All Chapters of Having My Pick of Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

With the wedding approaching, Logan Bradshaw's childhood friends threw him a bachelor party.Everyone in Logan's close circle knew how much he adored me. If he didn't bring me along, he'd undoubtedly rush home before 10:00 pm, regardless of whether the others enjoyed themselves.So this time, they warmly invited me as well.However, the moment I stepped inside, I sensed something was off.Everyone greeted me enthusiastically, yet I caught them subtly exchanging glances with Logan. I had no idea what was going on.Once everyone was seated, a short-haired woman arrived fashionably late."Sorry, I'm late! Traffic was terrible!"She was tall and slender, and her voice was crisp and confident.Beside me, Logan instantly tensed up. For the first time in my life, I saw what it looked like when someone's heart skipped a beat.The woman beamed at me and extended her hand."You must be the bride-to-be. Nice to meet you! I'm Leah Powell."The second I heard her name, everything clicked

By now, Logan had sobered up. He rubbed his temples and stood."Tara's tired. I should take her home."Josie sneered. "I'm already here. You can just keep playing dead."The crowd awkwardly stood by, watching as Josie started packing up my things while muttering under her breath."I told you ages ago. With your looks and personality, you should've married into old money and enjoyed life. But no, you had to go suffer in a nouveau riche family. That kind of social circle is full of backstabbing and fake smiles. Someone as innocent as you doesn't belong in a place like that."Logan's family had a net worth in the high nine figures. To call them a nouveau riche family was a rare insult. But when it came from her, no one dared to refute it.Josie finished packing and grabbed my bag. Seeing the elegantly wrapped perfume bottle inside, she didn't even bother asking. She merely took it out and tossed it onto the floor."What kind of outdated garbage is this? Who thought it was a decent

"Come on. Let's check if they accidentally removed your brain the last time you were hospitalized."Josie's protests echoed down the hallway."My brain is just fine! Simon, let me explain. Having a stepmom has three major benefits! First, if Dad gets married, he'll stop nagging us about settling down."Second, I'll get her to sweet-talk Dad into passing the company down to me. That way, you can keep being a doctor, and I'll finally become the chairwoman. Everyone wins!"Third, she's young, gorgeous, and curvy. If everything goes well, we'll have a baby brother by next year. The family legacy will be secured, and you won't even have to lift a finger!"Isn’t it perfect—ow! Why'd you pinch me?! That hurts!"…As we left the hospital, a familiar car flashed past. I turned my head to look."Was that Logan?"Josie remained unfazed. "No, you're seeing things. He's probably busy whispering sweet nothings to his first love in the bed. Why would he have time for you?"I considered myse

Simon drove to work with his usual icy expression.To kill time and ease the awkward silence, I started scrolling my social media feed. And that was when my world collapsed.Last night, the aloof Simon posted an update. "Today, we added an extra set of cutlery at home."Besides a cute emoji, attached was a close-up shot of a massive plate of pasta—my plate of pasta. My right hand which was holding the spoon was also in the frame.Even though the image quality wasn't great, anyone could tell the plate was filled to the brim.I had a big appetite, but since it was my first time eating at their house, I felt too embarrassed to ask for a second serving. So, I pressed the pasta down to fit more in.At this moment, I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself in it.Moreover, the comments section was worse.Among our mutual friends, Leah commented almost instantly after the photo was posted. "Who on earth is that? I need answers right now!"Logan, who must have recognized my bracelet,

"That night, Logan must've crushed you with his answer, huh? You should understand now that you and I are different. He's been chasing me for five years, and still, he couldn't have me."But you just threw yourself at him. The way he sees us is very different. First love is the most unforgettable. Even if you two are married, I'll always be embedded in his heart."Leah's words were sharp, each one striking close to the heart. But I was beyond caring.Seeing that I wasn't reacting, she lowered her voice and continued, "And you know what? After you left that night, he took me home and stayed over at my place. While you were tossing and turning in bed, he was right next to me, sleeping soundly. That's the man you've loved for three years.""Speaking of which," she added, "Although I caused you some pain, you should thank me, right? I've shown you exactly what kind of man he is."I furrowed my brow, and my expression grew solemn.Leah smiled smugly. "Weren't you so calm just now? Wha
