When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Ethan walked away from his acting career the moment filming for Josephine's movie wrapped up.

The fans were all shocked.

Just as the fans were ready to welcome a new star actor, he dropped an unexpected announcement. Everyone wondered what was the reason behind his actions.

Before long, Ethan addressed the speculation on his account.

"To my fans, I owe you an explanation. I apologize but I only ever joined the industry for one reason only. It was to pursue the woman I love. Now that we're together, my wish has been fulfilled. I have no reason to stay. Thank you for your support. If fate allows, we'll meet again."

Attached to the post was a photo. In it, his hand was intertwined with a smaller and softer one. The intimacy was undeniable.

The comment section erupted.

"Oh my god! He's not just quitting! He has a girlfriend! This is a double heartbreak!"

"Why are you doing this to me? Who is she?"

"Look at her hands. They're so smooth and delicate. There's not a single callus. She's got to be some rich beauty."

"Director Jo! Say something! Who's the girl? Is she the female lead from the movie? Why did he leave right after filming?"

"I refuse to accept this! I refuse!"

Speculation ran wild on the Internet. A paparazzo stirred the pot even further with a comment.

"That woman might just be Director Jo herself," the comment read.

With that, the Internet exploded with discussions.

Josephine's recent divorce had already been a hot topic. It had only been a few months since. Had she really moved on that fast?

"But honestly, I get it. It's Ethan. He's the definition of perfection."

"Right? Who would say no? You don't just turn down Ethan. That's like turning down the universe."

"Ugh, my heart hurts! But if it's Director Jo, I'm happy for them."

Josephine had always been well-loved by the public.

For one, she had handled her divorce withnoveldrama

nable grace. There

neither theatrics nor playing the le

. People respected ho

for

that.

Second, her talent was undeniable. As a film director, she had proven herself time and time again.

And lastly, it was her looks. She never paled in comparison to Ethan. If anything, they looked like a perfect match.

Anyone who dared to object just sounded bitter.

Josephine hadn't expected this

reaction. She had braced herself for backlash. But instead, the Internet flooded with support and wett wishes.

Slowly, she let herself read the comments. Before long, she even started to enjoy them.

Ethan was now free from the entertainment industry. However, he had no plans to dive back into business either.

He had quit for one reason only. It was to spend all his time with Josephine. Or rather, to make sure she spent all of hers with him.

Because of that, Mason complained more than once that Ethan had basically stolen his job.

Fortunately, Josephine's schedule

as a director wasn't overwhelming. After the filming of "Unwise in Youth, Abandoned in Age" ended, she had a six-month break before

e'

post production. Then came the

promotions for the movie.

After that, all that was left was to wait for the movie's release. The rest of her time

was hers to enjoy.

Josephine and Ethan went to concerts together, traveled together, and did everything they had ever wanted to do.

Still, sometimes, doubts crept in. Josephine worried that this happiness might fade a few years.

But love had a way of making a person stronger. She had grown stronger. So, she felt confident.

Even if Ethan left her one day, she knew she would be okay. She would keep moving forward.

Josephine was ready to embrace whatever the future had in store for her.
