05:06and texted him i needed to end it in person not that it counted as a breakup you can't break
05:13up
05:13with someone who never even admitted you existed to him i was just a hookup he never had to answer
05:18for i went to his office i reached for the handle then a voice slipped through the door soft sweet
05:24calling we should totally do paris next weekend hold on isabella there's something i need to tell you
05:30my stomach dropped paris a proposal that's what this was then the sound fabric shifting something
05:39scraping the floor in his office where he used to take me before i could stop myself i shoved the
05:46door
05:46open alex was sprawled on the leather sofa isabella was crouched at his feet gathering scattered papers
05:54tight pencil skirt sheer black stockings anyone walking in would have assumed the same thing
06:00i swallowed the bile rising in my throat and forced a smile i wasn't gonna let them see me break
06:06what a coincidence my wedding is next weekend i just emailed you the evise alex don't forget to check
06:12it isabella looped her arm around alex's overplaying her excitement oh my god kathleen you're getting

07:14sister's all grown up two minutes later he posted it to instagram it was the first text from alex in
07:21days he clearly saw ethan's post think this through kathleen is this really what you want using your
07:28brother to pressure me into proposing ethan slid a glass of beer across the bar to me he'd noticed
07:34something was off and dragged me out for a drink maybe it was the alcohol maybe the guilt had
07:40finally gotten too heavy to carry but i couldn't hold it in anymore i had to tell my brother the
07:47one
07:47person who loved me most ethan i need to confess something i slept with your best friend you mean
07:54alex k i knew you had a crush on him in high school he was your first love right i
08:00nodded slowly

08:42is strictly off limits my brother and his best friend were at each other's throats and it was
08:49all because of me so you know did kathlyn tell you ethan grabbed alex by his collar pulling him close

09:20bar tvs made my skull throb stop just stop i pressed my palms against the bar trying to steady
09:28myself my head felt like two semis were crashing into each other inside my skull alex insisted on
09:35taking me home he swore he wouldn't ditch me halfway this time ethan didn't look happy about it but he
09:40let him alex scooped me up and carried me toward the parking lot if you just stopped fighting me for
09:44once i would alex's friends were walking out of the vip exit isabella was right in the middle he
09:50suddenly let go i was too drunk to catch myself i hit the ground hard and winced oh this is
09:56kathleen
09:58ethan's sister she got totally wasted so i'm just giving her a ride the explanation came too quickly
10:03too defensively like he'd just been caught cheating he hauled me to my feet no carrying this time just an
10:12awkward grip on my arm maybe it was the alcohol but a sudden rush of courage flooded my chest i
10:18lifted
10:18my chin and smiled at the group hey everyone since i'm just the best friend's sister you're all
10:24invited to my wedding next weekend why can't you ever just behave did you really have to embarrass me
10:31in front of everyone alex shoved me into the passenger seat started the engine and sped through
10:36the dark streets to drop me off the second i made it inside i barely reached the bathroom before i
10:42threw up then i stumbled into my bedroom opened my closet and pulled out my love diary three years
10:51of a secret affair all of it pressed between those pages movie dates flights secret dinners abroad
10:57i'd hidden it carefully terrified someone might find it because i knew alex would hate that
11:03i grabbed scissors and cut page after page memory after memory until the whole thing was shredded
11:10beyond recognition then i dumped every last piece into the trash bin outside three years
11:15tossed out like garbage the next morning ethan told me alex had vanished he didn't show up
11:21at echo tech for a week no one knew where he went honestly ethan i don't care i have a
11:27wedding
11:27to plan ethan smiled softly patting my hair infectionately the night before the wedding
11:33i posted an ig story finally saying yes tomorrow for real this time the reactions flooded in instantly
11:43likes comments congratulations pouring in from every direction tears pricked my eyes this was what
11:50it felt like a relationship you could share with the world one that didn't have to hide and i was
11:57feeling it for the first time then my phone rang it was alex i was getting married tomorrow why was
12:04he
12:04calling now i hesitated then swiped to accept deafening club music and roaring cheers blasted through the
12:13speaker alex oh hey it was isabella why was she calling me from alex's phone alex hated anyone
12:23touching his phone and yet somehow isabella was holding it oops just playing with alex's phone and
12:30pushed the wrong button i was about to hang up when someone background shouted truth or dare alex what's
