An Unwanted Love Chapter 15
If the 23-year-old Christopher could see the 28-year-old him, would he want to kill him?I had become the biggest joke in the entire capital.They said my bride ran away from our wedding in front of the whole city and that she left behind two men fighting over her—neither of whom was any good.They said that a bastard like me deserved this for messing with her in the first place.I didn't care about any of it. I just wanted to see her again.I searched every corner of the city, but she was nowhere to be found.Only then did I finally understand the despair she must have felt when I disappeared and the helplessness she must have endured as she searched for me night after night.She had erased herself from my world.No one knew where she had gone.I tried hiring people to track her down, but the response was always the same. "Mr. Sanders, please don't make things difficult for us."It made sense. She had started planning her escape the moment she heard me say those words.She

Ryleigh stepped forward and wrapped her arms around me."She's old now, and she wasted so many years of your life. Why won't you look at me instead? I'm young, and more importantly, I love you. I've loved you desperately for ten years. My heart and eyes are only for you. I'm so much purer than her."Purer?I shoved her away, but for some reason, my eyes stung.I hadn't had a good night's sleep in months.Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was Jessica.I had thought that hurting her and getting my revenge would bring me satisfaction, but it didn't.Instead, I felt a suffocating, unrelenting pain.We had known each other since we were 12, and now at 28, it had been 16 years.To think that I'd lose her completely. Regret crashed over me like a tidal wave.Without any warning, I broke down.I buried my face in my hands and sobbed uncontrollably.Ryleigh tried to approach me, but I lifted my head and glared at her coldly."If you don't want to disappear from the capital, th
An Unwanted Love Chapter 1
A month before our wedding, my fiancé—Christopher Sanders—disappeared.I searched the entire city but couldn't find him.On the seventh day of his disappearance, I received news that he had been spotted in Louville.I took the next flight there overnight.Finally, I found him on a cruise ship.Just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard his voice, filled with mockery."I only went after Jessica Walter to provoke Hugh Freeman. Now that I've got her, she just seems boring."I froze after hearing that. He didn't sound drunk. On the contrary, he sounded completely sober.Following that came the cruelest words I'd ever heard from him."And after tasting her, I found her quite dull."Laughter filled with amusement echoed around him."As expected of Mr. Sanders, conquering the unattainable flower of Redfern Valley."Christopher seemed to enjoy the flattery and continued, "She acted like she was willing to die for Hugh when pursuing him in the past, but she turned out so unbe

He once said, "Jessica, I don't ask for you to see me. I only hope that from now on, you can live freely, following your heart."How ridiculous it was.I cleared my heart, making room for Christopher.I fell deeper and deeper in love.I started fantasizing about our sweet future together.But all I did was give him the perfect opportunity to carve wounds into my heart, one slice at a time, leaving me bloodied.The pain was unbearable, like a slow, agonizing execution.My emotions tugged at me, and my eyes burned with uncontrollable pain.A tear slipped down, and I wiped it away immediately.Inside, the conversation continued, voices throwing out ideas for his revenge."If you want to get back at a woman, the best way is to let her experience the peak of happiness—only to shove her straight into the abyss. Wouldn't that be more entertaining?""Exactly. Mr. Sanders, you should go back. Go with her to pick out a wedding gown, send out invitations together, and act like everythi

I sat up and raised my voice. "Hugh, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"I continued, "Five years have passed, and you're still so eager to put a wedge between me and him. But let me tell you—no matter what happens, this was my choice. I made my decision, and I'll take my loss. I won't look back."Hugh went quiet for a moment before saying something completely unrelated, "I sent you something. You'll want to see it."After he hung up, a video popped up on my phone.Under the dim lighting, a girl stood face-to-face with Christopher.He exhaled a cloud of smoke, his expression as indifferent as ever.Amidst the teasing and laughter in the background, the girl stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.More importantly, he didn't move away.The video ended there.I opened the girl's social media account.Lo and behold, she had just updated her status. "How is this not a success?"The attached photo was of them kissing.Nausea churned in my stomach. I ran to the bathroom and d

