Cheating EX proposed to me with a wedding ring, but I had married another man, he lives to regret It

When the woman Edward was supporting caused a scene in front of me I broke up with him He looked cold and indifferent as if he had everything under control Suit yourself you really think highly of yourself But he didn’t expect that I would move out of New York that same night A year later the big shot in the wealthy circle got married and sent an invitation to Edward He watched in the audience as I wearing a wedding dress completely fell apart Pushing open the door to the private room at White Manor the room was indeed lively Five girls were sprawling all over kneeling and sitting around Edward and his friends in the center In the dimness the beam of light fell on Edward’s fair face His golden glasses reflected the light and I heard someone speak Who’s that college girl who’s been clinging onto you lately Aren’t you afraid Irene will find out and get angry The crisp clinking of glasses echoed the person sounded noble yet cold in this place full of desire and debauchery but only a touch of redness could be seen Just a kid getting angry about this is really petty But Selena she’s really pretty The men’s muted humming resounded The lewd words rose in waves of delicate sounds and I closed the door I never meddled in Edward’s private life It used to be disdain but now it’s simply not my concern He has had countless women before but this Selena seems to be different I gritted my teeth wiping away the tears on my face My coat slid off unconsciously revealing the red marks on my neck The rain had stopped I returned home This apartment was the home Edward had left for me The furnishings in the house were all hand-picked by him according to my preferences during university The maid looked at the cheongsam that had just arrived and greeted me Miss Irene you’re back Edward’s anniversary gift for you has arrived The cheongsam was intricately woven with gold thread exquisitely crafted representing endless luxury and wealth I remembered the year I was snuggled in his arms him playing with my soft hair At that time I was an ignorant young lady The ring on my finger sparkled and in a proud tone I said I want to wear a cheongsam for the engagement I adore the charm of Chinese cheongsam Influenced by the Hong Kong movies I had seen before I had a special fondness for Chinese cheongsams When it was time for the wedding I wanted a grand ceremony one-of-a-kind in all of New York or else he wouldn’t be able to marry me He smiled indulgently at that time I reached out and touched the silk fabric of the red cheongsam perhaps he really wanted to get engaged Maybe he had feelings for me too I thought My heart was tightly entwined I bit my lip and put on the cheongsam The maid stood by bending down advising me Edward cares about you Look at this cheongsam it was custom-made for a year I easily slipped it on and on the tall and slender figure in the mirror hung a red robe This cheongsam was too big The waist was loose and the cheongsam was short This was not meant for me My nails were deeply embedded in my palms tears hung on my cheekbones I choked back a sob the red marks on my lips oozed blood Did he not come back to celebrate our anniversary The maid looked hesitant finally speaking after a long pause He said go to White Manor to find him White Manor was a place of revelry and debauchery with no shortage of beautiful women I felt a laugh building up in me but quickly suppressed it By the time I changed my clothes and walked out of the dressing room I looked calm I had learned to be submissive and humble after my family fell out of favor After standing in front of the private room door again a few hours later the young girls who had been serving inside were gone Edward’s friends had brought their female companions The scent of incense floated in the room with an elusive presence I saw Edward’s lips glistening with moisture Sweat had soaked through his white shirt his fingers tracing down the neck of the girl Only after a long kiss did they stop Someone whistled Edward brought the grand adventure to White Manor it’s the first time he’s kissed in public Yes even for Irene he only did it after drinking My steps halted at the door The scene before me flashed back to the first time I met his friends after my family fell out of favor That superficial grand adventure was just like this one Choosing between kissing and drinking I raised my face with anticipation closed my eyes waiting for the kiss to land But Edward just smiled lightly then downed three glasses of strong liquor and ended up in the hospital that night I thought he was just saving face for me but I didn’t realize it was because I wasn’t good enough Before I could even step inside that Selena shyly ran out In her hand was a bag from my favorite brand but one that I could no longer afford Edward leaned against the sofa looking interestedly at the