12:36your biggest regret alex's voice drifted over sounding drunk biggest regret dragging out a
12:43situation for way too long she checked all the boxes but man she was too needy always pushing for
12:50some kind of commitment you know how clingy younger girls get exactly women start pushing for commitment
12:58and suddenly the fun's gone you need a girl like isabella young pretty and actually chill about it
13:09isabella's sugary voice slipped back in stop it you guys alex might already have a girlfriend
13:16wouldn't she be upset hearing all this oh please he's been single for what three years
13:22never seen him tied down alex didn't say a word
13:25i laughed under my breath and cursed myself what exactly had i been waiting for
13:31then another guy phi shouted over the music okay next question craziest thing you've done recently
13:38unbothered planning planning a proposal
13:44i already bought the ring just waiting for the perfect moment the entire table lost their minds
13:49whistles cheering it's isabella right you two practically live at the office
13:54no wonder you're always working late you've totally been hooking up i couldn't listen anymore
13:59i hung up and blocked his number i stepped into the mermaid gown i had dreamed of since i was
14:04a
14:04little girl i snapped a mirror selfie and posted it to my ig story today's the day 10 minutes later
14:11a dm popped up from alex is he still drunk oh shit i had forgotten to block him on ig
14:19i blocked his
14:20account for good locked my phone and set it down a few minutes later my wedding coordinator knocked
14:25it's time when the doors opened my hands were shaking i stepped into the custom crystal heels
14:31thorn had designed for me my steps echoed softly down the aisle
14:37thorn was gentle the whole way through steady in a way that helped quiet my nerves
14:42we exchanged rings the priest was just about to start our vows everything was unfolding perfectly
14:49until raised voices echoed from the hallway the chapel doors slammed open alex stormed in
14:55he was dressed in a custom white tuxedo looking exactly like a groom earlier that morning alex had
15:02woken up with a pounding hangover he opened instagram and saw my post me in a wedding dress holding a
15:11bouquet glowing with happiness alex stared at the photo for a long time a smug grin spread across
15:16his face his heart beating uncontrollably he typed out a quick dm to me since you're already in a wedding
15:22dress i'll give you what you've always wanted wait for me he opened the drawer and reached in
15:30pulling out two velvet boxes each one held a ring ones he'd bought and tucked away meant for our
15:39anniversary he'd hidden them away but now he figured he had to bring them out early to marry me then
15:48he
15:48slipped into a fresh custom white tuxedo staring into the mirror he pictured the two of us me to
15:55have and to hold altar from this day forward exchanging our vows the image made him smile he pulled up
16:04my
16:04post check the location tag and headed out on the way to the chapel his phone rang
16:12hey bro just wanted to say good luck today after you admitted last night that the ring was actually
16:19for kathleen nobody's making isabella jokes anymore good don't let any of those stupid jokes get back to
16:26her she'll throw a fit whoever has apollo bisar before it trees right on here sorry bro we wouldn't
16:33do that again oh and heads up i think isabella used your phone to call kathleen after you were drunk
16:38it's fine this is though but what is here she's just playing this fake wedding game to get my attention
16:44anyway by the time he reached the chapel he was smiling he adjusted his collar in the rearview mirror
16:53smoothed his hair and stepped out time to punish this lying little kitty a burly security guard
17:01stepped into his path private wedding sir invites only i don't need an invite i'm the groom alex
17:10coughed i need to be our scurry some drozing their fempriate getter alex scoffed today's groom is
17:16mr thorn sterling the guard didn't move impossible you've got the wrong guy
17:21he firmly believed that i would never marry anyone but him he let out a low laugh she's really taking
17:28this joke far he could already picture it he'd push those doors open and i would run down the aisle
17:35in
17:35my dress throwing myself into his arms crying that i finally got what i wanted the guard interrupted his
17:41fantasy he pointed to the massive welcome sign near the entrance a breathtaking engagement photo of me
17:47and thorn with our names printed under it in elegant gold script and it's guys i blast it's your mate
17:54avicar no that guy's a paid actor no i don't know his actor she's faking this wedding to provoke me
18:02you don't get it this entire setup is for me she pushes boundaries when she wants attention
18:07then he stopped dead i was standing at the altar in my magnificent dress
18:13bouquette in hand bathed in golden sunlight alex's jaw dropped then the priest asked
18:21kathleen black do you take thown sterling to be your lawfully wedded husband i looked into thorn's eyes
