All Chapters of You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Zac let out a low, satisfied laugh. “I’ll be more gentle next time. I’ll grab you some ointment later.”As his voice faded into the distance, Liz lowered her gaze and stared at the broken lipstick in her hand. Her face showed no emotion.She dropped the snapped lipstick into the trash, then opened the second drawer of her jewelry box. Only a few scattered pieces remained.It used to be packed with jewelry—hundreds of pieces, all gifts from Zac. But ever since he started cheating, she began throwing one away every time he disappointed her.In the beginning, she did it slowly, hesitating each time. But over time, she discarded them more and more quickly. Now, there was almost nothing left.Just like her love for Zac. It had once flooded her heart like a rising tide. Now all that remained was numbness and quiet resignation, nearly drained to nothing.She picked up a delicate gold necklace with a tiny cat paw charm. It was a gift from their third anniversary.Back then, Liz had been

Zac looked at her with a faint smile, clear admiration in his eyes.“You look beautiful. It suits you.”Their eyes met across the room, and for a moment, the love between them was impossible to miss.But the irony was unbearable.This was supposed to be her wedding dress fitting with Zac. And yet, with Xena clinging to his side, Liz suddenly felt like the outsider. Like she was the one intruding.Her fingers tightened around the edge of her gown. Something inside her gave way—like a thread pulled too tight finally snapping.She lifted her dress and walked slowly toward Xena.Xena saw her coming and smiled even more brightly, tilting her head with practiced sweetness.“Miss Smith, your is absolutely gorgeous. When I saw it, I couldn’t help but want to try one on too. You don’t mind, do you?”Smack!Without hesitation, Liz slapped her hard across the face. Her voice was calm and measured. Each word dropped with weight. “What do you think now? Do I mind?”Zac’s expression cha

Jane had never planned to pay Xena any attention. Honestly, she wasn’t worth the energy.But earlier, Xena had been sitting right behind them at the restaurant, loudly bragging to her friend. She claimed that when Zac went to the bridal boutique with Liz, he brought her along too. Not only did he let her try on wedding dresses too, but he even pushed Liz aside for her.That alone was enough to make Jane’s blood boil. And when she remembered how quiet Liz had been that day and the red, swollen ankle she noticed later, everything suddenly clicked.Jane didn’t have Liz’s patience. Giving Xena just two slaps? That was Jane being polite.Zac’s expression darkened. “This is between me and Liz. You have no right to interfere.”As he spoke, his cold eyes landed on Liz, who had just walked up. His expression was full of contempt.“I thought if I gave you a few days, you’d cool off. But instead, you ran off and told Jane about what happened at the boutique just to pick a fight with Xena?”

Now that the photo of him and Xena was out, everyone just assumed she was Zac’s girlfriend.In the past, Liz would have picked up the phone the moment she saw it, demanding that he clear things up. But this time, she stayed quiet. She wanted to see what he would do if she said nothing. Would he let it spiral out of control, or would he step in and set the record straight?She put her phone down and calmly returned to her work.She thought she would be distracted all day, but surprisingly, the photo didn’t affect her. If anything, she was more productive than usual.Toward the end of the day, she checked her social media feed. The trending post from that morning had already been wiped clean. Neither Zac’s personal account nor Voyager Tech’s official page had released a statement.There was no way he didn’t know what was going on. His silence spoke volumes.Their relationship had never been publicly announced, but people close to them knew. Now, by saying nothing, he was essentiall

After witnessing how deeply Zac loved Xena, Liz could no longer lie to herself.Whatever feelings she had for him had already been worn thin over the years. After everything they had been through, there was barely anything left to hold onto. She no longer had the strength to keep trying.“He will come around,” Susan said firmly. “Just give him one last chance. If he lets you down again, I will not ask you to stay anymore.”She paused, then added softly, her eyes full of hope, “Just think of this one chance as me calling in the favor from when I saved your life. Will you do that for me?”Liz sighed quietly. Deep down, she knew this would not change anything. All she was doing was postponing the inevitable.How could two people who didn't love each other possibly make it work?But when she met Susan’s pleading eyes, she finally gave a small nod. “Alright, Ms. Green. If Zac ends things with Xena within a month, I will forgive him.”She said it even though she knew Zac would never c
