An Unwanted Love Chapter 8
"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

"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

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
An Unwanted Love Chapter 11
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
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

"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?"

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
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
