I had been in a secret relationship with my childhood sweetheart, Garrison, for three years.
I had always been looking forward to the day he would propose.
But after waiting for three years, what I got instead was a blank check from him. He said, "Delia's back. I can't let her know about your existence. As long as you're willing to leave the country, you can fill in this check for any amount you want."
Only then did I realize that I had always been a stand-in for his true love, Delia.
Heartbroken and devastated, I refused to accept his attempt to pay me off and turned to leave.
The next day when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a foreign country.
Three years later, when his life with his true love had become a mess, he remembered me and sent someone to bring me back.
But when he saw the wedding ring on my ring finger, he cried his eyes out like a madman.

Half Storm, Half Scar

Delia saw Conrad appear and, after hearing our conversation, felt a surge of guilt and immediately wanted to turn and leave.


Conrad noticed her movement but his expression remained unchanged as he coldly said, "So you're the one who said my darling was someone else's mistress? Do you know the legal consequences of spreading rumors?"


"What darling? Melody, are you married?"


I calmly nodded, "Yes, we've been married for almost three years. My husband and I are very much in love. You really don't need to worry, I won't be competing with you for Garrison."


I just wanted to stay far away from him from now on, like strangers who had never met.


Hearing my words, Delia finally realized she had truly misunderstood me.


I wasn't so magnanimous as to easily forgive someone who had hurt me.


I didn't respond and pulled Conrad away to leave.
