About

Sylvia thought she had it all figured out—an eight-year love story with Darrel, the man of her dreams, who promised her a life of happiness. But when he casually announces his engagement to her sister, Ashley, everything crumbles like a house of cards. As Darrel rationalizes his betrayal, Sylvia is left grappling with the painful truth: she has sacrificed her youth and dreams for a man who never truly valued her.

Now, with a new path unfolding before her, Sylvia makes a bold decision. Marrying Seth, the son of the wealthiest man in town, seems like a practical escape from her heartache. After all, if he’s not interested in women, she can finally reclaim her autonomy and wealth without the emotional entanglements. But as she navigates this uncharted territory, the shadows of her past loom large. What happens when the feelings she thought she buried resurface in unexpected ways?

In a world where love is as fickle as the tides, Sylvia must confront her own desires and the haunting echoes of a love long lost. Can she truly move on, or will her heart betray her once more?

After I Married The Boss, My Childhood Sweetheart Regretted It So MuchChapter 1

My fiancé, Darrel Gonzalez, the man I had loved for eight years, decided to cancel our wedding and announced his intention to get engaged to my sister instead.

His reasoning?

In twenty days, my sister was set to marry Seth Charlie, the son of the richest man, who had been her betrothed since childhood.

But Seth was a homosexual and Darrel feared she would become a widow shortly after their wedding.

Darrel claimed his plan was noble, saying he would sort things out after their engagement, as if he had forgotten the eight years I had devoted to him.

When I asked him what I was supposed to do, he replied casually, “Eight years have passed, Sylvia. What’s another two?

“Our relationship is so stable, so don’t worry about this little thing. Besides, Ashley wasn’t raised with love like you were. I can’t just abandon her.”

Twenty days later, I was wearing a pristine white dress. But I was not marrying Darrel. I was marrying Seth, the son of the richest man.

As I passed by him, who looked every bit like a forsaken bridegroom, I saw his pale face.