18:28and smiled softly i do wait alex roared his voice cracking stop the wedding there's been a mistake
18:39ethan thought alex was just running late he grabbed alex's arm trying to pull him into a seat
18:44alex ripped his arm away and marched straight towards the altar well played kathleen you win
18:50you wanted to marry me you wanted to go public well here i am now pay off this cheap actor
18:54you hired
18:55and let's go i never expected alex to show up and cause a scene what i expected even less he
19:00actually believed this wedding was ours before anyone else could react ethan launched forward
19:05he grabbed alex by the sleeve absolutely furious are you out of your damn mind stop making a scene
19:11sit down before you humiliate yourself any further and if you ruin my sister's wedding i swear to god
19:18i will end you something shifted in alex's expression like a memory clicking into place he pulled out his
19:24phone opened his personal email he scrolled and found it the official wedding invitation i had
19:29sent him days ago still unread it was real i never lied i wasn't trying to make him jealous i
19:35wasn't
19:36trapping him i was actually marrying another man defeated and pale alex stumbled into a seat next to
19:41ethan his eyes burned with helpless rage locked on me he looked at me with such overwhelming tenderness
19:47my heart skipped a beat he slid the diamond ring onto my finger then lifted my veiled and in front
19:53of
19:53everyone he kissed me after the ceremony thorn led me toward the bridal suite but alex stumbled into
20:00our path and blocked the way drunk eyes bloodshot move thorn firmly pushed me behind his broad shoulder
20:06you better rethink whatever you're about to do your little startup is in a critical vc funding round one call
20:11from me and every investor backing echo tech disappears by morning i don't give a damn alex
20:17struggled wildly his red eyes fixated on me kathlin we were together for three years how could you do
20:24this to me he slapped alex across the face hard first you were never together you exploited her
20:29feelings for three years while offering nothing then another punch harder alex hit the wall a trickle
20:37of blood sliding down his lip second who the hell do you think you are raising your voice at my
20:43wife
20:43he lifted his hand again ready for a third i caught his wrist he stopped instantly i stepped around him
20:49and faced alex the pathetic man i'd loved so desperately i lifted my hand and slapped him with
20:55everything i had i had held back that slap for three years alex you said your biggest regret was dragging
21:02out a relationship with a needed girl well let me tell you mine my biggest regret was wasting three
21:07years loving you but thankfully three years wasn't that long it was just enough time to realize you're
21:12absolutely worthless i reached for thorn's hand we turned and walked away behind me alex broke inside
21:20the quiet bridal suite i pulled out a first aid kit and carefully dabbed antiseptic on thorn's knuckles
21:25alex's earring must have nicked his skin when thorn hit him his hand was still bleeding i noticed him
21:30quietly studying my face i'm not mad that you hit him really that chapter is over thorn didn't push
21:35for details he just pulled me into his arms holding me tight my mind wandered back to the day we
21:40first
21:41met a month before the wedding i told him everything the three-year secret affair the three rejected
21:45proposals the lies the tears if this makes you uncomfortable we can cancel i'd even offered him
21:50an out i don't care about your past i just want you he'd only looked at me and said after
21:54we got
21:55engaged i took him to meet my grandma she was crying when she took his hands you two will be
21:59happy
21:59take care of my kate k i'd been close to her since i was a little girl she bought me
22:03my first puppy
22:04her alzheimer's had stolen so much from her even as her memories faded she remembered me in my wedding
22:09even today he'd personally driven across the city to bring her to the chapel thorn suddenly murmured
22:14breaking the silence you know when alex crashed the chapel i thought you might run away with him
22:18right in front of your grandma i thought of alex bursting in wearing that ridiculous white suit it was
22:23so pathetic never i only want you i'm your wife thorn i smiled tracing his arm i laced my fingers
22:29through his trying to reassure him but kathleen there's something i need to confess a sudden
22:34wave of panic hit my chest what was he going to say thorn let out a soft laugh and rubbed
22:39my tense
22:39shoulders relax sweetheart don't be so anxious i just wanted to tell you i fell in love with you
22:44at first sight three years ago at a charity gala i stopped breathing he had been watching me i asked
22:49around afterward but i heard you were supposedly taken so i waited when my family started setting me up
22:54he made sure his name was first on the list he tucked a stray piece of hair behind my ear
22:59softly he said i knew you'd been hurt i knew trust would take time but unlike him i'll only ever