Lies. It was all lies."There are only 20 days left until our wedding. I'll stay home with you during this time and make sure you become the most beautiful bride, okay?""Unfortunately, there's no future for us," I thought to myself.He wiped away my tears with his fingertips. When those alluring eyes locked onto you, they made you believe he was deeply in love. "I'm going out for a smoke. You'll be discharged soon."Maybe Christopher trusted me too much, or perhaps he didn't care whether I overthought things. After all, he was just following his friend's advice, putting on an act of devotion.So, I picked up his phone, which kept buzzing with notifications.The password was my birthday.I had always known it, but I had never checked before.I unlocked the phone smoothly and noticed a young woman saved as "Peach Blossom" had sent him a flood of messages.They had only added each other yesterday."Chris, you went back so late. Remember to get some rest, okay?""I heard

That wedding gown took six months to make.It was one of a kind, designed by my favorite designer, and it arrived just a week ago.I looked stunning in it, but Christopher had disappeared before he ever got the chance to see me wear it.I didn't want it anymore.Did I regret it? No.Christopher wanted to play a game, didn't he? This was just the beginning.…The next day, we went to pick out a new wedding gown.Off-the-rack gowns never fit quite right.I deliberately made Christopher stay with me the entire day, trying on one after another, never finding the perfect gown.On the way home, I sighed. "It's such a shame. It was my fault for being careless."Christopher smiled. "It's fine. Take your time."I looked straight into his eyes. "Christopher, since the gown is ruined… Why don't we call off the wedding?"The car came to an abrupt halt.Momentum pushed me forward, but his arm shot out to shield me, keeping me from hitting the dashboard."Is something wrong?" he asked
An Unwanted Love Chapter 6
These would be my final gifts to him—the kind that would cut deep and leave scars on his heart.In the end, Christopher made the decision about the wedding gown. He said that for now, I'd have to settle for something temporary.He had already paid a fortune to have a new gown custom-made by a top designer, which I'd wear when we held our wedding on the island.Oh, right—that island. The one he bought when he proposed to me. The one he named after me.How ironic.Back then, when he proposed, he said he had finally gotten what he always wanted.Now, as our wedding day approached, he was the one planning to run away, leaving me humiliated on the altar."Tell me, Christopher. Is it so hard to find true love in this world?" I wondered to myself.…I saw another update from that young woman."Landed my new job! Chris is keeping me by his side. One step closer to my dream guy! Hehe…"Attached was a candid photo of Christopher in a meeting.I took screenshots of everything.Then,

I turned off my phone, picturing Jessica in her wedding gown. She would look beautiful.It was a pity her custom gown had been ruined.But it didn't matter. No matter what she wore, she would always be the most stunning bride.I told myself, "Christopher, from now on, put away your doubts, let go of your pride, and live a good life with her."…Something felt off at the wedding.I couldn't explain it.Everything was proceeding as planned—the host was on stage, guests were seated, yet my mind was elsewhere.I hadn't seen Jessica.My heart pounded unnaturally fast, a creeping sense of dread washing over me.Then, the host suddenly said, "Let's hear what the groom has to say."That snapped me back to attention. It wasn't part of the plan.Before I could react, the venue's surround sound speakers blasted to life.A familiar voice echoed through the hall."I only pursued Jessica to provoke Hugh.""Once I had her, she just felt boring.""But I still couldn't accept it. So, wo

