Semua Bab Shattered Love: Her Suicide Text Was a Lie: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"Sienna, this is a huge milestone for Declan, so what did you get him?""Don't tell me you're wrapping yourself up as the present!"The crowd whistled and jeered as several hands pushed the two of them together.Sienna Caldwell stumbled, losing her footing and falling right into Declan Reeves' arms, where his hand landed squarely on her chest.Instead of pulling away, he gave her a firm, deliberate squeeze.Sienna let out a breathless, playful gasp, burying her face into his chest. "Stop it. You're hurting me."Declan's lips curved as he tightened his grip. "Come on, what's my present? If it's not exactly what I wanted, I'm not letting up."Just then, Sienna fished a key out of her pocket and placed it in his hand."This apartment is right by the hospital where you're interning, so consider it my gift to you."That was the exact apartment she and I had bought just a little while ago to be our future home.We had agreed that she would cover the down payment, and I would handle

Sienna's eyes widened, and she hurriedly let go of my hand. "Is it really that bad? I mean, when we first met and hiked that exact trail, I didn't think it was that cold at all.""Right," I replied flatly. "That's because you got lost the second you stepped onto the mountain, and I rescued you almost immediately. This time, I was stuck out there for a whole day."She gently touched my hand again, pulling a tube of ointment from her pocket to carefully rub it over my skin."Spencer, you've been acting so weird tonight," she said. "What's wrong? Are you really that mad at me?"I shook my head, keeping my mouth shut.She cleared her throat and pressed on, "Look, I brought you food, and now I'm doing first aid on you. When has a rich girl like me ever done anything like this for anyone? No matter how angry you are, you should be over it by now."I pulled my hand out of her grasp. "I'm honestly not mad. I don't care about any of that anymore."Only love could make a person care.Onc

Sienna's scream stunned not just the group, but me as well.I was leaving, which should've made her ecstatic. Why was she acting as though she couldn't bear to let me go?"Sienna, what's wrong? Did I say something to upset you?" Declan asked, his face the picture of hurt.Sienna turned toward him, her face flushed with fury. "Why did you move all your stuff in here without asking me first?""Spencer told me last night that I could move in today, so I thought—""Yeah, he's right," I chimed in. "I'm the one who said it. They didn't do anything wrong."To my surprise, Sienna's eyes suddenly welled with tears. She stepped toward me and clutched my sleeve. "Spencer, this was supposed to be our home. Are you really just throwing it away? And what about me? Are you throwing me away, too?"I calmly brushed her hand off and flashed her a smile. "Of course not. Didn't you say it yourself? I love you to pieces. And true love means wanting the other person to be happy, so I'm completely s

Josephine was two years ahead of me in school and had served as my student mentor when I first enrolled.She was an exceptional student from a wealthy family, yet she possessed none of the typical rich-girl arrogance. Instead, she was incredibly kind, like a supportive older sister.Back when I was preparing to ask Sienna out, Josephine was actually the one who had helped me draft my confession speech.Being with her always gave me a sense of long-lost family affection.My grades were also stellar, so before she graduated, she asked our professors to look out for me. She was actually the one who put in a good word for me at the hospital abroad, which led to my invitation to intern.However, she had never really liked Sienna. When I turned down the offer a while back, she told me, "She isn't right for you, Spencer. It's a shame to throw away your future for her."At the time, I had said, "Sienna is the most important person in my life, and I'm willing to give up anything for her a

Tears streamed down Sienna's face in an instant, and she pleaded, "I was wrong. I didn't mean to lie to you, Spencer. I just didn't know how to explain myself. I had too much to drink that night, and things just happened with him while I was completely out of it."For the sake of everything we shared all these years, please give me one more chance. I'll go get an abortion tomorrow, and I swear I will never see Declan again, okay?"Declan immediately pulled her into his arms. "Sienna, you can't be that cruel. That's a living soul. How could you bear to just kill it?""Shut up! Get out! Get out of my house right now!" she screamed hysterically."Sienna, I'm not leaving. I love you. Didn't you say you always liked handsome guys? That's why I went and got plastic surgery to match your taste," Declan argued. "That night in bed, you even told me that looking at this face turned you on."I turned around with Josephine, having no desire to watch another second of their theatrics.Just as
