登入I have a possessive boyfriend. After seven years together, Jared Jackman's favorite thing to say is, "Do you know how cute my girlfriend is? If you do, you're in trouble." "Babe, you're so beautiful. Whoever sees you will fall for you. If someone looks at you for even a second longer, I'll get jealous." That's why he never lets me step into his world. Until one day, I use an alternate account and stumble upon his social media. Three years, and over 600 posts. Every single one is about his moments with another woman. They stroll through Pilton Palace, make wishes atop snowy mountains, and kiss on the streets of Sidwell City. His latest post shows him kissing that woman on the beach while their friends cheer and shout around them. The caption reads, "Loving someone means you can't help but show them off to the world." My fingers tremble as I quietly close the page and book a flight to Northram. It turns out that after seven years of love, letting go only takes a moment.
查看更多A month later, the finances tied up in my joint account with Jared were finally settled. He transferred my exact half back to me, along with a significant extra amount he labeled as compensation. I didn't want a single penny of it, so I wired the extra funds right back to his account. Compensation meant that a debt could still be measured, calculated, and paid off. But the seven years that I had lost could never be bought back by any amount of money. Zoe came to see me too.She stood downstairs holding the cake I used to love. Her eyes were swollen from crying."Tasha, I know I messed up," she choked out. The wind was biting that day. Looking at her, my mind suddenly flashed back to a scorching summer afternoon during high school. We had squeezed together by the cramped little snack stand near the school gates, sharing a popsicle.We had laughed as we promised that whoever got married first, the other would be her maid of honor. Those feelings had been real, but so was the
The next morning, I made a post on my social media.For the first time in seven years, I typed out Jared's full name. I didn't complain or insult him. I simply laid out the timeline with cold, surgical precision. I shared about his confession in college, our seven-year relationship, and us living together. I also talked about our joint bank account, him meeting my parents, and his promise to marry me.I also told them that he had started dating Yvette three years ago and made their relationship public on social media. He had introduced her to his friends and mother, and flaunted her to everyone while telling me he was "away on business" or "waiting for the right time". Finally, I attached the video from that night at the hotel. In it, Jared said, "I'll marry you, but I'll have a wedding with her too."After hitting upload, I turned off my phone and went grocery shopping with Mom. She held my hand the whole way, just like she did when I was little, and she was terrified I would
Jared didn't leave right away. He stayed downstairs until noon, sending me a relentless barrage of messages from right outside of my front door. He told me he had already deleted all of Yvette's contact information.He promised me he would make up for all the years he had kept me hidden.He said if I was willing to forgive him, he would do whatever it took to win over everyone in my life.I didn't reply to any of his messages.That afternoon, Zoe called me again. This time, she no longer sounded as confident as she did that night. Instead, she sounded exhausted."Tasha, do you really have to take things this far?" she asked.I was sitting by the window, holding the cup of warm water Mom had given me. "What exactly did I do?" I asked calmly. "Jared flew back overnight because of you. Yvette's crying so hard she's having a breakdown. She genuinely didn't know you and Jared were still together. She's a victim in this too!" Zoe said."So?"There was a brief silence on the other
The next morning, I was jolted awake by the commotion downstairs.Mom was speaking quietly outside the front door, her voice colder than usual. "Tasha doesn't want to see you. Leave, now."I felt my chest tighten. I put on a coat and walked to the window.Jared was standing downstairs, still wearing the shirt from that night. It was horribly wrinkled. The moment he looked up and caught sight of me, his eyes lit up instantly. It was as if he had found his last lifeline."Babe, please come down and talk to me," he pleaded.I stayed right where I stood.He stared up at me, his voice painfully hoarse. "I took the earliest flight here. I didn't even bring my luggage. Tasha, I know I messed up. Please don't leave me."There was a time when I absolutely hated seeing him look like this. Whenever he called me "babe" with red-rimmed eyes, I would always give in. I would think about how hard those seven years had been and completely bury all the hurt I had endured. But now, looking down
