On the day of my wedding to James Jonas, his best friend, Mia Rodriguez, appeared in front of me, pregnant. She cried with tears in her eyes, “Ames, you have everything. Please, just give James to me. I’m having… his baby…” I ripped off my veil and threw it on the floor. Turning around, I saw James' panicked eyes. Perhaps he remembered our contract: If anything goes wrong with this wedding, his fortune will be mine.

Chapter 1

I’ve known James Jonas for five years. From college sweethearts to walking down the aisle, countless people envied our relationship. "A perfect match, a pair made in heaven, the ideal love story…" I’ve heard these words so many times, but they never meant much to me. I knew James’s heart was with someone else. He’s known Mia Rodriguez for ten years, five years longer than he’s known me. The strange thing was that James and Mia always referred to each other only as best friends. Their bond seemed so pure, untouched by even a hint of romance. They ended up at the same college, in the same major. Yet, for reasons I still don’t understand, James decided to pursue me—a girl from a completely different department. Back then, I had dreamy ideas about college romance. James was handsome, polite, and incredibly charming. So, when he asked me out for the second month in a row, I finally said yes. During the first week, everything felt perfect. It was like the beginning ...

Chapter 2
I originally thought we’d part ways peacefully, going our separate directions and never crossing paths again. Who knew James would refuse to accept the breakup? "Are you out of your mind? I’ve said it a hundred times. Break up, break up, break up! Why do you keep showing up outside my lecture hall every day?!" “And you know what’s worse?” I pointed at Mia, utterly baffled. “Why the heck are you bringing your so-called best friend with you? What? You can’t think for yourself anymore? You need her to make all your decisions?” The words came out in one angry breath without a pause, which said a lot about how furious I was. James scratched his head, putting on his usual innocent guy act. “I… I thought that since you’re both girls, she’d understand your emotions better and could…” From behind him, Mia chimed in, “Yeah, Ames, don’t misunderstand James—” “Ames, my foot!” At the time, I was in the middle of PE class. In a fit of rage, I hurled the basketball in my hands

Chapter 3
Thanks to his dad's overly enthusiastic meddling, James and I got back together.I don’t know what Joe said to James, but Mia started showing up less and less around us. When Valentine’s Day rolled around, James surprised me with a big bouquet of roses. “Thank you!”I smiled shyly, leaning into his arms before planting a soft kiss on his cheek. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Mia standing at a distance, staring at us. Tears rolled down her face. So, she cried when she thought no one was watching? I glanced back at the bouquet of roses in my hands. It was funny. I'd told James before that I didn’t like roses. So who suggested roses in the first place? “Ames, I got us two tickets to the newest sci-fi blockbuster. Want to go see it?” I lowered my gaze and answered softly, “Sure, whatever you want.” James spun me around in excitement, smiling like a fool. “Ames, you’re the best!” When I glanced back to where Mia had been standing, her eyes were red as

It was hard to tell if it was a coincidence or deliberate, but Mia's seat ended up right next to James. With a cheeky grin and her popcorn in hand, she chirped, "Perfect! After the movie, we can grab dinner together." I kept my eyes fixed vaguely ahead. I had no interest in joining their conversation. This movie must’ve been the kind they all liked. By the second half, James and the others were huddled together, whispering enthusiastically. Me? I was so bored I couldn’t stop yawning. Seeing them chatting away happily, I decided to take a quick nap. Who would’ve thought that by the time I woke up, even the credits had finished rolling? As we left the theater, Mia was eagerly discussing the movie’s plot with James. The two of them grew more engrossed in their conversation, gradually drifting farther ahead of the group. That left me trailing behind with James’ buddies. Maybe my silence made everyone think I was upset because they started trying to cheer me up.

Chapter 5
In the private room, the only person I knew well was James. Mia, however, was in her element, rallying the crowd to keep pouring drinks for him. Some of the guys looked a little guilty, sneaking glances my way as they raised their glasses. It wasn’t hard to piece it together. Mia had probably put them up to this. I had to admit she had her ways. Getting this many people to follow her lead wasn’t easy. Then again, they’d all been friends far longer than I’d been in the picture. As the alcohol started to take effect, James suddenly turned to me, his face flushed, and pulled me into a drunken hug and kiss. “Ames, Ames, you’re so beautiful. I like you so much.” Smiling faintly, I placed my hand between his alcohol-scented lips and my face. “My dad likes you, too. He said I have to marry you.” Internally, I scoffed. Joe could keep dreaming. Before James could lean in again, Mia stepped forward, prying him off me. “James, calm down. Look, even Ames is tired

