67.6 % Chapter 13 Chapter 13 On the eve of my wedding , just as I was about to sleep , the housekeeper knocked on my door with milk .
Miss , theres someone outside … she hesitated , telling me about a man asking for me .
My mother had instructed everyone to ignore him , but the housekeeper couldnt help feeling sorry for him .
After she closed the door , I walked to the window .
From my vantage point , I could see Luke leaning against his car , cigarette butts scattered around his feet .
By some twist of fate , he looked up , meeting my gaze .
His empty eyes suddenly sparked to life .
I drew the curtains and ordered security to remove him .
A commotion erupted below , with Luke shouting my name .
The struggle lasted nearly fifteen minutes , until thunder rolled overhead .
Let him be , I called the security back .
The guard returned , wiping sweat from his wrinkled uniform .
Miss , hes demanding to see you .
Ignore him .
Rain started falling .
Luke wasnt stupid after being chased off like a stray dog , he must have left .
But when I woke to thunderclaps in the dead of night , he was still there under the streetlight , drenched in the downpour, stubbornly staring at my bedroom window .
He could barely stand .
Too little , too late .
I went back to sleep , dreamless .
By morning , he was gone without a trace .
The makeup artist praised how photogenic I looked , but the woman in the mirror didnt smile ..
Gavin was waiting when I emerged in my wedding dress .
He carried me to the car .
At the venue , there were flowers and applause everywhere .
The weather was perfect , unusually bright .
Under my parents proud gaze , Gavin took my hand , the ring approaching my finger .

All eyes turned .
Luke stood there in a new suit , but his face was haggard , with dark circles and hollow cheeks .
He walked forward until security blocked him .
His father , the head of the Thompson family , was turning green with rage .
Yvonne , marry me .
Come back to me .
Luke dropped to one knee .
The crowd gasped .
I forced a smile , turning to Gavin .
Why havent you put it on yet ? Gavin slipped the diamond ring onto my finger .
Luke remained kneeling , swaying slightly .
His hands trembled as he held out a ring .
I approached him , my dress trailing behind me .
His face lit up with hope , but the bloodshot eyes made him look haunting .
I took his ring and threw it onto the lawn .
Youre too late .
Luke suddenly stood , pulling out a knife .
