Sorry, but You're Not My Groom
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.
