Wedding Canceled: I Caught the Perfect Affair

Natasha's POVThe atmosphere in the room turned cold and heavy as broken cries echoed in the air.Felix discreetly wedged his fingers beneath Vera's naked knees. The sounds of his skin scraping against the floorboards were deafeningly loud.I forced myself to smile as I reached out and helped Vera back to her feet, saying, "It's alright. I don't blame the two of you."Vera lifted her head and stared at me in disbelief. Her eyes glimmered with a mixture of surprise and confusion."R-Really?""Really.""Then, can you please proceed with the wedding? I promise to go somewhere far away where no one will find me as long as you're happy. I'll disappear from your lives forever," Vera exclaimed in a rush as if her life depended on it, pushing me into Felix's arms.Meanwhile, Felix, who used to be terrified of me being upset and would even lose sleep if I frowned slightly, simply stood rooted to the spot as he stared at her.He didn't hug me tightly and promise to make me happy like he

Natasha's POVThe house was pitch-black when I got home. I sent a message to Felix as I stood in the darkness."My colleague invited me to watch movies with her at her house. It's getting too late, so I won't be coming home tonight."Felix replied within seconds."Okay. Don't sleep too late. You have a weak stomach. Make sure to eat breakfast tomorrow morning."He didn't grill me with more questions like he used to.I knew that Felix wasn't coming home that night, so I pulled out my suitcase and began packing my belongings. I sat in a daze in the living room after I was done. I then waited until dawn broke on the horizon and hailed a cab to the bridal studio.…"You're here, Natasha.""Have you eaten breakfast yet? I brought some buns for you."Felix and Vera immediately approached me after I stepped into the bridal studio, making the sales assistants green with envy."You're so lucky. Your husband and best friend arrived ages ago to wait for you."The color drained from Ve

Third-Person POVNatasha was gone?Felix stood rooted to the spot, wondering if his ears were playing tricks on him.But it was the day of their wedding. Natasha had been looking forward to this day the most. Why would she leave?Vera's eyes were hollow when she said hoarsely, "Natasha… She's gone… She's really gone."Felix seemed to realize something and subconsciously clenched his fists."Gone? It's their big day today. Where could she have gone?" "We need to find her now. They still have a wedding ceremony to get through."The groomsmen were beyond panicked, but Felix and Vera were uncharacteristically silent. They finally realized that Natasha's forgiveness had been a ruse all along. She never planned to go through with the wedding."Are you telling me that she's not the bride? That's impossible. I won't get paid if I applied makeup on the wrong person!"The makeup artist hastily pulled out her phone and scrolled through the messages in the wedding planners' group chat.

Third-Person POVFelix and Vera moved in together a few days after they gave up on looking for Natasha.They had once fervently longed for such an outcome. However, although they no longer needed to sneak around and worry about what others would think about their relationship, they couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.Felix couldn't break the habit of buying three sets of breakfast in the mornings. He still kept the bottle of stomach medication stashed in his bag at all times, even though he had no reason to carry it around anymore.When it was time to pick up Vera after work, the smart navigation app in his car would still automatically select the address to Natasha's company.Meanwhile, Vera would subconsciously ask for 100 percent sugar whenever she ordered milk tea because Natasha preferred it that way. She preferred having spicy chicken wings, but she would still order honey-glazed ones out of pure habit.When she passed by a shop that was selling blind boxes
