He Thought He Could Let Her Go, Until She LeftChapter 1

"Ms. Chancellor, are you sure you want to cancel the wedding? This venue took a year to secure. If you back out now, it’ll be at least another two years before you can book it again. Shouldn’t you speak with Mr. Davidson first?"

Athena Chancellor’s pale face betrayed her exhaustion, but her eyes were resolute. She gave a firm nod.

"There’s nothing to discuss. Cancel it."

The sharp pain in her lower abdomen surged as the anesthesia wore off, gripping her body with unrelenting intensity. Each word she spoke felt like a battle, her strength barely holding.

Yet, the moment she regained consciousness, her first action was clear. She reached for her phone and canceled the wedding, her decision unwavering despite the storm raging through her body.

After all, if she hadn’t canceled, the thought of two weddings with the same groom would have been nothing short of a farce.

The receptionist on the line hesitated but quickly processed Athena's request, adhering to the golden rule of customer first.

Within a minute, a text message confirming the cancellation appeared on her phone.
