I’m going to marry you, but I don’t have a home anymore. Will you take me home with you?”She clung to Richard and refused to let go, so he could only turn to Jeffrey.“Call the community office and the police. Let them handle this.”Before the call could even go through, Hayley suddenly burst into laughter and ran off.“No, don’t call anyone to take me away! I’m a good girl. If you don’t want to see me right now, I’ll come back tomorrow!”The pedestrians frowned and pointed at her as they whispered among themselves.“I heard she was the victim in that case tw

    Third-Person POVHayley lay in the ICU, her hazy mind drifting back to the day of her wedding.“Hayley, I’m dropping you off here.”With that, Wade pulled the driver of his wedding car out, then sped away with his groomsmen, leaving nothing but a trail of dust behind.Those words had made Hayley’s heart clench with panic.She hurried out of the car and shouted after him, “Wade, I don’t want to get married anymore. Take me with you. I’ll marry you!”She could only hear the engine’s deafening roar.She turned to get her phone from the wedding car so she could call him, only to find an overweight man blocking her path.“Bruce, get out of my way.”Bruce Yeager was her fiance and the groom-to-be, a man who had suddenly struck it rich after his family profited from a major redevelopment buyout.He grabbed her slender wrist, the flesh on his face trembling with anger.“What did you just say?

    The next day, Jeffrey and I went to the courthouse to make our marriage official.Messages kept pouring into my phone, so I opened them.[Mila, please come and see Wade. He’s been unconscious ever since his surgery.][Mila, Wade keeps calling your name. Please come and see him.][Wade got into that accident because of you, Mila! Don’t you have any conscience? Can’t you at least see him once?]The messages were from Wade’s friends. Some begged me, some blamed me, and others cursed me. But I no longer cared about any of it.I removed my SIM card and went to a phone store to cancel the number.Jeffrey held my hand without saying a word.On our way home, we spotted Hayley still wearing the wedding gown from the previous day. She was filthy from head to toe, and even the bandage around her ankle was caked in mud.As our car drew closer, I got a full view of her.All the diamond jewelry she had been wearing was gone, and even her earrings were missing, leaving nothing but two blo

    Roses bloomed in abundance on both sides of the red carpet as Jeffrey held my hand and walked with me toward the altar.“Mila, I had to put everything together rather quickly today. I’m sorry you had to settle for less.”I shook my head so hard it nearly rattled.“This is already wonderful. I could tell how much thought you put into it.”There were not many guests, just Jeffrey’s closest and most trusted friends.As they watched us with warm smiles, Jeffrey dropped to one knee and held out a rare pink diamond ring.“Mila, we’ve known each other since we were kids. After all the twists and turns of the past ten years, I finally get to be with you.“Back then, I wanted to be the big brother you could rely on, your safe haven, and the person you could always come back to.“Now, will you give me the chance to take on a new role and spend the rest of my life taking care of you?”I nodded, tears welling in my eyes.Once the ring was on my finger, Jeffrey swept me into his arms and

    Mila's POVWade’s hands tightened around the steering wheel, his foot nearly flooring the gas pedal.He had seen me get into Jeffrey’s wedding car, carrying the train of my white wedding gown.As the convertible sped down the road, I removed the gold and silver accessories from my hair and ears, one piece at a time.“Mila, throw all that old stuff away. I bought you new jewelry.”Chloe and Ava pulled a small case from the back seat.The moment they opened it, the diamonds nearly blinded us.“Mila, it’s a complete diamond set!”“Jeffrey, you really know how to spend!”“Mila, with such a handsome guy in front of you, how did you spend all these years clinging to that piece of garbage?”Before I could lift a finger, Chloe and Ava tossed my old accessories onto the road.After changing into my new look, I admired my reflection in the mirror. My makeup and outfit complemented the convertible perfectly, and happiness bubbled inside me.Jeffrey kept his eyes on the road, but his p

    I brushed past them, leaving Wade and the groomsmen standing there dumbfounded.“What does she mean?”“She’s really leaving?”Wade stared at my retreating figure, then hurried after me and grabbed my hand. His voice held a barely perceptible note of panic.“Mila, what’s this supposed to mean?”“We’re breaking up. Exactly what I said.”“Could you stop? Can’t you see everyone’s waiting for you?”I looked back at the twenty-four wedding cars. Not a single person there was waiting for me.“They’re waiting for you to finish backing up for your childhood sweetheart, pave her way with rose petals, and then see her off.”Wade clenched his jaw, his guilt leaving him speechless.When I pulled my hand free and continued walking, he flew into a rage.“Mila Stephenson, if you walk away today, you can forget about ever coming back to me!
