On the day of my wedding 16

He looked haggard, and his eyes were red. It looked like he hadn’t rested in a long while

If this had happened in the past, I might have pitied him. But now, I was just annoyed. We broke up. Why are you here?” 

Brandon’s eyes reddened even more. I never agreed to break up! We just fought.” 

I don’t need your permission to break up,I said calmly

I then turned to my family, who were standing to the side helplessly

I heard what you said that day.” 

Mom, Dad, and Adrian instantly paled, and Brandon’s eyes widened as if he realized something

I continued, voicing the truth I had pieced together, Nina is the one Brandon likes, but because he comes from an average 

background, you don’t think he’s good enough for your precious daughter

So, you introduced him to me instead. That way, there would still be someone who would dote on Nina in the family. Isn’t that 

right?” 

NNo, it’s not like thatMom tried to deny it, but she couldn’t argue. Dad and Adrian lowered their heads in shame

As for Brandon, he desperately tried to pour his heart out to me

I did like Nina at first. BBut that was only in the beginningWe were about to get married. How could I not have feelings for 

you?” 

I nodded, indicating I understood. Just as a glimmer of hope lit up in Brandon’s eyes, I mercilessly delivered the final blow

But you didn’t show up to our wedding. So, we won’t ever get married again.” 

No, that’s not true. We can still have another wedding. I’ve already ordered your wedding dress from your favorite designer

I’ve also contacted the wedding planner. As long as you say the word, we can hold a new ceremony right away. I promise it’ll be 

even better than the last one.”

Chapter

Brandon placed his hands on my shoulders, his voice pleading. Sadie, I’m serious. Listen to meI was just used to taking care of 

Nina. That’s all. You’re the person I truly love! I never thought you would actually leave. I’m the bastard. I hurt you. I’m the one 

who let you down!” 

I gently pushed his hands away. It would be a lie to say I wasn’t moved as I looked into his reddened eyes

After all, Brandon was the one who had been by my side when I had wanted to feel loved and needed affirmation the most

But it was also precisely because of that that I could never forgive him

Forgiving him meant letting down the version of myself who had excitedly looked forward to our wedding

You love me? No, love doesn’t look like this. Love is always feeling indebted, not taking my love for granted, and repeatedly letting me down

Love is about mutual understanding and compromise, not one person making all the sacrifices. Brandon, there’s no going back for us. You know what I’ve always wanted more than anyone.” 

What I wanted was devotionto be someone’s firm, unwavering choice. But it was something he could never give me

Brandon staggered back several steps as if he had been struck by lightning. He appeared despondent as he covered his face. Judging by his posture, he was probably crying

I didn’t plan on comforting him. He was just an ex and wasn’t worth my time or energy

I had already made myself clear. As long as he didn’t loiter outside my home and ruin my mood, that was all that mattered

I was about to leave when my family called out to me. Only then did I remember that there were three other people with us

Feeling slightly irritated, I rubbed my temples before glancing at the three hesitant figures in front of me. I asked pointblank, He came here asking to get back together. So, what’s your reason?” 

Dad let out a sigh. Sadie, we read your diary. We finally realized how much you’ve suffered all these years.” 

His tone was solemn as he brought up their past struggles, as if all this had been some kind of terrible misunderstanding

He spoke about how Nina had been gravely ill as a child and nearly died. Since I hadn’t grown up at home with them, they had poured all of their love into their younger daughter

He also mentioned how too many years had passed when I had finally returned home. They didn’t know how to act around me, and they had forgotten how to love me

Finally, he said they had spoiled Nina, which led to her scheming against me. They had been completely unaware

I listened quietly without reacting

Mom’s expression was filled with shame. We found out why Nina had an allergic reaction. It was because of the peanuts she ate in the salad. It wasn’t because of you

Chapter

I’m sorry for falsely accusing you, Sadie. I even slapped you. Did it hurt?” 

+15 BONUS 

These were words I had longed to hear when I had been a teenager. Every time I had been falsely accused, I would imagine that 

one day my parents would uncover the truth and tell me it wasn’t my fault

But it was too late now. I was no longer the young girl who had held out hope for them

Seeing my lack of reaction, my family looked even more miserable. Mom and Dad wanted to say more, but I had run out of 

patience

Alright, are you done talking? You can leave now. I still have things to do this afternoon. Stop wasting my time.” 

HHow is this a waste of time? We’re apologizing to you!Adrian grew agitated

He couldn’t understand why I was so cold to them. He thought all of this was merely a misunderstanding. I used to love them so 

much. How had things come to this