girl who had just rushed to him The two of them were entangled competing in beauty She wasn’t any uglier than Selena who had just left I didn’t even have the courage to confront her and quickly rushed into the bathroom But Selena smiled and grabbed my wrist Irene right She took out a lipstick to touch up the lipstick she used was just made by Edward Selena smirked I advise you to look out for yourself don’t upset Edward From top to bottom she glanced over me They say you are as beautiful as a goddess but I see nothing special Now you’re just a mistress don’t you know that being dignified is a sign of the legitimate wife Selena shook her hand sliding her arms behind You should relax a bit how can you hold onto a man like this Guess how many times he wanted me last night She looked at me as if she wanted to devour me her face showing satisfaction It’s truly pitiful to be without a man’s nourishment I stood frozen in place staring at the marks on her body that she intentionally showed me I heard her ghostly voice echoing behind me Do you think threatening him will work If not you can try Wanna bet I turned around she innocently shrugged I came back ten minutes late you can try if you want My gaze locked onto the red marks on her biting my lip I wasn’t gambling with her I was gambling on his final feelings I hesitated twice but finally pushed open the door to the private room The strong smell of alcohol and smoke made me cough incessantly frowning I walked over Edward propped his chin on one hand his collar undone his collarbone covered in lip marks The bitter sharp pain at the tip of my heart had turned into a dull ache tears streaming down my face unconsciously The friends around us looked at my expression with a hint of pity Irene don’t cry it breaks my heart to see you cry If Edward isn’t happy I’ll lend you a shoulder how about that You look really pretty even crying like this is beautiful As their words turned more and more harsh ringing in my ears I stopped in front of Edward He patted the spot next to him gesturing the girls around him to clear off and then waved me over Sit here As if he had me all figured out Edward let’s break up Edward didn’t even lift an eyelid I heard that he only glanced at me when they said I was crying Suit yourself you really think highly of yourself I suddenly didn’t want to reconcile anymore The overwhelming urge to cry couldn’t be suppressed any longer I turned and walked out When I bumped into Selena who had just left I heard her mocking laughter That place was no longer my home I had no luggage nothing to hold onto The coat on me was my last covering The winter rain mixed with snowflakes falling chillingly on me The wind made me ache all over biting my lip trying to button up the brass buttons in the cold wind but even until my fingertips were swollen I still couldn’t fasten them I squatted on the roadside hugging my knees the darkness closing in on me unable to hold back I sat heavily on the bricks piled by the roadside Unable to suppress a loud sob It was at that moment a black umbrella was tilted over my head Irene the button won’t close it proves it’s not suitable why not change it directly Before I could speak a heavy woollen coat fell on me The wooden button easily closed giving off a click I looked up and met his eyes Still cold Does it matter if it’s cold I bit my lip trying to keep my voice from trembling The man chuckled lightly This can’t be the Irene I know I knew this person Grey True to his name handsome and refined indescribably elegant He had come from Las Vegas someone nobody dared to cross I had always wondered why he would mix with Edward and the others now I didn’t care Grey’s family was also wealthy showing just a hint would sustain me for several lifetimes I heard that this gentleman had offended someone in Las Vegas due to his arrogance and had come to New York to hide for a while to save face He handed me a small insulated cup Hot cocoa drink it to warm up The rain mixed with snowflakes fell harder the black umbrella steady over my head It was so cold that emotions seemed to pour out in the cold wind No longer pretending I took the cup unscrewing it I heard his voice above my head light as a feather It’s not time yet Every syllable landed in my ears exploding like fireworks Irene if you need money I happen to be able to provide for you Want me to be your ATM give it a chance Grey’s words were rapid causing my expression to falter Just as I raised my head again he turned his gaze away too Some fire rose within me and I flung the just-opened cup of hot cocoa Most of the warm brown liquid splashed onto Grey There were hot cocoa droplets hanging on his long lashes not even blinking his eyes Grey’s stern brows and eyes took on a crystalline shine with the dampened angles adding a dash of masculine appeal Was he still willing to compromise under Edward’s coercion I reached up to unbutton the wooden buttons on my body In the