07:15two minutes later he posted it to instagram it was the first text from alex in days he clearly saw
07:23ethan's post think this through kathleen is this really what you want using your brother to pressure
07:29me into proposing ethan slid a glass of beer across the bar to me he'd noticed something was off and
07:35dragged me out for a drink maybe it was the alcohol maybe the guilt had finally gotten too heavy to
07:42carry
07:43but i couldn't hold it in anymore i had to tell my brother the one person who loved me most
07:49ethan i need
07:51to confess something i slept with your best friend you mean alex k i knew you had a crush on
07:57him in
07:58high school he was your first love right i nodded slowly was it that obvious then why did alex string
08:05me along for three years ethan pulled me into a hug look now you're both moving on right it was
08:12just a
08:12small chapter in your life three years and it was just a small chapter my first love ended without so

09:18the blaring sports game on the bar tvs made my skull throb stop just stop i pressed my palms against
09:26the bar trying to steady myself my head felt like two semis were crashing into each other inside my skull
09:33alex insisted on taking me home he swore he wouldn't ditch me halfway this time ethan didn't
09:39look happy about it but he let him alex scooped me up and carried me toward the parking lot if
09:43you
09:43just stopped fighting me for once i would alex's friends were walking out of the vip exit isabella
09:49was right in the middle he suddenly let go i was too drunk to catch myself i hit the ground
09:54hard and
09:55winced oh this is kathleen ethan's sister she got totally wasted so i'm just giving her a ride the
10:02explanation came too quickly too defensively like he'd just been caught cheating he hauled me to my
10:09feet no carrying this time just an awkward grip on my arm maybe it was the alcohol but a sudden
10:16rush
10:16of courage flooded my chest i lifted my chin and smiled at the group hey everyone since i'm just the
10:22best friend's sister you're all invited to my wedding next weekend why can't you ever just behave
10:29did you really have to embarrass me in front of everyone alex shoved me into the passenger seat
10:34started the engine and sped through the dark streets to drop me off the second i made it inside
10:40i barely reached the bathroom before i threw up then i stumbled into my bedroom opened my closet
10:48and pulled out my love diary three years of a secret affair all of it pressed between those pages
10:53movie dates flights secret dinners abroad i'd hidden it carefully terrified someone might find it
11:01because i knew alex would hate that i grabbed scissors and cut page after page memory after
11:07memory until the whole thing was shredded beyond recognition then i dumped every last piece into
11:13the trash bin outside three years tossed out like garbage the next morning ethan told me alex had
11:20vanished he didn't show up at echo tech for a week no one knew where he went honestly ethan i
11:25don't care
11:26i have a wedding to 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
11:49this was what it felt like a relationship you could share with the world one that didn't have to
11:55hide and i was feeling it for the first time then my phone rang it was alex i was getting
12:03married
12:03tomorrow why was he calling now i hesitated then swiped to accept deafening club music and roaring cheers
12:10blasted through the speaker alex oh hey it was isabella why was she calling me from alex's phone
12:21alex hated anyone touching his phone and yet somehow isabella was holding it oops just playing
12:29with alex's phone and pushed the wrong button i was about to hang up when someone background shouted
12:34truth or dare alex what's your biggest regret alex's voice drifted over sounding drunk biggest regret
12:42dragging out a situation for way too long she checked all the boxes but man she was too needy
12:49always pushing for some kind of commitment you know how clingy younger girls get exactly women start
12:57pushing for commitment and suddenly the fun's gone you need a girl like isabella young pretty and
13:06actually chill about it isabella's sugary voice slipped back in stop it you guys alex might already
13:14have a girlfriend wouldn't she be upset hearing all this oh please he's been single for what three
13:21years never seen him tied down alex didn't say a word i laughed under my breath and cursed myself
13:28what exactly had i been waiting for then another guy phi shouted over the music okay next question
13:36craziest thing you've done recently unbothered 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 no wonder you're
13:55always working late you've totally been hooking up i couldn't listen anymore i hung up and blocked his
14:00number i stepped into the mermaid gown i had dreamed of since i was a little girl i snapped a
14:05mirror
14:05selfie and posted it to my ig story today's the day 10 minutes later a dm popped up from alex
14:14is he still drunk oh shit i had forgotten to block him on ig i blocked his account for good
14:20locked my
14:21phone and set it down a few minutes later my wedding coordinator knocked it's time when the doors opened
14:27my hands were shaking i stepped into the custom crystal heels thorn had designed for me my steps
14:34echoed softly down the aisle thorn was gentle the whole way through steady in a way that helped quiet
14:41my nerves we exchanged rings the priest was just about to start our vows everything was unfolding
14:48perfectly until 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 his face
15:17his heart beating uncontrollably he typed out a quick dm to me since you're already in a wedding dress
15:24i'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 to have
15:55standing at the altar from this day forward exchanging our vows the image made him smile he pulled up my
16:04post checked the location tag and headed out on the way to the chapel his phone rang hey bro just