23:04cherish
23:04you i'll wait for you no matter how long it takes our honeymoon lasted a month and it felt like
23:09stepping
23:09into a life i'd only ever read about he rented a private yacht down the coast lit up the night
23:14sky
23:14with custom fireworks held my hand as we walked along beaches until my feet ached the way he looked at
23:20me
23:20made my chest ache like i was the most breathtaking sight he'd ever laid eyes on we walked through
23:26crowded city streets holding hands we kissed in public without a hint of shame my wife he introduced
23:31me to every friend with the same quiet pride no secrets no hiding no suddenly dropping my hand when
23:38someone walked by this was what true love felt like but alex still wasn't ready to let me go and
23:43he
23:43was about to ruin everything i'd blocked alex's number before the wedding but he kept calling from
23:47unknown numbers the first call his voice was furious entitled kathleen you can't do this to me you
23:52betrayed me come home right now i hung up and blocked the number the second call his voice shifted
23:57sounding sickeningly gentle come back k i'll forgive you i didn't even speak blocked that number too the
24:04third call he was sobbing barely breathing i messed up isabella meant nothing please k just give me one
24:10more chance across the room thorn quietly set a glass of juice beside me he turned to leave wanting to
24:16give
24:17me privacy i reached for his hand before he could leave and held on his eyes met mine i gave
24:21a small
24:21shake of my head he nodded then sat beside me our fingers intertwined i looked up into his eyes but
24:27spoke into the phone my voice was calm and steady this was never only about isabella eventually it
24:31would have been someone else for three years you hid me you never chose me i don't love you anymore
24:36don't call me again my husband wouldn't appreciate that then i hung up dropping the phone on the table
24:41thorn immediately pulled me against his chest for the first time in my life i felt completely
24:46utterly safe after we returned from our honeymoon ethan asked me out for coffee
24:51okay i may have seriously screwed something up i put down my latte and gently squeezed his hand i'd
24:57never be mad at you ethan then he exhaled and told me everything back when he'd seen alex buying the
25:02ring and then he told me about the fight he'd assumed what everyone else assumed but it was for
25:07isabella i just wanted to gossip but i gave you the wrong info it spiraled from there you were right
25:11and i was wrong after the wedding alex had gone to him and explained the ring had always been for
25:17me
25:17maybe it was a misunderstanding but it doesn't matter anymore does it ethan nodded i knew the truth didn't
25:22matter to him all he cared about was that alex had broken his baby sister's heart and even if alex
25:27hadn't cheated he still wasted my three years i was done making excuses for him he didn't deserve my
25:34forgiveness there's more apparently isabella's first date instagram post was completely staged
25:39she was obsessed with alex when she found out he booked a private vacation she deliberately
25:44scheduled the retreat when alex rushed over for his work emergency she secretly snapped those
25:49misdating photos to post online a pathetic attempt to erase arrival alex fired her and i cut alex off
25:56we're done you lost your best friend any regrets families before friends always speaking of alex
26:03want to know what's been going on with him i said goodbye to ethan and headed home i walked over
26:09sat on the arm press of his chair and gave his chin a gentle tilt to pull his attention away
26:14from
26:14the screens pulling me securely onto his lap so i wouldn't fall i held up my phone pointing to a
26:21breaking news headline breaking etutech funds dry up founder alex vance files for bankruptcy i fake
26:28glared pinching his nose you play the perfect gentleman so well who knew my sweet husband
26:34was secretly bankrupting people in his spare time i'm a little bit drunk i know you're the one to
26:39blame tensed slightly his grip on my waist tightening i hope i didn't overstep he looked
26:45genuinely nervous i just wanted to make him pay that bastard wasted three years of your life
26:52overstep not even close only thorn could confess to ruining a man's life and still sound like an
26:58absolute gentleman he never made me feel like i was a burden he made me feel like i was the
27:02most
27:03important person in the world well i still have to punish you i sentence you to a lifetime of sleep
27:10deprivation as a dad thorn froze slowly an unfiltered wonder flooded his dark okay i'm going to be a
27:20father i nodded bearing my face in his neck from that day on thorn became impossible in the best
27:27way he furiously researched how to be the best dad ever he bought designer cribs and transformed half
27:34our house he even drove us to my grandmother's to share the good news i think he truly kept the
27:40promise he'd made to her and from then on we lived our happily ever after
27:45father
27:45you
