Just as I turned away, I spotted a hint of scorn in Ophelia’s eyes as she dragged Lucian in my direction.
“Wow, a Ferris wheel! Lucian, I absolutely want to ride this too!” she bubbled, her voice brimming with delight.
Upon learning from the staff that only two seats were left, Lucian didn’t cast a single glance my way as he took Ophelia’s hand and hopped onto the ride.
When the Ferris wheel returned twenty minutes later, he scoured the entire mall, but I was nowhere to be found.
At eight that night, I exited my room with my bags in hand, leaving behind a note that simply stated, “Breakup.”
Without a hint of hesitation, I stepped out, leaving everything behind.
When my phone rang at eleven, I discovered it was Lucian calling. I was in the living room, engrossed in conversation with my parents, completely oblivious to the ringing.
An hour later, he called again. I dimmed my screen, powered off my phone, and slipped into bed, surrendering to sleep until noon the following day.
When I finally turned my phone back on, I was taken aback to see more than ten missed calls. With a heavy heart, I opened WhatsApp, ready to face the inevitable.
