Chapter 1

Twenty minutes later, Natalie and Benjamin returned with their marriage certificates.Their friends crowded around them, cheering and making a fuss.Veronica said, "Now that's what you call a real goodbye to being single."Kayden held up his phone to take pictures, grinning from ear to ear. "Natalie, you two standing together look even more convincing than a couple in a wedding trailer."I stood nearby with nothing but a pair of underwear covering me from the waist down. The bar's air conditioning blasted against my bare legs, and I shivered from the cold.But Natalie took off her jacket and draped it over Benjamin's shoulders.He immediately tugged it lower around himself and laughed. "Hey, don't give this to me. I'm tough as nails. Logan might see us and get the wrong idea."Despite what he said, he made no move to give the jacket back.Natalie laughed and scolded him, "You just threw up. Why are you still trying to act tough?"Benjamin gave her a playful punch. "Fine, fine.

I didn't go back to the private room. When I got home, I sat on the couch for a long time.Dawn was approaching when I finally remembered to take off my engagement ring.The moment I slipped it from my finger, I noticed a string of numbers engraved inside the band. It wasn't my birthday. It was Benjamin's.…After sunrise, I took the ring to the jewelry store.The employee checked their records, and his expression turned awkward. "Mr. Wilson, Miss Natalie personally confirmed the engraving. She said it was a very important date."I stared at the numbers as my fingertips slowly went cold.The employee continued explaining in a quiet voice, but I couldn't hear another word. Tears burned my eyes.I had worn this engagement ring for so long, yet another man's birthday had been engraved inside it.On my birthday that year, Natalie had suddenly gone to the countryside with Benjamin because he needed to clear his head. She had only sent me some money and told me to buy whatever I wan

I went straight to the bridal store.When I arrived, Benjamin stood in front of the mirror in the so-called backup suit. Natalie sat on the couch with her phone in hand, but her eyes remained fixed on him.Benjamin turned around and asked with a grin, "Hey, how do I look?"Natalie scoffed. "You look terrible."But I clearly saw her lower her head and open the camera on her phone. When Benjamin turned away, she secretly snapped a picture. Then she quickly flipped her phone face down in her palm as if nothing had happened.That small gesture hurt more than any compliment could have. My throat felt clogged with wet cotton, so tight and bitter that I couldn't speak.So she did secretly save someone's best moments. Just not mine.The day I tried on my wedding suit, Natalie had said something had come up at work and told me to decide for myself. I had sent her pictures, and three hours later, all she had replied was: [Not bad.]Now Benjamin had merely tried on a suit, and she could s

When I got home from the bridal shop, my arm was still throbbing. The bleeding had stopped, but the bandage clung to my skin. Even the slightest movement tugged at the wound and sent a sharp sting through my arm.The living room lights were on, but the pictures on the wall had changed. The pre-wedding photo of Natalie and me that had once hung there was gone.In its place was a photo from the bar last night. Natalie and Benjamin stood together, holding up their marriage certificates. Benjamin wore a broad grin, while Natalie gazed at him with a smile in her eyes.Beneath it was a note from Veronica.[Backup photo for the wedding reception. Logan shouldn't mind, right?]I stood in the living room and stared at it for a long time. Everyone knew I'd mind. They just didn't care.Tears fell without warning. I raised a hand to wipe them away, but the more I wiped, the more they came.This was supposed to be the home Natalie and I would share after we got married. Yet as I stood there,

I went to a nearby clinic to have my wound treated.When the doctor cut away the gauze that had stuck to the dried blood, he frowned. "Why did you wait this long to come in?"I looked at the cut on my arm and fell silent for a moment before saying, "Something came up."The doctor didn't ask any more questions. He simply lowered his head and began cleaning the wound.In the end, I needed three stitches.By the time I left the clinic, dawn was about to break.I got a room at a nearby hotel and turned my phone back on. The screen was flooded with missed calls from Natalie, Hannah, Kayden, and my parents.At the very top were two messages Natalie had sent half an hour earlier.Natalie: [Logan, where the hell are you?]Natalie: [What do you mean, you had the wedding planner change the groom's name to Benjamin?]I stared at the two messages for a while without replying.Soon, she called again.When I answered, her voice was low. "Logan, are you done with this?"I could hear the

