Two months before my wedding, I went to inspect my newly purchased house. I was surprised to find that the layout had been changed and an extra empty room had been added. This room was twice the size of my bedroom. To make space for it, my walk-in closet had been demolished. Confused, I waited for my fiance, Austin Jibson, to come home. When he returned, I looked at him with a frown and asked, “Why did you add an extra room without telling me?” He stayed silent for a moment before he smiled and casually said, “Laurel found out we bought a place, and she was green with envy. “She’s alone here in Meridian and stuck in a run-down rented apartment. It’s not a problem for her to stay here with us once the extra room is ready.” There it was again: the same “it’s not a problem.” Not long after I bought a car, Austin bought an even more expensive one for Laurel Arbor, my best friend. He justified it by saying, “She works overtime almost every day. By the time she leaves, even the subway’s closed. It’s very inconvenient for her. “I’m going to be your husband soon. It’s only fair to be nice to your friend and get her a car. It’s not a problem.” I had gone to great lengths to order a one‑of‑a‑kind wedding ring from across the globe. However, the very next day, Laurel posted the exact same design on her social media. When I got upset, Austin only smiled and plainly said, “You’re about to walk down the aisle, while she’s still single and moping around every day. “I just wanted to make a good impression on your best friend, so getting her a ring isn’t a problem.” Faced with the same excuse, I did not hold back any longer. I sent a message to the real estate agent directly and listed the house for sale. Since he cared so much about Laurel, us not getting married would not be a problem either.

Three years passed.I stood on the balcony of my new home and looked out at the distant sea.The sunlight here was wonderful, and it felt warm on my skin.I was wearing a white dress, and my hair had grown much longer. It fell loosely over my shoulders.I was also wearing a bracelet that my mother had bought me as a New Year’s gift.“Grace, food’s ready!” My mother called from inside the house.“Coming!” I replied with a smile before walking inside.There were mashed potatoes, brisket, and a bowl of creamy tomato soup on the dining table.My father sat at the table and dished the food out for me.“Eat more. You’re too skinny.”“Dad, I’m not skinny. I actually gained two pounds.”“Good. A little weight looks better on you.”I laughed, took the plate, and stuffed a piece of brisket into my mouth.My mother gave me a pat and helplessly said, “Slow down. Nobody’s going to take it from you.“We made all of this for you.”We talked and laughed as we ate.Sunlight shone throug

One month later, the new house was sold.The buyers were a young couple who had just gotten married. They had been looking at properties everywhere.When they saw this place, they could not believe how cheap it was.The agent said the seller was in a hurry, so the price was reduced.They did not ask further questions and signed the contract.When Austin went to handle the transfer procedures, he stood inside the house and looked around for a long time.A decorative painting he had nailed up still hung on the wall.He did not take it down.The couple asked if he wanted it back, but he said no.It would be useless to keep it anyway.After finishing the procedures, he stood at the entrance and glanced back once. Our home was gone forever.Just then, he recalled when we first bought the house, he had asked me, “Grace, what kind of place are you dreaming of?”I said I wanted a walk-in closet and large windows that let the sunlight shine through.He said okay.After that, to

After that day, he waited downstairs every day.He stood there from morning until night, rain or shine.The neighbors all recognized him. They whispered behind his back, “Who’s that guy? He’s just standing down there every day.”“I heard he’s the Wrights’ daughter’s ex-boyfriend. He broke her heart, and now, he’s trying to get her back.”“Tsk, it serves him right. Where was all this effort before?”Austin heard them but did not argue. He just stood there and let everyone stare at him. He would look down and say, “I deserve this. I’m the one who wronged Grace.”On the fifteenth day, it rained heavily.He had no umbrella, so he stood right in the rain. He was soaked through, with water streaming down his faceIt was impossible to tell if it was rain or tears.My mother saw him from the window and sighed.“Gracie, he’s still out there getting soaked.”I was flipping through a book on the couch.Without looking up, I said, “Let him.“What if he gets sick—”“That’s on hi

The sky was still dark when Austin arrived.He stood downstairs outside my place and looked up at that familiar window.His heart began to pound fiercely, and he stood there for a long time.He waited until dawn broke and the people in the neighborhood started leaving for work.Only then did he dare to go up and ring the doorbell.My mother opened the door. The moment she saw him, her expression turned cold.“Mrs. Wright, I’m here to see Grace.”“She’s not here.”“Then, where is she...?”“She doesn’t want to see you.”She then calmly added, “Gracie told me everything. I know all about what you did.“She doesn’t want to see you right now, so leave.”Austin grew anxious.“Please, just let me see her once.”“I have something to tell her. I—”My mother cut him off and said, “You left my daughter alone in that house for another woman.“You made her return her dress, cancel the wedding, and sell the home you two bought.“You made her take the train back here by herself.
