"Let’s get married as soon as possible," said my fiancee, Clementine Knaupper, out of nowhere during dinner. I froze with the spoon in hand. Over the last three years, I proposed to get married seven times, and she turned me down all seven times with all sorts of reasons. Then, she told me with a shifty look in her eyes, "I… I’m two months pregnant. The pregnancy is going to start showing soon." I set aside my spoon and stared intently at her. "You were on a business trip two months ago, weren’t you?" She gulped before stating in a troubled voice, "The baby… is my assistant, Stanley Brickley’s. I had too much to drink that night, and I thought it was you. "The doctor says if I get an abortion, it will be difficult for me to have children again. After we get married, we can announce my pregnancy. We can tell people it’s our baby. "Then, I will send Stanley and the baby away. They won’t come back after that." I looked at the woman I had loved for seven years, and for the first time, I felt like I was looking at a stranger. "Clementine, let’s call off our engagement."

She stopped sending me texts after that.Last I heard, she went back to Ambrough. She seemed not to be coping very well after Stanley left.However, it was none of my business anymore. What’s in the past should stay in the past.I had spent the last seven years of my life knocking on that door. I was not going to look back.A year later, it was spring in Hafort. The flowers had bloomed earlier than expected.My wedding with Juniper was set for May. We were going to get married in a small chapel by the sea. We did not invite many guests. It was just going to be our families and some close friends in attendance.A few days before the wedding, I received a letter. It was from an anonymous sender. My name was written on the cover.Upon opening it, its only contents were a picture. It was a picture of Clementine and me on my eighteenth birthday. She was wearing a white dress, while I was dressed rather casually. We were both smiling happily.Written on the back of the picture was a

I looked at her. She was the woman who had once sworn to spend her life with me.I had known her for the past seven years.I had seen her at her best and at her worst. I knew what she was like when she was flourishing and when she was worn out.But now, she looked like a stranger to me."Clementine, go home.""I won’t!""Go." I shut the door in her face. "And don’t come back."She wailed for a long time before the security came to take her away.The same night, Juniper came to have dinner with me."Is she gone?" she asked.I nodded."Are you sad?"I thought for a moment before shaking my head. "No, I’m not. It just feels… like I just took off a coat that I have been wearing for many years. I’m not used to how it feels, but it doesn’t feel bad."She looked gently at me. "Luke, can I ask you a question?""Go ahead.""Would you say yes if I proposed to date you now?"I was caught off guard.She chuckled. "Just kidding. I know you need time.""Juniper," I suddenly blurted

When I looked at Stanley, I felt surprisingly calm deep down."I know she loves me, but love isn’t all that there is."He froze."She may love me, but she loves herself more. The fact that she loves me is the reason she thinks I would forgive her, no matter how she treats me. It’s the reason she takes my patience for granted." I fixed a look at him. "Stanley. I want you to know that I never resented you."He looked up at me."You’re only twenty-two. You’re a young man who used the wrong approach to love someone. But it’s not the same in her case. She was the one who was supposed to protect me, but she ended up pushing me away."Stanley cried.I handed him a tissue. "You should go. Don’t do something like this ever again."He nodded before turning to leave.I watched as his figure disappeared into the crowd.Soon, my phone rang. It was a text from Juniper. "Are you free tonight? I’d like to take you somewhere."I replied, "Sure."That evening, she drove to pick me up.We dr

I took a deep breath. "Clementine, I’m done knocking."With that, I shut the door.She stayed outside for a long time. I heard her knocking and calling my name until her voice turned sore. Eventually, it turned into choking sobs.Still, I did not open the door.Juniper invited me to dinner with her the same evening. We went to the rooftop restaurant at the hotel. It boasted a panoramic view of Hafort’s skyline at night.When I arrived, she was already there."Is your hand feeling better?" she asked."Much better."As she proceeded to pour me tea, I noted how delicate her movements were."I heard Clementine is here," she spoke calmly.I nodded."Did you see her?""Yes.""What did she say?""She begged me to go back."Juniper picked up her teacup but did not look at me when she asked, "What did you think of it?"I turned to look at the city at night. Thousands of lights, and yet not one of them was mine. "I’m not getting back with her. What’s done is done, there’s no use

Mom froze.I looked calmly into her eyes."Didn’t Miss Keegan from Hafort mention an engagement with me in the past? I’m interested."Mom stared at me for what seemed like ages before releasing an exhausted sigh, "Have you thought about it thoroughly?""Yes."My phone vibrated again. It was Cle

I looked at her.Her eyes were frayed with red. I could tell she was anxious.I suddenly had an impression that she looked like a stranger."Alright. One week." With that, I grabbed my coat and walked out."Luke!" She called out after me, but I didn’t turn around.It was raining outside. I got

The color drained from Clementine Knaupper's face as she cried out, "No way! Have you forgotten how important our arranged marriage is to us?"I clenched my fist and had to force the tears from coming out as I calmly met her gaze."Fine, I'll let you take your pick."Option one. We call off the e

The airbags deployed instantly like a bomb going off. The smell of gunpowder came rushing into my nose.The car was overturned, leaving me hanging upside down with blood streaming down my forehead and dripping onto the roof of the car.Meanwhile, someone was punching at the car window.“Sir! Sir,
