Chapter 6
In the hotel parking lot, Nancy spotted Cyrus emerging from his car, barely getting his footing.
“Cyrus!”
Donned in a cheeky French maid costume, Hayley lunged at him, her legs wrapping tightly around Cyrus‘ lean waist.
And that wasn’t all. Hayley boldly grabbed Cyrus‘ hand and slid it under her short hemline.
“How do you like it, Cyrus?”
Cyrus‘ Adam’s apple bobbed visibly, his eyes betraying an undeniable desire. “You little tease.”
“Do you like it?” Hayley cooed, her eyes sultry slits, “If you don’t, I can change.”
“Would I be here if I didn’t?” Cyrus chuckled darkly, his voice low and teasing.
Hayley responded with a kiss, the corner of her mouth curling up in a seductive smile. “So, how about a little
fun in the car?”
Cyrus raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk on his face as he gazed at Hayley.
With a shy laugh from Hayley, unable to restrain himself, Cyrus scooped her up and dived into the car with her. The car door slammed shut, and soon, the vehicle began rocking violently.
Witnessing that, Nancy felt a sting in her eyes, thinking she had cried out all her tears the night before, only to realize seeing them still hurt.
She still remembered the first time she rejected Cyrus.
Undeterred, Cyrus had said, “Nancy, you can reject me, but I’ll spend my lifetime proving how much I love you! There’s no room in my eyes for another woman but you.”
Nancy laughed then, but it was uglier than crying, the pain as sharp as the shock of seeing a photo of Cyrus on a brilliantly clear day.
So, Cyrus had this urgent side to him.
Seeing Nancy silent, the driver said sympathetically, “Miss, there’s no man out there who doesn’t stray. My husband… well, but we have kids. When I look at their faces, I just can’t bring myself to talk about divorce. Maybe you should let it go.”
By the end, the driver was in tears.
“Let it go? Why should I?” Nancy took a deep breath, her lips trembling as she spoke, but her expression was firmer than ever. “I will never settle. I don’t want a man so filthy.”
She would see it as loving the wrong person and giving her heart in vain!
Nancy cursed, ‘Cyrus, I don’t love you anymore, you heartbreaker.‘
She had spent the month trying to unlearn her love for Cyrus, and at that moment, she succeeded.
Returning home in a daze, Nancy looked at the necklace around her neck.
Only You.
‘Screw it!‘ Nancy promptly sold the Only You with other jewelry and even the wedding ring Cyrus had given her.
After all, Cyrus would never see her again in a matter of days!
She kept packing her bags, taking about three hours until she felt worn out and decided to get up and make herself a cup of coffee.
Before she could take a sip, Cyrus burst in, anxiety written all over his face, his hands trembling as he grabbed

Nancy’s shoulders.
“Nancy! Why did you sell the ‘Only You‘? And even our wedding ring! Just because I left you alone at the amusement park today, you retaliate like this?”
Looking at the uncontrollable rage on Cyrus‘ face, Nancy winced in pain. “Cyrus, let go.”
“I won’t let go. You know the Only You represented my heart, yet you sold it with our wedding ring! You’re too much!”
Cyrus‘ handsome features twisted in an indescribable distortion, a profound unease engulfing him. “Nancy, why are you so cruel to me? I told you I was busy with work. What more do you want from me?!”
When facing the ghastly Cyrus, Nancy’s suppressed fury surged.
Who was being cruel here? Was it work, or was Cyrus too busy with Hayley?
Nancy was about to confront him when suddenly her phone vibrated on the bed.
Interrupted, Nancy instantly cooled down while Cyrus turned to look.
“Nancy, who’s that?”
Nancy glanced over, her heart skipping a beat at the sight. It was the official who handled her identity cancellation!
