The same taxi from earlier was still there, so I pulled open the door and slid inside. Speaking softly, I instructed the driver, “Take me to the Luxe Heritage Hotel”

That was the place where Caden and I had planned to hold our engagement ceremony tonight.

“Rosaline, what’s going on? Did you see Caden?” Yura asked, noticing my troubled expression.

I pressed my lips together before giving a slight nod.

“Where is he? Why isn’t he with you? Did he head to the Luxe Heritage Hotel before you?” Yura’s voice carried a hint of worry.

Closing my eyes, I let out a bitter smile. “The engagement ceremony won’t be happening tonight.”

“What?” Yura gasped in shock.

I inhaled deeply, forcing my voice to remain steady. “I’ve made up my mind. I’m breaking off the engagement with Caden. The ceremony is canceled.”

Yura froze, disbelief written all over her face. “You’re breaking off the engagement? Are you serious?”

“Do I seem like I’m joking?” I replied, letting out a short, mocking laugh.

“Why?” she asked, searching my face for answers.

A painful ache spread through my chest, and I clenched my teeth. “Because Tessa has returned. He was missing the whole day… and he was with her.”

“What? Tessa is back? That’s impossible!” Yura’s voice was filled with shock.

She knew about Tessa from our past conversations. She also knew that Caden had once loved her deeply.
