About this story
They made a graduation puzzle for five—and left Natalie out. Then came four coffees, four front-row seats, and a custom bracelet Mason bought for Claire while forgetting his own girlfriend’s gift. Natalie doesn’t fight for a place anymore. She packs one suitcase and flies to Zurich without saying goodbye. The moment they realize she’s really gone, everything flips. Mason starts calling nonstop. Her brother demands she come back. Claire suddenly wants to “fix” the misunderstanding. Natalie has only one answer: no. They spent four years proving they could live without her. Now they can watch her do the same—and discover exactly what falls apart when the girl they treated like nothing finally stops coming back.

After My Husband Gave Our House To His Mistress
After My Husband Gave Our House To His Mistress
I secretly enrolled in a classified national program without informing my husband, Elijah, who happens to be our team's leader. Initially, he didn't think much of it. He merely assumed I had become more compliant. Even when he decided to give a promotion opportunity from the organization to his first love, I remained unfazed. Then he proposed transferring the property meant for me to Paisley, his first love, and asked me to help raise her child. I agreed with a smile, my eyes briefly flickering to the notification of my successful application in my hand. Elijah frowned slightly and warned, "Don't try any tricks. If you change your mind, I'll divorce you immediately!" Feigning concern, I asked, "But if the house goes to her, where will I live?" "The organization has assigned me another place, hasn’t it? Paisley and her kid have a tough life; show some compassion!" Hearing his cold words, I couldn't help but feel a secret satisfaction. With his generous nature, he might be open to donating all his assets to the Heartland Welfare Foundation, right?
