Love Vanishes, Emotion Dissipates

Returning home with blood all over my face, I told my parents to inform our relatives and friends to cancel tomorrow's engagement banquet.

My mother carefully dressed my wound, and my father made phone calls one by one.

Suddenly, someone banged on the door heavily. It was Joseph's parents.

"We heard about what happened today. It's Bianca's fault. We haven't proposed to break off the engagement yet. How dare you cancel it?" Joseph's mother looked at me unhappily and sat on the sofa.

She pointed at me and kept scolding me, saying that I was jealous, that I was old and unattractive, and that I didn't treat Joseph with enough respect when we were out.

I showed her the video of Joseph messing around in the private cinema. She looked at me and said triumphantly, "It's because Joseph is so outstanding. You're not the only one who wants to be with him. This girl looks gentler and much more considerate than you."

"No wonder Joseph is so shameless. It turns out that shamelessness runs in your family!" I retorted.

My mother was so angry that she wanted to drive them away. Joseph's mother scolded me while walking out, and when she stood at the door, she even called me unwanted second-hand goods.

After kicking away Joseph's parents, I lay on the bed in the room and looked at the engagement items piled up in the room, tears streaming down my face.

Before I fell asleep, my phone rang, and I heard Joseph's furious voice on the other end of the line. He said, "Bianca, I'm downstairs at your place. Get your ass down here and go back with me to apologize to my mom!"

I didn't want to waste my time talking to him, so I hung up the phone. He shouted my name downstairs at the top of his lungs.

It was already late at night, and the neighbors around were awakened by his shouting. I had to get dressed and go downstairs.

Just as I walked downstairs, he opened the trunk and said to me with deep affection, "Bianca, I was wrong today. Nothing happened between me and Holly. Trust me." He even swore.

If it were in the past, I would have definitely cheered and been thrilled when I saw roses in the trunk. But now, I couldn't help feeling disgusted. I shook his hand pulling me away and said decisively, "You have feelings for Holly, right? Then marry her. I won't be in your way."

He quickly knelt down on one knee, took out a diamond ring, and said to me, "Baby, I really know I was wrong. It was just because I was drunk. I wasn't thinking. You're the only one I love. I was just playing with her. Trust me, I have completely cut ties with her."

Seeing that I was not moved at all, he stood up and said to me with a sinister look, "Bianca, I have already let go. Why can't you? Don't forget that I have those videos of yours. If you dare to cancel the engagement, I will post it."

He threatened me with a video of me being bullied, which shattered my last bit of feelings for him.

I met him in a counseling room. I went to counseling after being bullied, and he went to counseling after being dumped by his girlfriend, and then we gradually became familiar with each other.

I always thought that Joseph understood me and candidly revealed all the unbearable memories of my past to him. He said he felt sorry for me and wanted to know about my past. He watched all those videos of me being bullied.

I never imagined that these videos would now become a sharp knife for him to stab me with.

I bit my lip hard and said word by word, "How can you be so shameless? Can't we part on good terms? I beg you, please let me go."

He pinched my chin and said, "You messed with me first. You don't get to break up with me. Only I can break up with you. I'm not done playing you yet. If you don't show up at tomorrow's engagement banquet, I will post those videos. Let's see how you can endure the eyes of your colleagues."

After saying that, he pressed my head and deeply kissed my lips. I struggled hard, yet even biting his lip wouldn't help.

"Bianca, you can only be mine. You must show up at tomorrow's engagement banquet."

He pried my finger and put a diamond ring on it. Then he stuffed the roses in the car into my arms and then drove away.

I threw the withering roses into the trash can and made up my mind.

Since he insists on getting engaged, I will give him a big surprise tomorrow.
