I'm rejected after asking for my boyfriend's hand in marriage for the 99th time. To my devastation, he turns and proposes to my best friend. I storm over to his office to demand an answer, but I hear them making out. My boyfriend says, "Don't worry. She offered herself to me in bed several times, but I've never touched her." I head home and trash the place. When I run out of strength, I make a call. "I'll marry you, Spencer." Since the man I chose doesn't love me, I'll now go for someone who does.

The Past Is in the Past Chapter 9
The two of them instinctively looked at me at the mention of Brooke. I smiled indifferently, and they continued talking."Actually, when Zeke was with Heidi, he had already shown interest in Brooke multiple times. She knew Heidi liked him, yet she still pushed him toward her on purpose—like she was testing him. And guess what? He actually took the bait."None of us knew Zeke had feelings for Brooke. But everyone knew I had feelings for Zeke.Back when he confessed to me, I thought it was because he finally saw and was touched by my dedication. Looking back now, it was nothing more than part of his game with Brooke.Nonetheless, it was all in the past."Zeke Pedersen is trash—he deserves everything coming to him. But honestly, Brooke played her cards even dirtier."She always acted soft and innocent, but in reality, she was ambitious. She never thought Zeke was good enough for her, so she became a mistress for a rich man instead."But the guy's wife wasn't someone to mess with—sh

"I looked into it—Spencer never actually proposed to you. You don't even have a ring."Zeke stared at me and added, "You two aren't in that kind of relationship. Heidi, I know I was wrong before. I should've kept my distance from Brooke."He stood up and moved to sit beside me, but I got up first."I promise, from now on, my world will only have you—no other women, okay?"Zeke had changed. No matter how badly he had treated me in the past, he had never lowered himself like this, apologizing and begging for forgiveness.However, it was too late now. With every word he spoke, the more ridiculous I felt for ever loving him."So, you knew all along, didn't you?"You knew I was affected by your closeness with Brooke, but because you knew I loved you, you took advantage of it and did whatever you wanted."You constantly put me down because you believed I couldn't live without you. And now, you're only panicking because you've realized I can have someone else by my side."I looked at

Zeke's gaze lingered on me and Spencer, studying us with an unreadable expression. A silent battle unfolded between them, and the deciding power lay with me.I was fully aware of this, but instead of feeling triumphant, I found it ironic."Heidi, come here." The words were directed at me, but Zeke's eyes were locked onto Spencer.I felt Spencer tense beside me. Then, I leaned against him with a smile. "Mr. Pedersen, whatever you want to say, you can say it in front of my fiancé."I then wrapped my arm around Spencer's waist before adding, "There's nothing between us that needs to be kept secret.""'Fiancé'?" Zeke repeated the word through gritted teeth, his glare seething with anger. It was as if he would tear me apart if I didn't explain myself.I blinked innocently and smiled. "That's right. What's the problem? Spencer already proposed to me, which makes him my fiancé.""You have a fiancée, too, Mr. Pedersen. So, congratulations in advance on your wedding. If there's nothing e

"Where are you? Where did you run off to?"Come back now, and I'll let the matters that happened at today's birthday banquet slide."Heidi Yates, I won't allow you to marry someone else!"There were more than 99 unread messages and dozens of missed calls. I didn't reply. Instead, I deleted everything and blocked him without hesitation.There had been plenty of beautiful moments in our chat history. That was why, no matter how cruel he had been, I had never once considered deleting his contact.But after what he did at his birthday banquet, I realized it was no longer necessary. He had moved forward without looking back, so I wasn't going to keep myself trapped in the past.…Spencer stayed by my side as I searched for an apartment, built my résumé, and looked for jobs. He even helped me clean the new place.We didn't talk much as we were each quietly focusing on our own tasks. Then, the doorbell rang.I assumed Spencer had ordered something again, so I opened the door—only to

