Jacob seemed unable to accept the breakup. He persisted, saying, "I can't accept this. We've shared so many years together. Don't all those wonderful times mean anything to you?"

"You once promised to love me forever. Why are you walking away now?"

Seeing his hurt expression, I felt nothing. Without hesitation, I phoned the authorities and had him removed.

Later, I sent a message to Daisy, instructing her to take charge of Jacob.

From that moment on, Jacob truly vanished from my life.

During this period, Peter kept crossing my path, whether by chance or design. Though subtle, his growing attraction to me was evident.

I chose to be honest, informing him that I had just ended a long-term relationship and wasn't prepared for a new one.

But Peter remained undeterred. He responded that he was willing to wait, as he had already been waiting for a decade.
