Ending My Seven-Year Relationship with My Secret BoyfriendBOOK1-Chapter 1

For seven years, I had been in a secret relationship with my brother’s best friend, Jason Ramirez.

One night, after drinking, he looked at me with a playful smirk and said, “Zoey, I’ll find you a better man. Stop clinging to me, okay?”

I replied calmly and obediently, “Alright.”

It was because, in a past life, I had refused his suggestion and insisted on marrying him. After our wedding, Jason ignored me, deliberately distanced himself, and made me feel invisible.

Even when I was eight months pregnant and suffered severe bleeding after a car accident, he was attending a concert with his heartbroken secretary, Shairine, enjoying her favorite band.

It was only then I realized—he was someone else’s salvation, but he was never meant to be my soulmate.

When I said “alright,” Jason froze in place. He hadn’t expected me to agree so readily.

The dim light of the private lounge cast soft shadows. His handsome face was tinged with an unusual flush, but his eyes remained clear, showing no sign of drunkenness.

I sat composedly, my posture graceful and polite, a faint smile gracing my lips as I looked at him.
