When Ryder's professor sent him yet another email, he glanced around his cold, empty home. Faced with Seth's relentless provocations, Ryder made up his mind—he would leave Laura. With the wedding fast approaching, Ryder decided to give Laura the perfect ceremony—one that would please both her and Seth. His departure, however, would be the biggest surprise of the event. But after Ryder walked away, Laura looked at the groom standing at the altar, lost control, and destroyed the wedding in a fit of madness.

Chapter 2
Laura didn't come home for several days, always claiming she was busy with wedding preparations whenever Ryder asked.Three days later, the aroma of food filled the air as Ryder woke early in the morning.Laura bustled about in the kitchen with a spatula in hand, wearing an apron. On the living room table sat a gift box."You're up! Breakfast will be ready soon. Sit down and relax. Oh, and that box on the table? It's a gift for you—open it and see if you like it," Laura said cheerfully.Instead of opening the gift, Ryder asked, "What made you think of giving me a gift all of a sudden?"Laura's eyes flickered nervously. "No reason. Do I need one to buy something for my soon-to-be husband?"Ryder could see through her.She was gambling—betting he hadn't overheard Seth's phone call or, if he had, that he didn't care.She probably won that bet. Truthfully, he didn't care anymore.He opened the gift box to reveal a flashy, expensive mechanical watch, the kind young men might find c

Chapter 3
As soon as Seth sat down, his eyes lit up as he pointed at the gift box on the table."Laura and I picked out this watch together last night!" he exclaimed.Ryder glanced at Laura, noticing her gaze was fixed on Seth. Her eyes were warm, and her faint smile carried a subtle tenderness."You've got a good eye," she said, adding food to Seth's plate. "He really likes it."Seth turned to Ryder. "Ryder, don't blame Laura. She stayed up so late last night working on the wedding plans. Good thing I was there to help, or she wouldn't have even had time to drink water."Although his words were directed at Ryder, his gaze lingered on Laura, his expression faintly accusatory.Laura shot him a playful glare. "Alright, alright, you've done so much. Thank you."At the table, Ryder might as well have been invisible. He couldn't get a word in.For a moment, he laughed bitterly to himself before quickly masking his emotions."I'm done eating," he said. "You two go ahead. I have something I ne

Chapter 4
"Ryder! Ryder!" a voice called out from the end of the street.Ryder looked up and saw Seth—with Laura standing beside him, looking visibly awkward.It wouldn't have been hard to brush off the situation. After all, she was his boss, and he was her assistant. Saying they were on a business trip would have been perfectly reasonable.The problem was that Laura was draped in Seth's jacket, and they were standing too close to appear purely professional. Instead, they looked more like a couple out shopping together.With Harry also present, Laura felt the need to explain herself."We were just in the area for a business meeting and were about to head back. It got a bit chilly, so Seth gave me his jacket," she said quickly.Harry scoffed.Trying to ease the tension, Laura asked, "What about you two? What brings you here?""We came to try on suits, to make sure they fit," Ryder replied."Don't worry, they'll fit perfectly. They were tailored to your measurements," Laura assured him.

At that moment, Laura's call came through. "Ryder, I just heard from the project department manager that you've handed off all your work to others. What's going on?""I told you yesterday, didn't I? I'm taking care of the rest of the wedding planning. I can't juggle everything at once. The others in the department are seasoned employees—I trust them to handle things," Ryder explained."Oh, alright. I thought... Never mind," Laura dismissed."Mm," Ryder hummed.After hanging up, Laura couldn't shake the uneasiness in her heart.Something about Ryder didn't feel right, but his explanation made perfect sense, leaving her with little to question.Suddenly, she stretched her hand into the air, making a grasping motion.The air slipped through her fingers, leaving her empty-handed.It felt as if something was slipping away from her—something she couldn't hold onto.-Ryder hailed a cab and headed to an orphanage on the outskirts of town.This was the same orphanage his parents had

