At that, Molly slowly raised her eyes, a light of unbearable pain shining in them."Before we were supposed to get our marriage license, he had wanted to get matching tattoos. Back then, all I cared about was my research. I thought spending hours on a tattoo was a waste of time..."He always used to tease me for being so no-nonsense. He said I was clueless about romance and hated having my picture taken..."Her eyes suddenly grew damp."After we broke up, I told myself I couldn't stay the person he used to complain about. So I had to do every one of those things perfectly..."Tyler's hands had long since clenched so tightly that his knuckles had gone white.So all the romance and thoughtfulness he'd believed in had been nothing but changes she made for Dominic. He was just a pitiful test subject."Tyler, I'll give you everything I own, but I can't marry you. No matter what you do, my decision isn't going to change."Tyler didn't say anything for a long time. He just hung his he

Molly held Dominic's phone tightly to her chest like a precious treasure.She just lay slumped on the floor, her fingertips absently stroking the phone back and forth.It was strange.She went through the entire phone but couldn't find a single selfie of Dominic.Or anything like a farewell letter.After a long time, she found a list in his notes app: a bucket list of things to do before he died, covered in checkmarks.Every item had been checked off except the last one: Take my own memorial portrait.Almost instantly, Molly understood why Dominic had suddenly stopped that day when there was only one shot left on the roll.So that was it...He'd been saving it for his own memorial portrait.And she'd forced him to use it on a group photo for her wedding instead.Molly sat on the floor with her head bowed, her expression hidden.After a long while, like a woman gone mad, she slammed her red, swollen forehead against the wall with all her strength, over and over.She regrett

Molly slapped herself hard across the face twice, her tears spilling down together.A couple of them even splashed onto Dominic's face, and she clumsily wiped them away with her sleeve.Suddenly, an angry voice rang out beside her. "Molly, you killed my grandfather and my sister with your car, and you promised you'd marry me. Are you trying to back out now?"Molly didn't answer Tyler. She just knelt in front of drawer 303 without moving, as though she'd fallen asleep.Furious, Tyler lunged at her and grabbed her by the collar.But when he saw her face, he froze completely.The woman in front of him was no longer the radiant bride with striking almond-shaped eyes he'd seen that morning.Her eyes were bloodshot, the corner of her lip split and bloody, and her face red and swollen, as if someone had beaten her.He resented her bitterly, yet his heart ached for her all the same. "What... happened to you?"Only then did Molly seem to come back to herself.She looked up blankly, he

The doctor stared at her in disbelief, a little stunned. "Ma'am, if you're Mr. Hillier's girlfriend, you should know he had late-stage stomach cancer... He'd been fighting it for three years. He was already at his limit."His stomach was riddled with holes. He only had a couple of days left as it was, and on top of that, he drank high-proof vodka last night. By the time he got to the hospital, he was already gone."Molly's pale lips trembled over and over. Her throat felt stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't get a single question out.Only the doctor's voice went on."He collapsed outside a hotel, bleeding from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, foaming at the mouth, unable to speak. It was a passerby who couldn't stand to watch and called him an ambulance..."The doctor sighed and shook his head. Having said his piece, he walked away.Molly was left slumped in the hallway, dazed, like a lifeless lump of dead flesh.In a fog, she walked into the morgue and stood beside drawer 303

At first, Molly thought the man had to be joking."What nonsense are you talking about? He was perfectly fine yesterday..."The man on the line showed no impatience at her outburst. He simply repeated himself."Ma'am, are you Mr. Hillier's girlfriend? I see he has you listed as his emergency contact. No one has come to claim his body at the hospital. Could you come down?"Since the call was on speaker, Tyler heard every word.He snatched the phone and hung up. "Scammer!"Molly clutched her chest, gasping for air as a sharp pain suddenly burst inside her heart.Tyler patted her back and shot the phone a resentful glare. "Don't think about it. It has to be some scammer. He was taking pictures of us yesterday. How could he suddenly just drop dead?"Come on, the new tuxedos just got here and I haven't tried them on yet. Come help me pick!"With Tyler cutting in like that, Molly pushed the call to the back of her mind, even though she still had her doubts.She watched him try on s

Impatience flickered in Molly's eyes. "If you die, I'll see you buried myself."Whether you take the picture or not, and whether or not you faked that report, none of it changes the fact that Tyler and I are getting married."For the sake of the portfolio I delivered for your photography competition three years ago, stop making trouble."I froze. It felt like my heart had been blown to pieces with dynamite.Even my voice trembled uncontrollably. "You think... I'm playing games to break you two up?"The corners of her lips curved slightly, the look she gave me sharp and cold.She said nothing, yet she'd said everything.I wanted to laugh.I wanted to cry.But in the end, I just fought desperately to hold back the tears threatening to break free.After a long while, she looked at me as if she felt a twinge of pity and added in a low voice, "I don't want him to know even the slightest thing... about you."I let out a heavy breath.I wanted so badly to tell her that the last fr
