Chapter 1 Behind Closed Doors

The moment he kissed her, the entire venue exploded with excitement.It wasn't a fake angle, and it definitely was not a quick, harmless peck either. It was a deep, passionate kiss, lips and tongues tangling together.I froze where I stood, my face draining of all color."Oh my god… are they really just acting?" one of the bridesmaids beside me whispered softly. "They're way too into it."Indeed, they were way too into it, so much so that even I almost started believing they were the real couple.Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd below the stage, and someone shouted, "One more!"Noelle hurriedly pushed Blake away and turned toward me with a flushed face. But she had barely opened her mouth when Blake grabbed her by the shoulders and kissed her again.I lowered my head and stared at myself in the bridesmaid dress, bouquet still clutched in my hands. Tears nearly spilled from my eyes.The unbearably long kiss finally ended.Noelle immediately ran over to me. "Dawn, I'm

Chapter 2 The Diary That Revealed Everything

Panic flashed across Blake's eyes, but he quickly composed himself and replaced it with confusion. "You're doubting me? Noelle and I grew up together. We've known each other so long that we just sometimes forget our boundaries. It's not what you think."Even now, he still refused to admit it.Thinking back carefully, the signs had been there all along. Ever since I started dating Blake, no matter where we went, it was always the three of us together.He could never remember my birthday, yet every year at midnight, he never failed to send Noelle birthday wishes right on time. I could not eat spicy food, but every dish he ordered was loaded with chili because Noelle liked it.Whenever Noelle got her period, he would immediately give her time off work. When I was in so much pain that I nearly slammed into walls, he merely told me to "tough it out" and reminded me not to be late for meetings.Noelle and I had both stayed by Blake's side while he built the company from scratch. However

Chapter 3 The Wedding Would Go On

I spent the entire night reading that diary.Two years. More than a hundred plane tickets. Every single page carried Noelle's name.…By morning, I was standing outside Noelle's apartment.Blake's leather shoes sat by the entrance, and laughter drifted lightly from the kitchen. The same Blake who had never once cooked for me was now wearing an apron, making soup for Noelle.Noelle wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. "You should go check on Dawn. She must be really upset being alone right now."Blake's tone was indifferent, like he was talking about someone completely unimportant. "I dare her to be upset. You're pregnant, and she didn't even bother taking care of you. Now, she expects me to coax her?"Noelle… I don't think I ever liked Dawn that much. Not in the past, not now. She's never compared to you."Those words pierced straight through my heart.Five years together.I had stayed by his side while he built his company from nothing. I watched him rise step by s

Chapter 4 An Insane Decision

That same night, I flew back home. The moment I landed, I texted my groom. "I'm back. We'll get the marriage certificate tomorrow."The reply came instantly. "Okay."Back then, Blake had dumped every single wedding arrangement onto me, claiming he was too busy with work and told me to make all the decisions myself. So I took the liberty of changing the groom.…On the wedding day, I walked downstairs in my wedding dress to find a black bridal car parked outside the house. Blake had somehow rushed back as well, a bouquet of red roses in his hands.His expression was much softer than before, even carrying a hint of nervousness. "Dawn, what happened before was my fault. I'm all yours today. I'll cooperate and finish the wedding with you, okay?"Before I could answer, he continued laying out conditions. "But you have to promise me you won't make things difficult for Noelle anymore. She still cares about you."The way he said it sounded almost charitable. And it was obvious he wa

Chapter 5 Her Groom

Dozens of Maybachs lined the roadside in perfect formation. The car doors swung open, and a tall figure rushed toward me, pulling me tightly into his arms."Dawn, I'm sorry. I came too late."…More than ten minutes later, Blake arrived at the hospital, storming into the emergency room like a madman. When he found Noelle sitting unharmed in the hallway chair, he finally let out a breath of relief. "Didn't you say you were in a car accident?"Noelle wrapped her arms around him, avoiding his gaze. "I… I was just scared and wanted you to stay with me. The car only got scraped a little. It wasn't serious."Blake froze.Suddenly, he recalled the blood on Dawn's face. He remembered the way she had jumped from the moving car without hesitation.'It must have hurt like hell when she jumped,' he thought, and a chill shot up from the soles of his feet, cold enough to freeze him to the bone.Sensing something was wrong, Noelle clung to his arm and choked back tears. "Blake, I'm sorry. I

