I Broke Up With Him After The Concert Kiss Chapter 10

Three years later. 

I stood in front of the university auditorium. 

in my graduation gown. 

It was my bachelor’s graduation day. 

With top grades, I’d earned a full scholarship to a prestigious graduate program. 

Auntie flew out just to be there, taking 

photos and wiping happy tears. 

Asher stood beside her in a tailored suit. 

He was already a rising star at a top. 

investment bank. 

After the ceremony, Asher walked over and 

handed me a small velvet box. 

“Happy graduation, Elowen.” 

I opened it to find a delicate necklace. 

The pendant was shaped like a snowflake. 

We’d watched the Northern Lights together 

once, during a snowstorm. 

I smiled and let him fasten it around my 

neck. 

My phone buzzed. 

An anonymous email. 

I opened it. 

[Elowen, I passed the old bakery today.] 

[I bought your favorite strawberry cake.] 

[I miss you so much. Lila and I broke up. I’m 

sorry every day.] 

[How are you doing?] 

The words were groveling, desperate. 

I read it without feeling, deleted it, and 

blocked the sender. 

Nothing. No emotion. 

The past was dust, blown away long ago. 

Their lives, good or bad, meant nothing to 

1. me. 

Asher adjusted my collar softly. 

“Everything okay?” 

I slipped my phone into my bag and linked 

my arm through his. 

“Just spam mail.” 

We walked out of campus together. 

Sunlight bathed the wide streets, warm and 

bright. 

Auntie called ahead, eager to take us out for 

dinner. 

Asher squeezed my hand. We smiled at each 

other. 

I glanced back at the clear blue sky. 

Mom. Dad. 

Do you see me now? 

I’m doing well. 

I didn’t let those cruel people break me. 

I worked hard, and I made it. 

The road ahead is long. 

But I know it’s bright, full of flowers. 

breathed in deep, free air. 

I walked forward, and I never looked back.
