A video of my boyfriend proposing to his secretary makes it to the trending topics. Everyone squeals over how romantic and touching it is. His secretary even posts on social media, "I've waited so long for you to appear, and I'm glad I didn't give up. I'll leave my life in your hands, Mr. Emerson." One of the comments goes, "God, this is so sweet. A CEO and his secretary—I ship them!" I don't weep or cause a fuss. Instead, I close the webpage and ask my boyfriend for an explanation. That's when I hear him talking to his friends. "I didn't have a choice. She would've been forced to marry someone she doesn't love if I didn't help her." "What about Vicky? She's your actual girlfriend. Aren't you afraid of her getting mad?" "So what if she is? She's been with me for seven years—she can't live without me." Later, I have my wedding on the same day as his. Our cars drive past each other, and I exchange bouquets with his secretary. When he sees me, he breaks down.

Sorry, but You're Not My Groom Chapter 10
I didn't remember Isaac ever seeming this pathetic in front of me before."Stop fighting it, Isaac," I responded evenly. "It's not that embarrassing to admit that your feelings changed. While I believe that you did truly love me once, it's also true that you've had a change of heart."Isaac frantically cut me off, saying, "That's not true. I still love you, Vicky. You have to believe me."Laughing, I said, "You say you love me, but you don't even remember my preferences. The food and snacks you buy for me are all Jenny's favorites. You claim to love me, but you give me the same gifts you give Jenny. You call it love, but you don't even remember my birthday or our anniversary."You tell me you love me, but in a moment of danger, you forgot all about me and ran toward someone else instead. Is this what love is to you, Isaac? Well, in that case, your love is rather worthless, isn't it?"Isaac grew agitated when he saw how unmoved I was by his declaration of love."I know I've done m

The guests at our wedding were all prominent figures in society. I didn't want to make a name for myself in this social circle through such a scandal, nor did I want to ruin the wedding that Mom and Dad had been yearning to have for so long now.I got Henry to summon the security guards and drag Isaac out of the hall. The short interruption didn't affect my wedding ceremony in any way. Everything proceeded smoothly.Once everything was over and the guests had been sent off, I turned to Henry and said, "Can you give me some time to handle the earlier matter? I need to make things clear to him."Henry trusted me. He nodded without hesitation and said, "Go on, but be careful. If you need help, call for me. I'll be right here."For some reason, his reaction gave me a sense of security.Isaac was currently being held in a room with a security guard standing there to keep an eye on him. When the security guard saw me, he quickly said, "Please talk some sense into him. He's been in a car

Because of the scar, I felt so guilty that I cried. However, Isaac gently wiped my tears away and chuckled indifferently, saying, "It's fine. It's just a scar. I'm still as handsome as ever."My tears fell even harder as I asked, "Does it hurt?"Isaac panicked at the sight of my continued crying. "It doesn't hurt. I'm not in any pain at all! Please don't cry, okay? Please stop. My heart hurts to see you cry…"Back then, he risked his life without hesitation to save me from a fire. But now, I wasn't the one he would do that for anymore.Later on, tragedy hit Isaac's family. The Emersons were ruined overnight and left with an overwhelming debt. Isaac, who was meant for greatness, ended up falling from grace, too.I kneeled beside him and kissed his tears away, promising, "You still have me. I'll always be with you."I chose to attend the same college as him and flew to the city where he was. We even talked about getting married as soon as we graduated from college.Isaac loved me

When I started bringing Isaac his lunches again, Jenny greeted me warmly. However, I instantly spotted the necklace she was wearing. I had the same one at home. Isaac had given it to me for our anniversary. At the time, Jenny complimented the necklace, saying, "It's so pretty! Isaac has such good taste. You're so lucky, Victoria—unlike me. I'll never get to wear such a pretty necklace."At the time, I felt disgusted. When Jenny saw me staring at her neck, she continued to smile at me without any sign of guilt or avoidance."Your necklace…""Mr. Carter gave it to me," she readily admitted with a straight face.I fought with Isaac over that matter, but he claimed I was overthinking things again. It was just a reward to Jenny for doing such a good job.That was also the day I spotted the lunch I brought tossed in the trash when I went back to Isaac's office to retrieve the bag I accidentally left behind. For the first time, Jenny dropped her facade in front of me, too.Eyeing me m

