Too silent. Lina’s fingers trembled as she held her bouquet, her eyes fixed on the empty entrance. “He’ll come,” someone whispered behind her. But deep down, she already knew the truth. He wasn’t coming. Five minutes passed. Then ten. Then the whispers started growing louder. “Did the groom run away?” “How embarrassing…” Her chest tightened, and suddenly, breathing felt like a punishment. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. Instead, it was turning into a nightmare. Just as she was about to step down from the altar, the church doors burst open. Relief flooded her chest. He came. But the moment she saw him… her world shattered. He wasn’t alone. Her fiancé walked in, holding another woman’s hand. A woman in a tight red dress… smiling like she had just won. “I’m sorry, Lina,” he said casually, not even meeting her eyes. “I can’t marry you.” The bouquet slipped from her hands. “What…?” her voice came out as a whisper. “I’m in love with her,” he continued, squeezing the other woman’s hand. “This wedding is off.” Gasps filled the church. Lina stood frozen. Humiliated. Broken. Destroyed. The guests stared at her like she was a joke. Her own relatives looked away in shame. “Say something!” her aunt hissed from the front row. But what was she supposed to say? That her life had just fallen apart? That the man she loved had just replaced her like she meant nothing? Tears blurred her vision, but she refused to let them fall. Not here. Not in front of everyone. Not like this. She straightened her back slowly. “Fine,” she said, her voice trembling but firm. “Go.” Her fiancé didn’t hesitate. He turned and walked out with the other woman, leaving her alone at the altar. Just like that. Lina swallowed the lump in her throat. She needed to leave. Now. Before she completely broke down. She lifted her dress and hurried toward the exit, ignoring the whispers, the stares, the pity. But just as she stepped outside— She bumped into someone. Hard. “Watch where you’re going,” a deep, cold voice said. Lina looked up— And her breath caught. The man standing in front of her was tall, dangerously handsome, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit. His sharp eyes studied her like she was nothing more than a stranger. But she knew him. And that made her blood run cold. It was him. The one man she never wanted to see again. The man who once destroyed her life. He tilted his head slightly, a faint smirk forming on his lips. “Well,” he said slowly, “this is… interesting.” Lina’s heart pounded. Of all people… Why him? The room got more and more silent than it was. A chill run through my spine. Of all the people to run into why him especially on my wedding day. I definitely knew it was not going to end well. The perfect life I had envisioned was soon going to end badly.The silence in the car was different this time.Not tense.Not awkward.But charged.Lina sat beside Adrian, the file still fresh in her mind.Every name.Every message.Every betrayal.“They really planned all of this,” she said quietly.Adrian didn’t look at her.“Yes.”Her jaw tightened.“Just to destroy me?”“To destroy you,” he corrected calmly, “and weaken me.”That made her pause.“So I was just… a tool?”His gaze shifted to her.“Not anymore.”Her heart skipped.She looked away.The car stopped.Lina frowned slightly as she looked outside.“Where are we?”Adrian stepped out first.Then opened her door.“Come with me.”She hesitated.Then followed.They entered a tall glass building.Modern.Powerful.The kind of place where decisions changed lives.Lina’s heels clicked against the marble floor as she walked beside him.People turned.Whispered.Watched.“She’s the one from last night…”“Isn’t that—?”Lina stiffened slightly.But this time—She didn’t shrink.She lifted her chi
Lina didn’t sleep that night.Not really.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw it again—The screen.The whispers.The look on Adrian’s face when she walked away.She turned in bed, frustrated.“Why do I even care?” she muttered.This was supposed to be simple.A deal.Nothing more.But now—Nothing felt simple anymore.Morning came with a quiet knock.“Ma’am?”Lina sat up slowly.“Yes?”“Mr. Blackwood asked me to give you this.”The door opened slightly, and a small envelope was placed inside.Lina frowned.An envelope?She got out of bed and picked it up.It was plain.Simple.But something about it made her uneasy.Slowly—She opened it.Inside was a single note.“Meet me where it started.”Her heart skipped.Where it started?Her mind raced.Then—It clicked.The church.“No way,” she whispered.An hour later—Lina stood outside the same church.The place where everything had gone wrong.And somehow—Where everything had changed.Her chest tightened as memories rushed back.The
“Lina—wait!”His voice followed her.Strong.Urgent.But she didn’t stop.The cold night air hit her skin as she stepped outside, her chest rising and falling rapidly.Her mind was chaos.Her heart—Even worse.“Lina!”Footsteps approached quickly behind her.Closer.Closer.Then—Her wrist was grabbed.Again.She stopped.But this time…She didn’t turn around immediately.“Let go,” she said, her voice low and controlled.Adrian’s grip tightened slightly.“Not until you listen.”Her jaw clenched.“I’ve heard enough.”She tried to pull away—But he didn’t let go.“Look at me.”“No.”“Lina.”Something in his tone—Different this time—Made her hesitate.Slowly…She turned.His expression wasn’t the same.No calm.No control.No cold distance.For the first time—He looked… shaken.“You should have told me,” she said before he could speak.Her voice wasn’t loud.But it cut deeper than anger.“I was going to,” he said.“When?” she shot back. “After everyone saw? After I was humiliated aga
The music faded.But the tension didn’t.Lina stepped back slightly, her heart still racing from the dance.Something felt wrong.Off.Like the calm before a storm.“You’re thinking too much,” Adrian said, watching her closely.She forced a small smile.“Am I?”“Yes.”Before she could respond—A voice cut through the room.“Ladies and gentlemen…”The entire hall quieted.A man stepped onto the stage, holding a microphone.“We have a special announcement tonight.”Lina’s stomach tightened.She didn’t know why—But something inside her screamed danger.Adrian’s expression darkened slightly.“Stay close,” he murmured.“Tonight,” the man continued, smiling, “we celebrate not just business… but truth.”Lina frowned.Truth?What did that mean?Then—The large screen behind the stage flickered on.And everything changed.Images appeared.Clear.Undeniable.Lina’s breath caught.“No…”Her voice barely came out.It was her.Photos of her.Old ones.Ones she never wanted anyone to see again.He
