Never Again in This Life Chapter 16By Novel7s / July 1, 2026 Never Again in This Life Chapter 16On graduation day, the London weather was glorious.I wore my cap and gown and took countless photos on the lawn with Grandma and Leo.I knew where I was going, and I knew what kind of life I wanted to build.As for the people I’d left behind, their lives went on, but they had nothing to do with me anymore.Elara’s credit card debt was a hole that could never be filled.The money Sterling had given her quickly ran out.Debt collectors started hounding her, and she was forced to move constantly, her life a miserable cycle of running and hiding.Somehow, she got my new number and called me, begging for money.She sobbed over the phone, promising she would do anything if I would just help her one more time.I hung up and blocked her number.Her life was not my problem.After I made it clear I wanted nothing to do with him, Maddox fell into a deep depression.He quit his job and spent his days drinking.The last time he appeared outside my apartment was on a rainy night.He stood there for hours, just watching my window.The next morning, he was gone.He never came back.I don’t know where he went, and I don’t care to know.We had ended a long time ago. That chapter of my life was closed.
