He Chose Her, So I Chose to Disappear Forever Chapter 15

He Chose Her, So I Chose to Disappear Forever Chapter 15

In a motel dozens of miles away, I stood under the hot blast

of a blow-dryer, warm and dressed in fresh clothes.

I cut my old SIM card into pieces and scattered them into different trash bags.

Then I turned on my new phone and logged into a clean

email account.

One message was waiting.

[Welcome to your new life, Phoenix Cole.]

My new name was Phoenix Cole.

Phoenix.

A little on the nose, maybe, but I liked it.

I opened my laptop and found a job offer from a European port technology company. They needed an engineer for remote maintenance of marine navigation systems. They

didn’t care what family I came from, and they didn’t need

any man to vouch for me.

I accepted the offer.

My old name would remain in a cold, dark bay.

My old ring would be returned to Luca’s hand.

And I would survive on my own.

A life can begin again at any moment.

It wasn’t too late.
