Seven Years of Deep Love

After seven years of hard work with Samuel Harper, we finally moved from the basement to a large apartment in the city center where the lands were more costful.

Everyone thought we were going to get married, but he proposed to his ex-girlfriend who had abandoned him. The woman was divorced and had a child.

These people made fun of me, and his friends even made bets, thinking that I would pester Samuel and compromise since I loved him so much.

As I left them with disappointment, Samuel was confident and said, "She will definitely come back to me within a week."

But week after week, I didn't appear.

Samuel called me one night, "Fiona Cooper, you are being unreasonable because you want me to coax you, don't you?"

The man beside me chuckled, "Don't worry, Mr. Harper. I can coax her."

Samuel went crazy from then on...

***

Samuel was going to propose to me.

I was sure of it perhaps because I saw an oversized diamond ring he hid in the innermost layer of the closet, or because it was the seventh year I had been fighting with him.

In these seven years, we moved from a damp and dilapidated basement to a luxurious flat in the city center. I was both his partner and dear lover.

I firmly believed that Samuel would marry me.

Thus, I also bought an expensive men's diamond ring, preparing to give him a surprise when he proposed to me.

A big "surprise" indeed came soon.

The person Samuel proposed to was not me, but Della Turner, his ex-girlfriend, who was divorced and had a child.

In the video, Della's eyes were red, and she nodded shyly and said yes. Samuel, who was kneeling on one knee, was so excited while hearing this answer that his eyes turned red and he hugged her tightly.

The engagement ring was the one I saw in the closet.

The video was sent by Samuel's good friend, Jason Turner, and he even wrote a caption: [I'm so sorry, Fiona, but my sister won this round.]

The man and Samuel had been friends since their student days. As soon as the company went public, Samuel asked me to stay at home to rest, saying he was worried that I would be tired. Later, Jason took my place soon.

It turned out that Samuel chose him because he was Della's brother...

The truth made me dizzy, and I lost the ability to think in an instant.
