Jasper Eaton decides to ditch me at the altar just so he can meet up with Wendy Klein, his ex-girlfriend who abandoned him when he almost got crippled five years ago. All the guests are stunned, to say the least. I can only tug at Jasper's hem of his shirt while trying very hard to keep my expression intact. "Can you please stay with me now?" Mixed feelings cross his eyes, but he soon wrenches my hand off him, finger by finger. At the same time, he shakes his head. "I'm sorry, but I must go now. I need to ask Wendy why she was so heartless to me back then." Amid the crowd's shocked gasps and murmurs, Jasper leaves without even looking back. My dad, who has a bad heart, trembles violently out of fury. I can only stare in a shocked daze as he collapses to the floor shortly after. "Dad!" I break down on the spot. Still, I manage to send him to the hospital. There, I slump outside the emergency room. At that moment, my phone buzzes for a short while. Two new text messages have shown up on my screen. The first message comes from Wendy. "I told you that as long as I'm back, Jasper will never choose you. You lost again, Celeste." The second message comes from Jasper. "Give me 30 days. We'll break up for the time being. Once the period is over, I'll definitely love you and you only." My gaze is already hollow at that point. The smile curving on my lips is one of mockery and bitterness. This time, I will never lose ever again.

Chapter 1
The red light outside the emergency room had been on for three hours with no sign of change.Dad had heart bypass surgery the year before last. He had told me clearly that Jasper Eaton wasn't a good man, but I had stubbornly insisted on believing that Jasper loved me.Now, that certainty felt like a slap to the face—so hard it left me suffocating with pain.My mother, Dolores Norton, was crying beside me."What do we do? If your father doesn't make it, I—""He will." I cut her off, trying to convince myself as much as her. "Dad will be fine."But my voice was trembling. I had never been this scared in my life.Just then, my phone buzzed again. This time, it was a video sent by Wendy Klein.In the video, a disheveled Jasper rushed into a hotel room and confronted her."Why did you come back?"Wendy said nothing, but Jasper was the first to lose control, his eyes reddening."You left without a second thought back then, so what gives you the right to show up now and turn my lif

The doctor looked at me with surprise, then frowned. "I remember you. The last time you were here, you were so happy when you found out you were pregnant. So, why would you want an abortion now?"My expression stiffened for a moment as a bitter feeling welled up from deep within.A month ago, while Jasper was away on a business trip, my body had felt off. After an exam, I found out I was pregnant.I hadn't told him right away because I'd planned to surprise him with the news after our wedding today. But I never expected that Wendy would come back.He had fled from our wedding, making me a laughingstock in front of all the guests. I was still wearing the wedding dress, which only made me look all the more pathetic."I've just seen things clearly, that's all. Please make the appointment for me."The doctor sighed. "Alright. Tomorrow at 9:00 am, in the first operating room. Just give your name at the desk."I nodded and went back to the hospital room.When I unlocked my phone, our

Wendy's expression stiffened for a fleeting moment, but I saw it all too clearly.Jasper pressed his lips together.As I watched him hesitate, my heart sank further and further.Without waiting for him to speak, I turned around, grabbed Wendy by the arm, and pulled her out of the office.A crowd had already gathered."Celeste, you—" Jasper started to say something from behind, but I acted as if I hadn't heard a word.Right there in front of everyone, I pulled up the surveillance footage. The timestamp showed 12:23 pm. After everyone in the executive office had left, Wendy had approached my computer. The monitor displayed, with perfect clarity, every single move she made as she altered the contract.Jasper's expression turned grim. Gasps rippled through the onlookers."It really was Wendy? Why would she do that?""Why else? Have you forgotten Wendy is Jasper's ex-girlfriend? It's the ex framing the current girlfriend. Now it all depends on whose side Jasper takes.""My bet's

