"The entire wealthy circle in Seattle knew how much Stella Carlson loved Aaron Malone. People watched the childhood sweethearts grow from inexperience to maturity, finally getting married in a grand wedding ceremony.

On the day of the wedding, despite the alliance between the Carlson and Malone families, the groom ran away. Stella knew that Aaron had rushed to L.A. to take care of his ex-girlfriend, who had attempted suicide.

Unwilling to become the laughingstock of all Seattle, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number of her adversary, her tone almost commanding, "Ethan, come and marry me now. This is your only chance for revenge."

On the other end, Ethan Powers raised an eyebrow as he gripped his phone, staring at the floor littered with cigarette butts. "Did the groom run away?" he asked. "My darling."

After editing a Moments post for quite some time, Stella clicked "send" under Ethan's watchful gaze. Once she posted it, he didn't think to check for other people's responses, just silently gave her post a like. Then, feeling good, he tidied up the cookie wrappers on the table and leisurely went to take a shower.


Even though there was a time difference, it was already early morning in the United States. But not long after, her post received quite a few likes.


In the SnapChat group, Layla sent a message promptly, "My friend, weren't you hesitating just a few hours ago? What's with this Moments post now?"


Thinking back to her mindset in the evening, Stella couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. She bit her lip, typing with a smile, "Well, life always throws unexpected surprises, doesn't it?"


For example, Ethan's unexpected confession.


Stella replied, "I guess you could say... I've chased him down."
