Chapter 1: Love is Not EnoughJasmine POV“Do you still remember my promise to you four years ago?” I glanced at Travis when he suddenly said that. Promise? Which of his promises? That he would love me as much as I love him? That he would cherish our memories until our last breath?I shrugged because I didn’t know what he was referring to. He smiled and slowly took my hand, placing it on his chest, where I could feel his heartbeat. His heart was beating rapidly, mirroring mine. He looked straight into my eyes.“I promise to love you forever,” I smiled at his words. I knew that. I looked away, still smiling broadly.“I know,” he chuckled. “I know, you know, but that’s not the only thing I mean. Four years ago, I decided to marry you.” I looked at him again.I remembered that. I thought he was just joking back then. This is the second time he mentioned marrying me.“Marry me?” He nodded. “Yes, from the first time I saw you, I knew you were the woman I wanted to spend my life with. You’r
Chapter 2: DivorceJasmine’s POV“By the way, I need to go home now.” Diane nodded her head. “Sure. I guess he promised he’ll go home early today again, am I correct?” She guessed.

Let’s hope he will keep his promise today.”I smiled and hugged her. “Thank you for always supporting me, Die.” She tapped my back. “Go home now.” I nodded. “Get well, Diane.” She nodded.

She saw how Travis courted and proposed to me. She liked him for me before. But when he started ignoring me, she wanted to skin him alive. She even joked that only if she can, she will.Diane was diagnosed with a rare disease one year ago. There’s only a small chance to get cured, but choose to fight. The hardship between her and I, hers, is worse
Chapter 3: PregnantJasmine’s POVI slowly lose my strength. I feel weak and numb. I can’t accept this reality. My husband wanted a divorce, and my best friend died. I sob hard. Please tell me this is just a joke. A nightmare, I badly want to wake up now.Nothing could hurt more than this day. Why did all of this happen now? Why? What did I do to deserve all of this?“He’s having an affair,” I murmured weakly. My tears kept streaming down my face. I stared at the pictures attached to the letter. Diane was right. There’s another woman. But I’m still forcing myself not to believe it.I trust him so much. I gave him everything: my time, love, and care. I even stopped pursuing my dream just to be with him.

Chapter 4: Promises Jasmine POV “I was pregnant. “I covered my face using my hands. I’m shaking, and I can’t stop sobbing. The only person I am with, with whom I can share my sadness, my pain, and my thoughts, is gone. My best friend died, and now, I am pregnant with Travis’ baby. I was so blind that I couldn’t think of him cheating on me. What about those promises? I feel weak, I don’t know how to get up, I’m so upset right now. I feel like the world is playing me for doing this to me. How could Travis do this? What about that night? How could he play me so well that I didn’t even get suspicious of him? I love Travis more than everything in this world, more than myself, but how could I possibly fix things when he started to ruin us? And now, I don’t know what to do. His Parents hated me so much that they couldn’t accept me. I just want my baby to have a Father, isn’t that right? My world was spinning so fast, I don’t hate this baby, I just hated the fact that I didn’t know earli
Chapter 5: Engagement Party Jasmine POV “Engagement party for Mr. Travis and Stacy.” That announcement pierced my heart. I laughed sarcastically, but deep inside, I wanted to cry. They are having fun while I am here suffering. He’s not the Travis that I met before. He changed a lot. I don’t even recognize him anymore. I made my way to get my handbag. I wore only a jacket. I think I’m not into myself right now. My mind and my heart are fighting. I didn’t want to go there, but my body had its own mind, and they were moving, trying to convince me to talk to him, to ask him so many different things, but I knew that he didn’t want to see me or talk to me. I just found myself standing in front of their mansion. I don’t want them to see me, and I know that they will never let me enter. I saw one of the maids, and I knew she recognized me.

She angrily walked towards me, and I was about to leave when she caught me and pulled my hair. “Where do you think you’re going?!” Travis’ mom shouted, which made the guests look at me. The way they looked at me made me embarrassed. They looked at me like I was some kind of poor thing. “I’m leaving now. Please let go of me,” I pleaded, but she only gave me a hard slap. I held my face, feeling the burning sensations. I looked at the stage, and I saw Travis blankly looking at me while Stacy looked at me in confusion and started to walk down towards us. “How dare you come here?! Are you trying to ruin this party?!” she shouted angrily. I wanted to shout at her, too, but I didn’t want to make things worse. That’s why I just turned around. Before I could take my first step, she grabbed my hand again, and for the second time, I received another hard slap. “I’m still talking to you Bitch!” She gritted
