After We Broke Up, I Married His Brother

At a party, playing Truth or Dare, my boyfriend kissed his childhood friend in front of everyone.

I broke up with him on the spot.

His friends started guessing how long it would take for me to beg him to get back together.

Kian, sipping on his drink, casually joined in their conversation. “I bet it won’t be more than a week.”

After that, Kian and his childhood friend flaunted their romance.

But I felt nothing.

Kian was surprised that I didn’t reach out to him.

A few months later, when we met again, I was kissing one of his close friends right in front of everyone.

Kian’s eyes were fuming with anger.

At Kian’s birthday party, as soon as I pushed open the door, I was met with a scene I’d never forget.

Kian, egged on by the crowd, chose Dare.

Ruth was shyly kissing him in his arms.

“Hey, Kian, if your girlfriend sees this, she’ll definitely want to break up,” said one of his friends.

Kian scoffed dismissively.

“She won’t,” he said.

The people around him chimed in.

“Yeah, Audrey will never break up with him.”

“Exactly.”

When I heard my name, I walked straight up to them.

Instantly, all eyes were on Kian and me.

Kian looked at me nonchalantly, showing no intention of letting go of Ruth.

“It’s just a game.”

I placed the cake I’d brought on the table.

“Happy Birthday. It seems my timing wasn’t great.”

The onlookers’ gazes felt almost suffocating.

“Audrey, it’s just a game. If Kian and I were serious, it would’ve happened already.”

Ruth’s words echoed Kian’s past statements to me.

The irony was thick.

Bitch.

I smiled gently at her, clenched and then relaxed my fists in my pockets.

I grabbed the wine glass and threw it at her.

“Hope you two have a lifetime of happiness and may you get what you deserve.”

Ignoring Kian’s anger and the surrounding astonishment, I turned and walked away. Not far out the door, Kian grabbed me.

He stared coldly and demanded I apologize to his childhood friend.

I refused to back down, staring stubbornly at him.

“Let’s break up.”

Ruth, with a smug face, watched me with glee and fanned the flames.

“Kian, just apologize to Audrey. I’m fine.”

Kian, indifferent, let go of my hand.

“Whatever. Don’t come crying back to me.”

Finally free from Kian’s grip, I headed for the door.

Just before leaving, something hit my back.

I heard Kian’s voice.

“Take your cake with you.”

Through the door, I could faintly hear Kian’s friends teasing.

“How long do you think this will last?”

“I guess a month, because she seems really pissed.”

“No, no, two weeks.”

“She’ll come crawling back soon.” Kian’s words prompted loud laughter in the room.

I stood frozen, feeling humiliated.

The next moment, I heard a sneer.

“Eavesdropping?”

I turned to see Jordan smirking at me.

He was Kian’s good friend.

Was he mocking me?

Before I could say anything back, the door was suddenly pushed open from inside.

“Jordan?”

The person cast knowing glances between me and Jordan, his eyes shifting back and forth.

“What are you doing?”

Jordan suddenly took my hand.

“Declaring my feelings.”

As the person stared in surprise, I was swiftly whisked away from the scene.
