Groom Swap at the Wedding

Report
At our wedding ceremony, Rose Lane's assistant, Zachary Zimmer, accidentally projects the wrong photo on the screen. The huge screen initially shows a wedding portrait of Rose and me. But suddenly, it turns into a photo featuring Rose and Zachary in wedding clothes. Both of them held hands with each other while looking into each other's eyes lovingly. It was clear that they looked very happy together. Everyone gasps in shock. Zachary begins sobbing quietly and asks if I can delay the wedding. Rose remains calm and collected as she starts throwing out suggestions to me. "The guests are already here, so it'll be embarrassing for us if we delay the wedding ceremony. Besides, it also spells ill luck for us if we do that. No one recognizes the groom's face anyway. Why don't we let Zachary replace you in this ceremony for now?" All of our friends are stunned, to say the least. They think I'll go ballistic and get incredibly jealous because of Rose's suggestion. Instead, I nod and claim that it's a great idea. Noting my composed manner, Rose smugly declares that we've already registered our marriage, so she promises me that she will hold another wedding for me when she's free enough. But she seems to have forgotten that she's signed a divorce agreement just now.

I was about to say I'd go with the police and handle it myself, but my friend spoke up first."I don't believe Marcus would do something like this. I'll go with him," he said firmly.He paused before adding, just as steady, "But let's be clear on one thing. If this turns out to be a false accusation, how will you make it right? And what about the damage to our company?"Zachary clearly hadn't expected that. The confidence on his face wavered.I didn't want to drag anyone else into this, so I said to my friend, "It's fine. I can handle it myself. You need to protect your company—you don't need to get involved."My friend looked at me, irritation flashing across his face. "Listen to yourself," he snapped. "I was the one who asked you to join me back then. Around here, I'm the one closest to you."It's one thing for others to turn their backs on you—but if I did that too, what would that say about me? We're going together. End of discussion."The officers wasted no time. They moved

Back then, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity. I then sent the money back to Rose, and we quickly got back together.Was she trying to use this as some kind of compensation for me, again?She seemed to have forgotten that for someone who had been hurt, gestures like this never meant anything—they only eased the giver's conscience.Without hesitation, I transferred the money back. Almost immediately, the transfer failed—Rose had closed the account.I was wondering what to do next when a friend messaged me. We ended up chatting for a while, and by the time we were done, it was late. I let it slip from my mind.After the New Year, the company had grown significantly. Yet on the first day back at work, an unexpected incident occurred.As soon as I arrived, I saw a crowd gathered outside the company gates, arguing."What's going on?" I walked over, puzzled.The employees made way for me, and I finally saw a few police officers standing there—Zachary and Rose beside them.Wh

I froze, thinking I must've misheard.After that, I walked toward the stairwell and saw Zachary and Rose, both with dark, stormy expressions.They looked like they'd just had a fight.I was stunned.After all, before my divorce from Rose, whenever they met, they were inseparable—getting along flawlessly."Me, making a scene? Are you serious? If we can't even manage our own lives, how are you going to raise a child?"Rose's face flushed red, her voice sharp but controlled.Zachary sneered, "Are you blaming me for the company's current situation?"A heavy silence fell between them.Rose didn't answer, but I could read the conflict in her eyes. She always tempered her words with him, careful not to hurt him. I knew that look well; if it had been me standing there, the one at fault, I couldn't even imagine her holding back.Zachary wasn't done. He scoffed and said, "Rose, maybe you should start by looking at yourself instead of blaming others. Clearly, you couldn't run the compan

Rose explained that Zachary couldn't go back to his hometown for the New Year and that being alone made him lonely, so she wanted to keep him company.She added that I'd always been on my own and was probably used to the emptiness, that being alone might even suit me better.But she seemed to forget why my life had been so empty in the first place.I scrolled through my phone, bored out of my mind, when my thumb froze. Zachary had posted a picture on Instagram—and tagged me.In the picture, Rose was laughing, hiding her face in Zachary's chest with her hands over her ears. Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the distance.The caption read, "Being abandoned isn't the end. You'll always find someone who makes you happier and more comfortable."The post was clearly meant to get under my skin.I thought about it for a moment before tapping the like button. I then commented, "Must be nice. Unlike me, stuck alone on my new couch in my new apartment."I'd heard that not long ago, Rose's co
