  • When Ethan came home, he was startled.

  • I was sitting alone in the dark living room, like a ghost.

  • He paused: “Thinking about the past again?”

  • Then, with a hint of pity, he hugged me and handed me a velvet jewelry box:

  • “The wedding is in a week. I picked this necklace for you today, a limited edition. Try it on.”

  • I suppressed the intense nausea and forced a smile: “In a week, I’ll have a gift for you too.”

  • Ethan was delighted and leaned in to kiss me: “Alright, I’ll be waiting, honey.”

  • His neck bore fresh red marks–something my hazy self had never noticed before.

  • I forced a smile, but my heart was like a frozen well.

  • Now, every touch from him felt unbearable.

  • I suddenly asked him: “You know, my father’s company was doing fine. Why did it suddenly collapse?”

  • A flicker of panic flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calm:

  • “I’ve already bought Wilson Group.”

  • “After we get married, if you’re interested, I’ll let you manage it.”

  • Ethan lowered his eyes, changing the subject: “Emily, you’re overthinking again. Remember your appointment with Dr. Smith.”

  • Using my low mood as an excuse, I slept in the guest room.

  • Thinking about the past six months with him, I couldn’t sleep.

  • I opened my laptop and started researching Ford Enterprises, typing away until dawn.
