After the Breakup, I Rejected His Second Pursuit
The night my apartment caught fire, my firefighter boyfriend Yannis was nowhere to be found.
As smoke filled my lungs, I desperately dialed his number, praying to hear his voice one last time.
Instead, his ex-girlfriend Wendy answered.
"Jasmine? Yannis is here celebrating my birthday. What's up?" she chirped, oblivious to my dire situation.
Before I answer her question, I heard Yannis in the background, his voice laced with irritation. "It's my day off. Tell whoever it is to stop bugging me."
The line went dead, and when I tried calling back, I found he'd blocked my number.
By some miracle, I survived that night. When I returned to work at the fire station, I immediately requested a transfer.
Suddenly, Yannis was everywhere, begging me to stay. But it was too late.
I finally found a good place to read novels!
