I Proposed to my Boyfriend and Got RejectedChapter 1

After seven years of dating, I finally pulled out the ring I’d spent so long saving for, ready to propose to Carl. But then he called.

“I sent you the address. Come over, and don’t forget the necklace on the table.”

With my heart racing, I grabbed the sparkling necklace, excitement and nerves swirling inside me. But when I arrived, the sight before me shattered everything—Carl was holding another woman in his arms.

He frowned, his expression cold as he yanked the necklace from my neck.

“This is Remi’s gift. Why are you wearing it?”

——

His words cut deeper than the necklace clasp, which tore a thin, painful line into my skin as he pulled it away. I winced at the sting. Without the necklace, my wide neckline felt exposed. I instinctively covered my chest with one hand, trying to shield myself from the prying eyes of the men standing nearby.

Then I looked up at the woman beside him. Her elegance, her beauty—she was everything I wasn’t. They stood together like a perfect match, leaving me feeling small, unworthy, and utterly broken.

When I arrived, a murmur rippled through the crowd, and whispers filled the room.