stalemate I felt warmer You give money I’ll go with you Grey do you think I’m out to sell myself He lowered his head and gently brushed away my hand that was unbuttoning my coat I’m sorry Irene Grey’s lips curled up for the first time I didn’t tell you everything I’m marrying you I was taken aback Grey and Edward were completely different types of people Both of them had delicate and handsome features but Grey exuded a wild and intense aura He looked down at me almost hypnotizing Handsome fierce and yet mysteriously captivating I was never one to be obedient Growing up everything desirable in the world was within my reach I was spoiled reckless seemingly able to get anything I wanted I had even captured Edward a high-profile figure who was the object of affection for many elite women in New York But that wasn’t love With my family’s power dwindling and remembering my mother’s dying words I had suppressed my temper and followed Edward I thought he would give me a home out of past affection But to my surprise he kept me around just for appearances Being submissive for too long my rebellious nature burst forth unexpectedly on this snowy night Couldn’t I be bold anymore No matter how much I misbehaved the umbrella continued to shield me from the wind and rain Grey’s expression remained gentle but with a hint of longing that couldn’t be hidden I didn’t know where this feeling came from but it ignited a spark within me in the icy world Almost involuntarily I raised my hand and wiped away a water stain from Grey’s face How much did you spend to marry me A heavy gold card was placed in my palm This is a gift My assets are all in another villa Go back and sign While his tone remained indifferent there was now a hint of seriousness I raised my face and brushed Grey’s palm If you dare to marry me what do I have to fear Whether it was genuine feelings or just an act I half-pushed Grey into the room Opening a bottle of imported liquor worth more than a few houses I gulped it down The spicy sweetness slid down my throat mingling with Grey’s taste His gentle kisses were fleeting as if I were the most precious treasure in the world My waist was gripped tightly With a single move of his tall figure he effortlessly held me in his hands Like a devout follower kneeling before a deity his fingertips traced delicately over my body I flirtatiously glanced at him his Adam’s apple bobbed showing signs of emotion His cheeks were already flushed and I knew my fair skin must have looked all the more alluring The movement of his cheekbones indicated something stirring within him and I had closed my eyes anticipating the kiss that was about to land on my lips Matters between a man and a woman need no further explanation But crucially he suddenly put some distance between us With his arms propping me up his eyes reddened with restraint he fixed my collar covered me with the blanket stood upright and was about to leave when I grabbed his wrist Before Grey could react my slap landed forcefully on his fair neck It was a powerful blow and tears streamed uncontrollably down my face How could I not stop crying My mind was filled with memories of the past adventure when Edward chose to drink instead of kissing me and now Grey seemed to do the same Seeing me cry Grey who was always in control became flustered He gently wiped away my tears We’ll go get the certificate tomorrow and then I’ll come back to settle the score I stiffened and rejected his hand The words I wasted my youth on Edward for without getting in return echoed in my ears Irene I truly want to cherish you Grey’s eyes deepened as he traced my cheekbones and settled on my cheek Just don’t leave me this time This time Was there a previous time I asked the alcohol clouding my already unclear mind The intensity and twists of emotions erased any recollection of my thoughts His voice softened evoking tenderness and allure like feathers fluttering in my heart Perhaps under the influence of alcohol I grasped his neck and asked If it’s not a hidden ailment why wait until tomorrow to prove it You a man who combines arrogance and elegance had me intrigued The alcohol had muddled my judgment and as Grey’s throat moved he answered a call on his phone I reached out to disconnect it but was stopped and a soft moan could be heard unintentionally eavesdropping on the conversation The light illuminated Grey’s face as he wore a triumphant expression and then the room fell into darkness The person on the other end of the phone stood frozen in place taking a moment to regain their senses The voice was familiar yet unfamiliar Soft and sweet with a hint of rose-like boldness Like the proud doll cat he had raised in his youth who would only act sweet when it scented other cats on its owner Irene the proud doll Edward knew that the sultry voice belonged to Irene the lady he had shared a bed with for years but had never crossed the final line It must be her new game After taking