Semua Bab Marry Me in Three Days, Or Never: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Joseph's POV"You know I've always seen marrying you as part of my future. Now just isn't the right time. I still have so much to achieve, and I'm just not ready to start a family," Whitney explained, as if that settled everything.As she spoke, she reached for my hand the way she always did, meaning to fasten the watch around my wrist.Ever since we started dating, whenever Whitney did something that hurt me, she would buy me a gift to make up for it.But in the past, no matter how expensive the gift was, she would always look at me with genuine guilt. She'd offer it carefully, sincerely admitting she was wrong, and would hope to coax a smile back onto my face.She had never been like this before—so composed and detached, her eyes holding nothing but the cold certainty of someone completely in control, without a trace of real tenderness.This version of her felt like a complete stranger.I turned my head away, avoiding her hand and stepping out of her reach before she could pul

Joseph's POVWhitney's anger flared even hotter. "A blessing? Do you have any idea how guilty Kaiden felt all night after you liked that post? He kept apologizing to me, worried he'd given you the wrong idea."It struck me as so absurd that I couldn't help laughing."Whitney, if Kaiden actually felt guilty, he'd be apologizing to me instead of putting on a show for you. Either way, you and I are already over. Whatever's going on between you two has nothing to do with me anymore. Whether he feels guilty or not is none of my concern," I scoffed.Whitney glared at me, practically spitting the words through gritted teeth. "Fine, Joseph. You think you're so tough? Let's see how long you can keep this stubborn act up."With that, she waved her hand and snapped at me to get out.Yet less than ten minutes after I returned to my desk, a personnel-change announcement popped up in the company's internal group chat.I was stripped of my position as Director of Project Management, and Kaiden

Whitney's POVI froze on the spot, a wave of panic crashing over me like never before.For seven years, I had always known exactly how much Joseph loved me. I had been so certain he would always hold out his heart and wait for me in the very same spot. No matter how much I neglected him, I believed he'd always be there, guarding our home and keeping our promises.But this wedding invitation shattered every bit of my complacency.I stumbled back a step and frantically dialed Joseph's number, only to be met with a cold, automated recording telling me my number had been blocked.Refusing to give up, I tried calling him on WhatsApp—only for the call to die instantly, a single gray checkmark frozen on the screen.I scrambled through every platform I could think of to reach him, only to find myself completely blocked across the board. He had left me absolutely no way back into his life.My heart sank like a stone. I rushed out of the apartment in a blind panic, a single thought domina

Joseph's POVWhitney showed no intention of leaving. Instead, she took a step closer, her face etched with desperate humility."Joseph, please don't say things you don't mean just because you're angry. I know I messed up. I neglected you, ignored your feelings, and let Kaiden blindside me," she said, her words tumbling out in a rush."But you have to believe me. I saw him for who he really was. I fired him first thing this morning, and he'll never show his face around us again.""I'll even put the IPO on hold," she added desperately. "I'll make the arrangements right now. I'll push back all my business plans. I don't care about any of it anymore. I just need you to call off the wedding and not marry Clara."As she moved closer, my dad stopped tying my tie and fixed her with a chilling glare that cut her off instantly."Ms. Pearson, relationships don't work like that. You can't expect someone to stay exactly where you left them just because you've finally decided to turn back. Jos

Joseph's POVI didn't stand up right away. Instead, I calmly straightened my suit.It was time to bring our years of entanglement to an end.The commotion outside grew louder, and Whitney's voice drifted into the room."Joseph Gibson! Come out! We were together for seven years! Can you really just throw it all away?"Have you forgotten the days when we first started the company together, living on instant noodles in that basement? Have you forgotten the first time we celebrated your birthday together, when you swore we'd stay by each other's side forever?"Joseph, I know I was wrong. I know Kaiden deceived me, and I know I neglected you for far too long. Just give me one more chance. Please, can we just start over?"Her voice cracked with despair and bitter defiance as she screamed my name over and over, dredging up the history she had cast aside for so long.When my mom heard the commotion, she rose to her feet and strode outside."Whitney, haven't you caused enough of a scen
