Years of Love Reduced to Nothing

Blood streamed steadily from Sunny’s neck at this time.

“What are you standing there for? Call an ambulance!” Sebastian who usually composed brows furrowed his brows tightly as he barked orders at his assistant.

Some of the guests who knew me as Sebastian's fiancée looked at me with pity but they did not dare to do anything.

Sebastian did not look at me at all, at least not until the paramedic brought Sunny away. However, there was no love in his gaze at all. Instead, they were full of hatred.

“Do you have any idea how important Sunny’s neck and hands are to her as a model? By hurting her so recklessly not only you are turning yourself into her enemy but you're also becoming me and the whole Charm Corporation!"

As I stared at him, the last sliver of affection I had for him crumbled into ashes. Ignoring his accusation, I forced my body to stop trembling and asked coldly, "The necklace Sunny designed … tell me, why does it look exactly like the one I submitted for the jewelry competition years ago?"

Then I inquired again, "Don't tell me it is just a coincidence. The only one who knows my computer's password is you!"

A flicker of guilt flashed across his face. However, he quickly retorted sharply, "What are you implying? Are you saying that I stole your design and gave it to Sunny?"

"Is that how little you think of me, Carrie?" he asked indignantly. "Do you really see me as such a despicable person? Or are you so jealous of Sunny that you’d make up such a lie to discredit her?”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Noticing the murmurs around us, Sebastian softened his expression and took my hand, then he said, "Carrie, let me explain. That’s not what I meant. Sunny is my company's model and designer. I was just trying to prevent major losses for the company. That’s why I acted so anxious.”

He added, "I was too rash earlier. I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you. Forgive me.”

When he saw I kept my silence, he pulled me into his arms and patted my back gently, then said gently, “Go home and rest first. Once I’ve taken care of everything, we’ll go to the City Hall, okay?”

“Hmm,” I murmured vaguely while thinking that this moment would be the last time we ever saw each other.

Shortly after Sebastian left, Sunny eagerly sent me a message. When I opened the photo that she sent, I saw a photo of Sebastian holding a plate of desserts. He was feeding Sunny piece by piece.

[Do you see this? Even though you two are about to get married, the person Sebastian cares about the most is me.]

[Carrie, you may excel in academics and have a great social circle, I can't beat you on those things but when it comes to stealing men, you’ll never beat me!]

I did not reply to her message but Sunny took my silence as she had won and continued sending me updates about her and Sebastian. However, I would never expect that Sebastian would put the family heirloom that my grandmother had given me on her wrist.

[This thing is so outdated. I don't know where Sebastian got this, but he insisted on giving it to me.]

At this very moment, I was so in rage. She could insult me all she wanted, but mocking my grandmother’s cherished heirloom? That was unforgivable.

Before I boarded my plane, I opened the booking page for the honeymoon suite Sebastian and I had reserved then I transferred the reservation to Sunny. Then I texted her. [Since you love robbing my men so much, I'll give you this suit for you to play with him.]

In our two years of dating, Sebastian had never once touched me. We had planned to consummate our marriage on the night of our wedding registration.

Once the transfer was successful, I sent Sebastian a picture. I purposely sent a provocative one. In the picture, there it was, on the bed, under dim, romantic lighting, lay a black lace lingerie set.

Then after I sent the message to my ex-husband, I removed my SIM card and tossed both it and my phone into the trash.

Sebastian would never expect what he would find when he opened the couple's suit door. He would be stunned for sure.
