Chapter 9 The mention of Nicole made them all shudder . 1 , however , chuckled lightly . " She wasn't after you husbands . She came for Gavin . " My words left the neighbors staring at me in shock . I chuckled again . " Good thing we're getting a divorce now . " After bidding farewell to the neighbors , I went upstairs and opened the door to the bedroom . From the highest shelf , I retrieved the pink box . The box had been wiped clean , though a fine layer of dust had settled over it in the past few days . I opened it to reveal photos of me and Gavin , along with letters we'd written to each other . During our passionate days , we loved writing letters . The words on those pages carried all our love back then . But now , the love was gone . What was the point of keeping the letters ? I carried the pink box downstairs . At the building's incinerator , I burned the letters one by one . As the last letter turned to ash , I snapped a photo and sent it to Gavin . " Gavin , goodbye forever . " " Happy divorce ! " After sending the message , I got into Luciana's car , and we drove away . Gavin's calls came one after another , but I ignored them all . Every time Gavin called , I hung up . ' When he called again , I blocked his number . But the next second , an unfamiliar number came through . " Hannah , don't hang up ! " " Just hear me out ! " I let out a soft laugh and hung up immediately . Why should I give him the time to speak ? Who did Gavin think he was ? I leaned against the car window , gazing at the familiar streets and buildings . Suddenly , I felt tired of it all . " Luciana , didn't our company want to expand overseas ? " I think I'd like to give it a shot . " Luciana had always been a woman of action . The morning after 1 mentioned my interest in going abroad , she had everything arranged . " Hannah , just go and don't worry ! " " I'll handle the domestic side of things while you take charge overse " As for Gavin , let him and his mistress rot in hell ! " The moment Luciana brought up Gavin , I spotted him in the distance . He looked pale , unshaven , and disheveled . " Hannah , wait ! " He ran toward me , but a passerby knocked him to the ground hard . " What's your problem ? Watch where you're going ! " Gavin had never looked so pathetic . Together , we'll make something big happen ! " He scrambled to get back on his feet , but I stepped into the boarding gate before he could reach me . " Sir , you can't enter ! " " Security ! Security ! " Gavin tried to force his way in but was quickly restrained by several security guards , pinned to the ground . I walked away without looking back . The ten - hour flight passed quickly . I managed to sleep peacefully in first class . As I disembarked , a wave of heat and sea breeze greeted me , brushing against every inch of my body . I powered on my phone for the first time since leaving . Messages from Luciana flooded in , along with several videos . " I can't stop laughing - someone uploaded a video of Gavin at the airport to TikTok . " " So many people are mocking him . Some even recognized him as the cardiologist from City General Hospital . " " The hospital has already suspended him . " After that message , Luciana followed up with a laughing emoji , then continued with a rapid stream of updates . " Hannah , guess what happened to Nicole ? " " I went to the hospital to check . Turns out her suicide attempt was fake , but last night she ran into a medical dispute . " " She was stabbed to death on the spot ! " " Serves her right ! " Luciana's messages kept coming , one after another . The final one read : Chapter 9 " Hannah , I hope you'll love Barcelona . " " There's wind , there's the sea , there's the sun . It's a place where all wounds can be healed . " As the sun set over Barcelona, my tears slid onto my phone screen , only to be dried by the sea breeze . She was right . This was a new beginning . [ The End . ]
