No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Conrad didn't say a word but gave a mocking nod after a long pause. "If you want to make a scene, be my guest."

I was too tired to argue with him any longer. I said, "I'm moving out of your place."

"Your place?" Conrad's sharp eyes narrowed. "Felicia, you have never truly thought of it as your home, have you? What a waste of my parents' affection for you."

I bit my lip. Didn't Conrad understand that it wasn't his parents' affection I wanted, but his? I had decided to break things off with him, so there was no point in saying anything more.

"Felicia, are you breaking up with me?" Conrad asked again.

It seemed he hadn't been listening earlier. Looking at him, whom I had adored for ten years, I left him with words that severed all ties, "Yes, Conrad, I'm breaking up with you. From now on, we go our separate ways, no strings attached."
