I stayed awake all night and called Samuel countless times but couldn't get through.
I guessed he didn't answer the phone because he was so happy to be with Della.
When it was dawn, someone was opening the door. The next moment, the door was pushed open and Samuel walked in.
"Why are you sitting here?"
He was obviously frightened by the sight of me, who was sitting on the sofa, disheveled, pale, and dazed. My eyes were already bloodshot from not sleeping all night.
I just stared at Samuel, trying to hear an explanation from him.
Both of us looked at each other in stalemate for a long time, but he still didn't say anything.
After a while, Samuel coughed uncomfortably and looked away from me.
"The company has a project, and I have to go on a business trip for a few months. I probably won't be back during these months."
He was still lying to me, and I felt heartbroken in an instant.
"Samuel, don't you have anything to say to me?"
My voice was trembling, and at this time, I hoped he would be honest even if our ending was destined to be like this.
His face froze for a while, and he chuckled and said, "What can I say to you?" Then he walked towards the bedroom.
Listening to the sound of him packing his things, I was so disturbed that I had no idea how to solve the problem.
I loved him so much that I thought that as long as Samuel didn't expose it, I would pretend I knew nothing.
After coming to my senses, I realized how ridiculous it was.
For the past seven years, I had been revolving around him so that I had long lost myself.
How pathetic it was.
Half an hour later, Samuel came out with a suitcase and frowned while watching me still sitting on the sofa. "Fiona, take care of yourself."
His concern wasn't sincere, and I couldn't help laughing. "What about you? You're going to take care of Della, right?"
Obviously, Samuel was shocked to hear me ask him the question.
He frowned, looking puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Now that I had said it, there was nothing I could hide anymore.
I stood up and walked slowly to him, opening my phone and clicking on the video Jason had sent me.
It wasn't until the end of the video that Samuel understood everything.
However, I didn't see any regret or self-blame in his eyes.
"Since you've already known everything, there is no need for me to hide it from you." He looked at me with a cold gaze as if I were a stranger, saying coldly, "Della is simple, and it is difficult for her to live with a child, so she needs me.
"Also, it wasn't until I met her again that I realized that she was the one I had been thinking about all along.
"I don't want her to feel aggrieved because of me, so I'll marry her."
Hearing this, I felt completely disappointed.
We had been together for seven years, not seven days or seven months.
It took Samuel seven whole years to realize that the person he loved was Della. This was a bit ridiculous.
I wondered, "Since he doesn't want her to feel aggrieved, then what about me?"
There were many questions I wanted to ask, but I could only experience a dull pain in my heart.
The room was dead silent at this moment.
Because I didn't say anything, Samuel became a little panicked as if he feared that I would stop them from being together.
"I remember all the help you've given me over the years. Della wants to live here so I can't give you the house, but I'll deposit 20 million dollars into your account and buy you a car and a house..."
"Okay."
Before Samuel finished speaking, I forced a smile and looked up at him while holding back my tears.
He was startled. "What?"
It seemed that he didn't expect me to be straightforward. He might be so delighted that he couldn't react.
I took a deep breath and nodded numbly. "I agree to break up with you."
Samuel stared at me closely as if he was trying to make sure that I was unwilling.
But in the end, he was not able to get what he wanted.
I looked away and turned around. "I will move out as soon as possible, so you should fulfill your promise as soon as possible.
"Also, I can sell you the company's shares. Please name your price."
Samuel was choked for a moment, for I was acting in a businesslike manner. It was just like discussing a project, not breaking up with him.
He was a little surprised by my indifference, and he said after a moment, "Okay, we'll still be friends from now on. If you need my help in Aneorth, just tell me."
I couldn't help laughing while hearing his words, then turned to look at him, and mocked, "Forget it, Mr. Harper. I don't have the bad habit of keeping in touch with my ex after breaking up."
After I scolded him, Samuel's face looked livid when he left.
I thought I would be heartbroken after the breakup. After all, that was the person I loved for seven years.
But strangely enough, I wasn't as sad as I had imagined.
However, since Samuel could be so heartless to me, then I didn't need to be strongly attached to him.
While packing up on the day of moving, I found the ring I prepared for him. I looked at it for a long time until my eyes were sore. Finally, I threw this ring worth seven figures into the toilet and flushed it down the drain.
Meanwhile, I decided to end the relationship between me and Samuel.
I had reached an agreement with him about the shares. A week later I drove to his company to sign the contract.
I arrived at his office easily, and I saw Della holding a little girl upon opening the door. When she saw me, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
It seemed that she recognized me.
I looked around, and there was no one else in Samuel's office. Just then, Della spoke.
"You are Fiona, right? Samuel is in a meeting; come in and sit down."
She acted like a hostess, and her tone sounded condescending.
I walked in and sat on the couch without saying a word.
Della's eyes would fall on me from time to time, and it seemed that she had something to say to me.
After a few minutes, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"I know about what happened between you and Samuel, but I don't mind.
"He said that he only loves me."
I frowned and thought, "What's wrong with her?"
"Ms. Turner, are always you so self-deprecating?" I asked with a smile.
Della looked embarrassed and even a little angry. "What do you mean?"
"Literally." I smiled and continued, "But Ms. Turner, since you knew that I had been with him for the past few years, you still felt at ease being with him.
"It shows you are not a nice person."
Della was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up, angrily questioning me, "You mean I'm his mistress?"
"Of course. What else? If I remember correctly, you broke up with Samuel because he wasn't rich and you met a wealthy married man. How dare you to go back to him now? You're shameless.
"But fortunately, he's also silly. You two, the bastard and the bitch, are really a perfect match.
"I wish you two can be together forever, or you will trouble other innocent people."
Della wanted to refute, but as soon as I finished speaking, the office door was pushed open. Next, Samuel and Jason stood at the door.
As soon as she saw them coming, it only took her a second to burst into tears.
She threw the child aside and cried into his arms. "Samuel, she called me a mistress."
The next moment, his eyes fell on me.
As his beloved woman cried miserably in his arms, Samuel patted her shoulder with heartache.
"Fiona, you go too far. Apologize to her!"
The reason why he was so confident was simply because of my deep love for him.
In his opinion, I would continue to be obedient to him as I had been for the past seven years.
But this time, I ignored him. I took out the share transfer agreement I had prepared in advance and threw it on the desk, then turned around and looked at them coldly.
"Samuel, after the contract is signed, please transfer the money to me. We will never have any contact with each other from now on."
When I came out of the office and the door closed, Jason's sarcastic voice came from the room.
"Samuel, Fiona loves you so much, she will definitely pester you."
He answered confidently, "Of course, she loves me so much that she will definitely not give up. She will come back to me within a week.
"However, I only love Della, so it's useless for Fiona to pester me."
