Chapter30 My friend pulled up Antonios Facebook profile . Antonio and Stella have been inseparable lately . Anyone who didnt know better would think were the woman in his photos . Antonio had blocked me on Facebook .. He had never posted a single picture of me . Now , his profile was plastered with images of Stellas back : at amusement parks , trying on wedding dresses , watching the sunrise over the ocean . It was clear he was deeply in love with her . My friend looked at me with concern . Dont be too upset . If Antonio knew about Stellas past , he would break up with her . Im over him , I smiled , genuinely feeling a sense of release . In a few days , Id be gone from this place forever . I wouldnt waste another moment grieving over Antonio . When Antonio , whom I hadnt seen for days , showed up , I didnt react . He glanced around , happily texting someone . Didnt you decorate the house ? he asked . Chapterto You said you wanted to keep things simple . He said nothing , his gaze falling on the small checkboard where Id been counting down the days until the wedding . Time flies . Our wedding is in a week . He said with a smile . I erased the number and wrote 5 . Our wedding is in five days . Antonio never paid attention to the details of my life . My mother called , and I stepped onto the balcony to take the call . When I returned , Antonio was still engrossed in his phone . Who was that ? I thought I heard you mention a visa . Work , I said indifferently . By the way , dont bother planning a honeymoon . Im too busy . continued , still staring at his phone . I started packing my suitcase . Since Stellas return , Antonio couldnt bear to be away from her . Seeing me pack , Antonio suddenly asked , Wheres your ring ? A moment later , he realized he wasnt wearing his either . I lost it , I said casually , unconcerned about the whereabouts of his ring . Antonio looked like he wanted to explain something , but his phone rang with Stellas unique ringtone . He glanced at it , stood up , and kissed my forehead . Sorry , honey . Work has been crazy . I promise to make you the happiest woman alive once this is all over . Chapter30 He was suddenly overflowing with sweet nothings . I felt disgust instead of joy . I ignored him and continued packing . Time crawled by . The day before the wedding arrived . The corresponding note on the calendar read family dinner . It had been my greatest wish for over two decades . But I knew it would never happen . My mother would never forgive my father , and I would never forgive Antonio . I went to the Ferris wheel alone and watched the sunset . Meanwhile , Stella posted a picture of a large family dinner . My father was smiling at Antonio as he served him food . The caption read , Both families met to finalize the wedding details . I was amused , not angry . Whose wedding , I wondered . Stellas or mine ? I blocked and deleted Stella . I started to type a message to Antonio , but after several revisions , I decided against sending it . Just as I was about to leave , Antonio called , Where are you ? Why arent you at home ? Send me your location . I miss you . Checker 30 He arrived shortly afterward . Getting into the car , I noticed a pink cushion on the passenger seat . Beneath it was a pair of white lace underwear . I sighed and climbed into the back . Antonio , still glued to his phone , didnt notice . He casually asked , Why the sudden trip to the amusement park ? Are the wedding preparations finished ? Almost , I replied flatly . I remember youve always wanted to ride the Ferris wheel , Antonio continued . Ill take you sometime when Im free .
