He Changed His Bride To His Crush

Cyrus avoided my eyes.I felt a cold ache in my chest, like a chill was sinking into my bones.“Cyrus, what about me?” I asked with teary eyes.“She gets to have her wish at my wedding, but what about everything I planned? Does it mean nothing now?”I spent more than two weeks planning everything for the wedding. I even wrote the invitations by hand and barely slept. Just last night, I stayed up with Cyrus talking about how perfect today would be.I thought I would be the happiest bride. I thought our seven years together meant something.But none of it seemed to matter anymore.I waited for his answer.Cyrus sounded annoyed. “You’re being unreasonable. We still have a future together. She’s dying. What’s wrong with letting her have this?”I knew Cyrus. He was always calm and polite.This was the first time he had raised his voice at me in seven years, and it was for another woman.“I’m sorry.” Cyrus grabbed his hair in frustration.“The wedding’s about to start. I’ll mak

The breakfast Cyrus had made was still on the table.I had not had the time to eat it. I was in a rush for the wedding.Next to it was the pot he had bought just for me when I had bad period cramps.He used to spend hours making soup in it to help me feel better.All the nice things he had done for me over the years came flooding back to my mind.When his family’s business failed and Yara broke off their engagement to go overseas,I was the one who stayed.I started liking him because he had loved her so deeply.I chased after him for three years. Just before graduation, he finally agreed to be with me.I was so happy that I treated the whole class to dinner. I thought he had let go of Yara.Everyone congratulated me and even told me that this was proof that love paid off in the end.After we got together, he did treat me well.He remembered everything I liked and accepted all my flaws.Once, during a busy time at work, I casually said I wanted to eat crab in the fall.He

Cyrus was about to say something, but Jason walked over and stood between us. His usually playful eyes were icy.“Mr. Lloyd, bothering my employee isn’t exactly professional. Or… is it that you realize C&R can’t run without Ruby and are trying to get her back?”His familiar tone made me slightly uncomfortable.Cyrus’s face changed.He looked at both of us but did not say a word. Then, he turned and walked away.For the rest of the event, Jason stayed by my side.Cyrus, on the other hand, acted like he was handing me business on purpose. He gave all the potential deals to me instead of keeping them for himself.His eyes looked sad every time he passed me by.He knew I always went weak at that look.But he had locked the old me, who cared for him, in the dressing room.After the event, I felt frustrated.In the car, Jason closed the door, leaned on one hand, and sighed.“Ms. Jagger, I’m not as good at pretending to be sad as some people. What should I do?”I looked up and sa

After we walked out of the hotel, I could not fake a smile anymore.“Mr. Sullivan, thank you,” I said softly.I knew Jason could hold his liquor. He was just pretending to be drunk.Jason walked quietly beside me. He stood straight and showed no sign of being drunk.“Actually, I wasn’t lying.”“Huh?” I looked at him.Under the night sky, he seemed unusually calm. It was unlike his usual playful self. He looked a little sad, like someone who did not belong in this world.“I really liked you for ten years.”That completely shocked me. I tried to remember someone named Jason Sullivan from my past, but nothing came to mind.“I figured you wouldn’t remember. You were too busy making the club president drink, then you got yourself drunk, threw up all over me, and told me you’d marry me to make up for it. The next day, you forgot everything.”Jason looked at me with a bitter expression, and suddenly, that awkward old memory came flooding back.When I first started college, I was

Cyrus came looking for me again three days later.After what happened, I blocked his number.My parents did not want to see him either.So, he had no choice but to wait for me outside my office.“That day really was just a mistake,” he said quickly.“Cyrus, how many times are you going to say that?” I asked and looked at Yara standing next to him.In just three days, she had taken my old job as his assistant.He opened his mouth but could not say anything.Ever since Yara came back, he had been making a lot of “mistakes.”“We’re not kids anymore. It’s over between us. Focus on your company instead.”I turned to leave, but Cyrus suddenly tried to grab me.Before he could, someone stopped him.Jason stepped in, pulled me close, and said, “Mr. Lloyd, seriously? Trying to steal someone right outside my company?“Maybe you should focus on holding your assistant’s hand instead of harassing my girlfriend.”He said it loud and clear.Cyrus’s face turned pale.I leaned over and
