Chapter 6

ผู้เขียน: Sweet Clementine
She even managed to cancel our wedding that we had finally set, just by saying, "Hank's not feeling well," like it was nothing.

So this time, I did not bow down to her.

We stopped talking, but her social media was buzzing more than ever.

In the glitzy party lights, she would be all over Hank, but her eyes kept sneaking peeks at the camera.

Hank, he would wave those photos in my face, taunting me.

[You think you can beat me, loser? You couldn't get Nancy in ten years, but all it takes is one

  • Snow on the Other Side   Chapter 9

    She was so worried about him that she made me the fall guy. Maybe she knew all along it was not me, but she went along with it anyway.Because I'm the strong one, without a hint of depression?I could not help but laugh bitterly to myself. I looked at her with a chill in my eyes that must have scared her because she could not even meet my gaze."Nancy, do you know what sets humans apart from animals?"She looked confused, so I spelled it out for her, "Humans know how to put on an act, and sometimes they're even better at being beasts than the beasts themselves."After I went inside, Nancy did not leave.She stood frozen, like a puppet without a soul, her face as white as the snow around us. Our eyes met through the glass, and it was like I was back on New Year's Eve.I was shivering in the cold snow, and she was cozy inside a warm room, looking down at me with a mix of scorn and pity.I ignored the pain in her eyes and quickly closed the curtains. I could not look at her anymor

  • Snow on the Other Side   Chapter 8

    The questions came at me like waves, but I just did not get it.She was the one who did not want to marry me, after all.I pulled my hand away from hers and glanced at my jeans and T-shirt.I kept quiet, but Nancy looked like she had lost all her fight, nothing like the angry person she was just a moment ago.The year we were so in love was the same year she first put off our wedding for Hank.Back then, I did not know the truth. She said it was because of her job, but she actually went to see the Northern Lights with Hank.When she saw I was upset, she cuddled up to me and said in a sweet voice, "Samuel, I'm sorry. Work's been crazy this year. Let's definitely get married next year, okay?"I could not stay mad at her. Half teasing, half serious, I said: "If you do this again, I'll wear my everyday clothes at the wedding and hide in the crowd, so you'll never be able to find me."She laughed and slipped a fancy watch she had bought onto my wrist, then kissed me softly."That d

  • Snow on the Other Side   Chapter 7

    "That's okay, I have one."She pulled out the ring I had tossed aside and slipped it onto my finger herself.Hank stepped in front of me, trying hard not to show his jealousy. "Samuel, you made it. Is your hand still sore?"He was poking at old wounds on purpose, but this time, I was not the one to cut him off."Stop it! What's so fun about dredging up old stuff all the time?" Nancy's sharp words stopped Hank cold, and he just stood there, speechless.Nancy did not care about his hurt feelings this time. He had always thought he was Nancy's dream guy, the one she could not have. However, it turned out that once he became too clingy, he was just annoying.Nancy and I had our wedding date set for the fifteenth. She seemed even more eager than I was.She stuck by my side right up to the wedding day. She did not even go to work, and when Hank acted all depressed and threatened to hurt himself, she pretended she did not notice.Somehow, Hank calmed down after a while. He stopped fus

You couldn't get Nancy in ten years, but all it takes is one word from me, and she's mine.]I just smiled when Nancy, after a few too many drinks, tearfully asked me why I had not reached out to her, why I would not just say sorry."Samuel, just say you're sorry, and everything will go back to how it was. You can come back to work, and no one will bring up the jail thing," she said.I thought about it. Since getting out, only Nancy and Hank's crowd ever mentioned my time behind bars.Oh, and there was someone else I had almost forgotten.I was silen

  • Snow on the Other Side   Chapter 5

    "Samuel!" Nancy yelled as I walked away, feeling all numb. "If you leave now, you'll regret it!""Don't be mad, Nancy. Guys are jerks, especially the ones who've been to jail. Just ignore him for a bit, and he'll come back begging for forgiveness." Cindy said.Nancy's loud voice and the buzz of people talking around me started to sound fuzzy. I walked down the street, barely noticing anything, feeling like I was floating.The street was alive with excitement because it was a special day, but my heart felt empty and icy.I followed the address my neighbor Linda gave me and found my mom's grave.Mom was resting quietly in the snow, her picture on the gravestone looking as kind as always.I brushed the snow off the white daisies and felt warm tears drop onto my hand.I had dreamed so many times about seeing Mom again after I got out of jail. I even hoped she would be there smiling at my wedding with Nancy, watching me start my happy life.However, all those dreams were broken then

  • Snow on the Other Side   Chapter 4

    Hank stood there with his arms crossed, looking down on me like I was nothing."You must be really scared you won't find anyone to marry, coming here to apologize to me like this," he said.I just looked at him, no expression on my face. "You're right, I should apologize."He grinned, thinking he had won, but the bruise on his cheek stood out like a sore thumb.I laughed, but there was no humor in it. "No, Hank. You're the one who should be saying sorry to me."Hank just laughed harder, looking way too pleased with himself. "I don't get it. Why should I say sorry to you?"He had all the time in the world to play dumb, but I was done playing games. "You stole my account and leaked Windsor's secrets, didn't you?""It doesn't matter who did it. What matters is who Nancy trusts.""So Nancy trusts you. What's that prove? That you're a great actor?" At my words, Hank burst out laughing, his eyes full of scorn. I had had enough. I turned to leave, but he grabbed my arm.He looked aro
