Chapter 5

Author: Roast Lamb
Beneath the stage, several of Robbie's buddies sat watching.

They all knew the story behind this mess. To them, I was nothing more than a jealous ex who couldn't stomach the sight of his new marriage and had come to make a scene.

One even called out, "Ruby! I get that you're upset, but let's talk this out after. Don't do this here!"

I didn't spare him a glance. My voice, cold and cutting, rang through the microphone, echoing across the hall.

"Relax. I'm not here to ruin their wedding. As a friend, I've brought Robbie a very special gift."

With that, I snatched the remote control for the big screen from the emcee's hand.

I knew perfectly well what came next: the video blessings from friends and family. Naturally, I had made sure to slip something of my own into the reel.

Clicking past a few irrelevant clips, the screen soon lit up with the scene of Robbie's birthday party.

He wore a paper crown, his face smeared with cream, but his expression was reverent as he dropped to one kn

  • My Boyfriend Married Someone Else   Chapter 10

    I listened in silence.Robbie's reckless, irresponsible immaturity had ruined me, himself, and Lucy, who was already ill.Allan's voice dropped lower. "The memorial service is this afternoon. I hope you'll come to see Robbie… I'm angry with him too, but the way he is now—like a walking corpse—I'm worried. Please, just come."I remembered how Allan had lashed out at Robbie on my behalf. For that, I was grateful. At a time like this, I couldn't refuse his request."Alright. Send me the location. I'll go this afternoon."I deliberately arrived late. I imagined Lucy's family wouldn't want to see me. As much as I hated her, as furious as I was at her choices, the dead were beyond reproach. There was no point in stirring conflict at her memorial.By the time I walked in, only Robbie remained. He stood frozen before Lucy's portrait, his body rigid as stone, lost in thoughts I couldn't read.I gently tapped his shoulder."Are you alright? She's gone now. She probably wouldn't want you

    "I'm sorry. I know what I did was outrageous. These past weeks, I've been thinking… back then, I really lost my head because of Lucy. It's all my fault."Ruby, give me another chance, please? I'll find a way to explain everything to her soon and end this ridiculous marriage!"As he spoke, Robbie's voice grew hoarse with emotion as tears streamed down his face.Once, the sight of him crying for me would have made my heart ache. I would have reached out, held him, and forgiven everything.But now… I wasn't even sure how much of what he said was true."No need."My tone was icy."I'll say it again, Robbie. I don't love you anymore, and I don't plan to marry you."Panic flickered across his face. He stepped closer and suddenly pulled me into his arms."Don't! Ruby, I love you. I really love you. These days made me realize I can't live without you. You don't know what I've been through every single day…"His heart pounded hard against mine. I couldn't tell whether it was from exci

    I rubbed my temples, speechless, and dragged my suitcase, ready to leave.But the police stopped me."Please wait. We've already notified Mr. Winters. Let's wait for him to arrive before you go."My mood soured, but I didn't want to clash with the officers, so I stood quietly to the side.Within minutes, Robbie came rushing over.He was clearly frantic—hair disheveled, face flushed, panting heavily.The instant his eyes found me, they lit up."Thank goodness you're all right. You scared me half to death," he said, reaching out to seize my hand. "Ruby, next time you travel so far, at least let me know. Do you have any idea how worried I've been?"His eyes were red as he looked at me.He really had lost weight during this time, his gaze weary, stubble unshaven.Even the police seemed moved by his so-called devotion."Miss, your boyfriend cares about you a lot. Next time, don't make him worry like this," one officer said.In their eyes, I'd suddenly become the childish, though

    So it was just the security guard at the front gate.No wonder I vaguely heard someone knocking while I slept, but I'd been too exhausted to pay it any mind.I ran a hand through my hair and said, "Sorry, I'm single now. I don't have a boyfriend. If you mean Robbie Winters, he's already married. I can give you his wife's number instead. Her number is…"The guard sounded stunned by the news and let out awkward grunts in response.I hung up.He was the one who betrayed me, so how could he still harass me with such shameless righteousness?I didn't know if Robbie had gone home or not, but for the next week, he called incessantly.I blocked him, only to run into him loitering outside the gates of my neighborhood when I went out shopping.Thankfully, I had been cautious enough to cover myself in a sun-protection jacket and mask, slipping away unnoticed.During that time, many of our mutual friends also called.Some offered comfort, concerned about how I was doing. But many more ca

  • My Boyfriend Married Someone Else   Chapter 6

    I watched as a crowd surged forward, demanding answers.My purpose was already achieved. To stay and quarrel further would be meaningless.Without sparing Robbie another glance, I rubbed my ankle, turned, and walked straight out of the hall.I returned to the home we once shared.Years of memories lingered in every corner, every object carrying his presence. The bitter irony was that even though he now had a wife, a marriage, and a new life, so much of his stuff still cluttered our space.I spent the entire afternoon clearing it all out.After confirming his new address with one of his friends, I hired a moving company and had every last box delivered to him and Lucy.The truck had barely pulled away when Robbie suddenly returned.His hair was a mess, scratches marred his face, and he was still in his crumpled wedding suit. Clearly, he hadn't reaped the happy ending he wanted.He froze at the sight of the half-empty apartment. Fury flashed across his features."Ruby, what the
