Love You No More novel Chapter 1

Li Chuntao stared at her phone with a confused expression written on her face. Why was her sister not answering her call? It had been two weeks since they last talked and she'd been trying to reach her since morning but her sister Ying never picked up her calls.

Did something happen to her twin sister? She wondered.-

She gave one last try and dialed her sister's number again but Ying was still not answering her calls.

'She must be busy,' Li Chuntao tried to convince herself. This wasn't the first time this had happened anyway.

"Iris! Are you coming or not? Don't push yourself too hard and relax!" Her roommate called after her to get her attention.

Iris yes, in this foreign land which wasn't her home, she used the name, Iris. Like her name Chuntao, which means 'spring flowers', the iris flower also blooms in the spring season.

Her roommate was right. She'd been pulling all-nighters for the past few weeks preparing for exams, she barely saw the sun outside. But no matter how busy she was, she would never forget to check on her twin sister.

"Ying I wonder what you're doing now.' she thought as she prepared herself to go outside with her friends to celebrate.

The person in her mind was currently slumped on the floor watching as the darkness covered the whole city. Li Xiuying didn't know how to fix her shattered world. As she remained seated in her place, she wondered if fate truly hated her existence.

Wasn't it enough that they took her parents at her young age? That her first child was also lost from a miscarriage? Was she really an unlucky one to suffer such torture?

Numb from the pain her husband caused her, Li Xiuying dragged herself to the bathroom and showered. Later she dressed up to meet her lawyer. Was she really divorcing Mu Jianyu? Was their years of marriage all for naught?

As she stepped outside their room, she was greeted by the huge portrait of her and her husband. One that reminded her that she was once a happy bride standing next to the love of her life.

She stared blankly at it, not realizing that tears were streaming down her cheeks again. The image of the loving man she had was shattered into millions of pieces.

"I'll love you forever. You will never be alone, Ying," he promised her.

His promise continued to echo within her mind, reminding her how much failure of a wife she was.

"Lies! They were all lies! You shameless coward." she thought that she didn't have any more tears to shed but the mere sight of their wedding photo was enough to start another stream of tears.

Promises were meant to be broken. There was no such thing as forever.

For the past three months, Li Xiuying was forced to watch how her husband turned into a total stranger, and every time he was home, her heart felt like it was squeezing the life out of her. He wouldn't even touch her, not that she wanted him to.

Mu Jianyu disgusted her, so much so that she purposely spent her nights in her workroom pretending to be busy with her paintings when in fact she just couldn't take the hypocrisy he was showing her.