so much money over the years she just like her mother must be trying to make him jealous Edward looked at Selena sleeping by his side her young and delicate face showing a hint of innocence But she wasn’t as beautiful as Irene Recalling their conversation earlier that day he felt he had been too harsh Just this once he thought he would go and pacify her After all she was now almost entirely dependent on him after her family’s downfall Making such a scene she must want him to provide her with a home right If she truly wanted to marry it was indeed possible He felt relieved at the thought Opening his eyes again the sun was already high in the sky Grey was nowhere to be seen My alcohol tolerance was low but my memory was surprisingly clear I remembered every wild moment clearly I remembered how I had unbuttoned that shirt removed that belt with my own hands how that hand had roamed all over me serving the chaos of desire And how we entwined As the daylight shone brightly he continued despite my vibrant cries and pleas It was absurd and reckless Everything that happened I couldn’t forget any of it I rose looking for my clothes to cover my body The pathetic fabric was in pieces almost impossible to reassemble The wool coat on the floor was intact With a click I fastened the wooden button and hugged the coat as I headed out But I bumped into a solid chest Thinking of running away Don’t you want to take responsibility Grey now transformed from the arrogant man I once knew had reddened eyes and a watery gaze exuding a pitiful and pitiable aura Just like a fallen high-born flower who doesn’t love to see a hero show a tender side He lowered his head tenderly touching my cheekbone and gently stroked it I told you we’d go get the certificate It’s already late now you want to run I raised my head to look at him seeing a different version of myself in his eyes Coquettish unrestrained beautiful and alluring an exuberant pride I hadn’t felt in years In that brief moment of locking eyes Grey’s gaze deepened His eyes were a dark purple shimmering and mesmerizing Following his gaze downwards I noticed a vast expanse I had never paid attention to before What is love he asked He lifted me up and I saw his short rugged hair standing firm His finger traced down revealing a winding and clear river emitting a sweet fragrance The radiance of the countenance and the sturdy physique mingled defiantly and openly dancing freely and boldly in the darkness As the warm sunlight shone down Grey looked down at the rose-like beauty lying there She was a long-lost dream of youth the true love he willingly surrendered to Unable to resist his emotional aura I reached out and wrapped my arms around his neck seeking the place of unrestrained and supreme love His voice was husky and charming It wasn’t until then that he spoke Seeing them makes me think of you The next sentence unfolded mysteriously Seeing you makes me forget everything Tears streamed down my face allowing both clarity and subtlety to come forth Let the rough and refined majestic and flowing all open up to him No one else would speak such sincere words of love His fingertips toyed with my hair as he whispered You are my final investment Irene His voice was soft and alluring as he wiped away my tears eager for more After countless entanglements I finally fell into a deep sleep When I woke up again and opened my eyes the void had dissipated I saw Grey and I saw the world The man in front of me was handsome and elegant still a bit drowsy but filled with excitement and anticipation When he saw me awaken Grey quickly got up and carefully opened the entire wardrobe wall Inside were countless custom-made clothing and accessories but the largest section was filled with various traditional Chinese dresses and qipaos. He knew that I liked it As I took a tentative step the warm and soft carpet securely enveloped me In his encouraging gaze I took step by step until I stood in front of him In the mirror the man was half-kneeling in front of me He chose the most exquisite red qipao for me to change into I recognized this qipao The female lead in that Hong Kong movie wore this qipao which was extremely rare and sought after after the film With golden silk buttons his fingertips danced skillfully fastening it for me The qipao fabric was heavy-duty giving it weight on me My eyes welled up as I looked at Grey who was already meticulously groomed and softly spoke Do we need to find a makeup artist This doesn’t suit you His fingertips brushed over my brows and eyes I’ll do it Unexpectedly his hands were surprisingly skillful The colors were harmonious exuding elegance and grace We were dressed in matching couple outfits looking very sleek and beautiful Grey tightly held my hand fastened my seatbelt before getting into the car himself As the car swayed I woke up again only to realize that the car had been driving for quite a while This was not the marriage registration