I Ran Far Away from My Ex

Synopsis

After time-traveling, I deleted all of Samuel Grant's contact info for good. He started working at an investment bank in Nenport, while I switched over to a tech company in Brigtoin. Basically, we were living in completely different worlds, destined never to meet again. The moment Samuel flew in for the weekend, I'd immediately book myself a getaway to Sunset Cove. I blocked him on WhatsApp and declined every call he made. He had just bought a house in the neighboring community. The very next day, I put my apartment up for sale. I didn't even want to catch a glimpse of him, let alone run into him. In my previous life, I was hopelessly in love with Samuel for twenty-five years, and for twenty-five years, he kept me at arm's length. Before I even hit fifty, I was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer. When I was suffering the worst of chemo, Samuel was off in the Eiviera with his new flame, Charlotte Linwood, picking out wedding rings. Meanwhile, the students I had personally mentored were busy helping him plan his wedding. Utterly alone, I was left retching in the hospital hallway until the world spun. Not even in death would I ever relive such a ridiculous life.
