Heart Toward the Sky

The barrage exploded.[How could you be so heartless? Owen is probably drowning his sorrows at a bar.][Ugh, Owen is just too proud and stubborn, and now he's lost his fiancée.][It's okay. He will just bankrupt your family. Then you'll have no choice but to beg him.][Soon enough, you'll be fighting with other women out of jealousy, and he will be living it up.]I stared at the comments, sneering with frustration. I looked away, only to lock eyes with my fiancé, Owen Lockhart.He raised an eyebrow, letting the woman continue to cling to his arm without a hint of guilt. He noticed my sour expression, and his lips curled into a smug smile.The mistress he kept was a small-time internet celebrity. Together, they made a handsome couple, attracting the attention of passersby, who eagerly took photos of them.The café where I was sitting had large glass windows. I couldn't help but wonder if they caught my sour expression on camera.I cursed under my breath, grabbed my bag, and cal

All the comments were in defense of Robin.[This woman is just jealous of Robin, trying to seduce her boyfriend.][Didn't you see how that guy snapped at her? And look how he dotes on Robin.][She's still hanging around them, even after they left. Pretending to be lovesick.][I can't stand vixens like that! Go to hell! Stay away from Robin's boyfriend!]So, they thought that my fiancé was someone else's boyfriend.I shrank into the backseat, staring into nothing.The topic remained on the trending list, even gaining momentum. Without doubt, it was orchestrated by Owen.Now I was skeptical about his love for me. If he really loved me, would he have allowed people to recklessly distort the truth and attack me?I closed my eyes, the pain too much to bear. After a while, I made a call, my voice hoarse. "Get the trending topic taken down, now."The barrage of comments surged again.[I feel sorry for you, Chloe. It's unbearable. If only you'd softened up a bit, things wouldn't hav

Suddenly, a commotion broke out not far away. We looked over, and there was Owen, dressed in a silver-gray suit. He looked relaxed with a faint smile on his face. His arm was linked with Robin's, and she was smiling proudly.I thought when Owen said he'd be accompanying Robin, it was just to go shopping or something. Turned out, he was accompanying her to this banquet.My eyes fell on Robin's dress. It was a fishtail gown, the same one as I had ordered.When I placed the order, I was told it was the only one of its kind in the country. So, how did Robin have one? Shipped overnight from abroad?Owen was clearly trying to make me uncomfortable. Sure enough, as soon as Robin saw me, her smile vanished. She bit her lip and whispered something to Owen, who then turned to look at me.In high heels, Robin strutted over and glared at me. "Did you send someone to find out what dress Owen bought for me, just so you could copy it?"At her voice, the guests in the hall began to gather arou

The comments flashed across my mind.[Owen is secretly enjoying this. Finally, he's seen you jealous and crying from feeling wronged.][The friend who came up with this plan should be rewarded. Now, you can only stay in front of him, constantly insecure and playing the role of the delicate fiancée.][Robin must be crying somewhere.][Owen must be thanking her for successfully getting you jealous. This is thrilling!]"Why did you follow me?" I asked softly. "I have someone I like abroad."Owen stiffened, then carefully brushed my disheveled hair behind my ear. "Did you lie to make me jealous?"His tone was firm, but I muttered under my breath, "Not everyone is like you."I pushed him away. "When we get there, I'll introduce you to him."Owen ground his teeth, staring at my blank expression. Then he laughed coldly, "I don't like you lying like this."He grabbed my chin and continued, "Pretending to have someone you like, trying to make me angry? Don't even think about liking an

I wondered if Owen had sent Lorne over to spy on me.Just then, the barrage of comments popped up, interrupting my thoughts.[So, this stranger is Owen's cousin? Wait, he wasn't in the original plot.][Owen is so conflicted. He wants Lorne to keep an eye on you, but he's afraid you might really get close to Lorne.][Owen was seriously mad last night. Even though he knew it was his cousin, he was still so angry. The moment he saw a guy near you, it broke him.][Don't worry. You'll be back with him soon. Lorne is going to spike your milk, and Owen will swoop in to save you. You'll fall for him hard.]I blinked, confused.Just then, there was a knock on the door. I opened it, and there stood Loren, grinning."Good morning, Chloe." He shook a bag in his hand. "I figured you might not like the breakfast here, so I brought you some homemade food."I took the bag from him with a smile. "Thank you."I stepped aside to let him in and had him sit down. I had already given his number to
