Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 902

He let out a soft chuckle and looked at Jordan Smith. “Confidence is a good thing, Mr. Smith, but overconfidence is just a joke. I hope today’s events will not be repeated.”

With that final warning, Dennis ignored him, leading Camila to his car. Jordan’s eyes stung from the sight of their intimacy. Watching Camila’s obedient and gentle demeanor with that man, his face turned pale.

Before coming to Cabinda, he had been confident, believing that Camila was only temporarily disappointed in him. He thought that with a little coaxing, she would come back. But as time went on, he began to realize that things were not as he had imagined. The Camila who belonged to him was gone, lost in the tender web woven by another man.

He had thought he could condescend to beg for her return, and she would come back. In the past, a single kind look from him could make her happy for days. So, he reasoned, if he just softened his stance, she would be moved and would surely return. He never believed a man like Dennis Williams could genuinely love Camila. He was more inclined to think Dennis was helping her get revenge, to make him realize their importance. It couldn't be real love.

It was this belief that had kept his hope alive. But in this moment, watching their departing figures, Jordan was struck by the harsh reality that he was wrong. The path Dennis had paved for Camila since her arrival in Cabinda proved he was serious. His lingering hope was utterly crushed.

Jordan’s face was deathly pale, and a hollow emptiness opened up inside him. For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of panic and dread—the feeling of something precious being stolen from him. But what hit him harder was the realization that Camila no longer loved him. She had fallen in love with someone else.

He could no longer deceive himself into thinking it was a lie. He had seen it with his own eyes. When she spoke those words, her heart and soul were focused entirely on the man holding her. It was the same look she used to give him, now completely transferred to another.

Jordan felt a suffocating tightness in his chest, a sharp pain as if a knife were carving out his heart. A wave of agony washed over him. He was finally tasting the bitterness of heartbreak.
