Dumped(Extra Story)

It felt like a knife stabbing into her chest.

 

The pain washed over her in waves… until she slowly went numb.

Courtney, after using up all her leave, had stayed with Aurora for five days before she had to return to work.

 

"Aurora, I know breaking up with Alexander must be painful for you," Eleanor said in a calm yet firm voice. "I've met plenty of artists, but few are as devoted as you. It's admirable… but you need to pull yourself together."
