Five Years Together… And He Gave the Ring to My Old Bully Chapter 08

Savannah stood there in a pale yellow dress, looking innocent.

“I just came to ask when you’re going back. The school’s starting to catch on that something’s up.”

I let out a cold laugh.

“Alex, I’d recognize Savannah even if she were ashes.”

“Of all the women in this world, you just had to pick the one who disgusts me the most.”

Savannah snorted. She wrapped an arm around Alex’s shoulders and looked at me with open disdain.

“Alex has enough admirers. Even if it wasn’t me, it would’ve been someone else.”

“You two aren’t even in the same city. There are just… things that aren’t convenient.”

“And if you wouldn’t even sleep with him, why should he stay faithful forever?”

My whole body shook with anger. I raised my hand and slapped her.

Alex’s face went cold. He immediately moved to steady her by the shoulders.

“Clara, whatever’s between us has nothing to do with Savannah. She’s innocent.”

Alex and I had been long-distance since starting college.

Even during breaks, we each went home to our own families.

I always believed what we had didn’t need that kind of thing to hold it together.

Neither of us planned on crossing any lines before we got married.

I never imagined that one day, he would use that as an excuse to betray me.

The tears came before I could stop them.

“Innocent? Stealing someone else’s boyfriend since high school makes her innocent?”

“Cutting my face and hiding behind juvenile protection laws afterward makes her innocent too?”

I wiped my tears and forced myself to calm down.

“Fine. I won’t bring up all the crap Savannah pulled before—not right now.”

“You’ve been asking why I broke up with you? I’ll tell you.”

“During senior year, I was going from one doctor’s appointment to another.”

“I was terrified that the scar would affect my grades and hurt my chances of getting into Kingsley University.”

“And you—you were taking overnight trips to another city so you could tutor Savannah.”

I looked straight at him.

“And the test—you broke every promise we made.”

“You purposely got low score so you could end up at the same university as her.”

“And I was stupid enough to want to give up my future and stay behind with you.”

My voice cracked.

“Alex, how did you even have the nerve to show up at Kingsley University?”

“How do you have the nerve to say I have no conscience?”
