Chapter 2 Chapter 2 I remembered how Jackson had wavered over Saras name while finalizing our wedding guest list .
Adding it , deleting it , over and over .
When I asked why , he just smiled and said , Shes traveling the world .
She wouldnt come back just for this .
So she was his first love .
His Instagram was still open on the screen .
I found Saras profile and clicked through .
Their message history was gone , but her latest post made my heart sink : The man I love is getting married ? Well , Im going to sabotage his wedding car and crash the whole thing ! Jacksons response below : It wouldnt change anything .
I still wont marry you .
Fine ! Must mean youve found your soulmate , right ? What are you talking about ? Whatever ! With your controlling family , being your wife would be like being a servant .
No thanks ! I know .
Thats why Im marrying who they want me to marry .
I just couldnt bear to see you trapped like that .
Couldnt bear to .
Those words felt foreign coming from Jackson .
Wed met through a matchmaker .
He was everything on paper young , successful , the youngest associate chief physician at a prestigious hospital , with movie star looks .
But his controlling parents .
were why he remained single .
They wanted the perfect traditional daughter in law : submissive , hardworking , intuitive , and servile .
Because the moment I first saw Jackson, I thought : for that face , Id do anything .
Two years together .
His parents adored me .
He grew accustomed to coming home to spotless floors , hot meals , and freshly pressed shirts .
But he remained distant , politely detached .
Until his birthday this year .
I decided to bake him a cake .
The oven exploded during preheating .
When they rushed me to the ER , arm covered in glass shards , he came running .
For the first time , I saw panic in his eyes .
He held my face , voice shaking : You dont have to do all this for me … Please , you dont have to … I thought then that he truly cared .
Later , he proposed .

Until last night , when I saw his exchange with Sara .
Sara the one he loved enough to let go .
The screens harsh glow illuminated my face .
In that moment , I knew this had to end .