16:14wanted to say good luck today after you admitted last night that the ring was actually for kathleen
16:19nobody's making isabella jokes anymore good don't let any of those stupid jokes get back to her
16:27she'll throw a fit whoever has apollo bisar before it trees right on here sorry bro we wouldn't do that
16:33again oh and heads up i think isabella used your phone to call kathleen after you were drunk it's fine
16:39this is though ben water's here she's just playing this fake wedding game to get my attention anyway
16:45by the time he reached the chapel he was smiling he adjusted his collar in the rear view 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 coughed
17:11i need to be our scurry some drowsing 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 he firmly believed that i
17:23would never marry anyone but him he let out a low laugh she's really taking this joke far he could
17:30already picture it he'd push those doors open and i would run down the aisle in my dress throwing
17:36myself into his arms crying that i finally got what i wanted the guard interrupted his fantasy
17:42he pointed to the massive welcome sign near the entrance a breathtaking engagement photo of me and
17:47thorn with our names printed under it in elegant gold script and it's guys i blast it's your mate abracard
17:54no that guy's a paid actor no i don't know his actor she's faking this wedding to provoke me you
18:02don't
18:02get it this entire setup is for me she pushes boundaries when she wants attention then he stopped
18:09dead i was standing at the altar in my magnificent dress bouquette in hand bathed in golden sunlight
18:17alex's jaw dropped then the priest asked kathleen black do you take thown sterling to be your lawfully
18:26wedded husband i looked into thorn's eyes and smiled softly i do wait alex roared his voice cracking
18:37stop the wedding there's been a mistake ethan thought alex was just running late he grabbed
18:42alex's arm trying to pull him into a seat alex ripped his arm away and marched straight towards
18:47the altar well played kathleen you win you wanted to marry me you wanted to go public well here i
18:53am
18:53now pay off this cheap actor you hired and let's go i never expected alex to show up and cause
18:57a
18:58scene what i expected even less he actually believed this wedding was ours before anyone
19:03else could react ethan launched forward he grabbed alex by the sleeve absolutely furious are you out of
19:09your damn mind stop making a scene sit down before you humiliate yourself any further and if you ruin
19:16my sister's wedding i swear to god i will end you something shifted in alex's expression like a
19:22memory clicking into place he pulled out his phone opened his personal email he scrolled and found it
19:27the official wedding invitation i had sent him days ago still unread it was real i never lied i wasn't
19:34trying to make him jealous i wasn't trapping him i was actually marrying another man defeated and pale
19:39alex stumbled into a seat next to ethan his eyes burned with helpless rage locked on me he looked at
19:45me with such overwhelming tenderness my heart skipped a beat he slid the diamond ring onto my finger
19:51then lifted my veiled and in front of everyone he kissed me after the ceremony thorn led me toward the
19:58bridal suite but alex stumbled into our path and blocked the way drunk eyes bloodshot move thorn firmly
20:05pushed me behind his broad shoulder you better rethink whatever you're about to do your little
20:09startup is in a critical vc funding round one call from me and every investor backing echo tech disappears
20:14by morning i don't give a damn alex struggled wildly his red eyes fixated on me kathleen we were together
20:21for three years how could you do this to me he slapped alex across the face hard first you were
20:28never together you exploited her feelings for three years while offering nothing then another punch harder
20:35alex hit the wall a trickle of blood sliding down his lip second who the hell do you think you
20:41are
20:41raising your voice at my wife he lifted his hand again ready for a third i caught his wrist he
20:47stopped
20:47instantly i stepped around him and faced alex the pathetic man i'd loved so desperately i lifted my
20:54hand and slapped him with everything i had i had held back that slap for three years alex you said
21:00your
21:00biggest regret was dragging out a relationship with a needed girl well let me tell you mine my biggest regret
21:06was wasting three years loving you but thankfully three years wasn't that long it was just enough
21:11time to realize you're absolutely worthless i reached for thorn's hand we turned and walked away
21:17behind me alex broke inside the quiet bridal suite i pulled out a first aid kit and carefully dabbed
21:23antiseptic on thorn's knuckles alex's earring must have nicked his skin when thorn hit him his hand was
21:28still bleeding i noticed him quietly studying my face i'm not mad that you hit him really that chapter is
21:34over thorn didn't push for details he just pulled me into his arms holding me tight my mind wandered
21:40back to the day we first met a month before the wedding i told him everything the three-year secret
21:44affair the three rejected proposals the lies the tears if this makes you uncomfortable we can cancel
21:50i'd even offered him an out i don't care about your past i just want you he'd only looked at
21:54me
21:54and said after we got engaged i took him to meet my grandma she was crying when she took his
21:58hands
21:58you two will be happy take care of my cake i'd been close to her since i was a little
22:02girl she
22:03bought me my first puppy her alzheimer's had stolen so much from her even as her memories faded she
22:08remembered me and my wedding even today he'd personally driven across the city to bring her
22:12to the chapel thorn suddenly murmured breaking the silence you know when alex crashed the chapel i
