He Saved Family Visits for His Sweetheart
A week before our wedding, my fiance, Michael Gordon, secretly accepts a classified government job. He departs in a hurry, only leaving me with a simple, "Wait for me."
Hope and expectation fill me as I hear that.
Yet, for the next three years, he spends his monthly visitation day with someone else. Even when my mother falls terribly sick and I'm in desperate need of money; even when I cry heartrendingly just for a chance to meet with him or make a phone call, the only response I receive is the guard's exasperated message.
"Mr. Gordon has already used up his visitation day. Please wait for the next month."
Dejected, I get ready to leave.
However, in the next second, Michael's childhood sweetheart, Liliana Zink, easily gains entry.
"Mr. Gordon specifically instructed us to bring you straight to his office. He really does treat you very well. It's been a year since your breakup, yet he still worries about you being in a bad mood and spends his visitation days with you."
As I move to rush inside again, the guard hastily stops me.
"Don't even think about it. As if Mr. Gordon could possibly have any money. All his allowance goes to Ms. Zink."
That night, I can't even afford to get Mom any painkillers.
This is all my fault for being so useless. Nevertheless, I don't want to wait any longer.
At last, Michael completes the project and returns, but I'm already married to someone else.