The three of them stayed with Lisa until the sun dipped low in the sky. She said she was tired and wanted to rest."Alright then, you rest up. We'll head out now," they said."Ryder, you stay. Read me a few stories. I haven't been sleeping well lately," Lisa requested.Ryder nodded and watched as Seth followed closely behind Laura, whispering something to her as they left the room.The hospital room fell silent again."What about the wedding?" Lisa asked. "What are you planning to do?""I'll take care of it. She'll be satisfied," Ryder replied."And you?" Lisa pressed."I'll go abroad, continue my studies, and probably settle there long-term," he answered.A heavy silence settled between them."Alright. Granny supports you," Lisa said.Ryder stood up, gave her a tight hug, and left the room.Outside the hospital, Laura's car was parked by the curb. She waved at him as he walked out."Come on, let's go home," she said.Ryder raised an eyebrow. "Where's Seth? Why isn't he w

Chapter 7
Laura barely slept that night, and by the time she woke up the next morning, Ryder was already gone.Looking around the empty house, she felt a wave of irritation.Her phone buzzed with a notification. It was a message from Seth.Seth: [Laura, it's already 9:00 a.m.! Why aren't you back at the office yet? Don't tell me you're still sleeping in?]He added a skeptical sticker at the end.Laura's annoyance flared, but she forced herself to reply calmly.Laura: [I'm on my way. If anyone comes looking for me, just handle it for now.]-Meanwhile, Ryder had already settled into Harry's place, dragging his suitcase inside.He was busy coordinating with the wedding planners, making sure every detail of the upcoming ceremony was adjusted—swapping the groom's name with Seth's.The invitations had been reprinted, the suit tailored for Seth was ready, and even the wedding photos had been photoshopped to include him.The final task was notifying Seth about his role in the wedding."Ther

Chapter 8
Once Laura convinced herself that Ryder still loved her, she forced down her unease and went about her days as usual—working at the office, having meals with Seth, and enjoying the peace of her routine.Life felt easy and pleasant.That was, until the night before the wedding, when she found herself unable to sleep.Even after spending the entire day shopping with Seth, exhaustion couldn't lull her to sleep.-The next morning, dark circles rimmed Laura's eyes. She was so out of it that the driver had to practically drag her into the car.When she arrived at the hotel lobby, it was already packed with guests.Everyone who saw her came up to congratulate her, but she only responded with perfunctory nods. Her eyelids felt too heavy to stay open.After half an hour resting in the dressing room, she went through makeup and wardrobe.Finally, she stood at the entrance to the hall.Laura waited for what felt like an eternity until it was time for the bride to make her entrance.He

Chapter 9
As Seth pulled an envelope from his pocket, Laura snatched it from his hands.Her fingers trembled as she opened it.Inside was a letter wishing her a happy marriage and a bright future. The letter also included instructions for taking care of Fuzzy. Not a single word mentioned where Ryder had gone.From a corner of the hall, faint meows echoed.Fuzzy stepped out from behind a flower vase.Laura scooped the cat into her arms and sank to her knees, tears streaming down her face.She suddenly remembered she had promised to take a family photo with Ryder and Fuzzy before the wedding. It was too late now.Seth, clueless about what was happening, stepped forward to comfort her. But as he approached, Laura grabbed his collar."Where's Ryder?" she demanded.Seth, overwhelmed and confused, stammered, "I-I don't know! Didn't you tell me to come here?""When did I tell you to come?" Laura snapped."Yesterday! You told me to be here for the wedding today!" he replied.Laura let out a

Chapter 10
When Seth saw Laura, he finally stopped. He cautiously approached her, his voice filled with concern. "Laura, w-what's going on?"He wanted to comfort her, but she took a step back as he stepped forward.Seeing this, he immediately stopped.He waited for a long time, but she didn't move closer.Growing frustrated, he asked directly, "You were the one who asked me to come to the wedding. Why are you acting like this?""When did I ever say to come to the wedding?" Laura shot back."You had someone deliver the suit to me! It was the custom suit for the wedding you ordered! You had it delivered the day before the wedding. Isn't that a sign you wanted me here? And the suit fits perfectly. Didn't you order it for me?" Seth demanded.Laura was stunned. There was no way the measurements for this suit were for Seth.Given the circumstances, the only explanation she could think of was one thing.She left Seth behind and took a taxi to the clothing store.People around her pointed and w