office Pushing open the car door I found myself in front of an ancient church The Gothic-style church from my dreams He held my hand and led me into the temple I was speechless He let go of my hand warming it as if it were a treasure before we stood under the domed ceiling of the church With devout eyes he knelt in front of me the ring in his hand gleaming I made a vow to God but it’s Irene who can make it come true Tears welled up in my eyes Will you marry me Letting him put the ring on for me I sniffled and asked him We’ve agreed to get married so why all this trouble Grey beaming with pride stopped humming and proudly replied Marrying Irene is a big deal so of course the ceremony cannot be lacking I can’t let Irene suffer even a bit I held back my tears smiling as we finished taking registration photos and left with the documents Grey still grinning foolishly A pang of sourness tugged at my heart Grey why are you so good to me He chuckled without a word I’m waiting for someone to see their own heart clearly Peter’s fiancée is named Lily a wedding planner and costume designer During dinner that day someone asked what the top designer had been busy with Lily suddenly smiled gently and softly said Grey had a wedding dress custom-made by the most famous old craftsman in New York The wedding date was approaching so he borrowed a few people from me to rush the work I helped with some of the wedding details Hearing Grey’s name Edward unconsciously felt uneasy She mumbled to herself saying the size seemed a lot like Irene’s It had been so long since Irene had come in for clothes fitting Edward’s unfounded guilt was quickly suppressed He hadn’t given her much money for a long time A girl with nothing did she need wealth and luxury to be lifted up He had her firmly by his side with the orphanage issue and naturally she wouldn’t speak up Even her bag was from a few years ago Not to mention anything expensive Out of the corner of his eye he saw Selena’s handbag next to her and remembered This brand seemed to be one Irene liked It seemed he had indeed treated her unfairly Why was she always acting like a proud spoiled rich girl He decided he must make it right this time and cherish Irene and live well with her Edward truly couldn’t be without Irene The day she left White Manor I called her but it seemed Irene’s number was no longer in use Lily’s voice was soft but each word hit Edward hard Being in love and continuously betrayed can be exhausting Edward glanced disdainfully at Peter who was surrounded by women on both sides a feeling of disgust rising in his throat Peter’s face turned cold squeezing the girl on his left shoulder even harder It was unclear whether these words were meant for Edward to hear or for his fiancée Peter Edward threw his drink onto the balcony and went out to smoke a cigarette Edward had been unable to find Irene for the past three months He remembered the night before when he went to have a proposal qipao custom-made by Lily for Irene he had caught a glimpse of Grey from afar Grey didn’t say anything but when he spotted Edward he gave a meaningful smile that made his heart race Edward’s eyes widened suddenly The last time he called Irene besides some murmurs all that was left was a stifled groan After the legal marriage Grey took me to meet many people This secluded seaside villa far from the hustle and bustle was quiet and peaceful An elderly woman with a half-gray head had a gentle demeanor yet carried some childlike innocence She joyfully touched my face Irene you’re so beautiful A clearly brisk sister stepped out and took the elderly woman from my hands Irene take this A delicate wooden box was placed in my hand I should have visited you a long time ago but I had to take care of my mother Grey took off his jacket to pump water at the well The resistance and tension in my heart gradually subsided They were all such good people A gentle and tender mother an assertive and efficient sister There weren’t too many servants here with the majority of chores being done by the sister herself I was fully accepted The sister smiled and patted my hair If Grey bullies you come find me She said she would support me My heart thumped wildly The woman in front of me seemed familiar and made me feel unexpectedly close When the sister went to cook the elderly woman smiled at me took off the jade bangle from her wrist and put it on me saying Irene I couldn’t understand why they looked at me with not just fondness but also some indescribable emotions I temporarily attributed it to Grey speaking well of me When I saw drool at the corner of her mouth I instinctively reached out to wipe it for her The sister who was coming from afar saw it She froze for a moment then smiled and said Irene is a good girl always has been The sister told me that the mother had Alzheimer’s disease But in conversations she still treated me as Irene She even held my hand and cried when she got excited That