He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 30

That was the day she finally understood what it meant to fall in love. Struck by his maturity, brilliance, and sheer dominant presence, she fell hard and fast, entirely unable to pull herself out.

After the interview, he handed her a business card and fondly patted her head. "You're very sweet, but your questions were incredibly sharp. Call me if you need anything else."

His deep, gravelly voice had been laced with a subtle warmth. In that instant, Scarlett's entire world lit up.

She took the card with trembling hands, and when her fingertips brushed against his, a jolt of electricity shot straight through her.

Desperate to bridge the gap between them, she became utterly obsessed with his life. She familiarized herself with every design project he spearheaded, every architectural philosophy he endorsed, and every industry summit he attended.

She took on a minor in architectural design, pulling all-nighters to digest brutal textbooks just so she could see the world the way he did. After graduation, against her mother's furious protests, she forced her way into Flynn Group as an intern. From a junior assistant to an independent project lead, every step she took was calculated and relentless.

She truly believed that if she just worked hard enough, she could finally stand by his side as an equal. Becoming his wife had been the ultimate fantasy, a dream she never imagined would actually come true.

For five years, every time she woke up in the middle of the night and saw him sleeping next to her, she had to pinch herself... Had she actually married the man she worshipped?

But now, the dream had shattered into a million pieces. The only woman Yardley had ever truly loved was not her.
