The Day His Demands Broke My Water novel Chapter 55

A few days after the incident at the café, I saw Jeremy and Branka featured in the news.

The reporters had dug up everything about them—from Jeremy cheating on his fiancée to Branka stealing my design.

The footage of Branka throwing the coffee cup at me was also included. The internet was flooded with criticism of the two of them.

I didn’t need to guess to know this was Jake Raphael’s doing. When he noticed me reading the news, the smug expression on his face practically screamed, You’re welcome.

…

Before I knew it, I had been in the UK for nearly two years.

The company had expanded and opened a branch in China. Jake told me that if I wanted, I could return to the country to oversee things.

I decided to go back.

After landing and settling into my accommodations, I unexpectedly ran into someone I hadn’t planned to see.

"Vera... Am I hallucinating, or is it really you? I missed you so much…"

It was Jeremy.

"Vera, I wasn’t thinking straight. If this ring bothers you, I’ll buy you a new one. Wait here—I’ll get you something better…"

I sighed, thinking I had already made myself clear.

"Jeremy, it’s not the ring I have a problem with—it’s you. Have I not made that clear enough?"

"I’m in love with someone else now. Stop embarrassing yourself."

As the words left my mouth, Jeremy’s face crumbled with despair. The ring slipped from his hand, falling to the ground.
