    But the piercing pain I expected never actually hit me.I whipped my head around and saw Diana standing right in front of me. She wasclutching her stomach with one hand, blood pouring out through her fingers. Shestumbled and collapsed heavily into my arms."Diana!" I scrambled to hold her up, using my other hand to dial 911.

I yelled, pressing down hard on her wound, my fingers soakedin her hot blood.Diana was already slipping out of consciousness. Her face was deathly pale, butshe still struggled to open her eyes and look at me. She pulled her lips into afaint smile."So... getting stabbed hurts this much...

The doctor said the blade mis

    Two years later. John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York.I pushed my luggage out of the terminal, the familiar air hitting my face.The day I left New York, I was all alone; returning two years later, I had Tinaby my side.After my first round of research wrapped up, the hospital approved a two-monthleave. I decided to come back—there was one last thing I needed to finish here,a proper goodbye."Nathan, hurry up or we'll be late!" Tina grabbed my hand, breaking into a jog.Lucas had insisted on throwing me a welcome-back party. Since I hadn't seen myfriends in two years, I agreed.As we hurried upstairs, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of thecorner of my eye, but I didn't think much of it.The moment I pushed open the door to the private room, confetti rained down onus."You absolute ghost! Not a single word for two years. I was this close to filinga missing persons report!" Lucas tackled me, complaining loudly, while the restof our friends crowded around u

    The moment the call disconnected, Diana froze.Nathan had never hung up on her before.She quickly dialed his number again, only to hear the cold, automated voice:"Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off."She tried texting him instead, but he had blocked her.Diana's heart sank.In the past, no matter how angry he was, he had never done something like this.She immediately thought of the person closest to him—Lucas.Under the cover of night, she drove to Lucas's apartment in Brooklyn. The momentthe door opened, Lucas greeted her with a cold sneer."Well, well, if it isn't the Mafia boss paying off her debts with IVF. What areyou doing here?"Diana ignored his biting tone and demanded in a low voice, "Where is Nathan?""How should I know?" Lucas rolled his eyes and went to slam the door in her facewithout a second thought.Diana instinctively reached out to block it. The heavy door slammed shut on herhand. She let out a muffled groan, tears welling up in the corners of he

    Diana took a step back, her eyes looking as if they’d been slashed by a sharpblade. She stared at the hotel entrance in utter disbelief.The wedding... was canceled."Nathan canceled it," the staff member added in a low voice.Diana's mother's face instantly went cold. She grabbed Diana's arm. "What isgoing on? You're getting married today! Where is he? Wasn't this settled a longtime ago?"Diana's throat tightened. It took her a long moment to choke out a response. "Idon't know..."Her hand trembled as she gripped her phone. She dialed his number—Beep... The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.His phone was turned off.Her heart plummeted into an abyss. She rushed back to the apartment like amadwoman, but the place was completely empty.The sofa was spotless, looking like no one had ever sat on it. His medicinecabinet in the bathroom was gone, and half the closet was empty. Even the framedphoto of the two of them on the dining table was missing.She froze.He had l

"Myfriend is leaving town soon."Diana nodded and didn't press further.With four days left on the countdown, Diana brought home her wedding photos withIan.She held her phone in one hand, video-calling Ian, and proudly held up a framedphoto with the other. Her eyes were full of tenderness."Ian, our wedding photos are finally printed. The staff said we look amazing inthem."At that moment, I was just walking out of the kitchen with a glass of water.A flash of awkwardness crossed Diana's eyes. She looked at me, seeming like shewanted to say something.I glanced at the photo and forced a faint smile.
