When Love Breaks by jack

I must admit it hit me hard When I married Bryant, we skipped the fancy engagement party showed up grudgingly. It was nothing grand because Bryant: Ferguson family and a few close friends from both sides. It was the wedding was something Timothy threw together Bryant just ented to keep it low key. The only ones at the wedding were the as a dinner party From the day we got married to when we divorced, outsiders only saw how Bryant spoiled his wife, but hardly anyone knew who his wife was. I tried to keep my emotions in check and looked away, only to glimpse Bryant in a custom tuxedo, stepping in with aloof elegance Dorothy, dressed in a gown I designed, was clasping his arm. They looked like a perfect couple, dazzling the guests as soon as they appeared. Many people were eager to cozy up to them.

But Dorothy made her way toward me with the poise of a hostess. "Ms. Webster, we only invited you today in case any last-minute issues with the dress happened. I hope it doesn't upset you Christine warned in a low voice, "Dorothy, I'd advise you not to spoil your big day"Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Christine was savvy at work but had never been someone people could push around in her personal life. Tit for tat was a fair game Anyone daring to mess with her wouldn't end well.

Dorothy snapped, "Did I even speak to you?"

"I'm perfectly fine," I reassured Christine, fixing my gaze on Dorothy. "I wish you a happy marriage"

I wished they could stop paying attention to an insignificant ex-wife like me. I just wanted to get out of this mess. The engagement party marked the end of it all. Throughout, I didn't let my eyes wander to Bryant once. I couldn't bear to, nor did I dare to Dorothy paused, surprised, "Well, Ms. Webster, I see you can let go."

Bryant looked down at her, a cold glint in his eyes. "Aren't we the same? A marriage of convenience, nothing more."

Dorothy tried to embarrass me but ended up humiliating herself with her words. She pouted at Bryant. "So what? You're divorced from her now. But once you marry me, we're together for life!"

I was unsure if Dorothy meant that for Bryant or me.

I wasn't about to stick around and make a fool of myself. Seizing the moment while Dorothy and Bryant were bantering, I pulled Christine to a quieter corner.

Dorothy had no chance to bother me further. Probably, she just wanted to rub it in my face, showing off her place by Bryant's side During the ve ceremony, they even played a song I used to love. As the music was on, my thoughts drifted far away. So many times, I had imagined a future with Bryant while listening to that song. But right then, he was with another woman.

Suddenly, a gasp from the stage jolted everyone, followed by a murmur among the guests. Given the status of both families involved, no ve ope dared to speak, though their expressions varied. Snapping back to reality, I saw Dorothy's dress slipping from her shoulders, barely caught at her waist, exposing more than intended.

My head buzzed as Christine exclaimed, "Oh my god.... oh my god. Jane How could this happen?"

I clenched my hand. "I have no idea..."
