I Gave Up After Failing To Pull My Lover

“Oh, you’re married now. Congratulations! When will the wedding ceremony be?” his friends said behind him in shock.

“I knew it. William loves you so much. He must be in a hurry to marry you now that you’re an adult.”

Before we got married, William did a lot for me.

He would tutor me whenever I studied, and he would take the blame for me whenever I did something wrong. He was very much a part of my life.

Whenever I asked to go somewhere, he would immediately bring me out. Whenever I wanted to eat something, I would get it within half an hour.

Everyone thought that William loved me a lot, but this was not love to him.

“You’ve misunderstood—”

Before I could finish talking, William interrupted me coldly.

“She’s neither the one I love, nor the person I want to marry.”

He seemed to recall something as he grimaced. He did not even want to spare me a glance.

“She’s the one who misunderstood my actions and secretly registered our marriage behind my back. I didn’t agree to marry her, and I’d definitely never marry her.”

I found the situation a little funny.

“Why do you think you’re the one I married?”

“Who else would it be if it’s not me? I already asked Adam to pass my message to you. Why do you insist on not letting me go? Is it fun for you to force yourself on others?”

William’s gaze was cold, and it was obvious that he was disgusted with me.

I was about to retort that he could dream on when I saw Mandy standing behind him with teary eyes.

“William, if you’ve married her, what are we, then? Won’t I turn into a homewrecker? I don’t want that.”

She turned around to leave, but William anxiously grabbed her arm and hugged her.

He coaxed her softly, just like how he used to talk to me.

“Ignore her. You’re the person I love. Even if she forced the marriage on me, I’ll divorce her. I’ll only marry you.

“Mandy, ever since you took good care of me and donated your blood to save my life, I swore that I would marry you and care for you in return.

“So, please don’t let me go, alright?”

My best friend, Vicky White, exclaimed in shock, “Weren’t you the one who saved—”

I stopped her from talking.

Three months ago, William had gone out to stop a boat. Someone slashed his chest with a machete, and he was in critical condition that night.

I was the one who kept donating my blood to him and saved his life.

However, the truth got twisted, and Mandy took my place as his savior.

No wonder he hated me so much when Mandy died in the past.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

It was a fact that he kicked my life-saving medication away, and he ignored me for ten years.

To serenade Mandy, William asked the bar manager for a guitar and sang her a love song in front of everyone.

When his gaze landed on me, he paused for a moment before ignoring me.

He was singing the song that he had written for me when I was eighteen.

“Jade, I hope we’ll always be this happy together. I hope to sing this song for you for all of your future birthdays.”

I was disgusted, so I made up an excuse and left.

When I reached the corner, someone threw a basin full of powder at me.

Having asthma, I could not breathe in such a thing. I started losing my breath as I pressed my hand against my chest. Then, I fell to my knees.

“Why are you scheming against me? William just picked me up when you got someone to register your marriage secretly.

“Did you think that would deter me? Impossible. William says that he loves me.”

It was Mandy!

I bit my tongue to keep myself from passing out. I took out my inhaler but before I could use it, Mandy kicked it aside.

“Do you know what William told me?” Mandy crouched down smugly as she spoke. “He said that he only feels alive when he’s with me. I’m the one who makes him realize that his life is also—”

“Jade!”

Vicky rushed forward and pushed Mandy away. I grabbed Vicky with great difficulty. “Inhaler… My inhaler…”

When I finally got my inhaler, I recovered. Mandy realized that something was wrong, so she tried to run away.

“Who told you that I would accept being hurt this way? How dare you do this to me?”

I grabbed her hair to hit her head against the wall. Just then, someone pressed the cold barrel of a gun against the back of my head.

“Let her go.”