"Wendy." Jasper's voice was low and stern.His gaze lingered on my swollen cheek for three seconds, and just when I thought he would reprimand Wendy, he instead said, "I'm sorry, Celeste. I apologize on Wendy's behalf. As compensation, the wedding in a month will be even grander."Wendy smirked and wrapped her arm around Jasper's.My entire body went rigid, and my eyes stung so badly I could barely stand it.Before I could even respond, Jasper had already taken Wendy by the hand and walked away.The parking garage fell silent.I remained standing where I was, the pain in my cheek fading into numbness, and finally came to terms with one undeniable truth—Jasper didn't care how ruthlessly Wendy had abandoned him in the past. He knew she had hit me and schemed against me, yet he still loved her. Wendy was right. I had lost, completely and utterly.The first time I lost was three years ago. Wendy had sent me a text, telling me that Jasper kept a photo of her in his wallet and that

Chapter 5
Jasper took Wendy traveling and sightseeing. They didn't even set foot in the company once.The two of them held each other at the foot of Mount Alpenglow."Jasper, tomorrow is the 30th day. Our relationship is over, isn't it?"Jasper stiffened, his arms tightening around her abruptly. Yet, his eyes were clouded and unreadable. "Yes, I made a promise to Celeste, so I can't break my word again."Wendy showed no reaction, let alone any reluctance. Deep down, she was confident that the wedding was merely a formality. As long as she wanted it, Jasper would still side with her afterward. Still, she let her eyes redden and put on a show of being unable to part."Alright. Whether you love Celeste or not, I'll always be right here waiting for you."Jasper's heart softened, and he held Wendy even tighter. But then he recalled how every call and text he'd sent me lately had gone completely unanswered, and an irrepressible wave of anxiety and restlessness welled up in his chest.He had del

"Oh, my God! It's the divorce papers between Jasper and Celeste! They both signed them?""What's going on? If they're already divorced, then what's this wedding for? Is this some kind of game to them?""And there's an abortion report too! Look at the date—it was a month ago. That's the day right after Jasper ran out on their last wedding.""You're right. It really is!"The guests buzzed with heated discussion.Jasper stood completely frozen on stage, staring fixedly at the two documents with bloodshot eyes.Divorce papers? When had he signed those? Why didn't he know anything about it at all?And there had been a baby. I was pregnant? Why didn't I tell him? And why did I get rid of it?Everything went black before Jasper's eyes, and he felt himself on the verge of collapsing.Before he could react, the large screen crackled again, and a video appeared.This time, Jasper was even more stunned, for it was surveillance footage from the hospital of his paternal grandmother, Bridg

Chapter 7
To me, time was nothing more than the rising and setting of the sun and the ebb and flow of the tides.Five years had slipped by in the blink of an eye.This New Year marked the fifth year since I had brought Mom to Wheelport.When I first arrived here five years ago, I had no idea what lay ahead of me. All I knew was that I had to flee Princeville, which had become suffocating and agonizing.I never thought of myself as lacking. It was just that after graduating from the finance program at Everdale College, I had willingly buried my potential to work as a secretary for Jasper.Thankfully, after coming here, I met someone who helped me rebuild my life entirely.I stood lost in thought before the floor-to-ceiling windows.The office door behind me swung open, and the sound of familiar footsteps drew closer.The next moment, I was pulled into a warm and passionate embrace."What's wrong? Feeling down?"I turned around and wrapped my arms around Lucius Beltran."No, I was just

Chapter 8
I stood still where I was, as faces I had nearly forgotten slowly surfaced in my mind.Jasper rushed forward, but a grim-faced Lucius blocked him before he could get anywhere near me.Jasper froze. Only then did he notice the way my hand was intertwined with Lucius'."Who are you?" he asked."I'm Celeste's husband, and you'd better stay away from her."A thunderous roar filled Jasper's ears. His eyes flew wide open, his face going ashen as if he had been struck a devastating blow.Then, he looked down and saw Amber, who bore a striking resemblance to me."Is this your daughter?"I pressed my lips together and patted Lucius on the shoulder."Why don't you take Amber to the car first? I'll have a word with Jasper alone."Lucius didn't move.I found his protectiveness a little endearing. Rising on my toes, I kissed him on the cheek."Go on. I'll be fine."Only then did he pick up a bewildered Amber and make his way down the hill, glancing back every few steps.Jasper took in
