Mag-log inMy boyfriend and his godsister were caught by the vice squad at a scandalous party. When I went to the police station to bail him out, he was disheveled, his exposed skin marked with dried candle wax and whiplash scars. His godsister, Sonia, clung to him, sobbing into his arms. “The light in Sonia’s house was broken. It was too dark, so I went to accompany her,” he said. I couldn’t help but wonder, Did he accompany her all the way to the police station too? In the past, I would’ve demanded an explanation, but I was too tired now—too drained to argue. Without a word, I signed the papers. The vice squad officer looked at me and asked, “Are you Anthony Leeman’s family?” I shook my head. “No, I’m not familiar with him. Just a colleague.” Lowering my gaze, I typed out a message to my father: [I agree to get married. Give me three days, and I’ll marry him.]

Both his hands were drenched in it, and his eyes reddened as he looked at me. “Celine, I’m in pain…”I froze, suddenly in a trance, remembering a time years ago when he cut his finger while insisting on cooking for me. Back then, he had looked at me with the same pitiful expression. But this time, I didn’t reach out to hold his hand or bandage his wounds. I wasn’t that person anymore.I hurried to Hugo, checking him over for injuries. Thankfully, he only had a few minor scratches.The scene around us descended into chaos as someone called for an ambulance. Anthony’s eyes were filled with longing, but I didn’t even glance at him again. He was soon taken away.Despite the disruption, the wedding continued and managed to maintain order until the end.After that day, I didn’t see Anthony again for a long time.I heard rumors that the head of the Leeman family had locked him up. Th
I never expected Sonia to barge into my house. The housekeepers stopped her, but her face was pale and full of desperation.“Celine, please,” she pleaded, her voice trembling. “Don’t let Tony leave me.”I glanced at my phone; I had only five minutes before I needed to leave.Before I could respond, Sonia’s demeanor shifted. Something I said—or didn’t say—must have touched a nerve. Her eyes darkened with fury, and she began to scream, her voice trembling with both laughter and sobs.“B*tch! It’s because of you that Tony doesn’t want me! He loves me! He’s mine! Why do you want to steal my man? My father’s dead. I have nothing left. Can’t you spare me?”Her words spilled out in a chaotic mix of rage and despair, her emotions spiraling out of control.I met her gaze coldly. “Your father deserved to die.”The room fell silent. Sonia froze, her body trembling as if I had struck her. Slowly, something seemed to click in her mind.I continued, “Your father stole something I was going t
There was still so much to do before the wedding.Hugo, ever considerate, put aside his responsibilities at the company to accompany me. I couldn’t refuse his insistence and eventually relented.As we walked past a luxury jewelry store, an attentive store assistant ushered us inside.The store was dazzling, its displays reflecting brilliant glimmers of light. Rows of fine jewelry sparkled behind the glass cases; each piece more exquisite than the last.Under the assistant’s guidance, I moved from display to display, examining each item. When we reached the gemstone counter, my gaze lingered on a particular necklace. Hugo noticed and immediately offered to buy it, but I shook my head and declined.Suddenly uninterested, I turned to leave. Just as I took a step, a familiar voice called out from behind.“Celine!”I turned around and saw Anthony, holding a gemstone necklace. His hands trembled slightly, and he seemed uncharacteristically clumsy. “Do you remember this necklace?” he a
I had started a relationship with Anthony because of a promise. If I could go back and start over, I’d stay as far away from him as possible.When I first left home, Anthony’s mother was my landlord. She was kind to me, treating me with care and looking out for me in every way. It was through her that I met Anthony. Back then, we barely interacted.When Anthony’s mother was diagnosed with cancer, she entrusted him to me on her deathbed. She begged me to look after him, and I promised. Over time, that promise pulled me into Anthony’s life.We had known each other for ten years and been together for seven.Now, stuck in this quagmire, I realized I had fulfilled that promise and repaid the kindness I owed her.“Celine, what are you thinking about? You should go out.”My family hosted a banquet to celebrate my upcoming wedding with the Young family.