Soon, my bridal party arrived at the hotel. While I was getting ready, I checked my phone. As soon as I turned it on, I received a flood of messages.The overwhelming majority of them came from Isaac."Vicky, pick up the phone, please?""I made a mistake, Vicky. Please come back to me. You can't marry someone else!""I'm begging you, please! Come back. I can't lose you…"I had plenty of unanswered calls as well, and surprisingly, a few taunting messages from Jenny, too."Isaac and I will be getting married today, Victoria. He purposely lured you away because he's scared you'll cause a scene. If you have any self-respect at all, you should ask for a breakup. Stop clinging onto Isaac."The one who isn't loved is the true third party in any relationship. Do you think Isaac hasn't broken up with you because he loves you? No, he just pities you. He stopped loving you a long time ago. "You're old and not as young and pretty as I am. He only gets to feel how exciting life is when he'

Isaac couldn't believe his eyes. His heart was racing as he mumbled to himself, "I must be mistaken. Vicky went on holiday. Why would she show up here? I'm probably just hallucinating because I miss her too much."Jenny was just as shocked. She stared at me with her jaw dropped, too stunned to speak. Compared to them, I was a lot calmer. In fact, I remained expressionless as I held my bouquet out. Jenny snapped out of her reverie and accepted mine before handing hers over.Smiling at her, I said, "I hope you two have a happy marriage."The window came back up, and the car drove off once more as the two bridal parties carried on heading down opposite directions. It felt like a symbol of my relationship with Isaac. We were destined to go our separate ways.However, just as the car started moving, I thought I heard a heart-wrenching shout. I instinctively looked toward the source of the sound, but Henry, who was sitting beside me, reached out and blocked my eyes with his hand.He s

Pausing, I looked up at him and asked, "By myself? You're not coming with me?"Isaac sighed lamentably and said, "I've got too much on my plate at work right now. I can't leave. I'll join you next time, okay?"Well, there wasn't going to be a next time, Isaac.Bending down, I continued to bandage his hand while saying, "I might not be able to take leave from work.""Don't worry about that. I'll handle it for you.""But I don't feel like going," I insisted.However, Isaac's tone left no room for discussion as he said, "Don't be stubborn. I've already booked everything. There's no way to get a refund."Though I said nothing, I felt my heart turning cold. I had woken up in the middle of the night last night and overheard Isaac on a call with someone else."I don't plan on telling her. I'll keep it from her as long as I can. Just to be safe, I'll arrange for her to go on a trip during the wedding."The person on the other end of the line sighed and said, "What, then? Are you going

I tried to explain myself with, "You've misunderstood the situation. I'm not—"However, Isaac cut me off with a wave of his hand, refusing to hear what I had to say. "I'm busy. I'm going now. It's best if you stop doing such things. It'll only wear out my love for you."The door slammed shut with a loud bang, and the house fell silent once more.I stood in place for a long time, laughing at myself. How much love for me did you even have left, Isaac? How could it possibly be worn out any further?In the past, I would've been so upset about the fact that he misunderstood me that I would go for days without being able to eat or sleep properly.But now, I was able to get over it quickly. I continued to go through the wedding details Mom sent me.Before setting my phone aside, I checked my social media updates, only to find that Isaac, who never ever posted on Instagram, just did.There was a photo of Jenny as well as their wedding invitation, along with the caption, "With how incred

Isaac seemed rather busy lately—so busy that he forgot my birthday. I no longer cared, though. However, it seemed like it suddenly occurred to him, and to make it up to me, he bought tickets to watch my favorite musical.The musical was extremely popular, and tickets were hard to come by. I couldn't even get my hands on any, so when Isaac said he had a pair and invited me to go with him, I agreed to it.Alas, on the day of the musical, he was a no-show.Instead, I saw Jenny posting a photo of two concert tickets.The caption read, "I was bored, so I decided to watch a concert. It's great to have someone who is always there to accompany you on all your spontaneous decisions."Although the photo was devoid of faces, I recognized one of the hands in the photo thanks to the scar on it—it was Isaac's hand. He got that scar when he saved me a long time ago.I felt like a clown. Here I was, standing in the rain outside the theater, worried that he might have gotten into an accident of s

"I'll do it, Mom. I'll marry the guy you chose for me," I said.In the darkness of the living room, my voice sounded stiff and melancholic.Mom was shocked to hear that I was agreeing to the marriage alliance she previously proposed. "I thought you didn't want to do it? Why are you agreeing to it now? "Marriage isn't a game, Vicky. It doesn't matter if you don't want to get married. I just want you to be happy. You need to be sure about what you're doing. Don't make rash decisions."Tearing up at her words, I replied, "I've thought things through, Mom. You guys can proceed with the wedding preparations."Mom knew I was upset. After a moment of silence, she started comforting me, saying, "Your dad and I have always known that your relationship with Isaac wouldn't last. "You've been with him for so many years now, but he has refused to make things official between you two or even let the families meet each other."This time, her words cut me like a knife. Alas, everyone else cou...
