Chapter 1

Justin's POVBy the time Sienna Jepsen and Harvey Gibson came downstairs, I was in so much pain I was barely conscious.Suddenly, someone opened the passenger-side door."Same as always. Harvey gets car sick, so let him sit in the passenger seat," Sienna said.I bit my lip hard, and my forehead was covered in sweat.I said, "Sienna, I don't think I can hold on much longer."But she didn't move an inch.I had to practically crawl into the back seat.Harvey's voice was weak and hoarse. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry for taking your seat again. I'll turn on the seat warmer. You'll feel better."He said that as he adjusted the controls with practiced ease.Sienna had bought this car with her first big paycheck.She said I wouldn't have to squeeze onto the subway anymore.But ever since Harvey mentioned that he got carsick, he was always the one who got the passenger seat whenever she had to choose.Right now, I lay weakly in the back seat, unable to say a word.When we ar

By the time I finished surgery and came out, Sienna and Harvey were already gone.Harvey posted an update on his social media. It was a photo of him sitting in Sienna's car, eating a hot dog with chip crumbs scattered everywhere.The caption read, "The hallway was freezing, so we're waiting for you in the car."I never thought Sienna could tolerate such a mess. She was so obsessed with cleanliness that she once couldn't even stand me eating a piece of bread in the car.I laughed quietly and liked the post.Then I called the wedding planner, Carrie Lynch, and said, "I'd like to cancel the wedding we've been planning."Carrie sounded regretful. "You've spent almost two years planning this wedding. Why cancel it?"I looked at the two people smiling affectionately in the photo and laughed bitterly."I don't want to get married anymore."Along with the wedding, I let go of my obsession with marrying Sienna.Instead of getting into Sienna's car, I hailed a cab nearby and went home.

Sienna went quiet, a look of disbelief crossing her face.She stared at me for a moment, then scoffed."Justin, is this your way of forcing me to marry you? It won't work on me," she said. "I have a lot of things to handle right now."I don't have time to think about marriage nor deal with your drama."She was too busy checking out restaurants with Harvey and traveling everywhere with him.Meanwhile, as her actual boyfriend, I had to wait my turn just to argue with her.At that moment, I actually laughed out of anger.Thinking I had calmed down, Sienna softened her tone a little."I'll pretend I never heard that, so let's forget this happened," she said. "I have a meeting soon. I need to pick up my secretary."It was obvious who that secretary was.I turned around and packed my bags, ready to move back home.That was when a female coworker accidentally sent some gossip into the company group chat.She wrote, "I just saw Ms. Jepsen shopping for suits with Harvey. She even he

The next day, I arrived at Sienna's office as promised with my resignation letter.As I walked closer, I saw my coworkers gathered outside the door, looking at me strangely.Sienna sat in her office chair, her expression dark with anger.Before I could even figure out what was happening, Harvey grabbed my arm. He looked disappointed in me."We were so close, Justin. How could you betray the company just to push me out?" he said. "Honestly, if you had just admitted that you stole the company's secrets, I wouldn't have called the police."I yanked my arm away from him."What are you talking about?" I asked. "When did I ever steal anything?"Sienna slammed her hand on the desk and shot to her feet. "You're still denying it? Who else could it be?" she snarled. "You just couldn't stand Harvey taking your position, so you destroyed his project overnight!"I froze for a moment, and my anger overwhelmed my judgment. "So what if I did steal it? That was my project!"Sienna thought I

Chapter 5

Third-person POVIn the office, Sienna listened to Harvey explain the project, but her mind was elsewhere.Harvey cleared his throat. "Ms. Jepsen, are you still thinking about Justin?"She responded with a dry hum."Did I really misunderstand Justin?" she asked. "He has always treated the company like his home and done his best. Would he really sell company secrets to a competitor?"Thinking of Justin's wounded expression left her feeling unsettled.Hearing that, a hint of guilt flashed in Harvey's eyes before he laughed awkwardly."Honestly, I never expected him to turn out like this," he said. "Maybe Justin really does hate me. After all, I took his job."Sienna comforted him gently. "You have your own plans for your career. How could this be your fault?"Besides, Justin and I really were planning to get married. It'll be easier for him to stay home."Harvey forced a stiff smile, and his eyes darkened slightly.Just then, a group of police officers arrived at the office.

Chapter 6

Sienna's mind went blank. Justin had blocked her."How can this be?" she asked.Sienna refused to believe it and called several more times. The result was the same.She sent him another message. "It was just a misunderstanding. Did you really have to block me? Can't we talk things out?"She tapped send, but the message failed to deliver."Justin…" Sienna mumbled in a daze.Harvey struggled to suppress his smile and tried to keep his composure."Looks like Justin is really angry," he said. "I'll go to your place tonight and apologize to him. He's a forgiving person, so he'll definitely forgive me."Sienna ignored him. Her thoughts were in chaos.Justin had never blocked her before, and he had never ignored her for this long.…When they got off work that evening, Harvey got into the car with Sienna."I'll apologize to Justin properly. He'll get over it," he said. "But I really can't lose this job."Growing more irritated, Sienna stressed her point again. "I've made my decis

Chapter 7

Justin's POVThree months passed in the blink of an eye, and I was doing well at my new company.Sienna also transferred the 300,000 dollars back to my account and wrote a message.It read, "I know you were innocent. When are you coming back?"Her late apology meant nothing to me anymore.I never replied and focused on my work again.…On a quiet afternoon, Carrie called me again. "Mr. Hunt, we need a few more details about your wedding attire so our designer can create a custom design."I asked in confusion, "Didn't I already cancel the wedding?"Carrie continued, "But Ms. Jepsen told us to go ahead with the wedding. She said you two just had a fight and would make up soon."She's been hands-on with every part of the wedding. You're one lucky guy."Hearing that, I almost laughed out loud.If I were really such a lucky guy, I wouldn't have left everything behind and moved overseas.I replied with absolute certainty, "Tell Sienna I'm not marrying her. She can marry whoever

Chapter 8

Sienna narrowed her eyes, clearly not expecting my response."Justin, do you really have to say something so cruel over such a small matter?" she asked. "Is it because I made you pay 300,000 dollars?"As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and transferred 500,000 dollars to me.Then she asked, "Is that enough?"Without hesitation, I slapped her phone away.The world around us fell completely silent. All I could hear was my own breathing.Sienna picked up her phone from the ground without showing any anger."Or was it because of something else?" she asked. "Just tell me what it is. I'll explain, and then we can put this behind us."She said it so casually, as if all our past arguments would be fixed in a single day.But that would never happen again.I smiled bitterly."There's so much proof that your feelings for me have changed. I don't want to bring it up anymore because none of it matters now.""I haven't!" Sienna immediately protested. "Justin, what makes you think my f
