During a game of truth or dare, my boyfriend, Ryan Patel, chose to kiss his childhood friend, Michelle Woods, for three minutes to save her from a penalty. When I found out, I was furious. I called him in tears, confronting him about the unbearable intimacy between them. He remained silent for a long time before speaking coldly, "Are you done crying?" Then, he drove Michelle home. I crouched in the rain, watching couples huddle under umbrellas, and from that moment on, I never contacted Ryan again. Three months later, at an auction, I bought a men's wristwatch. When Ryan heard about it, he chuckled. "Forget it. In three days, I'll go and coax her back myself. She just needs a way out." His friends all sent me messages, congratulating me on how well I had him wrapped around my finger. I didn’t reply to any of them. I simply posted a picture in my feed—my newly issued marriage certificate.

Goodbye to the Past, Hello to Love Chapter 12
"She looked so beautiful today, but she’s no longer mine."The voice was hoarse.I didn’t listen any further and silently got into the car and left.Julian drove, a grin never leaving his face.I thought back to the scene where he watched me at the altar. He was dressed in an elegant white suit, his dark tousled hair slightly messy, his face glowing with excitement.He had scooped me into his arms like a champion celebrating a hard-won victory.Cheers erupted all around us.The past was already behind us.…Julian brought me to the villa, and the moment night fell, he eagerly sent everyone away.In a hurry, he pulled me into the bedroom.His white dress shirt hit the floor.The defined lines of his back, the smoothness of his skin, and the contrast of his broad shoulders and narrow waist filled my vision.Even without looking at his face, I could feel the raw energy of his youth.He guided my hand to his abdomen, his skin warm under my touch.His lips pressed against mine, heat linger

"She's married," Ryan blurted out, unsure why he said it. He was usually composed, and in the business world, it was crucial to keep your cards close. Discussing personal matters was not his style.Leo looked surprised. "She’s really married? To whom?”Seeing Ryan's current state, Leo thought, “Why not just win her back?”Ryan stared out the window. "She’s married to that brat from the Walker family."Leo fell silent. In Central Horizon, the Patel family could offend anyone—except the Walkers. And Julian was completely off-limits.Leo felt that it was the end of the road for Ryan and Lizzie. But looking at Ryan now, he didn't dare say it.After a while, he went out to buy food.Ryan watched the door close and pulled out his phone to message Lizzie. But he was met with a notification: "This user is no longer in your network."Lizzie had already deleted him. That was why he couldn’t see her social media.If only he had messaged Lizzie sooner and realized things earlier—would it have

He even said, "If I lose my wife, I won’t be able to live." His grandmother was heartbroken. "How can that boy from the Patel family behave like this? He’s trying to steal my granddaughter-in-law? No way, you all have to do something about this." I finally understood why people always said, “You can offend anyone in the Walker family, but never Julian.”He was like a walking, talking menace, and being the youngest in the family, he was naturally spoiled. I thought it was a casual remark from his grandmother, but to my surprise, both of Julian’s uncles agreed. Only his father gave him a cold glance, almost as if he were used to it and had accepted it.The Walker family had strict rules. Even the tree by the gate stood tall and rigid, a symbol of their discipline.They didn’t take things lightly. If anything, it seemed like the once open door for the Patel family had now been firmly closed.… Ryan didn’t remember how he got back. He only knew that when he finally cleared his
Goodbye to the Past, Hello to Love Chapter 9
I remembered that day when Ryan and Michelle returned from the amusement park. I was livid. That day, Ryan and I had gotten into an argument. He looked at me, frowned, and then turned to walk into the study, leaving only a simple request for me to calm down. Perhaps out of guilt, the next day Ryan had a room full of stuffed animals delivered to me. But I never cared about those toys. What mattered to me was that he gave everything I wanted to Michelle. Maybe before that night, I would have been moved by his gesture, but now, looking at Ryan, all I could think of were those words: “Late affection is as meaningless as a fleeting trend. If you don't act when it counts, it loses its relevance later on.”…I looked at him, offering a cold smile. “Mr. Patel, that’s all in the past now.” When old flames meet, I couldn’t pretend to be friends after a breakup, nor could I bury the past. To me, it was simply over. He looked at me, seeming to offer some form of compromise. “I’

“Liz.” … On the other end, Michelle’s voice trembled with suppressed sobs. “Ryan, I asked Miss Lee out for tea, hoping to convince her to give you another chance. "But I never expected her to dump a whole cup of iced coffee on me.” …He barely registered anything else, only the mention of Lizzie’s name. Before he could think, the words left his mouth. “Liz, apologize to Michelle.” The moment he said it, regret hit him. But then again, this was how it had always been. Ever since Michelle returned, people naturally paired them together. At gatherings, there was always an empty seat beside him, left for her. Lizzie refused to play along. Michelle would then stand up, offering to switch seats, only to leave crying. The moment she walked away in tears, everyone would rush to comfort her. And he, frowning, would tell Lizzie to apologize. Lizzie’s face would stiffen with embarrassment. She’d press her lips together, refusing to say a word. So, he would simply

