“Wedding dress? Serena, can you stop being so selfish? All you ever care about are meaningless things. We’ll be family soon—why can’t you focus more on helping with my business? The partnership—”

Before he could finish his words, I cut him off, “I’ve heard enough.”

I stood up, and walked away without glancing back.

I had a wedding dress to retrieve.

Brandon didn’t deserve my love, nor did he deserve to see me wearing that dress.

This dress, handcrafted over seven years, was a symbol of my hopes and dreams for a happy future.

After bringing it home, I started packing my belongings.

Brandon was still angry at me and didn’t come home for an entire day and night.

Meanwhile, Karina smugly sent me a photo of the two of them together, flaunting how Brandon had been by her side the whole time.

Annoyed, I blocked her without hesitation. There was no point wasting energy on someone irrelevant to my future.

Remembering I still had a few belongings left at Brandon’s company, I drove over to pick them up.

Traffic delayed me, and by the time I returned, I noticed his car parked discreetly in a corner of the garage.
