9 Ment Half a year later , my wedding to Nickolas went as planned . But just as we exchanged rings , the ballroom doors burst open . " You guys can't get married ! " Leonardo rushed in , his suit messy and eyes red , with Sylvia behind him , looking disheveled . It looked like they had just been through a fight . The place erupted into chaos . Nickolas's eyes me . turned cold , and he signaled the security guard , but Leonardo reached the stage and stared at " Jan , I am your husband ! You can't marry him ! " I looked at him coldly . " Leonardo , I'm already married . Can't you leave me alone ? Are you ever going to stop acting crazy ? " " I'm not crazy ! " he croaked . " I've regretted it every day for the past six months ! Sylvia lied to me . She never loved me ! She just wanted money ! " Sylvia snapped back sharply , " Leonardo ! Stop talking nonsense ! You were the one who left her behind at the wedding rehearsal . What right do you have to blame me ? " They had a public falling out , and it got pretty chaotic . Nickolas sneered and picked up the mic . " Security , please show these two honored guests out . Don't interrupt our wedding . " The bodyguards dragged them out . Leonardo struggled and shouted at me , " Jan ! I gave up my dignity for you . Can't you just look back at me ? " I didn't even glance at him . I turned and smiled at Nickolas , " Continue ? " He lowered his head and kissed my hand . " Of course . " After we got married , my life with Nickolas was peaceful and happy . He got up early every day to make me breakfast , even if he worked overtime until midnight the day before . I laughed at him , " Mr. Burnett can even fry eggs now ? " 00.43 1.3 % < 9 He raised his eyebrows . " For you , I'd learn anything . " Meanwhile , Leonardo and Sylvia's days just kept getting worse . I heard Leonardo was completely abandoned by her family . His shares were taken back , and he could only live off a small trust fund . Sylvia , realizing she couldn't get any benefits , quickly hooked up with another rich guy . But his wife caught wind of it and gave her a beating in the street . One time , Nickolas and I were at the mall when we bumped into Leonardo . He looked disheveled , with a scruffy beard and dull eyes , clutching a cheap supermarket bag . When he saw us , he froze , torn between wanting to approach and not daring to move . Nickolas wrapped his arm around my waist and walked right past him without a second glance . I heard a plastic bag drop and Leonardo's quiet sobs behind us . That night , Nickolas hugged me from behind , his chin resting on my shoulder . " Are you happy today ? " he asked . I turned and kissed his cheek . " Yeah , I'm super happy , " I said . He chuckled , " Then let's stay happy every day . " I leaned into him , gazing at the stars outside . Some people , once missed , were gone forever . Others were meant to be by my side for life . Menu Time flew by , decades passing like a fleeting white colt . I lay peacefully on the couch , awaiting the arrival of death . Yet , the next second , I opened my eyes wide , stunned by the vast , boundless sea of stars before me . Suddenly , a voice sounded in my ear , " Welcome back to the Time - Space Shuttle Bureau . " Immediately , a warm , enveloping power surrounded me . Memories spanning countless years returned like a tide . I remembered . It turned out that I had been shuttling through different times and spaces , attempting to redeem the self that was once deeply mired in despair . Each time I changed fate , I was able to retrieve a piece of my lost soul . < Jocelyn's story