"I just never expected that he would actually fall in love with you." A flicker of irritation flashed in her eyes. I sat there, looking at the photos—Ryan carefully making gifts for her, celebrating her birthday… The fog in my mind finally lifted. Any lingering resentment I had toward him disappeared. "Well, you two really are a perfect match—one heartless enough to leave her boyfriend behind to chase freedom, only to come back and wedge herself into his new relationship. "And the other, still holding onto his past while pretending to move forward, keeping one hand on his girlfriend and the other on his ex."Michelle chuckled. "Lizzie, don’t say that. I was young back then, that’s why I left Ryan to go abroad. "I’m just taking back what was mine, isn’t that fair?" My phone vibrated. The number on the screen was unfamiliar, but the repeated digits at the end made it obvious who it was. I answered the call, looked at Michelle, and let out a cold laugh."Sure, don’t

He told me in private that if Julian ever mistreated me, I could just let him know.When I left his grandfather's study, I saw half a wooden rod hanging behind the door. Julian leaned in. "There’s another half. It broke when I was eight after I got into trouble and was punished with it." …Back in the new bedroom, Julian immediately set me down on the low cabinet by the entryway and kissed me deeply. His body pressed between my legs. I tensed up completely, only able to wrap my arms around his neck. "Liz." His eyes were slightly red, carrying a strange trace of lust. Suddenly, I understood what my mom meant when she said, "Younger men are the best."Lying on the couch, I finally reached out my hand. His eyes were a little damp at the corners. Yet, for some reason, I felt a twisted sense of pleasure. He let out a muffled groan, his eyes growing wetter.I finally understood what it meant when they said a man's tears were a woman's aphrodisiac. But soon enough, he

""I'll head over in three days and get her back. You know how she is—stubborn as ever. She just needs a good reason to swallow her pride."Ryan’s meaning was clear. The room fell silent as everyone exchanged looks before turning toward Michelle. Even though she was sitting right beside Ryan, her expression shifted, a hint of embarrassment creeping onto her face. I didn’t bother watching any longer. I pushed open the door and walked into the suite next door. …Julian’s friends weren’t quite what I expected. They were all young—some bold and flashy, others more reserved—but to my surprise, they treated me with genuine respect.It seemed like Julian had given them a heads-up beforehand. There were quite a few girls in the group as well, all friendly and welcoming, easily slipping into conversation about fashion and jewelry. As we got more comfortable, a few of girls—cheeks flushed from drinks—suddenly huddled around me, burying their faces against my chest with giggles. J

I stared in silence. Perhaps sensing the awkwardness, Cathy was the first to speak."So, does this mean the blind date was a success? Are you two officially together now?" I opened my mouth to explain only to see Julian already nodding. I turned to look at him, and he lowered his voice. "Liz, that was my first kiss." Three sets of eyes remained fixed on me, waiting for my response.With nowhere to run, I could only nod. There was no getting out of this one. After all, I had literally tackled him in front of his mom—then kissed him on top of it. No excuse in the world would make this look any better. …When I got home, Julian sent me a message. "Liz, if you’re not interested in me, that’s okay. I’ll be fine."For some reason, that only made me feel more embarrassed. But when I thought about it, it wasn’t exactly a bad deal for me. He was handsome, and I already knew what kind of person he was. Maybe giving it a shot wasn’t the worst idea. And just like that,

Chapter 1
The day Ryan shared a passionate kiss with his childhood sweetheart was on my birthday.He promised to take me to the estate that night to watch the fireworks. I dressed up carefully, wearing a red short dress despite the early autumn chill. As I stood downstairs, shivering slightly, Ryan finally arrived. A sleek black Maybach pulled up discreetly at the entrance. Avoiding my mom’s teasing gaze behind me, I quickly slipped into the car. As soon as I got in, I placed my hands inside Ryan’s coat pockets. Perhaps finding it inappropriate, he glanced at the driver with a slight frown and pulled my hands out. The car was already heading toward the airport. Midway, Ryan’s phone rang. I saw Michelle Wood’s name on the screen and felt annoyed, refusing to let him answer. Ever since she returned, every time Ryan and I were alone, she would find a way to insert herself. The three of us together always felt incredibly awkward. But Ryan never seemed to mind. In fact, when I compl...
