Ex-wife, Please Come Back

'Maybe he was serious before, ' thinking Alice when she was dwelling in the past. 'When did our love begin to change? To put it another way, when did Jacob no longer love me?'

She could feel that he wasn't as excited as she thought when he picked her up at the airport, but she chose to keep it to herself.

This was just how people have always been. She could feel their love fading like a flickering candle in the dark, but she just could not accept it. At the back of her mind, she thought that he just might be having some interest in others out of longing, but it wasn't the truth. She had no idea that his love for her was really gone for good.

It could be said that love was a spontaneous feeling that could happen in an instant, but if someone was to change their heart, then it would be close to impossible to reverse that. Alice arched up a bitter smile as she continued to ponder. She rudely confronted Jacob's assistant as soon as she received a call from her.

"Why didn't Jacob call me himself? How many times must I remind you to be clear to him about my words? You stupid piece of crap! If you can't do your job properly, don't waste everyone's time and quit already!"

Her anger exploded, but the woman on the other end of the line just hung up the phone without a word.

Alice held the phone, summoning all her strength to clench her hand into a fist. She was speechless. First she found out that she couldn't feel Jacob's love anymore, and now even his assistant had lost respect for her.

She was almost on the verge of throwing her phone out of anger when she noticed that it received a message from his assistant.

"I have told Mr. Jacob what you said."

The simple words were almost like a bucket of cold water that washed over her. Yet somehow, it was the most devastating set of words she received ever since she got here. She stared into oblivion and her mind wandered somewhere else. She tightly held the phone in her hand that it could break at any moment.

She was forced to live in a foreign place and couldn't go back. Shadows suddenly cast themselves across her face and the voice in her mind became clearer. If she didn't have the chance to have him back, she would destroy him.