Chapter 6 A Moment of Weakness

The moment Eugene kissed me, I did not push him away.When the kiss ended, I turned to look into the crowd below the stage. Even through the sea of people, I still saw Blake standing at the entrance of the ballroom.The wedding march continued looping in the background as we stared at each other with reddened eyes.After what felt like forever, Blake finally started walking forward.He pushed through the crowd until he reached the front of the stage, staring at me in disbelief. "Dawn, have you lost your mind? I'm your husband! How could you marry someone else?"Eugene stepped in front of me protectively, his gaze full of contempt. "Husband? You registered your marriage with another woman. What right do you have to call yourself her husband?"Blake rushed forward and grabbed my wrist, his voice hoarse. "Dawn, just wait for me a little longer. Once the baby's born, I'll divorce Noelle—"Before he could finish, Eugene seized his wrist hard enough to make Blake's face turn pale from

Chapter 7 The Man I Loved at Nineteen

After the wedding ended, Eugene brought me home.To help me put on this act, he had spent a fortune buying a villa as our "marital home." The interior had been designed exquisitely, every detail matching the style I loved.A bouquet of red roses sat in the living room with a card tucked inside. When I opened it, I instantly recognized the handwriting."I'm sorry. I came too late.—Eugene."He was apologizing on behalf of his 19-year-old self.The tears in my eyes finally spilled over—not from heartbreak nor grievance, just a bitterness so deep I could not even describe it.My ex-boyfriend was none other than Eugene.Back when we were 19, we had loved each other fiercely. He was a wealthy heir born with a silver spoon in his mouth, while I was just the daughter of an ordinary working-class family.He had been my first love, and I had been his. The days I spent with him were the happiest of my life.Every day, Eugene would wait outside the back of my classroom for my lessons to e

Chapter 8 Final Goodbye

I slowly pulled myself out of the memories.Just as I raised my hand to wipe away my tears, Eugene hugged me from behind. "Why are you crying?"I immediately denied it. "I'm not crying."He gently turned me around and wiped my tears himself. But the gentler he was, the harder I cried. In the end, he simply pulled me into his arms and let me cry my heart out.…That same night, I sent my resignation letter to Blake's assistant and officially quit my job.Only a few minutes after sending it, Blake called me.I hung up.He called again. I hung up again.He kept calling anyway.In the end, I blocked his number completely, but then, he started bombarding me with texts."Dawn, I realized how wrong I was. Please give me one more chance. Don't resign.""Dawn, I've figured it out. I don't care that you married someone else, and I don't care whether you can have children or not. I just want you.""Divorce now. We're already even. Let's start over, alright?"I didn't reply. Instead,

Chapter 9 That Depends

Eugene waited for me outside the hospital.He had a ton of work to see to, yet he still carved out half a day just to drive me there.The moment he saw me, he pulled me into his arms as naturally as breathing."Don't see them ever again. I hate seeing you this upset."I pointed at myself and laughed lightly. "Do I really look that sad?"He studied me for a long moment before smiling and shaking his head.I patted his hand. "Thanks for worrying about me, but they stopped affecting me a long time ago."Eugene intertwined our fingers tightly. "Dawn, I don't want to keep pretending anymore. Can we… not get divorced?"According to our original plan, we were supposed to quietly get divorced first while continuing to act like a married couple in public. A few years later, I would tell my parents the truth.It wasn't that I had never considered getting back together with Eugene. However, after everything that had happened, I was emotionally exhausted. I simply did not have the strengt
