Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Just stay safe.

Ill wait for your return, she responded.

Okay.

Dont contact me for now.

Thats it.

But- Kyson ended the call before she could say more.

Her much-anticipated first date had evaporated. Just then, the door to the private dining room opened slightly, and the waiter peered in again.

Ms.

Burton, how much longer will you be? Were closing soon.

Dulcie didnt answer.

She simply collected her belongings and left the restaurant.

As she stepped outside, the lights of the restaurant dimmed behind her, leaving her alone on a bench outside.

Sitting under the obscured night sky, enveloped in the fog and solitude, Dulcie felt a profound sense of disorientation.

The excitement of the evening had turned to disappointment, leaving her alone with her thoughts on an almost deserted street.

Its going to rain, she murmured to herself.

Back in the mountains, thunder often sent her scurrying for the safety of her room.

Now, though, she felt prepared to face it.

The rain arrived swiftly, soaking Dulcies clothes and chilling her to the bone.

She watched as other pedestrians scrambled for shelter, their screams distant over the noise of the storm.

Mist rose from the warming asphalt, obscuring her vision.

Cupping her hands, Dulcie caught the raindrops that relentlessly pelted her face. It was time to head home.noveldrama

As she stood up, a car raced by, flinging a wave of muddy water onto her dress.

Her white knit dress was now marred with splashes of mud.

Staring down in dismay at her ruined outfit, Dulcies spirits plummeted further.

Overwhelmed, she allowed tears to merge with the rain streaming down her face.

The relentless downpour offered no respite, and Dulcie knew lingering outside would only make her ill.

Touching her rain-soaked cheeks, she gave a wry smile.
