Letting Go in Three Seconds
How long does it take to give up on a man you've loved for ten years?
It takes me 3 seconds.
The first second, I signed my name on the contract to become the chief designer of a renowned studio in Paris.
The second second, I lock away ten years of my youth in my heart.
The third second, I completely prepare to leave Levi's world.
My fiancé Levi is the heir of the Smith Group, the absolute aristocracy.
For others, he is untouchable.
But for me, he's the childhood sweetheart who, with a crooked paper ring he made himself for the first time in his hand, told me, "You're the only girl I'll ever marry, even if I have to wait a hundred years."
From that moment on, the only person I wanted to marry was Levi, and I never doubted that I would eventually marry Levi.
But on the day of our engagement, he disappeared.
I waited for a whole year, waiting for a message, a phone call, or a knock on the door, but nothing came.
Later, he finally appeared.
He stood next to a red Ferrari, holding flowers, and said that he still loved me, that he wasn't ready before, and begged me to give him another chance.
I almost believed him.
But at the same time, I received a provocative message from Levi's first love, Ruby:
[Aren't you curious where he went during the time he eloped from your engagement? I'm already pregnant with Levi's child, and he loves kissing my pregnant belly the most.]
I wiped away my tears, turned around, and applied to study in the Sorbonne University Faculty of Medicine, leaving only one sentence: "Levi, we're breaking up."
Learning that I was leaving, Levi went crazy.
He braved the heavy rain and blocked the entrance to my new place, his eyes red, asking me:
"Stella, if I make Ruby abort the child, can you come back to me?"
