All Because of You Novel – I thought he would propose today, but he broke up with me. But two days later, he had a new girlfriend. “What? Are you seriously breaking up with me?” “Kelly! I want a woman who is disciplined, intelligent, focused, confident, and independent. I’m sorry Kelly, but you seem to lack all of those qualities.” With a hurried apology, he hastily excused himself, leaving me standing there, my heart in tatters, feeling utterly abandoned. As I stepped into Joe’s restaurant I saw a woman with wavy blonde hair and a body shape that every woman dreams to have appeared by Ethan’s side, intertwining her fingers with his. Who was she? “Kelly, meet my girlfriend!” he announced, his words landing like a heavy blow. The pain of his betrayal surpassed anything I had felt before.
“It’s not you, it’s me.” Those words reverberated through Kelly’s mind, piercing her heart like a thousand tiny needles. Her once radiant smile faded, replaced by a bewildered expression of disbelief. “What? Are you seriously breaking up with me? With some cheesy, generic line you probably found on the internet?” Kelly’s frustration surged, her anger causing her hands to slam down on the table. The sting of tears threatened to escape her eyes, but she fought to hold them back. “I’m sorry, Kelly,” he murmured. “I just don’t think that we can continue this relationship.” The weight of his words hit her like a ton of bricks, shattering the hope that had been building inside her. “And here I thought you were going to propose to me today.”
A mixture of sadness, anger, and disappointment welled up within her, and tears cascaded down her cheeks like a torrential downpour. With trembling hand, she reached up to wipe her tears, inadvertently smudging her carefully applied makeup. “Propose to you? What are you talking about? You are such a mess, Kelly.” he sneered, his disgust evident in his voice as Kelly reached out her trembling hand, damp with sweat, desperately grabbing his. “If I’ve done anything wrong, I’m sorry. We can figure things out, Ethan, please don’t break up with me!” Her voice quivered, filled with desperation. “Kelly! I want a woman who is disciplined, intelligent, focused, confident, independent and above all, a woman who carries herself with grace and courtesy.
I’m sorry Kelly, but you seem to lack all of those qualities.” With tears streaming down her face, Kelly took a deep breath, her voice quivering but filled with newfound determination, “Ethan, I hear your words, and I understand your disappointment. But I won’t give up on us just yet. I will strive to become the woman you deserve, the woman I know I can be. Please, give me a chance to show you that I can change.” As Ethan was about to respond to her, his phone rang and he snatched his hand away from Kelly’s grasp.With a hurried apology, he hastily excused himself, leaving Kelly standing there, her heart in tatters, feeling utterly abandoned. The room seemed to spin around her as she struggled to comprehend what had just transpired. It was as if the ground beneath her had crumbled away, leaving her suspended in a sea of confusion and hurt. How could he simply end everything?
Kelly’s heart sank as she stepped into Joe’s restaurant, the very place where her heart had been shattered two days before. Disappointment tugged at her, overshadowing any hope for her blind date. She braced herself for what was to come, convinced that nothing he could say would pique her interest. Just as she settled into her thoughts, a voice broke through the din of the restaurant. “Hey, I’m Ezekiel,” he introduced himself, his words carrying a warmth that caught her attention. Kelly’s gaze shifted towards him, taking in his presence. Ezekiel stood a little shorter than her, his slick black hair elegantly brushed back. With a gentle gesture, he invited her to take a seat, his eyes gleaming with genuine kindness. “Okay, I guess it’s nice to meet you too,” Kelly muttered, her smile fading almost instantly. As Ezekiel began to delve into his life, sharing details about his job and personal experiences, Kelly’s mind drifted away, disengaged from the conversation.
Lost in her own thoughts, Kelly barely registered Ezekiel’s puzzled expression as he interrupted his monologue. “Errm… Kelly, I believe a conversation is meant to be two-sided,” he mumbled, confusion evident on his face. “Oh… I’m sorry, I…” Kelly’s words trailed off as her ears recognized the unmistakable voice that had haunted her for days. It was him, the one who had callously dumped her at this very restaurant. Her heart raced as she turned her head, her eyes meeting his across the room. Ethan? What on earth was he doing here? Kelly’s mind raced with a whirlwind of possibilities. Could he have come to apologize and win her back? A mischievous smile tugged at her lips as she entertained the thought, eagerly awaiting his approach. “Hey, Kelly,” Ethan greeted, his eyes briefly scanning the table before settling on someone at the other end. “Looks like you’re on a date, huh? That’s nice.”
Kelly shrugged nonchalantly, not wanting to give him the wrong impression. “Oh, it’s not really a date, just hanging out,” she replied, trying to downplay the situation. But before she could dwell on his presence any longer, a woman with wavy blonde hair and a body shape that every woman dreams to have appeared by Ethan’s side, intertwining her fingers with his. Who was she? “Babe, what are you doing here?” Ethan’s words cut through the air, and Kelly’s heart sank even further than it had when he ended their relationship. “Kelly, meet my girlfriend!” he announced, his words landing like a heavy blow. The world seemed to spin around her as the reality of the situation sank in. The pain of his betrayal surpassed anything she had felt before. All she could think of was the song “traitor” by Olivia Rodrigo.
