Chapter 5

작가: Hare
I called Shane back, and he answered very quickly. "Rachel, what on earth are you up to? Your parents came to our engagement dinner and said they wanted to call off our engagement. Can you stop being so unreasonable?"

My voice stayed perfectly calm. "Shane, I told you a month ago that I wanted to call off our engagement. You need to stop clinging to your one-sided feelings."

I had to stop clinging to my one-sided feelings too.

Shane clearly didn't accept that. "You say it's over, and that's i

  • He Saved His Vows for Another Woman   Chapter 10

    I did not respond. My gaze fell to my hand holding the phone. I glanced at the diamond ring on my finger.Just then, I received a text from an unfamiliar number. "Rachel, it's me, Shane. Can you come out and see me? I'm downstairs at your place." I walked to the window and looked down. Shane stood beneath the street lamp, holding a bouquet of red roses and looking up at my window. I put on my coat before heading downstairs. When Shane saw me step outside, his eyes lit up instantly. He strode over quickly and handed me the flowers. "Rachel, you're finally willing to see me."I didn't accept the flowers, but he didn't seem to mind and went on talking. "Amelia's issue has been fully resolved. "She's already divorced and moved to another city. She won't come looking for me again. I already made it clear to her that we should go our own separate ways."Shane looked at me. His eyes were filled with hope. "Rachel, nothing's holding me back now. I can finally be with you. Let's st

  • He Saved His Vows for Another Woman   Chapter 9

    I said nothing. Shane's eyes turned red, and tears suddenly started streaming down his face. "Seven years, Rachel. We've been together for seven years, and you're going on a blind date just like that? How could… How could you just move on…"I stared at his tears, but they stirred nothing within me. "Shane, what are you crying for? You should be happy. "Amelia has nowhere else to go. It's the perfect time for you to take care of her. Haven't you always wanted to be her hero? No one's standing in your way now."Shane was practically roaring. "I don't want to be some hero! I want you! Rachel, I choose you. You've always been my choice!"However, I went around him and kept walking. …My blind date's name was Jasper Baker. He was the definition of a finance guy. When we were hitting it off, I said with a smile, "Back in college, I minored in finance for a while, but I dropped it because it was too hard. The only thing I remember is the term 'sunk cost.'"Jasper chuckled. "The

    The living room fell silent. No one uttered a word. I lowered my gaze to check the time on my phone before turning to leave the living room. I took a dress I had already ironed out of the wardrobe and put it on.When I stepped out, Shane was still standing in the middle of the living room. Seeing that I had changed, he instinctively stepped forward and grabbed my wrist. "Where are you going?"I looked down at his hand, but didn't move it away. I merely calmly said, "I'm going on a blind date."Teresa looked up instantly. Her face was still wet with tears. "Rachel… What did you just say? You… How could you…"Shane froze. I took advantage of his distraction, pulled my hand free, and turned to walk out of the door. By the time I reached downstairs, Shane had already caught up to me. He blocked my way, staring at me with reddened eyes. "Who are you going on a blind date with? Rachel, we're not even officially over yet. Now you're going on a blind date?"I looked up to meet his g

  • He Saved His Vows for Another Woman   Chapter 7

    Shane's expression shifted. Dad took a deep breath. "I'll tell you what you should've done! The right thing to do was to call the police, reach out to a women's rights organization, and contact a lawyer. "You shouldn't have brought her into the home you share with Rachel! You should've protected Rachel's feelings, not pushed her into backing down until she can't even stand living in her own house!"Shane still tried to explain himself. "Mr. Towne, I…"Dad slapped Shane too, this time harder than Marcus had. The slap sent Shane staggering to the side. The living room was so quiet that it was unsettling.Mom walked past me and stopped in front of Shane. "Shane, I have a question for you."Shane looked up at her. Blood stained the corner of his lips.Mom continued, "Are you helping Amelia because she really needs help, or because you can't bear to let her go?"Shane froze. Mom smiled, but it was filled with sorrow. She felt sorry for me, not him."You've been with my daught

    Still holding his phone, Shane suddenly looked up at me. I shrugged. "I sold my own house. Is there a problem?"Shane's face instantly flushed. After telling Amelia not to worry, he ended the call."Rachel, that was our home! How could you sell it?"I met Shane's gaze. "Shane, our engagement is already off. Since we're no longer together, I sold our home. That makes perfect sense, doesn't it? What do you think?"The evidence spoke for itself. Teresa could no longer make excuses for Shane. Marcus was livid. "Shane, explain yourself! Who was the woman on the phone? Why is she living in your and Rachel's house?"Teresa became anxious as well and tugged at Shane's clothes. "Shane, say something! What on earth did you do?"Marcus and Teresa kept interrogating Shane, but he gave no reply and turned to look at me instead. "Rachel, could you not sell the house for now? If you do, Amelia will have nowhere to go."Before I could even say a word, Marcus rushed forward and slapped Shane

We've been together for seven years. You think you can just…"I cut him off. "Enough. Shane, we were together for seven years, and for all seven of them, you were waiting for someone else. "You can't use those seven years as leverage. They were just a waste of my time. That's all I have to say. Don't call me again." With that, I ended the call.Not long after, my parents came home. They didn't even bring up canceling my engagement, and I knew it was because they didn't want to trigger me.
