In the seventh year of my marriage to Simon Heath, I finally walk away from him after his 32nd mistress shows up at my door. I join a classified government program and disappear from his world. Now he's falling apart and calling me non-stop. "Lily, I was wrong. Please come back." In the past, a single word of apology from him would have been enough to make me stay. But not this time. This time, he's bound to be disappointed.

I drag my suitcase out of the airport and walk straight into a massive billboard. "Welcome back, Jennifer Palmer, the great love of Ivan Olsen's life." The entire Internet praises him for having waited faithfully for ten years. A star-struck reporter shoves a microphone in my face and asks, "Ms. Palmer, are you moved that Mr. Olsen has remained celibate for you all this time?" I blink in confusion at her question. "Who's Ivan?"

My girlfriend is the true heiress of a wealthy family, yet she suffers from severe paranoia. She's convinced that everyone is out to exploit her. She never believed in my love. In her eyes, I stayed with her only for status and money. To prove my sincerity, during our seven years together, I never spent a single cent of hers. I handed over every paycheck I earned. As for myself, I couldn't even afford a few dollars for a taxi. Every day, I walked five kilometers to work. Then one day, my mother was in a sudden car accident. The doctor called and told me to come see her for the last time. The hospital was thirty kilometers away. There was no way I could make it on foot in time. Left with no choice, I asked my girlfriend to transfer me thirty dollars for a taxi. She flew into a rage. "Simon, thirty dollars is your entire monthly living expense. How dare you ask me for that much all at once? I almost believed your feelings were genuine. But now I see—you're no different from those gold-diggers!" In the end, I never made it to see my mother one last time. When I returned home in a daze, I found my girlfriend throwing a birthday party for her childhood sweetheart. He was wearing the latest luxury watch, his face full of smug pride. "This is the one you bought at an overseas auction, right? Worth thirty million," he said. "You wouldn't even give Simon thirty dollars for a taxi. You're really generous with me." My girlfriend smiled indulgently. "It's only thirty million. It's not like I can't afford it. "Besides, how could Simon ever compare to you? Today, he dares to ask me for thirty. Tomorrow, he'll dare to ask me for thirty thousand. "I've always known it. He's been with me just to take my money." I stood there, frozen, my heart sinking into the abyss. 'It's fine. I don't want her money anymore. And I don't want her, either.'

A week after my engagement, I was delivered an unusual engagement gift. My phone chimed. I glanced down and saw a push notification from a social app. [Fell in love with a female livestreamer right before my engagement. I feel guilty toward my older girlfriend who's about to become my fiancée—how should I deal with this?] The user ID was "SimonLovesClaire."

Ketika pacarku, Simon, berlutut untuk melamarku untuk ke-66 kalinya, aku akhirnya tersentuh oleh keteguhannya dan menerima lamarannya. Namun di hari menjelang pernikahan, dia tiba-tiba mengatakan bahwa dia ingin memiliki anak dengan adik tirinya, Fiona. Aku merasa itu tidak masuk akal dan bertengkar hebat dengannya. Yang tak kusangka, di hari pernikahan, aku berdiri di venue sambil memeluk buket bunga, menunggu selama tiga jam, tapi yang datang hanya sebuah kalimat ringan darinya, "Pernikahan ditunda." Hanya karena hari itu dia dan Fiona sudah janji untuk melakukan program bayi tabung bersama. "Fiona sejak kecil disiksa oleh ayah kandungnya. Seumur hidup dia tidak mungkin menikah dengan seorang pria. Aku hanya ingin memenuhi keinginannya untuk punya anak." "Ini cuma program bayi tabung, bukan seks sungguhan. Kamu jangan berpikiran sempit, bisa nggak?" Telepon pun diputus secara paksa. Dan aku ditinggalkan begitu saja di venue pernikahan, sendirian menghadapi tatapan ratusan tamu dan kamera wartawan. Ayah sangat marah sampai masuk ICU. Aku pun menggenggam tangannya sambil menangis di sisi ranjang. "Ayah, Ayah benar. Aku tidak akan menikah dengan Simon lagi." "Aku janji, minggu depan aku akan pulang dan mengambil alih perusahaan keluarga."
