A mere seven days before the nuptials, heavy snowfall rendered the roads impassable. Luckily, I had preemptively filled the house with provisions.
Clyde welcomed his old flame and began cohabiting with her.
He cunningly persuaded me to reside at a companion's vacation home, which was devoid of sustenance and refreshments.
He and his former sweetheart ostentatiously displayed their sumptuous meals on Instagram Stories each day.
I endured hunger in the lodge, bereft of food, water, and electrical power.
Once the roads were cleared, he dispatched urgent messages during the wedding preparations.
I had already retreated to my family's residence. I sent him a communication stating, "I'll allow you two to be together."

A Snowy Nightmare

The news of Clyde's financial troubles splashing across headlines could only mean one thing: his family had abandoned him. It seemed inevitable that his younger sibling would soon be at the helm of the company.


I couldn't suppress a chuckle, pondering whether Clyde would eventually regret sacrificing his inheritance for Betty when he had nothing left. Would Betty remain loyal when his wealth dried up, or would she vanish at the first sign of financial distress?


Clyde caught my laughter over the phone, which only intensified his agitation.


"Angela, what's so amusing? Does my misery and ruin bring you joy?" His voice wavered between fury and despair, bordering on tears.


I ceased laughing and responded coolly.


"Clyde, we all must face the consequences of our decisions. You chose Betty, so it's your responsibility to provide for her and your child using your own means."
