Mag-log inJennifer Koch, my childhood friend, has spent years helping me "test" my boyfriend, Tyler Sloan, to see if he's someone worth being with. When she sends a message in our group chat saying that she wants a beach vacation, her boyfriend immediately books first-class flight tickets for the two of them. Meanwhile, I wait up, checking my phone constantly. The clock strikes midnight before Tyler's reply comes in. "I'm busy." On Valentine's Day, Jennifer is showered with gifts and flowers. What I get is a lecture from Tyler. "Can you not be so childish? Who cares about these frivolous things?" Every time, I hold back my tears and try to excuse his behavior for him. "He's just not a very sentimental guy. He doesn't know how to be romantic, but I know he cares about me." Once we get engaged, however, it seems as though Tyler has learned to be romantic at last. He has decided to hold a grand wedding ceremony for us. Yet, every time he meets with the wedding planners, he gets Jennifer to go with him. He even lets her try on the wedding gown in my place and walk down the aisle at the dress rehearsal for me. "I just want to keep it a surprise for you," he tells me. During my bachelorette party, a fire breaks out at the hotel because of some faulty wiring. Jennifer pulls me into a corner to hide. "Cassie, if Tyler doesn't save you first this time, you should dump him at the altar, okay?" The next second, Tyler kicks down the door, his eyes red. Just as I'm about to stretch my hand out, he scoops Jennifer up in his arms and rushes for the door, saying to me, "You can escape by yourself. Jenny can't stand being in pain!" I freeze up. The smoke swirls around me. I watch as the emergency responders call out, "The bride's safe! Where's her family?" Tyler grips Jennifer's hand tightly and chokes out, "I'm here. I'm her husband." As I stare at their embraced figures, it finally hits me. Tyler does have it in him to be sentimental and romantic after all. I'm just not the woman he shows that side of himself to.
view moreBasking in the sunny weather of Paverie, I sat at an outdoor table at a cafe. The paint on my canvas had just dried.Just then, my phone buzzed. Leanna Fisher, my friend back home, sent me a video."Cassie, look! What goes around comes around. Those two scumbags have turned on each other!"I tapped on the video and saw that it was taken inside Tyler's office. He sat behind his desk with a frighteningly stormy look on his face.Jennifer stood across from him, her makeup streaked from tears. "Tyler, why did you cancel my credit cards? Why did you take the house back?"Snorting, Tyler grabbed the ashtray from his desk and smashed it onto the floor."You have the nerve to ask why? Would I have dismissed Cassie's reaction as a temper tantrum if you hadn't fanned the flames and misled me? You deliberately stopped me from saving her, and you insisted on wearing that wedding gown!"You ruined my wedding and my reputation, Jennifer. Do you expect me to continue bankrolling your lifestyle
Sitting in a cafe at the airport, I checked the flight information for Paverie. It had been half a month since I left the country, and during that time, Tyler searched everywhere for me.When he couldn't get through to me, he tried calling me with other people's numbers. My email inbox was filled with his letters of remorse, but I ignored them all."Cassie," a hoarse voice called out behind me.My hand froze around the coffee mug as I turned my head.Tyler stood behind me, his face unshaven and his eyes bloodshot. His expensive bespoke suit was covered in wrinkles.His eyes reddened when he saw me. He staggered toward me, reaching for my hand. I coldly pulled away and got up. "What brings you here, Mr. Sloan?"Tyler froze at the formal address I used. "Don't call me that, Cassie."His knees buckled, and he dropped to the floor in front of me. The passing travelers started looking our way.Clutching the hem of my blouse tightly, Tyler professed, "I know I messed up, Cassie. I ne
By the time the plane landed in Lampton, more than a dozen hours had passed. The moment I turned on my phone, a flood of notifications poured in.The spectacle at the hotel had gone viral all across social media back home. After skimming through the trending topics, I clicked on a video Olivia sent to me.In the footage, Tyler stood on the stage in the hotel ballroom. His face was ashen, his hand clutching the crumpled wedding cancellation confirmation.Jennifer stood beside him in her wedding gown, her makeup ruined from her tears. "How could she be so selfish and leave you here all alone?"She was still trying to pin the blame on me.The guests were also murmuring among themselves.Tyler took a deep breath and picked up the microphone. "Everyone, there's been a slight mishap with today's wedding."He was trying to maintain his dignity and composure. "Cassie isn't feeling well, so the wedding has been postponed."The moment those words left his mouth, the LED screen above the
Sitting in a window seat on the plane, I connected my phone to the in-flight Wi-Fi. The alumni group chat for my old university was already blowing up. Someone had started a livestream from the wedding venue.On the screen, Tyler sat in the back seat of the wedding car, his head lowered as he stared at his phone. The livestream was being hosted by an old classmate sitting in the passenger seat, with the camera pointed directly at him."Tyler, is Cassidy still not answering your calls?" the classmate asked.Tyler said nothing.I deduced he was looking through our chat history. In the past, I'd been the one constantly waiting to hear back from him. His replies were always curt."I'm busy.""I don't have time for that.""Eat without me."Now that I'd disappeared completely, it finally hit him that something was amiss. He started typing away on his phone, only to delete what he wrote. Instead, he sent a voice message.I tapped on the audio-to-text function."Enough, Cassie. I onl
