Chapter 1

I dragged three suitcases to the hotel by myself and took a cab. By then, I'd long since gotten used to the strange looks from passersby.After all, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.Once, when we'd taken a train to another city, Blake complained that it was too much trouble to go back to the hotel and drop off the luggage. Hence, Tiffany dumped all the bags on me.By the time I'd put everything away and made it to the tourist attraction, they'd already finished sightseeing.In the cab, I scrolled through my social media feed to kill time.The first post was from Blake. It had two pictures. One showed the clouds outside his window on the plane. The other was a side profile of Tiffany.The caption read: [The clouds are beautiful. Thanks, Tiffany, for upgrading me to first class!]He'd posted it just a minute ago, and Tiffany had already liked it. As for my posts, she'd never even looked at them, let alone liked one.The comments were already pouring in

I walked back to the hotel alone. On the way, my social media feed kept updating.Blake had posted another collage. Every single picture had been taken by Tiffany.She was always complaining that taking pictures was a hassle and that she was terrible at it. She almost never taken pictures of me. There were barely any photos of the two of us together in my camera roll. Yet the pictures she'd taken of Blake were beautifully composed, with carefully chosen lighting and angles.Blake left a comment beneath the post.[Thanks to my favorite photographer for these amazing shots!]The comments were full of praise.[So good-looking!][These are incredible!]So Tiffany wasn't bad at taking pictures. She just didn't want to take them for me.I ate the food that had gone cold, but it tasted like cardboard.…Six hours passed, and my phone remained completely silent.Tiffany hadn't sent me a single message. She was too busy showing Blake around all the tourist spots, taking pictures of

The words "break up" reached the tip of my tongue, but I swallowed them back. It wasn't because I couldn't bear to let go of all those years together. I simply knew Tiffany too well.She'd never believe I was actually breaking up with her. She'd only think I was angry.I pressed my lips together. "It's nothing."Tiffany casually grabbed a shirt and tossed it to me. "Get dressed. Don't keep Blake waiting too long."The moment I pulled on my shirt, she dragged me out the door.Compared to my plain clothes, Blake looked exceptionally sharp today. Standing side by side, the two of them looked far more like a couple than we did.At the tourist attraction, Tiffany bought anything Blake showed the slightest interest in without even glancing at the price.When a 3-dollar fridge magnet caught my eye for a second, she immediately said it was too expensive. By the time we'd made one lap around the place, the two of them had filled two large shopping bags.All I had was a bottle of water.

By the time I reached the venue, the show had already started.I thought I'd enjoy it, but instead, I checked my phone more than a dozen times.I was still waiting for Tiffany to call, hoping that, just once, she'd come and comfort me.Even if it was only once, maybe I wouldn't have lost quite so miserably.But the show ended, and she still hadn't sent me a single message. The only thing waiting for me was a new post on her social media.In the photo, the silhouettes of a man and a woman leaned against each other beneath the setting sun. It was romantic. Beautiful, even.The caption was only two words: [Watching the sunset.]She had time to watch the sunset with Blake, but she couldn't spare even a moment to call and ask how I was doing.I let out a bitter laugh that felt more painful than tears.When I reached the beach, Tiffany and Blake were already getting ready to leave. She didn't ask where I'd been.Instead, she immediately started scolding me, "Nicholas, what took you

When I woke up, there wasn't a single person by my side.After Tiffany found out I'd nearly drowned, she immediately contacted the marine rescue team. The doctor said I'd been incredibly lucky. If I'd arrived just a few minutes later, even a miracle wouldn't have saved me.Blake was in the room next door. He'd only swallowed a few mouthfuls of seawater and wasn't seriously hurt. He'd simply passed out at the scene.He and I had been brought to the hospital together. While I was at the operating table, fighting for my life as the doctors struggled to save me, Tiffany had stayed by Blake's side.The moment she found out I'd woken up, she hurried into my room. "Nicholas, you're finally awake. Thank God you're okay. Otherwise, I..."She pulled me into a tight hug, hot tears falling onto my shoulder. Finally, she rasped out a single word. "Sorry."I didn't say anything. I just sat there quietly and listened to her cry. I'd thought I'd be furious. I'd thought I'd slap her across the fa

Tiffany gently took my hand. "Nicholas, when we get back, let's just get married. It doesn't matter if my family objects. Once you've settled into your career, we'll get married. I don't want anything from you. All I want is to be with you."I turned over in bed without saying a word. More than anything, I'd always desperately wanted a family of my own.I had worked myself to the bone just so I could marry Tiffany. And now she was telling me she didn't want anything from me. All she wanted was to be with me.But instead of the happiness I'd once imagined, all I felt was bitter irony.…On the day we returned, Blake's parents had also bought first-class tickets. Once again, I was the only one flying economy.Eleanor helped Blake with his luggage and gently pinched his cheek, her face full of concern. "Look at you. You've gotten so skinny. Mom's going home to make you some soup."Blake leaned against her shoulder and laughed without a care in the world. "Mom's always the best."R

Chapter 7

Tiffany sent someone to check the flight records and finally discovered that Nicholas had gone to Loravia.So much time had already passed, yet she still thought he was angry.She immediately called him. After so many days of silence, he finally answered."Nicholas, why did you run off to Loravia by yourself? Don't you want me anymore?""Tiffany." His voice on the other end was almost unnaturally calm. "Let's break up."Tiffany froze, unable to move for a long moment. "Break up? Nicholas, are you serious?""Yes. I'm serious. We're breaking up." His tone remained completely flat, as if he were discussing something trivial.That only made Tiffany even more frustrated."Nicholas, don't say things just because you're angry. We've been together for so many years. There's no way we're breaking up. I don't agree!" she screamed into the phone and wished she could fly straight to him."Tiffany, I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm just letting you know that we're done."With that, he

Tiffany left. The moment I closed the door, I crouched on the floor and covered my face with my hands.During all those years when I was ignored and mocked, she was the only person who stayed by my side.She was the only one who ever stood up for me when I was bullied. The only one who made me feel like I wasn't alone.She'd been there through so many of my dark days. She was the only light in my world.I'd thought about staying silent. I'd thought about simply letting everything go, as long as she stayed by my side.But the memory of suffocating in the ocean was still too vivid. I never wanted to experience that feeling of abandonment again.…After that day, I threw myself into my studies. Whenever I wasn't working a part-time job, I buried myself in the library.I revised my thesis over and over. I repeated checked my experimental data.I earned straight As and had my research published in academic journals. My advisor even told me I was the hardest-working student he'd eve

Chapter 9

The next two years were incredibly busy. My graduate coursework kept me occupied from morning to night, and I chose the most challenging research track I could find. I spent nearly every day in the lab.Over the next three years, my drawers filled with certificates and awards, and I received the highest scholarship available every year.When I graduated, I was named an Outstanding Graduate. With a recommendation from my advisor, I landed a position at an internationally renowned company.In my fifth year there, I earned a promotion and transferred back to the company's domestic branch.…The day I returned home, my adoptive family's house was my first stop. I hadn't been back since I'd left to study abroad.My adoptive parents had called several times over the years, but when I stopped answering, they eventually stopped trying.The moment Eleanor saw me, tears welled in her eyes. "Nicholas... y-you're finally home? You haven't come home all these years. We were so worried about
