She Became His World by Turning Me Into the Villain novel Chapter 10

**Chapter 10**

“Ms. Reed, are you absolutely certain you don’t want to reconsider going back to school?”

The words hung in the air, heavy with possibility.

“We can cover your tuition. This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

As I absorbed the offer, an unsettling sense of unreality washed over me.

Not long ago, when college had slipped through my fingers and my mother was struck by that car, I had been convinced my life was destined to remain trapped in a bleak, stagnant existence.

The thought of being granted another chance at education felt like a distant dream, something I had long since buried beneath layers of despair.

Moreover, I had read that hospitals abroad boasted advanced treatment options for my mother’s condition, providing her with a significantly improved chance of recovery.

A flurry of calculations raced through my mind as I weighed the expenses, and in a moment of resolve, I unblocked Ethan’s number.

“You mentioned that all that money you tried to send me ended up with Summer because she gave you the wrong account number. Fine. Just send it to me now. I need it.”

“If you genuinely feel guilty, then give me something that actually matters,” I shot back, my tone more biting than I intended.

On my phone, the screen displayed “typing…” for what felt like an eternity, each passing second stretching my impatience. Finally, a message popped up.

Ethan: [Give me a little time. I don’t have much cash right now.]

Despite the delay in transferring the money, he reached out to me daily, his messages a steady stream that began the moment we met and continued to flow into the present.

I chose silence, not responding to a single one.

Ethan: [Nora, I don’t even know what I was thinking back then. The truth is, when we first got together, I was the one who wasn’t good enough for you.]

Ethan: [If it hadn’t been for you and your parents, I probably would have lost my way a long time ago, with no one to keep me grounded.]

Ethan: [When I met Summer, I truly believed in her. I kept convincing myself that she was the better choice, that perhaps I could find something greater instead of remaining stuck where I was.]

Ethan: [It took me far too long to recognize that the best thing I ever had was the very thing I started with.]

Ethan: [Can you give me one more chance? Even if it’s just as friends, even if you never forgive me, I’ll prove myself through my actions.]

Still, I remained unresponsive. When the transfer finally came through—a staggering million dollars—I promptly blocked him again.
