Abandoned Fiancé: My Finger for His Dream
Because of her first love's piano competition, my fiancee, Ashley Blake, postpones our wedding for the 17th time seven years into our relationship.
On the eve of the competition, she chops off my ring finger just because Marc Tyson claims I injured his hand and ruined his ability to compete.
The pain of losing my finger leaves me crying in agony, but she simply holds him in her arms and stares me down with indifferent eyes.
She says, "Stop pretending, Troy Clinton. You're a grown man. What's all this fuss over losing a finger? Besides, you merely lost one finger. Marc has lost the dream he spent his whole life chasing! This is what you owe him."
Her cruel words shatter my heart into tiny pieces.
She has forgotten that my fingers are also meant to dance across piano keys.
"The wedding next week is postponed," she says dismissively while covering Marc's reddened fingers.
She adds, "This has nothing to do with Marc. It's simply because you can't wear a wedding ring with a missing finger anyway."
Clutching my bleeding hand, I finally wake up to reality.
From this moment onwards, we owe each other nothing.
