Chapter 16
About a month later, late one night–I jolted awake from a dream, heart racing.
I glanced out the window. A shooting star streaked across the sky.]]
And somehow, I just knew.
He was gone.
For good.
No trace left behind.[]
A few days later, I was scrolling through my feed when a headline caught my eye:[]
“Wife Beats Mistress in Broad Daylight–Chaos in Midtown!“[]
Curious, I paused the video.[]
And there she was–half her dress ripped, mascara running, humiliated in the middle of the street.
Noelle.
Well, well.
Long time no see.[]
I locked my phone and just…. felt nothing. Not even a flicker.
That’s when it hit me.
All those feelings I swore would last forever?]
They fade.
Time wears even the deepest scars down to dust.[]
One day, you’il look back and all those screams in your head turn into a sigh.]
Yeah, the heartbreak never really makes sense.[]
But eventually—you make peace with it.
And the best part?
Life still stretches out ahead of you, full of promise.
A future that’s finally, truly yours.
