Now, in this second life, I was done wasting time on someone who would never love me in return. I decided to let them be together, once and for all.
But as I walked down the aisle toward Daniel, Simon's face turned pale, and he completely lost control.
...
Three days after my official engagement to Simon Hughes, I ran into him at a party. Naturally, His friends spotted me, and—of course—they couldn’t resist.
They were already laughing, clearly having a field day at my expense.
"Simon, look who it is—your little shadow is here again!" one of them called out with a grin.
"Bianca, you're already engaged to Simon, and yet you're still hanging around him? Shouldn't you be letting the poor guy enjoy his own party before you tie him down?" another one chimed in.
When Simon saw me, his annoyance was pretty much written all over his face.
"Bianca," he spat, "are you really this desperate to get married to me? You didn’t even bother getting my approval before locking down this engagement. And now the whole damn city’s talking about it. You’ve got some nerve."
