LOGINMy fiancee’s childhood friend, Harold Herb, loved playing pranks. Once, he dyed my custom-made suit fluorescent green. He blinked innocently. “Weston, I just thought white looked boring, so I wanted to add a little color for you.” The second time, he tampered with the engagement invitations. The wedding venue was changed from a five-star hotel to a cemetery on the outskirts of town. When I caught him, he said it was all about aesthetics. The eerie, spooky vibe would help the guests beat the heat. The third time, he slipped a powerful hair-removal cream into my shower gel. A week before the wedding, almost all my hair and eyebrows had fallen out. Each time, my fiancee would comfort me, saying he just liked to joke around and meant no harm. I put up with it all because I loved her. On our wedding night, Harold brought over a stained sheet as a gift. Lana Sidney brushed it off with the same old line, telling me not to take it too seriously. The moment I saw her standing in front of Harold to protect him, I knew it was time to put an end to this relationship.
View MoreDuring our three-year relationship, the closest I ever got to her was holding her hand.Lana always said we had to wait until after we were married to do “that kind of thing.”I held back for over a thousand days and nights.We were broken up, but she was suddenly offering herself to me.I took a few steps back. Then, Lana lay flat on the floor.I looked down at her in disgust. “You truly are disgusting.“I don’t think you ever liked me. It was the money and power that you liked.”In the past, if I had humiliated her like this, she would have screamed and demanded an apology.At that moment, she just tilted her head as tears streamed down her face.“Weston, I know I was wrong.“From now on, you’ll be the only man in my life. I’ll never betray you again.“I’m begging you, please give me one more chance.”Alondra stood in the doorway. She looked at me teasingly.“Your charm hasn’t faded a bit, Mr. Lobell. Even your ex-wife has come knocking on her own.”I quickly walked tow
“Is this really how it ends between us?”Tears welled up in Lana’s eyes. Her makeup was a smudged mess.“Weston, have you forgotten? You once said you loved me and would give up everything for me!”I looked at her in disgust. “Lana, you turned me into a laughingstock in the whole of Riverville with that stained sheet.“Are you really talking to me about love right now? Do you have any dignity left?”I stood up and looked down at her.“I stand before you now as the CEO of Lobell Group and the creditor of the Sidney Corporation and Herb Group. One thing is certain. I am no longer your lover.”I turned away and offered Alondra an apologetic smile.“Sorry for making a scene. Let’s find another place.”Alondra rose gracefully and nodded at me.She slipped her arm through mine. Together we walked past Lana, who was slumped on the floor.As we passed Lana, Alondra paused and whispered in a voice only the two of us could hear, “Mr. Lobell, some people only realize they once held the
He stepped forward to help Lana up, but she pushed him away.“It’s all your fault!”Lana screamed hysterically, “If it weren’t for you, would I have ended up like this?”Harold froze. “Lana, how can you say that? Aren’t we childhood friends?”Lana showed no mercy. When she thought of the astronomical compensation, she hated the man standing before her with a passion.“Do you think our childhood friendship is something you can use as currency? Because of you, I’ve been kicked out of Sidney Corporation!”Harold’s expression suddenly changed. “What nonsense are you talking about!”Lana stood up and pointed a finger at his nose.“My company is facing bankruptcy, and soon, it’ll be your family’s turn!”Harold’s face turned deathly pale.“How is that possible?“Weston loves you so much. How could he ever do anything to make you hate him?!”I cleared my throat. “If you’re going to be all lovey-dovey, do it somewhere else!”Harold instinctively wanted to yell at me like he used to
Her eyes were red and sad, as if she was waiting for me to soften my heart once again.I snorted derisively. “Weren’t you quite the talker last night? What are you doing coming back to me now?”Lana choked on her words. “I just felt sorry for Harold last night. After that, I planned to go our separate ways!“Trust me, you’re the only one in my heart!”If she had said that a few days ago, I might actually have believed her.She had cheated on me, yet she expected me to willingly accept being cuckolded, as if I could ever agree to something like that.I waved my hand. The bodyguard standing nearby grabbed Lana and tossed her onto the street.Just then, Lana’s parents rushed over.Lana ran to them. “Mom, Dad, please talk to Weston and convince him to let me in.”Mr. Sidney slapped her across the face. “Behave yourself! If it weren’t for your stupidity, would Sidney Corporation be facing bankruptcy?”Lana’s eyes widened. She never expected her father, who had always doted on her,
