Ditched at Our Seventh Engagement Chapter 9
Florian casually looped his arm through mine.I stiffened, instinctively wanting to keep my distance. Then I relaxed, remembering I was single again.We barely made it out of the company doors when a familiar voice rang out."No wonder you dumped me!" Sawyer yelled. "You've been into Florian this whole time, haven't you?"Like an annoying fly, he just wouldn't go away.Before I could respond, Florian shot back, "Still that spoiled kid? Everyone knows you've been tangled up with Mathilde. Don't be a hypocrite."Having someone stick up for me felt new. No wonder Mathilde always rubbed her victories in my face.I ignored Sawyer and led Florian to the car."This is cheating! I didn't agree to break up!" Sawyer fumed."Let's go," I told the driver.The car drove off, leaving Sawyer in the dust.After that dinner, Florian went back abroad, but we stayed in touch, sharing daily updates.He gave me a sense of security I hadn't felt in ten years. I bet that was what real love felt l

Turning to Sawyer, I added, "For old times' sake, here is one last piece of information, so you don't keep playing the fool and repaying someone who doesn't deserve it."Just then, security swarmed the parking lot. The burly guards easily grabbed the flailing Mathilde."What are you doing? You're making a terrible mistake!" she screamed, revealing her cowardly side, which annoyed even Sawyer.They took her to the outdoor pool and tossed her in."Help! I can't swim!" she gasped, thrashing in the water.Sawyer panicked. "What are you doing? Her fever just broke."I cut him off. "Didn't she get you out of the water?"He froze, realization hitting.If Mathilde couldn't swim, there was no way she could have saved him from that pond.Besides Mathilde, I was the only one there. The answer was plain to see.He had been thanking the wrong person all this time, completely played by Mathilde like a fool.As I turned to leave, he grabbed my arm. "Why didn't you tell me? If you had, we w

"Stop this!" I warned, "or I'll have you thrown out.""Come on. You can't be mad at me forever," Sawyer protested. "I'm here to make things right. Is this about Mathilde? I've told you a million times. She is just a friend. I care about her because she saved my life.""Enough," I cut him off. "I'm done with your excuses. Be with whoever you want. Just leave me alone."I left for the parking lot to avoid office gossip. Sawyer followed, tears welling up in his eyes.Before he could start his pitiful act, Mathilde popped out from behind a car, crying, "Sawyer, how could you leave me alone in the hospital?"For the first time, Sawyer looked annoyed with her.He'd told her that his family needed money. He couldn't afford to lose me, or their funds would dry up. Then his cushy life would be over.But Mathilde was insecure. She wouldn't let Sawyer and me reconnect.To her, everything he said was an excuse.She was determined to latch onto the Pattersons, even if their glory days were

At first, it was just me and Sawyer going to and from school together.One day, Sawyer got the wild idea to fish in the pond behind the school.I wasn't on board. "If we get home late, our parents will chew us out.""Just this once, please," he begged.It was getting dark, and storm clouds were rolling in, so no matter how much he pleaded, I didn't budge.He gave in, ready to leave with me, when Mathilde showed up."Wanna go fishing? I'll go with you," she offered.Excited, Sawyer blinked at me and left with the girl whom he barely knew.I called after him, but he ignored me. Worried for his safety, I followed.It started with a drizzle, and I said nothing, unwilling to spoil his fun. As the rain poured, I urged him to go home.But he was caught up in the moment, thrilled to make friends with Mathilde.Frustrated, I turned to leave when his scream came from behind me. He had slipped on the muddy bank and fallen into the pond.He didn't know how to swim, his life at risk. Ma

Sawyer checked his phone and realized he'd missed Mathilde's calls.She kept knocking, refusing to stop until someone answered."What the hell?" I snapped. "You gave her my address?""Maybe it's an emergency. Let's open the door," Sawyer stammered, opening it without my consent.Mathilde rushed in and hugged him despite my presence."Sawyer, I was worried sick," she said anxiously. "I called you so many times, but you didn't pick up. I thought something had happened to you."They clung to each other, his attention entirely on her. Noticing that she was soaked too, he quickly used his towel to dry her off."Why are you here?" he asked, worried. "You're all wet. What if your fever comes back?"For ten years, no matter how sick I got, even when I was hospitalized with stomach issues, he had never shown me such care.Mathilde smirked at me, her eyes gleaming with smugness.I glared at her, but she pushed further, sliding an arm around Sawyer's waist and brushing his hair flirtati

"Mr. and Mrs. Patterson, I haven't had the chance to tell you, but I've broken up with Sawyer," I said. "We're done."The room fell silent. No one expected me to be the one to end it."What's that supposed to mean?" Linda asked. "Sawyer gave ten years of his youth to you, and you're dumping him?""Ask him," I replied. "He bailed the seven engagement parties all for Mathilde.""Mathilde saved his life," Robert chimed in. "Isn't it only right that he looks out for her?"Like father, like son. They used the same excuse."In that case, let him marry her," I said. "I don't want a husband like that."I stood firm, having the security escort them out. The couple left with anger and humiliation.My actions convinced my parents that I had realized my mistake, and the tension between us eased.But ten years of love wasn't easy to let go of. I declined their offer to move home, wanting to clear my head alone at my apartment.After a shower, I lay in bed and zoned out when a knock came a
