Chapter 101

Chapter 101

Today was supposed to be different.

I had planned to remarry Elizabeth after she won and have a big wedding for her.

Even though we never officially ended our relationship, I wanted her heart to be mine again, fully and without reservation.

The diamond ring in my pocket was supposed to be the start of a new chapter for us.

But now, as I watched them, that hope crumbled.

ey weren't embracing or kissing, but their eyes-those eyes betrayed everything.

The way they looked at each other, with warmth and intensity, was something only long-time lovers could share.

It was a gaze that spoke volumes, filled with unspoken words and deep-seated emotions.

A wave of humiliation surged through me, burning in my chest like a fire that wouldn't be quenched.

Frustration, loss, a bitter cocktail of emotions gnawed at my pride, at my very dignity.

I wanted to turn and walk away, to never look back, to never speak to her again.

But a part of me, the part that still held onto the belief that Elizabeth cared for me, kept me rooted to the spot.

The smiles she had given me, the words she spoke, the times we shared-they were real, weren't they?

The warmth, the concern, the kisses-they had to be real.

I decided to wait a little longer.

Maybe Elizabeth would see me, would offer some explanation that would make sense of all this.

I was willing to forgive, always willing when it came to her.

I just needed her to acknowledge me, to reassure me that what we had wasn't just a figment of my imagination.

But I waited for what felt like an eternity.

And in that time, my heart grew cold, as cold as the night air around me.