22:17thought you might run away with him right in front of your grandma i thought of alex bursting in wearing
22:21that ridiculous white suit it was so pathetic never i only want you i'm your wife thorn i smiled tracing
22:27his arm i laced my fingers through his trying to reassure him but kathleen there's something i need
22:33to confess a sudden wave of panic hit my chest what was he going to say thorn let out a
22:38soft
22:38laugh and rubbed my tense shoulders relax sweetheart don't be so anxious i just wanted to tell you i
22:43fell in love with you at first sight three years ago at a charity gala i stopped breathing he had
22:48been
22:48watching me i asked around afterward but i heard you were supposedly taken so i waited when my family
22:52started setting me up he made sure his name was first on the list he tucked a stray piece of
22:58hair
22:58behind my ear softly he said i knew you'd been hurt and you trust would take time but unlike him
23:03i'll
23:04only ever cherish you i'll wait for you no matter how long it takes our honeymoon lasted a month and
23:08it felt like stepping into a life i'd only ever read about he rented a private yacht down the coast
23:13lit up the night sky with custom fireworks held my hand as we walked along beaches until my feet
23:19ached the way he looked at me made my chest ache like i was the most breathtaking sight he'd ever
23:24laid eyes on we walked through crowded city streets holding hands we kissed in public without a hint of
23:30shame my wife he introduced me to every friend with the same quiet pride no secrets no hiding no
23:36suddenly dropping my hand when someone walked by this was what true love felt like but alex still
23:41wasn't ready to let me go and he was about to ruin everything i'd blocked alex's number before
23:46the wedding but he kept calling from unknown numbers the first call his voice was furious
23:50entitled kathleen you can't do this to me you betrayed me come home right now i hung up and
23:54blocked the number the second call his voice shifted sounding sickeningly gentle come back k i'll
24:00forgive you i didn't even speak block that number too the third call he was sobbing barely breathing
24:06i messed up isabella meant nothing please k just give me one more chance across the room thorn quietly
24:13set a glass of juice beside me he turned to leave wanting to give me privacy i reached for his
24:18hand
24:18before he could leave and held on his eyes met mine i gave a small shake of my head he
24:22nodded then
24:23sat beside me our fingers intertwined i looked up into his eyes but spoke into the phone my voice was
24:28calm and steady this was never only about isabella eventually it would have been someone else for three
24:33years you hid me you never chose me i don't love you anymore don't call me again my husband wouldn't
24:37appreciate that then i hung up dropping the phone on the table thorn immediately pulled me against his
24:42chest for the first time in my life i felt completely utterly safe after we returned from
24:48our honeymoon ethan asked me out for coffee okay i may have seriously screwed something up i put down
24:54my latte and gently squeezed his hand i'd never be mad at you ethan then he exhaled and told me
25:00everything back when he'd seen alex buying the ring and then he told me about the fight he'd assumed what
25:05everyone else assumed but it was for isabella i just wanted to gossip but i gave you the wrong
25:09info it spiraled from there you were right and i was wrong after the wedding alex had gone to him
25:15and explained the ring had always been for me maybe it was a misunderstanding but it doesn't matter
25:19anymore does it ethan nodded i knew the truth didn't matter to him all he cared about was that alex
25:24had broken his baby sister's heart and even if alex hadn't cheated he still wasted my three years
25:30i was done making excuses for him he didn't deserve my forgiveness there's more apparently
25:36isabella's first date instagram post was completely staged she was obsessed with alex when she found
25:41out he booked a private vacation she deliberately scheduled the retreat when alex rushed over for his
25:46work emergency she secretly snapped those misdating photos to post online a pathetic attempt to erase
25:53arrival alex fired her and i cut alex off we're done you lost your best friend any regrets families
26:00before friends always speaking of alex want to know what's been going on with him i said goodbye
26:06to ethan and headed home i walked over sat on the arm press of his chair and gave his chin
26:12a gentle
26:12tilt to pull his attention away from the screens pulling me securely onto his lap so i wouldn't fall
26:18i held up my phone pointing to a breaking news headline breaking etutech funds dry up founder alex
26:26vance files for bankruptcy i fake glared pinching his nose you play the perfect gentleman so well
26:32who knew my sweet husband was secretly bankrupting people in his spare time
26:37i'm a little bit drunk i know you're the one to blame tensed slightly his grip on my waist
26:42tightening i hope i didn't overstep he looked genuinely nervous i just wanted to make him pay
26:49that bastard wasted three years of your life overstep not even close only thorn could confess
26:55to ruining a man's life and still sound like an absolute gentleman he never made me feel like i was
27:00a burden he made me feel like i was the most important person in the world well i still have
27:06to punish you i sentence you to a lifetime of sleep deprivation as a dad thorn froze slowly an unfiltered
27:16wonder flooded his dark okay i'm going to be a father i nodded bearing my face in his neck from
27:23that day on thorn became impossible in the best way he furiously researched how to be the best dad ever
27:32he bought designer cribs and transformed half our house he even drove us to my grandmother's to share
27:38the good news i think he truly kept the promise he'd made to her and from then on we lived