Chapter 6
Since the last encounter, things between James and Mia have become complicated. Even though James still accompanied me to class, his mind was clearly elsewhere. His eyes often wandered to empty spaces, and a conflicted expression lingered on his face. I didn’t think too much about him while I diligently took notes during lectures. What could he possibly be struggling with? Did he trade his IQ for those good looks? Caught between Mia’s subtle pressure and my constant attention, James seemed to buckle under the weight. He even started losing weight at an alarming rate. Oh dear, how heartbroken I was for him! So, naturally, I took it upon myself to restore his health. Every day, I dragged him to the cafeteria for nutritious meals. I piled his tray with chicken, beef, and vegetables, all while wearing a worried expression. “James, are you getting too tired from keeping me company in class? You’ve lost so much weight. Eat more, okay? Otherwise, I’ll feel so bad for y

Joe’s voice turned sharp, tinged with frustration. “What? Amy, are you seriously thinking of breaking up with the brat?” James was at a loss for words. “Ames, aren’t I the love of your life? How could you even think about breaking up with me?” Mia, standing awkwardly to the side, flushed red with embarrassment. “Amy, what are you even talking about? Who are you accusing here?” She pointed a finger at me, her expression twisted as if I’d wronged her beyond reason. Joe didn’t hesitate. He slapped Mia across the face. “Who are you pointing at?!” James darted forward, trying to shield Mia from Joe’s wrath. “Dad! What are you doing? You can’t just hit people!” “Is it because of her? Huh? Tell me, is it because of this woman? Amy is a perfect match for you, and you’re throwing her away for this… this nobody?” Before James could answer, Joe slapped him. With his body weak these days, the slap knocked him to the floor.I stood back, witnessing Joe’s violent ou

Chapter 8
Ever since I complained about James to Joe, my relationship with James hit rock bottom. Joe, ever the meddler, started showing up at my house more and more. “Hey, Amy, all by yourself?” Joe had shed his aggressive, mall rampaging persona, replacing it with a polished, gentlemanly facade. It was hard to believe this was the same man who slapped his son to the ground in public. “Yeah, my parents are off traveling. I mostly stay at school, so this house is pretty much empty except for when I drop by.” Joe’s enthusiasm dimmed a little when he realized my mom wasn’t around. “Well, Amy, don’t you worry. That punk of a son of mine and that… that girl…” He trailed off, looking at me in confusion. I dabbed at the corners of my eyes, where no real tears existed, and softly reminded him, “Mia.” “Yes, Mia! That’s right. Anyway, I’m here to tell you that there’s no way James and Mia will ever work out. I won’t let that conniving woman set foot in my house.” “Joe, maybe

Chapter 9
I had hired the best private investigator, Chris Barnes, to follow Mia, who delivered plenty of photos. Mia accepting a check from Joe. Mia boarding a plane to leave the country. James frantically searching for Mia. Photo after photo confirmed that everything was unfolding just as I had planned. I was still James’s girlfriend while Mia, now far away, had become the one that got away. Soon, our engagement ceremony arrived. My dad came to the event, but my mom didn’t. I had asked her not to attend. The union of the two most prominent families in Alberia dominated the society pages, plastered across full spreads in the newspapers. In public, I continued to play the role of James’ devoted fiancée, head-over-heels in love with him. Four years flew by. After we graduated, both James and I joined our respective family businesses. Perhaps time really did heal all wounds, or at least dims them. Mia, once the glowing light in James’ heart, had started to fade i

Chapter 10
I made sure Mia, now living abroad, heard about my upcoming wedding to James. Along with the news, I let it slip how James still saw her as the unattainable dream he couldn’t forget. As expected, she couldn’t take it. Mia came back. The moment James found out, he rushed to the airport to meet her. My top-tier private investigator, Chris, was back on the job, shadowing them closely. It had been three years since they’d last seen each other, and Mia had transformed. Her long, silky black hair framed her face, and her floral maxi dress gave her a radiant, reborn aura. James was awestruck, genuinely captivated by the elegant woman standing before him. “Mia, you look so beautiful with long hair.” Mia blushed, leaning shyly into his embrace. “James, I’ve been dreaming of the day we’d finally be together. I worked so hard, studying and improving myself, thinking that maybe one day, I’d be worthy of standing by your side.” Her eyes sparkled with hope. She was despe
