He Gave My Ring to Her, So I Wedded His Rival

After discovering that Kason had been secretly seeing his mistress for three years and was planning to marry her, I decided to leave him and return home for an arranged marriage.

On the first day, I handed the engagement ring he had given me to his mistress.

On the second day, I discarded everything that reminded me of him.

On the third day, I put on my wedding dress and married his arch-rival, Ronan.

From that day forward, Kason and I were no longer connected.

Kason scoffed, thinking I was just throwing a tantrum.

Until he saw the news of my marriage to someone else.

Only then did he panic.

==============================

In the office, the two of them were completely unaware of my presence outside the door.

I poured out the coffee I had made for Kason and left.

Kason had always kissed me with such care, so I had never seen him so passionate before.

Now I knew it was because he had given that side of himself to someone else.

I had thought I could marry for love, but reality had hit me hard.

Numb and disheveled, I wiped away my tears and took a cab back to the mansion.

As soon as I got out of the car, several unfamiliar messages came through.

They were from Ximena.

"You heard it, didn’t you? Mr. Henry is going to give me a wedding even grander than yours."

Reading those words, my heart still clenched.

He had once said that he would only ever step into a wedding hall with me.

But now, the wedding we had been looking forward to for so long had become a tool to placate his little bird.

Seeing that I hadn’t replied, Ximena sent several more photos.

In them, she and Kason were entwined, their intimacy unmistakable.

"Has he ever loved you like this?"

I gave a bitter smile and didn’t respond.

Instead, I saved the chat history and walked into the mansion.

Less than half an hour after I got home, Kason arrived with a large bouquet of roses.

The roses were fragrant, but I could still detect that unique sweetness on him.

Before, he had only carried my scent.

But now, it was no longer mine.

When I pushed him away, Kason looked momentarily stunned but quickly recovered.

He kissed the corner of my mouth, as if coaxing a child, and spoke softly to me for a long time.

In the past, this was how he would calm me down when he made me angry, and I would always forgive him after just a few words.

But this time, I didn’t want to forgive.

Seeing my lack of response, Kason pulled out a red velvet box from his pocket.

"Luisa, look what this is."

I opened the box to find the royal diamond ring I had wanted for so long.

Back then, Kason had felt guilty for not being able to buy it for me.

But now, seeing the hidden guilt in his eyes, I knew it was just a bribe after his betrayal.

Remembering the promises Kason had made to me, I instinctively looked at him.

"Luisa, I’ve finally given it to you, this ring that belongs only to you."

"From now on, it’s just you and me, forever."

My fingers traced the ring, but my heart felt as if it were being torn apart.

Kason, you still remember the promises you made back then, so how could you change your heart now?

With a bitter smile, I took off the ring, but Kason grabbed my hand, his voice urgent.

"Luisa, what are you doing?"

"Don’t you like it anymore?"

A flash of panic crossed Kason’s eyes, but I hid my feelings and spoke calmly.

"Rings are most meaningful when given on the wedding day."

I saw Kason visibly relax, but my heart ached unbearably.

Once, I had hoped to grow old with you, to spend our lives together.

But now, Kason, we have no future.

He put the ring away, slapping his forehead in frustration.

"It’s my fault for being so impatient, Luisa."

"But the thought of finally being able to marry you makes me so eager."

Kason grew more and more excited as he spoke, and in the past, I would have been moved to tears.

But now, I just looked at him calmly, my face expressionless.

Seeing my calm demeanor, a flicker of guilt passed through his eyes, and he was about to say something.

But then his phone lit up, and Kason’s face darkened, only to turn excited the moment he saw the message.

He scrolled through the screen, his Adam’s apple bobbing, a flash of desire in his eyes.

Then he turned off the screen and sighed, feigning regret.

"Luisa, I’m sorry, but something’s come up at the office. I have to go."

Before I could respond, Kason rushed out, not even grabbing his coat.

I still called out to him, "Is it really something important?"

He froze at my words, then smiled and said, "Of course it is. Why would I lie to you? Wait for me, I’ll be back."

Then he turned and left without hesitation.

I knew he was going to see Ximena.

And I knew he wouldn’t be coming back tonight.

Looking at the empty room, I suddenly laughed.

I had once told him that if he lied to me and I found out, I would leave his world forever.

Kason, since you lied to me.

We’ll never see each other again.