"But sometimes, life is unpredictable. You never know what will happen next. I heard everything you said, so I played along, and I used the revenge you planned against me… to take my revenge on you instead.""Stop… Jess… 18 years! You're asking me to let go now? How do you expect me to just let it go?"His voice choked with emotion, and tears slipped down his face."What do I have to do for you to forgive me? Please, just tell me."I sighed. "The three of us have been entangled for far too long. There's no happiness waiting at the end of this. It's like that wedding gown. Once torn, it can't be repaired. And even if you get a new one, it will never fit quite the same."That's what we are now. That's our ending."I stood up."So, stop looking for me. I can't bear the weight of your so-called love anymore, and I won't turn back."He ran a hand through his hair in frustration, his voice laced with desperation. "The future is so long… Isn't there even the slightest chance for me?"
An Unwanted Love Chapter 12
"Our relationship ended three years ago. Just leave."But Christopher didn't leave. Instead, he bought the apartment directly across from mine and started living there.Furthermore, he started showing up at my university every day.For six months, he shamelessly followed me around, acting like he was ready to spend a lifetime waiting for me.Sometimes, when I lost my patience, I would snap at him, "Christopher, stop this ridiculous act. Your so-called deep love expired long ago."His eyes would instantly redden. "Jessica, I'm begging you. Don't do this to me, okay? I shouldn't have run my mouth. I shouldn't have said those things to hurt you. I shouldn't have planned to leave you on the altar to humiliate you."I really love you. It was just my pathetic pride that made me unwilling to accept it. I know I was wrong. Please… Don't toss me aside."I felt nothing. If anything, I found it ironic."Christopher, do you realize how pointless this is?"I continued acting like he didn't

The album was filled with photos of us, going from strangers to lovers.It documented everything that had happened since we started dating.On the last page, written in his strong, bold handwriting, were four words."Jessica, I love you."Monica caught a glimpse and immediately panicked. "Hey, don't tell me you're moved by this?"I shut the album and tossed it into the trash."Why would I be? If anything, feeling moved would only make a joke out of all the effort I put into leaving."She sighed in relief. "Well, there's something you might be interested in."That was when I learned from her what happened to Ryleigh.Apparently, it had blown up on domestic news.She was caught cheating with someone else's boyfriend, and the girlfriend beat Ryleigh up on the spot.Ryleigh then tried to clear her name through live streaming, only for people to dig up even more dirt on her.It turned out, she was a repeat offender.Every post she had ever written about her "secret love" for Ch

Before long, I saw Christopher arrive.Ryleigh threw herself into his arms.He stood there, unmoving. He didn't return her hug, but he didn't push her away either.I was too far to hear what they were saying.Ryleigh buried her head in his chest, sobbing uncontrollably.Strangely, I felt nothing this time.Suddenly, memories from my second year of dating Christopher surfaced.…When emotions ran deep, I had once asked him, "Do you think you'll ever cheat on me and fall for someone younger and prettier?"He had rubbed his cheek against mine and laughed. "What are you even saying? Who could ever be more beautiful than you?"Besides, if even I were capable of cheating on you, then there wouldn't be a single loyal man left in this world. I met you at 12 and got together with you at 25. Half my life has been spent with you. How could I ever love someone else?"…They were all lies.My phone buzzed with messages from my senior mentor, Monica Stiles."My professor is a legend. Y

"That's not…" He reached out to grab me, but I moved away.Then, a familiar voice sounded from behind."What are you two doing?"I turned around.With the sun at his back, Christopher's face was cast in shadows, his expression unreadable, but his gaze was dark and icy.His presence carried a suffocating, oppressive energy. He suddenly punched Hugh's face.Hugh barely flinched before countering with a hit of his own."Hugh, if you even think about going after Jessica, I swear I'll fucking kill you!" Christopher's eyes burned red, seething with fury.But Hugh wasn't about to back down either.He sneered, aggravating Christopher further. "Do you think you're such a saint, Christopher? Can you honestly say you didn't go after Jessica just to spite me? Can you swear your feelings for her were ever pure?"Yes, I want Jessica, but she never once responded to me. What about you? Does she know about your 'sweet little sister'?"For a moment Christopher froze.His face drained of col

"Chris and I are the real match, don't you think?" Ryleigh said.It felt like a heavy stone was pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe.Ryleigh, however, was relentless in her provocation."Women always choose to marry the one who loves them more than they love him. Do you really think he believes that after ten years of you loving someone else, you could so easily fall in love with him? You've only been together for, what, five years?"So, Christopher had told her everything.She was right. After I stopped pursuing Hugh, I spent two years as just a friend to Christopher. Only after I confirmed my feelings did we start dating for three years.I lowered my gaze and let out a chuckle."If you were truly confident that he would choose you, you wouldn't be here talking to me right now."Ryleigh's face paled, but she quickly retorted, "It's just a matter of time, isn't it? Just like you. You chose him after realizing his unrequited love. Soon, the tables will turn, and
