I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 331

“Okay.” Ryan obediently agreed. I reached for my phone. Last night, I’d dreamed that Steven had taken it, but now it was lying right beside me, and I finally felt at ease.

“Looks like it was just a dream after all…”

When I first got this second chance, I used to daydream all the time, wishing Steven loved me so I could make him taste the bitterness of unrequited love, to make him suffer just like I had.

But on the day we divorced, he’d said—

“There’s nothing I can’t have, only things I don’t want. Zephyra, if I ever regret divorcing you, you’re in for a world of trouble.”

And I had to admit, he had a point.

Steven wasn't an ordinary man. He was rich, talented, and powerful, a scion of a great family and a business legend in his own right. Not even thirty, his accumulated wealth was already staggering. His path forward would only get smoother and more formidable.

Since all I wanted was to live my own life, protect my family, build my career, and wrest control of the company from my cheating father, I had no desire for revenge against Steven. There was no point in provoking him.

Provoking him was more terrifying than provoking anyone else. Verna was a perfect cautionary tale. He was obsessive and ruthless, and being the object of his attention was no blessing.

It wasn't that I was too weak to fight him; it was that his luck, his strength, and his destiny were just too powerful. He was the absolute head of the Lancaster family. Unless I was willing to pit the entire Lopez family against him, I didn't stand a chance.

But why should I be so selfish? The Lopez family owed me nothing. Leaning on them for a little help was one thing, but asking them to risk everything against another super-rich family wasn't just selfish; it was malicious.

Besides, my grievance with Steven in my past life was simply that he didn't love me and I had shamelessly clung to him. There was no need for a life-or-death struggle.

It was best if we were strangers. He'd better not get any funny ideas, because I really couldn't give him what he wanted.

I sent a message to Rachel, briefly explaining my situation. If it was confirmed to be the flu, I’d probably have to wait a few days before seeing Horace Spencer.
