While doing my girlfriend Bianca White's laundry, I found an envelope with a certified marriage certificate and a wedding photo between her clothes. In the wedding photo against the white background, the young man beside her smiled with bright, reckless confidence. I shook all over and slammed the document down in front of her. Bianca gave it one calm glance, then tapped the young man's face in the photo with her fingertip. "Mason Rivers. You know him. He failed to get into grad school and tried to kill himself last year and I saved him, so we exchanged numbers. He wouldn't have come to me unless he was desperate. "His parents are very controlling. Back home, they were trying to force him into a marriage and give up on his education. As an educator, I couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so I helped him." Bianca said it so casually, as if she had only done him a small favor. However, the marriage certificate and wedding photo would not go away. I stared at it, then suddenly laughed until I almost cried. I had waited eight whole years for that certificate, yet I had never once gotten Bianca to say "Let's get married" even now. I never expected Mason to get it with one sentence.

The evidence was obvious, and the university administration took the matter very seriously. They formed a unit within the research misconduct committee to look into the entire case.The truth soon came out.Bianca had been the one researching the new nanomaterial all these years. As for Mason, he couldn't even explain the relevant technical terms properly. On top of that, the two had once been married.The university could almost determine Bianca's motive from that alone. To get her husband admitted without going through the proper admission routes, she had deliberately handed Mason her research results.As soon as the investigation notice was posted on campus, the students were furious. They had studied bitterly for years and barely managed to get into that university, but Mason had relied on a woman to get admitted without an exam so easily. It was too unfair!The students spontaneously cornered Mason and Bianca, holding banners and demanding that the university expel them bot

"Alan," Bianca called my name softly, her voice full of pain.She put her hand into her pocket, then slowly took out a velvet box. When she opened it, an elegant men's wedding band lay inside. I could tell it was worth a fortune in just a glance. It shone brilliantly even in the dim room."Do you remember the year your mom passed away? We were seniors, and you said you had no home anymore. I held you that day and said I would marry you one day. We'll have children with you and give you a home again. Alan, I came to keep my promise."Outside the window, white funeral memorial ribbons drifted down in the wind.I suddenly felt dizzy.I was so furious I could faintly taste the blood in my throat.I knocked the velvet box to the floor.The ring, worth tens of thousands, rolled away and disappeared into some hidden corner."Eight years. We were together for eight whole years, and you never once thought about marrying me. Now that your lover has driven my grandma to her death, you c

I quietly stayed by the bed, wiping the back of my grandmother's hands and dressing her for burial at the funeral home together with the staff.Jessie asked why I had come so late. After thinking it over, I decided to keep the heart surgery a secret."Alan, I know about you and Bianca. You two got together in college. How could she register a marriage with someone else? She lied to you, didn't she? I'll call your cousins right now, and we can go find her together. Bianca owes an explanation!"I calmly told my aunt about Bianca and Mason. Her mouth widened in shock, her eyes full of bewilderment. She couldn't understand how anyone could be that insane.Bianca had married some man to help him and completely disregarded her boyfriend of eight years."Alan..." Jessie wanted to comfort me, but she did not know what to say.I buttoned the shirt's last button for my grandmother, then calmly looked up at my aunt. "I broke up with Bianca. I should've seen her for what she really was muc

The doctor said Alan wouldn't wake up until the next morning.Bianca used the chance to go home. She packed up all of Mason's belongings and threw them out, then sprayed Alan's favorite cologne around the house several times before she finally stopped.After all that, she sat quietly on the sofa and suddenly felt especially lonely. Usually, she could always see Alan somewhere whether she was reading the newspaper on the sofa or doing research in the study.Alan cooking a meal. Alan humming a song. Alan working out on the treadmill.She had always complained coldly that he was being too noisy, but she couldn't help secretly looking up at him every so often while she worked.Eight years had passed, but time didn't seem to have left many marks on him. He was still as handsome as he had been in college. Only, for some reason, the smile on his face had grown rarer and rarer.Bianca shifted glumly and lay down. Then, something dug into her.When she got up and looked, it was a watch

I spent some money on a metal cot and moved into my shop.Bianca came by several times to talk me into going home, but I threw her out every time.I reported the missing jewelry to the police, but without enough evidence, they couldn't open a case at all.I was so anxious that I could barely func

The tear on my face hadn't even dried. When the wind blew, my face felt raw and scraped.I couldn't stay in that home for one more second.I quickly opened a rental app, but the prices made my heart sink.Apartments in Creston cost at least forty-five hundred dollars a month. Meanwhile, I had bar

While I was still standing there in a stupor, Bianca stepped past me and opened the door herself.A fair, thin boy walked in, dragging a suitcase in his left hand and carrying a huge stack of books in his right, swaying under the weight.Bianca quickly took the books from him. "Let me."The face

"I'll move out tonight," I said.I felt my chest tightened as I turned around, losing all hope.Bianca, who had always been composed, lost her calm and suddenly hugged me tightly from behind. She had always had a cold personality and devoted much of herself to research, so moments like this were r
