LOGINThree days before my wedding with Adam Wayman, his childhood friend, Diana Smith, came up to us. She ignored me and said to Adam as if it were only natural, “Adam, I know you’re about to get married, but I need you to spend five days with me.” Adam took me by the hand and led me away, just like he always had. Right when I thought our wedding would proceed as scheduled, he sent me a message. [Grace, I’m sorry, but let’s postpone our wedding for five days.] Later, he placed his suitcase by the door and pulled me into his arms. “Grace, I’m sorry. I’m the only one who can handle this project. Wait for me to get back, and I’ll make it up to you properly.” I held him tightly and said, “It’s okay. When are you coming back? Do you want me to pick you up at the airport?” Adam gently kissed my forehead and said, “Don’t worry about it. Just get some rest and enjoy being a bride-to-be.” Not long after he left, I saw a notification pop up on his spare phone. He had left it on the couch. The notification was about flight tickets to Marisol Bay. On the tickets, I saw Adam and Diana’s names. That was when I knew it was not a business trip at all. He was going on a vacation with her. I recalled how thrilled he had looked when I said “yes” to his proposal. Oh, well. Rotten fruit got tossed, and so did rotten people. I took out my phone and sent a message to the wedding planner, Felicity Feathers. [Cancel my wedding.]

Dylan instinctively shielded me from the cold wind and guided me into the car.“What do you feel like eating? I’ll take you somewhere.”I took out my phone and browsed through nearby restaurants.“There’s a good pizza place around here. Want to give it a try?”“Wherever you want.”He drove steadily and looked totally composed.When we arrived at our destination, I prepared to unbuckle my seatbelt and get out. Just then, Dylan grabbed my arm.He looked at me with uncharacteristic intensity.“Grace.”“Hmm?”His gaze held a depth of emotion that I could not quite read.“Some people get bored with the same old stability and throw you away for something new and exciting. But to me, love isn’t about dramatic thrills. It’s about showing up every day and never leaving.“Grace, I’ve waited for you for five years. Are you willing to give me a chance?”I stared at him, and I wa
Two months passed. I had just stepped out of the research institute with Dylan when I saw Adam rush toward me. He had a delighted look on his face.When he noticed Dylan beside me, his expression darkened.He walked straight up to us and said to him, “Why are you hanging around Grace?”Before Adam could get any closer, I stepped forward and positioned myself in front of Dylan.“Adam, how dare you show your face here?”His expression dimmed, and he looked at me with a pitiful gaze.“Grace, can you just give me a moment and hear me out? We need to talk.”After two months apart, he had become quite haggard.“There’s nothing for us to talk about.”“Grace, please.”I turned to Dylan.“Wait for me in the car.”Dylan hesitated.“Are you sure you’ll be okay on your own?”“Yeah. Don’t worry.”I gave him a reassuring smile and added, “I promised you we would have dinner together tonight. I won’t go back on my word.”He nodded and turned to leave.Once Dylan was completely out of
The ability to throw myself fully into work put my mind at ease.At lunchtime, my former college roommate, Naomi Reeves, sent me a screenshot of the chat from the alumni group.[Grace, is Diana talking about you in these messages?]I opened the alumni group chat, and Diana was calling me out by name in the group.[Grace is so petty. She canceled her wedding over a normal trip. She made Adam think it was my fault that she called it off.][If she didn’t want to get married, she should’ve just said so. Why frame me?]I scrolled through the entire chat.Originally, a classmate had simply asked in the group whether anyone knew why Adam and I had called off our wedding.Diana was the one who replied to the message. [It’s all because she’s so immature. She got ridiculously jealous over nothing, and now, she’s turned this into a public spectacle.]Right after that, she sent me a private message.[You two are over. Adam is mine now. You’ve already embarrassed him in front of his fam
“Grace, forget whatever Diana told you. Just come home first, okay?”Adam panicked and instinctively shifted the blame onto Diana.“She’s just jealous of you. She can’t stand to see you happy, so she’s trying to stir up trouble and ruin our wedding.”I sent him the screenshots I took, one by one.“You can’t fool me. You’re the figure in all those photos.”The other end of the line became dead silent. His lies had been completely exposed, and he could no longer make any excuses.“Grace, I’m sorry. I just got carried away for a moment. “A lot of guys make this kind of mistake. It only happened once. Please just forgive—”Before he could finish his sentence, I hung up.Tomorrow was my first official day of work. I had to get myself into the right state of mind, and no one was worth the distraction.Perhaps it was because of jet lag and heartbreak, but I did not sleep well at first.I could only rely on melatonin to fall asleep.My dreams brought me back to the time Adam too