jerk Grey how did he bring back my Irene I tried hard to remember but still couldn’t recall the past By then Grey had fetched the water and handed me a wet handkerchief to dry my hands I suddenly asked Grey have I met my mom before Grey bent down gently kissed my forehead but changed the subject With the family treasure on my hand I couldn’t run away this time In just a few months Grey had given me all the affection This was the love I had wasted an entire youth on with Edward and never got in return Why He knew I was asking him the reason for keeping silent But Grey smiled openly and candidly I can’t tell you yet This is a promise I made to Irene Something in my heart was stirred in an instant And then it beat even more vigorously His voice was like celestial music She had said she had to remember on her own Reluctantly holding a cigarette Peter drove for him Edward do you have to find her Edward pursed his lips I want to give the best to Irene. Thinking of Lily’s calm and dignified demeanor Peter felt inexplicably annoyed Her studio was not large When the car stopped a cigarette had burned out Peter said his last puff of smoke You go in by yourself I won’t Edward looked at Peter’s impatient expression and thought of his past It seemed to be the same Hesitating for a moment he opened his mouth Peter Irene is a good person Don’t do something you’ll regret Peter raised an eyebrow noncommittal He sighed and quickly entered the studio Lily measuring fabric sizes with her head down looked up only when Edward walked in with a smile What’s the matter Edward Selena ordered several clothes I haven’t finished them yet Edward was stunned It seemed that even Selena could come in for qipao fittings but he hadn’t given Irene the qualification to come in She had always loved qipaos What had he done I want to order a qipao for Irene The best-looking one for our engagement He forced a smile She loves rituals so I’ll start from the proposal Lily watched Edward who seemed oddly fixated and didn’t say a word After a while she finally spoke Irene hasn’t come to see me for a long time This size is from when she was in college I last saw her at White Manor She’s lost too much weight Edward’s mind flashed with the memory of Irene’s tall and slender figure the last time he saw her You haven’t seen her in a long time right Her words were light but urgent Leave her alone Although it was meant as a well-intentioned remark Edward suddenly lost control She would never leave She’s Irene she loves me the most How could she not want me Lily scoffed ruthless in shattering his illusion She’s too good for you Edward’s eyes reddened in an instant and he uncontrollably lunged at Lily Lily saw Peter watching from afar Her fiancé didn’t step in to help As she neared suffocation she couldn’t help but speak the truth for Irene She’s leaving because of you Tears streamed down Lily’s face Crying for Irene crying for herself After a while just as her vision was about to blur she suddenly regained oxygen She gasped for air seeing the once arrogant man shed tears Edward cried He grabbed Lily Help me I want to see her I will bring the ring and go propose to her give her a home Lily smirked She knew of course the ring Irene had was sent by another man Grey deserves it Waking up was not easy I stretched lazily and saw my radiant face in the mirror couldn’t help but pat my face Too decadent can’t continue like this After becoming husband and wife Grey openly demanded more almost driving me crazy I angrily kicked the satisfied Grey who was working on the side but he just chuckled Looking at his distinct features my heart skipped a beat It felt like I had known you for a long time Grey looked at me expectantly But I still couldn’t remember He hugged me I’m not in a hurry As our breaths intertwined I saw him open his thick pile of documents I am not a hidden woman Grey His voice faded husky magnetic So do you have a plan in mind I held his hand I want to try studying abroad further my education Grey curved his lips looking at me I have given up too much I want to reclaim my own pride I can’t have Grey bringing work home all the time to accompany me I kicked him out Reluctantly he brushed his nose against mine You made me sleep alone on our wedding night I remembered last night when he had ignored my pleas and coldly said Don’t even think about entering our bedroom if you skip work again tonight Grey sneakily kissed me and then left promptly My study room was next to the bedroom all arranged by Grey himself The books for study were also gathered by him with many irreplaceable notes inside It seemed like his handwriting Next to the study was a maid’s forbidden area Grey was not hiding anything from me he valued it greatly and I was not someone who sought to pry never entered While studying I noticed a strong smell of smoke downstairs A fire had ignited dangerously close to the upstairs where I was As the flames spread I suddenly