I have to go to the police station to bail two people out at 2:00 am. The young woman this time is different compared to the others in the past. She keeps her head hung and is as docile as a rabbit. Melvin Norton, my boyfriend, says with a smile, "I've just won her heart over. This is your junior colleague, Stacy Decker. "I joked about wanting to try having car sex with her. She dared not do that, so she grabbed the steering wheel from me. That's how we ended up crashing into the greenbelt." Stacy raises her head to glare at Melvin with red-rimmed eyes. But that's when the hickey on her neck is revealed. I just nod with a blank expression. Then, I begin the procedures fluently. The police officer in charge of the fine is already used to seeing me at this point. He asks casually, "How many times have you done this so far?" I'm temporarily taken aback by the question, resulting in me pausing in my actions. Last year, Melvin had cheated on me with a saleswoman. The year before, it was a nurse. The year before that year was the gym trainer… Suddenly, I lose all interest in this stupid game. "This is the ninth and the final time."

Jocelyn's POVI only started getting to know Adrian after marrying him. He wasn't the kind of person who would woo me with sweet nothings and romantic gestures.He moved my suitcase into the master bedroom the first day after our marriage and said, "We'll each live our own lives and not interfere with each other."However, the next morning, I would find a bowl of overnight oats on the table, made just the way I liked it, garnished with all my favorite fruits.He wouldn't greet me in the morning. He wouldn't tell me he loved me. He wouldn't tell me he missed me. However, he would show up at the hospital on rainy days. Instead of waiting in the car at the entrance, he would go down to the underground parking and text me to say he was here.If I had to work overtime or work graveyard shifts at the hospital, he would always leave out a light for me in the living room, not too bright so that it wouldn't be too glaring for me.He would also bring home little gifts and souvenirs for me

Third-person POVEarly on Monday morning, Melvin clocked in at the company as usual. However, when he pressed his thumb against the thumbprint sensor, the red light flashed once.He pressed his thumb to the sensor again, but the light still remained red. The third time he pressed it, the screen went completely black.The front desk receptionist glanced at him before hurriedly lowering her head again, pretending to organize the mail.Meanwhile, the HR director, Robert Taylor, came looking for Melvin personally. Three of them sat down opposite him, and it was quite a scene."This is your severance package, Melvin Norton, and your notice of removal. Kindly sign it.""But I did nothing wrong! Why are you firing me?"Robert sighed and said, "You've been with us for three years, Melvin, so I'll just be frank with you. Vaughan Group is our largest client, and they specifically said that they did not wish to see you again in any future setting."Melvin's face paled."Why? Just because

There was no grand ceremony at the wedding on the third floor. There were also no officiants and no exchange of rings, or anything of the sort.Adrian said that he didn't like anything too fancy or over-the-top.He just got a clerk from the town hall there to register the marriage for us. We filled in the forms, signed our names, and had the wedding licences officially stamped. The entire process didn't take more than ten minutes.Adrian then took both copies of our marriage certificates, putting one in my purse and the other in his pocket."You're my wife now," he said. His usual stoic face suddenly twitched for a second as his lips curled up.This was the first time I'd ever seen him smile.Downstairs, Melvin's wedding was still going on as usual, but the atmosphere had changed now.Someone sent a photo of the wedding invitation to the one on the third floor, with both Adrian's and my names on it, to the company group chat, and everyone immediately exploded."What the hell?"

The following Saturday at Orville Towers, a pink flower wall stretched from the elevator entrance to the banquet hall entrance on the first floor.A pink-and-white balloon archway added to the ambience, and a meticulously retouched wedding photo was displayed on the registration table.Stacy wore a rented mermaid wedding dress as she sat in the dressing room, touching up her makeup and putting on the third layer of mascara.Meanwhile, Melvin stood at the entrance greeting guests. His suit was also rented, and his tie was pink—a color that Stacy had picked out for him.A third of his groomsmen didn't turn up, and half of the ones who did had their noses buried in their phones the entire time.However, when the elevator came to a stop on the third floor, everything was quiet and elegant. There were no flower walls or balloon archways.Instead, two long rows of flower baskets lined up from the elevator to the entrance of the ballroom, Adrian's initials written on every basket. The f
