New Year, New Bride? Sorry, I'm Already Married
I've returned to the country on the night of New Year's Eve.
At the welcoming party, my girlfriend, Sabrina Monroe, suddenly produces a diamond ring and goes down on one knee.
"Although this proposal is delayed by three years, our love is never late. Will you marry me, Colin Lawrence?"
All of our friends begin cheering on us. Everyone is practically waiting for me to nod and accept Sabrina's proposal with tears in my eyes.
They've completely forgotten about the fact that I prepared a lavish marriage proposal for Sabrina on New Year's Eve three years ago. Back then, she had told me that she'd show up on time.
But that night, I was the only one present in a fancy suit. I waited the whole night for Sabrina, and yet she never showed her face.
All I received was a phone call. "Matthew has fallen ill. I'm too busy taking care of him, and I can't leave his side at all. Let's put a raincheck on the marriage, yeah?"
So, I left the country on New Year and accepted the marriage alliance my family had arranged for me.
This means I'm already married to someone else for three years.
