Love's Unspoken SymphonyChapter 1

After three years of on-and-off relationships with Lance because of Melissa, I was exhausted and finally gave up.

I chose Elmer, my childhood sweetheart, who had been pursuing me for many years.

We had been in love for five years and he took care of everything. I thought he was the one for the rest of my life until the bachelor party a week before the wedding.

His good friend got drunk and exposed his secret thoughts that he had kept secret for many years.

“You have been acting affectionate for Melissa for so many years and finally Erin is willing to marry you wholeheartedly.”

“As long as Melissa can get Lance as she wishes, I am willing to marry someone I don’t love.”

It turned out that the wedding dress he carefully prepared was because of his regret that Melissa couldn’t wear it.

The ring he designed himself was also a sadness that he couldn’t see Melissa wear it.

My self-righteous utopia was a cage that he carefully built with lies just to trap me.

I wiped my tears dejectedly and finally gave up and agreed to the marriage my parents chose for me.

——

“Mom, I agree to the marriage.”