I slept lightly. Less than two hours later, the hotel phone on the nightstand rang and woke me.The front desk said someone was waiting for me downstairs. My heart sank. I thought it was Natalie.But when I went downstairs, I found my mother waiting for me. She was already dressed for the wedding, and her makeup was slightly smudged.The moment she saw me, her eyes reddened. "Logan, you really stayed at a hotel?"I said nothing.She noticed the bandage on my arm and froze for a moment, then quickly looked away. "Don't worry about that right now. Come with me."I looked at her. "Where are we going?""To the wedding, of course." She was so anxious that her voice rose. "All the relatives are there. Your dad is holding everything together. Your sister said you're throwing a tantrum, and everyone's waiting for you. If you go back now, there's still time."I asked, "Isn't Benjamin already the groom?"My mother's face stiffened. "You only said that because you were angry. Who would a

At noon, it was time for the wedding to begin. I sat in my hotel room and opened Kayden's social media feed.He'd posted a video from the venue. In it, the emcee stood onstage with an awkward smile. The screen behind him read: [Natalie Cole and Benjamin Henderson's Wedding].The guests below whispered among themselves.Someone asked, "Wasn't the groom's last name Wilson?"Someone else laughed. "Young people really come up with all kinds of things these days. They got married last night, and now they're having the wedding today?"The camera shook before settling on Benjamin. He wore the white backup suit and stood near the side entrance with red-rimmed eyes, looking as though he'd been deeply wronged.Natalie stood beside him with a grim expression. Benjamin lowered his head and gently tugged at her sleeve.I couldn't make out what he was saying in the video, but I could almost guess.He was probably saying, "I'm fine. Go find Logan. Don't let me ruin the wedding."But the whit

I went to South Hampshire. A college classmate of mine ran a small studio there.When he heard I'd called off the wedding, he asked only one question. "Do you need a place to stay for a few days?"I said, "Maybe longer."He didn't ask anything else. He simply placed a spare key in my hand.…When the nurse changed the dressing on my arm, she asked how I'd gotten hurt. I told her a wedding dress rack had fallen on me.She smiled. "Getting hurt right before your wedding? That's a pretty bad omen."I lowered my head and stared at the bandage without answering. Bad omen or not, at least it reminded me that the wedding shouldn't have gone ahead.…Three days after I settled in South Hampshire, Benjamin called me.I didn't want to answer at first, but he'd changed his number. The moment he spoke, he used that same familiar tone. "Logan."I said nothing.After a brief pause, he spoke softly. "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not calling to brag. The wedding didn't happen in the end,

I eventually went downstairs. It wasn't because I'd forgiven her. I just thought there were some things that needed to be said clearly.When Natalie saw me, her eyes lit up. She took two steps forward, then stopped as if she were afraid of startling me. "Logan."I stood on the steps and made no move toward her.Her gaze fell to the bandage on my arm, and her throat bobbed. "Does it still hurt?"I looked at her. If she'd asked me that a few days ago, I might have cried. But now, all I could think about was how late the question had come."It's been taken care of."A trace of embarrassment crossed her face. "I was wrong about what happened at the bridal store. At the time, I thought Benjamin was more seriously hurt."I interrupted her softly, "You didn't think. You just noticed him first."Her lips parted, but no words came out.A cool breeze swept down the street.I remembered that night at the bar, when she'd draped her jacket over Benjamin's shoulders without even turning to

Chapter 10

Later, I moved to a new place and changed my phone number.A college classmate who worked at the studio helped me land a few wedding-planning jobs. Ironically, I was now the one helping other people get married.The first time I saw a groom trying on a suit, I felt strangely dazed.His girlfriend stood on tiptoe and carefully adjusted his bow tie. He smiled at her and asked, "Does it look good?"She looked up at him, her eyes bright. "Very good."It was such an ordinary exchange, yet as I stood beside them, my eyes suddenly grew hot.So this was what it felt like to be truly loved. You didn't have to keep asking for reassurance.Natalie came looking for me many times. She went to my old apartment, the bridal shop, and the restaurant I used to frequent.Kayden sent me a message.Kayden: [Bro, Natalie isn't doing well right now. Benjamin isn't doing well either. Our relatives found out that he and Natalie got married, and everyone's been talking about him.]I read the message w
