She Was Never the Real Reason

One month before my wedding to my boyfriend, he announced he wanted to have a child with his "first love."

I refused, but he brought it up every single day.

Two weeks before the ceremony, I received a prenatal checkup report.

That’s when I discovered his so-called "first love" was already nearly a month pregnant.

It turned out he’d never intended to seek my consent at all.

In that moment, years of affection evaporated like smoke.

So, I canceled the wedding, destroyed every trace of our memories, and on what should have been our wedding day, I walked into a closed-off research lab.