Zeke's smug expression froze. "What did you just say?"I slid my fingers down Spencer's arm until our hands intertwined. Then, I smiled at him. "Let's go, Spencer. We still have a wedding to plan."Spencer, who had been tense, finally relaxed. "Alright."Just as we were about to leave, a strong force yanked my arm so hard that it felt like it might break. I turned my head and met Zeke's bloodshot eyes.He let out a low and bitter laugh before saying, "You're even resorting to a fake marriage now just to get back at me?"Fine! You win."Then, as if granting me some grand favor, he finally offered me what I had once longed for. "I'll marry you. Happy now?"How ridiculous. Just moments ago, he had been on one knee, proposing to Brooke. And now, he was saying he would marry me?His arrogance was nauseating. What made him think I would still want him?"Sorry, but I'm not someone who goes back on my word. I already accepted Spencer's proposal, and I intend to keep my promise."I th

When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed. My throat was burning as if I had swallowed shards of glass.The room was empty except for a nurse. The moment she saw me awake, she hurried off to find the doctor for an examination.For the next week, I didn't see Zeke at all. However, my plans to leave had to be put on hold because of my condition.The day I felt slightly better, Zeke finally called. "Still alive? Told you a little rain wouldn't kill you. Tomorrow's my birthday. Make sure you show up. It's not me who wants you there—it's Brooke."The moment he mentioned Brooke, his voice lifted with unrestrained fondness."See? That's what makes Brooke so kind. After everything you did to her, she's still willing to forgive you."Hearing Zeke praise her like that, I almost laughed. I stared at my phone in a daze after he hung up. I knew I had to go. After all, some of my stuff was still at Zeke's place.…On the night of Zeke's birthday party, Zeke and Brooke stood at the entr

When Zeke saw me, he sneered. "Heidi, are you that desperate? You're even following me to a restaurant now?"He handed me a coat. "This is Brooke's. Make sure you apologize to her properly later. As long as she forgives you, I'll let this go."I didn't take it. I just looked at him.Zeke was always busy with work. Getting him to have a meal with me used to require booking a date a month in advance.Even when we did go out, he was impatient and cold the entire time. When we left the restaurant in the past, he would never wait for me by the restroom, let alone carry my coat.He used to say, "Women are such a hassle", before walking straight to the parking lot. It was as if I were some virus he couldn't wait to escape from.Yet now, he stood there willingly, doing for Brooke what he had never been willing to do for me. I felt bitter, but I no longer wanted to dwell on it."I'm here because I have dinner plans with my friends," I explained calmly.Zeke didn't believe me. "Oh, come

That night, I saw Zeke's update on social media. It was a photo of two hands tightly intertwined, with the caption, "Finally married the love of my life."In the comments, his friends all assumed it was me and kept tagging me."Congratulations! You finally married Heidi! When's the wedding?""Man, you're lucky to have married our campus belle!""Where's Heidi? Why isn't she saying anything?"…Zeke and I had been together for eight years, from college until now. All of his friends knew me. Even I felt dazed when I saw that post, let alone his friends.However, it wasn't me. It was never me. I clicked into the comments, ready to explain, but Zeke called me before I could type anything. The moment I answered, he lashed out at me."Heidi, you're disgusting! You deliberately told my friends to comment like that just to make Brooke feel bad, didn't you?"Listen up. Brooke is crying now. You'd better post on your feed and clarify that it wasn't you. And say that all these years,

My senior, Spencer Salter, spoke with excitement on the phone. He was thrilled that he was able to marry me. I used to feel the same way about my boyfriend, Zeke Pedersen.After confirming my relationship with Zeke and moving in together, I had eagerly looked forward to the day we would get married. I loved him deeply, but I also felt insecure.That was why I foolishly tried to bind him to me through marriage. That was why I insisted, over and over again, that we should get married.After rejecting me for the 99th time, he turned around and proposed to my best friend instead. Her victory made all my years of effort feel like a joke.As I leaned against the couch, silent tears streamed down my face.I remained slumped there until Zeke came home that evening. He pushed open the door, frowned at the mess, and scolded me, "Why is the house such a disaster? With the way you are, what man would want to marry you?"I slowly moved my gaze to him.
