No Need for an Engagement

“Please leave now, Raphaela Delfin.”

Kailos Pentenium, the man who was once my fiancé.

“I loved you. But not anymore.”

The blue eyes and beautiful face I loved and cherished so much are endlessly cold.

“Okay.”

And since he had always stood above me from the very beginning, I had no other choice.

“I’m so relieved that Raphaela broke off the engagement…… how fortunate for me that those things happened back then.”

Hayden Spencer, who came to find me at the hardest moment of my life.

“……If I dare say this to you. What would you say?”

The one who loved even the version of myself I had forgotten.

At his words, my heart began to pound wildly.

A man who is willing to stand beside me and face my enemy together.

A man I can never afford to disappoint.

Hayden Spencer, I need you.

The man who cruelly abandoned me later comes back and says he regrets it.

“Why are you like this only now?”

“…I love you.”

His low voice is trembling.

“It was a misunderstanding. All those terrible misunderstandings made us, me, you……,”

“…….”

“…like this.”

I look at him quietly, then simply let out a scoff.

“That’s not it, Kailos.”

I point at him.

“That’s just who you are.”

And then I point at myself.

“And this is me.”
