LOGINThe seventh time I planned to register for marriage with Piero Conrad, he didn't show up again. I was about to text him and ask when he would arrive when I stumbled upon his childhood friend's post. [Celebrating the 999th day since marrying my dear, from the past to the future, it's always been you.] The video showed a marriage certificate, with Piero's name listed as the husband. The registration date was May 20, three years ago. I realized that was why he never showed up those seven times. He was already married to someone else.
View MoreI heard about Piero's recent life from other classmates.After that day, he and Vivian had a huge fight.He said he still loved me, wanted to divorce Vivian, and blamed her for keeping him from marrying me.Vivian was furious, blurting out that she never had cancer. It was all a lie to get him to marry her.When she went abroad and learned Piero was with me, she couldn't accept it. Knowing he'd liked her before, she crafted a lie, and it worked.Even that video was posted to make sure I'd see it.In fact, back when they got their marriage certificate, Piero told her to keep it secret from me.Thrilled, Vivian agreed without a second thought, thinking that would push me out of the picture. But three years later, Piero and I were still together.Unable to accept it, she posted the video online and sent me that taunting text to break us up.It worked, and I left Piero.Vivian was relieved, thinking Piero would stick with her forever. But when he heard I was back, he rushed to th
Even if Piero realized his mistake and wanted to divorce Vivian to win me back, I wouldn't go back.And I knew he'd never even consider it.Sure enough, his face twisted with conflict. "I..." "Alright," I cut him off. "No more explanations. I don't want to hear them, and I'm not getting back with you."He panicked, grabbing my hand. "But I only love you. Vivian is just a friend growing up with me.""Is that so? Then why did you kiss her? Is kissing a friend normal for you?" I asked the question I'd held back before.Piero kept claiming that Vivian was just a friend, but her video showed a different story.They took cozy cheek-to-cheek photos, kissed under the Northern Lights, and went on Valentine's Day dates.Those were things that only couples would do.Plus, over three years, Piero stood me up seven times, leaving me waiting alone at City Hall in vain.I couldn't help but wonder if he felt even the tiniest ounce of guilt while I waited eagerly to get the certificate with
Unwilling to give up, Piero tried to reach me through different numbers.Annoyed, I set my phone to reject unknown calls.Finally, some peace.The guesthouse was hiring volunteers, and I signed up to keep myself busy.For months, I only checked in with my parents and close friends, cutting off everyone else. Till an old classmate sent me a wedding invitation, I booked a flight back.At the wedding, tons of old classmates were there, catching up on old times.Someone brought up Piero. "You and Piero were so tight back then. Bet you're close to tying the knot now, huh?""Yeah. The next wedding we're attending might be yours," echoed another."By the way, why are you here alone? Where's Piero?" asked a third person.I'd only told my parents about the breakup, so no one else knew. This was a good chance to set the record straight and avoid misunderstandings."Piero and I broke up months ago," I replied.Right then, a male voice came from behind me. "We didn't break up."I turne
Memories full of lies didn't deserve to exist.I took off the engagement ring I'd worn for three years and left it on the coffee table. Then I dragged my suitcase out and shut the door.When Piero called, I'd just arrived at a guesthouse.Last year, I'd told him I wanted to visit a beautiful place. He had brushed it off, saying he was too busy.The same old excuse!But I didn't want to leave him or travel alone, so the plan got shelved.Now that we were done, I had no more worries. I booked a guesthouse online and flew over.The scenery was just as I'd imagined. Flowers were blooming everywhere, soothing my tired soul.I'd barely set down my bags to go explore when Piero called."Ida, where are you? Why is all your stuff gone? Our photos too?" he asked, his voice tinged with anger."We're done. Remember?" I replied indifferently.A young couple passed by.The girl was chattering with the guy. He held a camera, snapping photos of her bright smile.It reminded me of my first
