In front of everyone.” His eyes widened in horror. “Vera…” I glared at him, “What did you just call me?” “I mean, Jewel. But you're being ridiculous,” he stepped closer, shaking his head, “I have a dignity to uphold, I can't do that in front of all these people.” “No?” I tilted my head. “My father and my brothers will be thrilled to know that my pathetic husband is here.” I turned away and walked into the crowd. “Three. Two. One.” I counted quietly.

he cracked, his chords shamelessly revealing all of his vulnerabilities. “Why?” “Because I don’t want it to remind you of the kind of shitty marriage we had.” “Then why did you keep it?” He breathed shakily and cupped his palm around my cheek. “To remind myself…of the kind of life we could have had when I should have loved you.” Tears moistened my eyes. If only he knew that he wasn’t the only one who had dreamed about that kind of life. I took the ring, startling him. Whatever he thought that I was going to do with it, I did the opposite by returning it to the drawer. I’m never going to wear it again because to me, that ring symbolizes our broken marriage.

It was completely destroyed. The woman stomped on my fingers, and I gasped at the sharp pain. "You're the cheap woman engaged to Kylo, aren't you? Dressed up like that, who exactly are you trying to impress?" I looked up sharply, instantly understanding what was happening. This was Kylo Winston's childhood friend, Nora Cullen. Before returning home, I investigated the two of them. Marriage required caution, after all. When I discovered their affair, I decided to come back in person and call off the engagement.

It's fine to fool around with someone like Zachary, but it's gonna be draining to be with him and attend to him. She paused momentarily, then continued, "You're different, Tom. You've always been gentle, and you can put up with how unreasonable I am. You're a good fit as my husband. "Don't worry. We can register our marriage again a month later. It's been your dad's biggest regret that he didn't get to attend our wedding ceremony. When the time comes, let's hold a banquet for his sake." Before she finished speaking, her phone vibrated. As soon as she glanced at it, a smile crossed her face. "Zach said he's here. He's picking me up to go for a drive. I'm leaving."

“I’m here for you, Mom. I love you.” But Elaine’s eyes remained distant, searching for a husband who would never return. As tears streamed down Kate's cheeks, she realized that some memories, no matter how fragile, were too painful to let go. * * * Kate stared at the wedding band glinting on her finger, its presence both comforting and suffocating. She had entered a contract marriage with Sebastian—a decision made in haste, driven by her mounting debts and a desperate need for stability. Their arrangement was simple: maintain the facade of a loving couple for a year, with each of them pursuing their personal goals.

I grabbed her hair and twisted the bloody locks in my hand, I banged her head on the wall again and again. "He is my husband, only mine". Her painful screams filled in the room as she cried in pain. I brought her face closer to mine, blood dripping from her head. "He is mine" I spat on her face, and grabbing her hand I stared at the diamond ring in disdain, he gave this to her. He broke our marriage. I tried to pull out the ring from her finger, but as if it was stuck, it didn't come out "he will never be yours" I screamed while tears flowed from my eyes.

I watched him walk away, leaving me standing there, alone with the haunting realization that my life had just been ripped from my hands. But the worst part? I didn’t know how to get it back. "Did I just marry a man who sees me as a possession rather than a wife?"

“You walk away. With your name cleared, your business secured, and enough money to start over.” I should’ve walked away. But instead, I asked, “Why me?” He paused. And for a second — just one second — I saw something in his eyes shift. A flicker of something softer. Sadder. But it was gone before I could name it. “Because you don’t break,” he said. I felt my throat tighten. “You saw the man you were supposed to marry betray you,” he continued. “And you walked out with your head high. You didn’t cause a scene. You didn’t fall apart. That kind of strength is rare.”

"I promised my mother I would hear you. Now that I've heard you let me say it because I'm only going to say this to you once. When I was a tiny boy, Father, you were the first to break my heart, and I see that you don't care that the woman you are asking me to marry shattered my heart into a million pieces. The pain was so great that I didn't think I could ever fall in love again with anyone else. Some years ago. I began to believe you were right after what Candance had done to me. Maybe I wasn't worthy of being loved. So I stayed lonely and single all this time." "Dexter! That's the past! Stop living in the past!" His father urged him agitatedly.
