The employee went quiet."But the suit was tailored specifically to your measurements. You were very particular about those alterations. Don't you remember?" they asked.Of course, I did. Out of everything involved in planning this wedding, that suit was the one thing I hadn't compromised on.At the same time, I remembered something else. Rowena had been leaning against the doorway, scrolling through her phone, when I'd mentioned wanting to try on my wedding suit.She hadn't even looked up as she replied, "That won't be necessary. Lucas already tried it on for you. You two are about the same size."There it was once more.Lucas already tried it on for me. The wedding favors were the kind Lucas liked. He had even picked the colors for the floral centerpieces. And whenever the wedding planner reviewed the schedule with me, it seemed like every other sentence began with, "Lucas suggested…"If someone hadn't known any better, they might have assumed Lucas was the one marrying my f

I left with my suitcase, checked into a hotel, and started applying for jobs.Unlike Rowena and the rest of her wealthy friends, I needed a paycheck to support myself.A week later, Rowena was discharged from the hospital. I blocked her number and decided that whatever I had once owed her, I'd repaid it.Then, late one night, I came across an article trending online.Someone had left poisoned bait near an office building, killing several cats. One of the photos showed an orange cat being placed inside a black plastic bag.I hadn't even finished reading the article when someone started pounding on my hotel room door.When I opened it, Rowena was standing in the hallway, her eyes bloodshot with rage. She shoved her phone in front of my face. The same article was on the screen. "You did this, didn't you?"I instinctively defended myself. "No, I didn't."Then, her gaze dropped to the phone in my hand.I still had the article open, and I'd accidentally enlarged the photo of the d

My phone was turned off. The call went straight to voicemail. When Rowena finally spoke, her voice was so hoarse that she barely sounded like herself."Hansel, I had the wedding set up the way you wanted. Please stop being mad and come back, okay?"She stared at the screen, waiting for my familiar profile picture to appear, but it never did.She sent another message. "I changed all of it. Don't you at least want to see?"A red exclamation mark appeared beside it.Everyone turned to look at Rowena."Rowena, have you lost your mind? Do you really love Hansel that much?""Lucas has waited for you all these years. Are you seriously going to choose—"Even Elena looked stunned. She had never seen her daughter so rattled before."Is Hansel really that important to you?" she asked.Rowena said nothing.Instead, she stared at Lucas, her gaze so intense that he instinctively took a step back."Did Hansel really head to the hospital last night?" she demanded.Lucas shrank under her

When I opened my eyes again, hers was the first face I saw.She sat in the chair beside my hospital bed, the collar of her silk blouse slightly askew and her long hair loosely pinned up, with a few strands falling against her neck. She was hunched forward with both elbows braced on her knees, looking utterly drained.I pulled my hand out of hers.The movement immediately caught her attention, and she looked up at me."Hansel, I changed the flowers and the desserts. Everything's the way you wanted now. Once you're better, we can have the wedding again."I turned my head and looked at her. "How long was I out?""Three days."She choked up. "I deleted the group chat and blocked all of them. I'll never see Lucas again. And about your mom… I'm sorry. I got there too late. Can you forgive me?""I want to see my mom," I told her.Rowena's eyes grew even redder. "I'll take you.""No," I said. "I want to go myself."I pushed back the covers, only for a sharp pain to shoot through m
