Novel & Cerita Breaking Off The Engagement

It suddenly occurred to me that I still hadn't given the relatives and friends who cared about me a proper explanation for the broken engagement. Simon was performing so passionately online. If I stayed silent, it would almost look as if I were in the wrong. It was time to draw a line. I opened my social feed. No photos—just a short, direct statement.

"Do you have any idea what kind of event this is? Every important name in Boston is in this room." I cut him off. "The engagement is off." I took a deep breath and walked off the stage. Chaos broke out behind me. Connor stood there, face dark, frozen. No one moved. Only Sophia ran after me. "Charlotte." She caught me in the hallway and grabbed my hand. Her voice was frantic. "Charlotte, what happened? You're scaring me." "Did Connor do something? Tell me. I'll tear him a new one." She said it so naturally.

"I didn't mean to sleep all day. I'm sorry to be such a rotten house guest." "No worries, doll," Casey said. "If you slept that long, you needed it. After dinner, you and I are going out for a little girls' night." A few hours later, over craft beers at a nearby bar, Casey looked at Maggie intently. "Okay, girlfriend, now spill. What the hell is going on?" Maggie stalled, sipping her beer. "I, um, broke off the engagement." "I assumed as much. Tell me the part I don't know."

I took a sip of my drink. “ Well, I am glad you came to find me before I could. You know the circumstances surrounding our engagement so I am not surprised you would do something like this. ” she shrugged. “ I said I did not. ” I growled. She laughed. “ No need to get so defensive. I won't beat around the bush anymore. Let's break our engagement. ” ********************************************************* I pulled the door open and stalked out, not caring about the loud bang it gave as it closed. I clenched my fists and resisted the urge to drive them against the wall and make it collapse like all my expectations.

Chloe screamed, covered her ears, and sank to the floor. “Turn it off!” Adrian finally shouted, lunging backstage. “Turn it off right now!” But my cousin had already locked the control room. The recording began to loop. Again and again, it exposed Adrian’s lies. I watched the two of them fall apart, then slowly removed the heirloom engagement ring from my finger. “Adrian.” He stopped and turned toward me, his eyes bloodshot.

I ask Ashley, knowing I needed to get my head checked for even considering any of her ideas. “There are a few ways to get a guy to call off an engagement. One, you can make him stop liking you, two, you can do some very embarrassing things that would affect his public image which in this case is very important to Roman, and three, you could disappear, which is out of the picture due to lack of money.” Ashley completes while taking a large sip of her wine directly from the bottle. “Gee, thanks for reminding me I'm broke.” I say in a melancholic tone, taking the bottle from her and taking a swig directly from it.

“I’m no longer interested in this engagement.” The words hit like ice water. “What?!”

“I’m so glad to hear that, Mom. You’re doing amazing.” She reaches over and grabs a hold of my hand. Her skin against mine brings tears to my eyes. “I wouldn’t be doing this without the help of you and Liam, so thank you.” I swallow hard and drag my bottom lip between my teeth. I’m unable to meet her warm gaze. “Um, yeah… about that.” “What’s going on, dear?” Mom asks. “Is everything okay?” I exhale a long breath. “I, uh… broke off my engagement with Liam.”

I instinctively answered. Shawn's voice came from the other end of the line. "Sonia, what games are you playing this time? There's a limit to throwing a tantrum. Don’t you know that today is our engagement day? You're embarrassing me by doing this!" Britney softly comforted him, "Sonia, could you put aside whatever you're doing for now?" My heart ached uncontrollably when I listened to Shawn's indifferent and ruthless words. I held my chest and listened to Shawn's accusations.
