In the midst of the noisy crowd, I watched as my fiance passionately kissed his assistant.

I stood there like a fool and watched them make out on stage.

The man up there was my fiance, Jake Stevens.

The woman was his personal assistant, Chloe Xanders.

The emcee, who had been standing awkwardly to the side, quickly directed the spotlight toward me when he noticed my arrival. He was trying to alert the groom.

“Mr. Stevens, the bride is here.”

Jake, however, did not even flinch. Instead, he pulled Chloe behind him to shield her from the prying eyes of the crowd.

And there I was, standing on the stage, enduring the judgmental stares, the whispers, and the ridicule from everyone around.

“I’ve said it all along. Mr. Stevens never liked Lily James. Why else would he humiliate her so openly like this?”

“Lily has no shame. How could she just stand there and take it with so many people watching?”

“She’s such a doormat.”

Listening to the whispers around me, my face grew pale. I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug into my palms.

Jake, however, did not even try to restrain himself. Instead, he took Chloe’s hand and casually played with it in his palm.

I stood frozen in place while the murmurs surrounded me. I let my nails leave one hidden mark after another on my skin.

When I did not react, Jake grew impatient.

With one arm wrapped around Chloe, he grabbed the microphone from the emcee with his other hand. He stared at me and said with clear irritation.

“Lily, are you coming over here or not? If you don’t, well then, the wedding will be canceled.”

After saying that, Jake confidently turned back to chat with Chloe without sparing me another glance.

He was sure I would forgive him, just like I had many times before.

He thought I would walk up to him willingly, smile, and go through with the wedding without a fuss.

However, not anymore.

Step by step, I walked toward him with determination. I ignored the whispers and stares from the crowd.

It was just like how he had walked toward me countless times in the past.

Just as I was about to reach him, I refused the hand Jake extended toward me.

Instead, I took the microphone and looked him straight in the eye. My voice was calm.

“Jake, let’s cancel the wedding. I don’t want to marry you anymore.”

As soon as the words left my mouth, the lively crowd around us fell completely silent.

Jake just scoffed and looked at me with disdain.

“Lily, we’ve been together for five years, and you’ve been chasing after me all this time just to finally get to this wedding.

“And now you’re walking away? Do you even believe yourself?”

Despite the pain tearing at me inside, when he asked that, I still nodded firmly.

After all, he had long forgotten that I was not the one begging for this marriage. It was him who had asked for it.

Five years ago, in the middle of a heavy snowfall, it was him who took my hand, knelt on one knee, and held up a ring.

He had asked if I would spend my life with him.

Back then, his eyes were filled with nothing but love for me.

That was why I forgave him again and again while giving him countless chances to hurt me.

However, at that moment, I suddenly realized something.

No one was truly indispensable in anyone’s life. No matter who left your life, you would still survive.

Under his smug gaze, I slipped the ring off my finger and held it up for everyone to see.

“Jake, I’m telling you now, we’re done.”

Then, I tossed the ring at him and walked away without looking back.

Just as I stepped off the stage, Jake’s best man, who was standing behind him, hurriedly tried to stop me.

“Wait, Ms. James! Jake was just joking.

“He really does love you. You’re not really going to break up over a joke, are you?”

Behind him, Jake’s face had turned livid with anger. His hand clenched tightly around the ring I had thrown at him.

It was the same ring he had spent a fortune to have custom-made.

Yet now, his voice was filled with coldness.

“Let her go! It’s not like I can’t have this wedding without her!”

Hearing that, the best man awkwardly withdrew his hand.

I let out a bitter laugh and walked out of the venue without looking back.

    Jake could say those words so confidently because I had compromised so much over the past five years.Every time he made a mistake, all it took was a token gift and a few half-hearted words of apology for me to forgive him without a second thought.So, of course, he would assume that this time would be no different.He was certain I would forgive him, just like always.But not this time.I had barely left the venue when my phone rang.“Ms. James, that was just a joke earlier.“Please come back. Mr. Stevens is about to marry Ms. Xanders.”I let out a bitter laugh. While sitting comfortably in my brand-new Maybach, I responded with disdain.“Let him.“He can marry whoever he wants. It has nothing to do with me anymore.”With that, I hung up without hesitation.Growing up, my parents always told me to follow the rules to fulfill my role as the eldest daughter of the James family.I was supposed to be well-behaved, obedient, and always composed.Under the weight of their pres

    Despite the awkwardness, I had no choice but to follow Zane inside.For the entire day, it was just the two of us in the shooting range.He stood close. His body was pressed against mine.“Hold it with both hands, spread your arms, and focus on the target ahead.“Relax your breathing, keep your eyes forward.“Relax.”Zane’s hands gripped mine. His chest was pressed tightly against my back. His warm breath brushed against my ear.“Focus, or you’ll miss the target.”Maybe it was because we were standing so close, I actually started having thoughts I should not be having.Yet, there was an odd sense of familiarity that made it hard for me to place who Zane really was.I cursed myself in my mind.Just because he was good-looking did not mean I should feel this sense of deja vu. People did not even use such cliche pickup lines anymore.Before I could focus again, Zane had already guided my hands. The gun fired.Bang.The bullet hit the bullseye. I looked up. There was excite

    In Cruglow, Jake stared at his phone with a livid expression.Ever since receiving that message, he had been calling me over and over, but he could not get through.He knew I never had a habit of staying out overnight, and I certainly would not hand my phone over to someone else.So, he wondered who the hell had sent him this reply?Jake’s eyes remained fixed on the phone. After taking a deep breath, he reached for another phone with a new number from his desk and dialed again.However, no matter which phone he used to call, the same response came from the other end.“Sorry, the number you are trying to reach is currently on another call.”Jake could not hold it in any longer. He grabbed his phone and threw it at the wall.The phone shattered on impact and broke into pieces that scattered across the floor.His anger surged. With a sudden burst of fury, he slammed his fist onto the nearby desk.The dented desk offered him only a slight release from the rage boiling inside.Si

    For the next few days, I was so busy with my new company’s business that I barely had a moment to breathe.Zane, who was afraid of disturbing me, always waited until I finished my work before picking me up and taking me home. Then, he would personally cook me a full meal.He was the only son of the Stone family. He had been raised in luxury and had probably never done anything like this before, but he did it anyway.As I looked at the table filled with all my favorite food, I could not help but feel touched.“Zane, thank you. I didn’t expect your cooking to be this good.”He simply filled my plate with spaghetti and said, “Once, I promised someone that I’d always stay by her side, cook her favorite meals every day, and to love her forever, even if now, she no longer remembers me.”As the scene in front of me suddenly overlapped with memories long forgotten, tears began streaming down my face.Actually, I had always been strong.However, I found myself crying uncontrollably at t

    After Jake caused such a scene, I was too embarrassed to stay any longer. I left the venue with Zane. We wandered around the area for a little.“Why did you show up all of a sudden without giving me a call?” Zane held my hand. I saw my reflection in his eyes. “I missed you, so I came to see you.”We spent the entire day together, but in the afternoon, I received a call from my brother.“Lily, you need to come to the hospital. Jake, that idiot, jumped into the freezing water to search for the ring. He was in there for hours. We couldn’t get him to stop, and now he’s in the ER. Can you come and see him?”I frowned and asked, “Is he awake?”“Yes, he’s awake. Here, talk to him.”There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds before I heard Jake’s voice.“Lily, I found the ring. Will you…”I cut him off with a cold tone. “Jake, do you think you’re still a young man? What are you trying to prove with all this drama? We broke up a long time ago. Stop bothering
