My Boyfriend Didn't Know I'd be Married — Novel

About

In a world where love and loyalty are put to the test, Emily finds herself standing at a crossroads. After seven years with Leon, the promise of marriage shatters when she overhears him mocking her dreams on a livestream. Instead of love, she’s met with indifference and a hasty departure, leaving her reeling in a wedding dress that now feels like a cruel joke.

As Emily grapples with heartbreak and humiliation, she must confront the painful truth: Leon never cared as deeply as she believed. His demands for money and frustration at her emotional turmoil only deepen her resolve to reclaim her life. But can she truly let go of the past, or will the memories of their shared moments haunt her?

When her mother suggests a chance encounter with a man from her childhood, Emily faces an unexpected dilemma. Is it too soon to open her heart again? With the echoes of Leon’s voice still fresh in her mind, she must navigate a world filled with new possibilities—and the lingering shadows of a love that never was. Will Emily find the courage to embrace her future, or will the weight of her past keep her bound?

My Boyfriend Didn't Know I'd be MarriedChapter 1

Leon had promised we would marry after seven years together. But the day I went to try on wedding dresses, I overheard him on a livestream call, saying, "My girlfriend keeps bugging me to get married. It's so annoying. What should I do?"

Furious, I confronted him. Instead of talking it out, Leon grabbed his suitcase, booked a flight and left. Before he walked out, he even posted on Twitter: "Never spoil a woman too much!"

A month passed and then Leon called me, his voice oddly eager to please. "Emily, weren't we supposed to get married? Why haven't you made any arrangements?"

I glanced down at the handsome man kneeling in front of me, a ring in his hand and answered coolly, "Oh, I am making arrangements. Just not with you."

Leon and I had been together for seven years. I'd thought he'd be just as excited as I was about getting married, but that illusion shattered that day we went together to the wedding boutique.
