Chapter 1
1/4
At the engagement party, my fiancé ditched me and ran off with his childhood sweetheart.
Later, his best friend came to see me.
“How about a new groom? Dare to marry me instead?” he asked
- me.
I ended up getting my marriage certificate with Ethan Clarke.
Samuel North was furious. “Selina Shaw, how dare you do this?”
Ethan hugged my waist and chuckled, “I proposed it. What’s wrong?”

At the engagement party, Samuel’s childhood friend suddenly fainted.
He was all worried. “I’ll take Lily to the hospital.”
In front of everyone, he picked up Lily Green and left the hall.
I dragged my dress and chased them to the door. “Samuel, can you ask a friend to take Lily to the hospital? If you leave now, what am I supposed to do?”

Samuel glared at me, disgusted. “Selina, you’re so selfish. You only care about yourself when Lily’s like this.”
Then he drove off without looking back.
Because of my fiance’s exit, the engagement party was a disaster.
I became the biggest joke of the night.
Later that evening, I checked Lily’s posts.
It said, “It was just low blood sugar. Thanks to his help. He took such good care of me.”
The photo was a selfie of her leaning on Samuel’s shoulder.
I waited on the couch the whole night.
By morning, Samuel finally came back, looking exhausted.
He stared at the empty dining table, annoyed. “It’s so late. Where’s breakfast?”

I looked at him and calmly said, “I thought you’d already eaten with Lily.”
Samuel frowned. “Lily was not feeling well, so of course I was looking after her. Why do you have to be so sarcastic?
“I’ve already promised to marry you. Can you just be reasonable? Stop acting like a jealous mess. It’s making me tired.”

I only said one thing, and Samuel lost his temper.

He snapped, “Selina, if you keep being paranoid and making a scene, we’re done.”
He was all over me like I’d done something unforgivable.
We’d been together for three years, and every time we fought, I always ended up apologizing first.
But this time, I didn’t feel the usual pain or reluctance.
I looked at him and muttered, “Let’s break up.”
Samuel froze. “Say that again?”
I repeated slowly, “I said, let’s break up.”
He laughed in disbelief, his voice full of mockery, “Selina, remember what you’re saying right now. Don’t come crawling back to me begging for forgiveness in a couple of days.”
That was how he saw me–someone begging for his attention.
I’d fallen for Samuel at first sight and chased him for a whole year until he accepted me.
All his friends knew I couldn’t live without him.
They also knew that he didn’t love me as much as I loved him.

4/4
I didn’t care. Even though he was always cold to me, I naively believed that one day, he would be touched.
That was until Lily came back from abroad. That’s when I realized Samuel could be gentle and considerate to someone.
He ignored me, who was waiting in the rain, just to give Lily an umbrella.
He forgot that I didn’t eat onions but remembered that Lily liked her coffee with no sugar.
He forgot our anniversary but remembered the promise he made to Lily when they were kids.
He threw the birthday gift I made for him in the trash but showed off the tie Lily picked for him.
My best friend had once told me, “You won’t stop until you hit rock bottom.”
Now, I finally hit the rock and felt the pain.
