Love, Left Too Late
[Wanna do it?] I accidentally sent the message meant for my bestie to her brother, Gerald Cooper.
Ten minutes later, I received his reply. [In the Maybach downstairs. Come down.]
To my surprise, her brother was very well endowed too.
That night, things got heated and we almost lost control.
When we sobered up, he promised me that he would bear responsibility for his actions.
He treated me well and doted on me, giving me anything I asked for. However, there was only one rule: I must never admit in public that I was his girlfriend.
Five years later, he brought another woman home.
With his arm wrapped around the woman, he told me that she was his girlfriend.
I confronted him, asking, "If she's your girlfriend, then what would that make me? I waited five long years for you!"
He chuckled indifferently and said something that chilled me to my bone.
"Wait for me? Did I tell you to wait? Nyssa Bennett, don't ever fall in love with someone so desperately. It's terrifying."
So it turned out that my love for him was nothing but trouble.
From then on, I tried to live without him, let go of my feelings, and finally left him.
But one week later, when I was exchanging my vows with another man, Gerald was standing there in the aisle, looking up at me with reddened eyes.
