Chapter 1 288 Vouchers The night before our wedding invitations were sent out , Darian Olsen erased my name - and replaced it with his childhood crush's . One of his friends asked in shock , " What about Roxanne ? She's been working nonstop for this wedding . All she wants is to marry you . And you just switched the bride to Yvette ? " Darian laughed coldly . " Yvie just wants to feel like a bride for one night . Tomorrow , I'll change it back . " Even if Roxanne sees it , she loves me too much . She'll fix it herself - without me saying a word . " I stood outside the door , fists trembling , forcing my tears back . Pretending I hadn't heard a thing . But I didn't fix the invitations . If he could throw away seven years of love for someone else's whim , then I could throw him away too . After all , my life has always been more than just him . *** Hearing Darian's voice , I almost stopped breathing . Just the day before , he was holding me , telling me how excited he was for our wedding . But now , the name on the invitations was Yvette Hawley . His friend kept asking , " You're really not gonna tell Roxanne you changed the name ? " What if she sees it and gets so mad she calls everything off ? " " Enough , " Darian snapped . Then his voice cooled , heavy with annoyance . " That's not possible . She's been stuck to me like glue all these years . She's not going anywhere . " His friends laughed . " Darian , you gotta teach us how to get a girl as loyal as Roxanne . He smirked . " You don't want a girl this clingy . Trust me . 08 : 411 Chapter 1 293 Vouchers " Besides , she's always been jealous of Yvie . If she finds out , she'll make a scene . I'm just doing this to make Yvie happy . " I stood frozen outside the door , feeling cold all over . I wanted to burst in , yell at him , and demand an explanation . But my heart hurt so much I had no strength left . I went home and threw myself onto the bed . We had grown up together for eighteen years , dated for seven . My entire twenty - five years of life were filled with him . " If he fell out of love , why didn't he just tell me ? Is it fun watching me plan a wedding he doesn't even care ? " I thought bitterly . My hands trembled . My eyes burned , but no tears came . I just stared blankly out the window . After a long silence , my phone lit up . It was a message from Darian . " Roxie , come to the bridal shop . You should try on your wedding dress . " I held my phone , silent for a long time . In the end , I went anyway . I told myself , " What if he was just showing off in front of his friends ? What if he had a reason ? " If he apologized honestly , maybe all those years together still meant something . " Standing in front of the bridal shop , I took a deep breath . I was about to push the door open when Yvette stepped out in a wedding dress . Darian looked at her with smiling eyes , exaggerating his praise . " Yvie , you look stunning in that dress . " Yvette blushed and moved closer to him . " Thank you . I'm really touched that you changed the name for me and came with me to try on dresses . " He gently adjusted her veil , his gaze full of affection . " I just wanted to fulfill a dream we had when we were young . I could never say no to you . 08:41 Chapter 1 Yvette smiled sweetly , lowering her voice . " Do you think Roxie will be mad at me ? " Darian's smile faded . " Her ? She wouldn't dare be angry with me . " M My reflection in the glass showed my red - rimmed eyes . The last bit of hope I had for Dariari stas shattered . He didn't have a good reason . He had simply changed . Since we got together at eighteen , I had always dreamed about what my wedding dress would look like . Back then , Darian would always comfort me , saying , " No matter what dress you wear , you'll be the most beautiful bride . " I told him he had to keep a straight face when I tried on dresses , or we wouldn't be able to bargain properly . But he just laughed , held me tight , and said , " I can't help it . Everyone who sees you will be amazed . " But now , the one who amazed him was no longer me . His love no longer belonged only to me . In that case , it was time for me to leave . After returning home , I told my parents I wanted to call off the wedding . They asked me several times if I was sure . Each time , I nodded firmly . " I'm sure . " Everyone knew I loved Darian with all my heart . But they didn't know that loving someone didn't mean I would lose my dignity . If his heart had changed , then I would let him go . From now on , we'd go our separate ways . 08:41 Chapter 2 11 288 Vouchers Chapter 2
