MasukNatasha's POVFelix made a beeline for his destination. He strolled hesitantly along the streets that were permeated with the scent of red wine and cinnamon and realized that he couldn't muster up the courage to step into my company.After all, only I existed in that sealed-off world.Fortunately for Felix, he saw me exiting the building just as North Enrio's snowflakes began to pile up on his shoulders. I was surrounded by my colleagues. I bid them farewell and spotted Felix's familiar figure when I turned around. I was shocked, but I quickly regained my composure.When Felix noticed that I was looking at him, he lifted his hand uneasily. However, before he could do anything else, he saw me nod at him slightly, treating him as nothing more than a stranger.As a result, he lost the courage to approach me and only dared to trail after me from afar for a very long time.When I was about to miss the bus, Felix wanted to sprint forward to stop it, but I was already bravely waving a
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
Third-Person POVThe thin sheet of paper trembled for a long time in the silence, sounding like a final cry for someone.Tears dripped from Vera's eyes and splattered on the letter, falling on top of the dried tear stains."Natasha…" Vera mumbled as she gripped the letter tightly, her fingertips turning white from the amount of force she was exerting.An inexplicably sour sensation spread through Felix's chest as he stared at the elegant handwriting on the paper.Natasha used to be someone who always listened to him and Vera. She also used to claim that she was the happiest person in the world with a goofy smile on her face, and yet she had been forced to grow her own wings after their betrayal.And the first thing that she did after growing her wings was to leave them forever.Why would Natasha do that to them? How could she bear to do such a thing?"Calm down. I'll look for her. She's probably hiding in a corner and crying by herself right now," Felix said while fixing a smil
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 POVSomeone was banging on the door.Vera was barely awake when she opened the door. She glanced at the clock when she noticed that it was the makeup artist, asking, "Do I need to get my makeup done so early?""Of course! You have to be the prettiest one during the ceremony today!" the makeup artist exclaimed.She hauled her huge makeup box up into her arms and squeezed past Vera into the room. She then began to hastily place all her tools on the vanity. The photographer who was in charge of recording the entire ceremony also began to fiddle with his equipment.Vera was still a little stunned by the sudden development. "Shouldn't the bride be the most beautiful woman during the ceremony?" she thought to herself.However, her possessive streak also reared its head at that moment. She looked down, her long lashes casting shadows on her face. She forced herself to smile and didn't correct the makeup artist. With the wedding planners ushering her along, she entered the
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
