She was about to say that he was the one who cheated first, that he had no right to expect her to stay loyal, when she heard him again-his voice hoarse and raw:
“Today’s our two-year anniversary, Can we stop fighting, just for today?”
Lily froze, hard.
After cutting ties with him so thoroughly, she had actually forgotten what day it was-two years since they made it official.
This time last year, they had been head over heels for each other and had celebrated it together.
She had said she wanted to watch the sunset with him. Wanted fireworks
That evening, he sat with her and watched the sunset. That night, up on a hill, he set off fireworks just for her-long and beautiful.
He had surprised her with a huge bouquet of red roses. Hidden among the flowers was a carefully chosen gift for their anniversary.
She had thrown herself into his arms, laughing and clinging to him like a spoiled child.
She told him he could only give roses to her.
That for the rest of his life, he could only watch sunsets with her, and only light fireworks for her.
When you’re fully immersed in a love like that, it’s almost ridiculous-believing that, in their heart, you’re the one and only.
That night, under a sky full of stars and the glow of moonlight, he kissed her deeply and swore she was only one he’d ever love.
From that moment on, John would only pick roses for Lily, only set off fireworks for Lily, only watch sunsets with Lily the
He had promised her forever.
And she had truly believed she could have his undivided love.
But even with all the vows and sweet promises, it hadn’t stopped him from trying to please Elsa-hadn’t stopped him from preparing a sea of roses for her, from planning an entire night of romance for her.
It hadn’t stopped him from watching the sunset with Elsa, or from lighting fireworks for her all night long.
After Elsa returned to the country, Lily had spent night after night sleepless-until she finally gave up completely.
Until she finally understood that in his heart, she had never been the only
So he didn’t deserve her love.
She didn’t want him anymore.
“Let’s not fight anymore… y one.
John murmured again, for once showing weakness in front of her. “Lily, you’re always picking fights with me, always saying those hurtful things to stab at me. It really hurts.”
“Today’s supposed to be our special day. How do you want to celebrate?”
Like a big dog afraid of being abandoned, he clung to her tightly, burying his face deep into her neck. “It’s too late now-we missed the sunset.”
“Do you want to light fireworks? We can go up the hill and do it, okay?”
When she didn’t answer, he quickly added, “Or we can go to the amusement park? Didn’t you say you wanted to ride the roller coaster?”
“I’ll tell Wayne to book out the whole park right now. Whatever you want to do, I’ll do it with you tonight.”
The amusement park….
No matter how old you get, people always have a little bit of childhood left in them.
Once upon a time, Lily had thought it would be so romantic to go to an amusement park with him.
But not long ago, he had booked out a whole e amusement park to win Elsa’s heart.
He’d already done all the romantic things with Elsa in that amusement park. If he took Lily there wouldn’t feel joy-only disgust. the
Besides, she didn’t love him anymore. Even if she wanted to go to an amusement park and have fun and feel romance again, the person she’d want beside her… it wasn’t him.
“John, I’m not going to light fireworks with my ex, and I’m not going to an amusement park with my ex either.”
Fighting with him exhausted her.
She rubbed her temples and went on, her voice drained and numb. “We already broke up. That means there’s nothing left to celebrate.”
“If you really want fireworks or roller coasters, Elsa can go with you. Just stop bothering me!”
“We didn’t break up!”
John’s arms tightened around her like a caged animal, obsessed and unwilling to let go.
Suddenly remembering something, he pulled out a burgundy velvet jewelry box from his pocket and quickly slid a pink diamond ring onto her left ring finger.
His voice trembled with clumsy pleading and intense desperation,
“Lily, happy second anniversary.”
Then, all at once, he let her go and dropped to one knee, speaking with sincerity and solemnity.
“Marry me. Please?”
“No.
The moment she regained her freedom, Lily didn’t waste another word on him..
She yanked off the ring and threw it away. Without even putting on her shoes, she bolted for the bedroom door.
“Lily!”
John’s expression darkened completely.
He had proposed to her once before.
That time, she had cried so hard-tears streaming down her face like a little fool.
Today was such a meaningful day. He thought that if he humbled himself and proposed again, it might bring them back together.
He never expected that she would throw the ring he gave her into the trash.
And now she wanted to run…
Was she going to go find some random man again just to piss him off?
Because it was their anniversary, John had wanted to forget about all the shady things she’d done and just celebrate with her.
But now, seeing her act out again-seeing her try to provoke him with other men-the marks on her body. once again became poison-tipped thorns, stabbing straight into his heart.
Like a lone wolf pushed too far, he lunged forward and grabbed her, caging her tightly in his arms. In the next second, he spun around and slammed her down against the windowsill.
“Lily, who are you trying to run to this time? Simon? James?”
“John, you lunatic! Let me go!”
Pinned to the windowsill by a man who seemed half beast, Lily was on the verge of panic.
She had only just gotten free-she didn’t want to be dragged back into this nightmare!
“I want to go home! You’re nothing to me-you don’t get to treat me this way! You have no right to control me! Let go, let me leave!”
He was her boyfriend-how dare she act like he meant nothing?
As she fought with all her might, the marks on her body became even more visible.
John’s eyes locked on the bruises scattered across her chest, and his heart bled with fury.
When she raised her hand again-clearly about to slap him-he quickly caught her wrist and pinned both hands above her head. Then he ripped off his tie and wrapped it tightly around her wrists.
“Lunatic
Lily didn’t know how to curse well.
With her hands bound, her sense of safety vanished. Eyes rimmed red, she could only repeat herself with the same useless insult.
“John, untie me! I’m already married-you can’t do this…”
Lily hated him.
