Not This Time

Olivia Garcia had been with Ryan Wilson for three years. It was a relationship of convenience — she was drawn to his body and the thrill he gave her, while he appreciated her being low-maintenance and understanding. But Ryan's womanizing and emotional neglect never stopped, and Olivia was exhausted. When her mother pushed her to settle down and a managerial position opened up at the branch office in her hometown, Olivia decided to end things. Facing Ryan's usual provocations and threats of breaking up, she didn't back down this time. She said the words clearly — and walked away from the one-sided relationship for good. And Ryan, who had always acted like he didn't care, actually chased after her.