remembered how Grey treasured this room Without hesitation I rushed into that room to try and salvage as much of his precious belongings as possible When I pushed the door open I froze in place The fire gradually subsided the temperature dropped But in that room there were only portraits of me From wearing a princess dress to a school uniform to adulthood and finally a weary-looking Irene All sizes of Irene Under the portrait of my adulthood there lay an exquisite pearl necklace Memories suddenly flooded back My head buzzed By this time the fire had been completely extinguished everything was safe None of the portraits in this room were damaged I remembered everything My eighteenth birthday celebration was unforgettable But I never thought I had forgotten him Grey was fighting for power at that time he was injured and sought refuge in my house I had my first drink at the birthday banquet and he coincidentally hid in my room I had just taken off my heavy dress when I saw Grey covered in a discarded suit jacket covered in blood Perhaps the allure of the moment bolstered by alcohol I saw him like that and felt no fear I drank at my coming of age ceremony Grey was drugged Everything happened as if it were predestined Suddenly I understood why Grey and I were so compatible it turns out it was fated from that year The proud young lady was perched on the boy like a victorious general The bloodstains on him added a touch of recklessness to the young lovers’ entanglement Grey’s voice was sexy yet weak as he gently pressed on his wound watching the drunken girl in front of him swaying and speaking Don’t forget about me wait for me to marry you when I return The drunk girl was playful yet stubborn tilting her neck to reveal the marks he left on her Have I forgotten you so you no longer have any responsibility He helplessly replied Forget about me and then I’ll tell you you are supposed to be my wife She was so spoiled that she was uncontrollable Don’t force me you need to wait for me to remember on my own Her soft lips descended Grey was aroused his eyes wolfish leaning down again The girl’s voice was tender No don’t don’t It was a night of no control The next day I saw the blood-stained suit on the floor After asking around I found out it belonged to Edward I mistook it for Edward As a result after my coming-of-age ceremony my family suddenly lost power overnight Losing my parents I chose to selectively forget the last moments of joy and indulgence For some reason I stayed by Edward’s side It turned out my enduring patience was because I mistook him for someone else It seemed like I suddenly understood why Edward had never touched me Despite kissing and getting emotional he always stopped short of taking the final step When he came to me that year it was because he saw the red mark on my neck and thought I was frivolous and had mingled with other people A misunderstanding arose Crying I hugged the anxiously looking Grey tightly I’m sorry I actually forgot about you The teasing from that day turned out to be a prophecy Grey tightened his arms It felt like he was embracing the entire world Now that I remembered everything I no longer resisted the wedding Instead I began to enthusiastically plan with Grey But Grey on the other hand kept demanding benefits from me every day one after another He said it was for our customs and we needed to live separately for a month to have a lasting relationship Naturally he didn’t mention that he couldn’t bear to part with the delicate and tender girl I looked at his puppy-like wet eyes and eventually couldn’t harden my heart Every corner of the villa bore traces of me Until I begged him gasping for air did he pause giving me time to rest But I didn’t realize the door was left slightly ajar unsure of what was truly closed Edward had finally located Irene’s whereabouts after much effort but seeing the door open pained his eyes He didn’t even dare to ask inside The soft voice he heard was meant for someone else Edward’s eyes reddened His steps wanted to leave countless times but he couldn’t He couldn’t plot against her Edward crouched outside the villa’s door all night listening to her shallow breathing Imagining her flourishing with someone else He bit his lip fiercely regretting countless times why he hadn’t touched her Why Why had he gradually pushed the person he loved most to another The door creaked Grey heard it also witnessed Edward’s distraught figure But it wasn’t enough He demanded in every possible way teasing the cherry lips to make a more pleasing sound It still wasn’t enough Edward had bullied Grey’s sweetheart for too long He needed to confront his feelings Edward pondered countless ways of a reunion But he didn’t expect it to be at the wedding Holding the gold embossed invitation written in Irene’s own handwriting Beside her there was a majestic and dignified font Grey’s Clearly written on it was Irene’s name alongside another man’s name.
