Love Story2–Chapter 1
It was the day Ryan Lewis reunited with his ex–girlfriend.
The same day he was supposed to be engaged to me.
His ex arrogantly smashed my engagement gift.
I stood there, bloodied, while he only cared about lifting her into the ambulance.
At the hospital, the doctor briefed him on my condition.
He held his ex in his arms, his voice distant, “It’s just a disfigurement. She doesn’t make a living off her looks anyway.”
I swallowed the ache in my chest and turned to walk away.
That was when I hastily married a man with power and influence.
Only then did Ryan begin to panic.
But by then, all he could do was watch as I called another man “husband.”
I watched as Ryan Lewis knelt before me, his expression serious as he held out the engagement ring.
Tears of emotion shimmered in his eyes.
Just as I was about to extend my hand, the door of the villa was suddenly flung open.
A young woman strode in, confidently crossing the threshold.
The once–lively room fell silent.
Everyone turned to look at the uninvited guest.
Her name was Green Nelson, a rising star in the entertainment industry.
She was also Ryan’s ex–girlfriend–someone he had broken up and reconciled with countless times over the years.
She was beautiful, with a figure to match.

Bathed in the crystal chandelier’s glow, she was exquisite from head to toe.
Isilently straightened my posture.
But the oversized gown I wore made me feel hollow, making her appear all the more flawless, while I, in contrast, felt like a fool.
“Ryan Lewis.”
Green glared at me, her voice dripping with disdain.
“Is this what you mean by sending me my engagement dress, only for her to wear it?”
My mind went blank.
She said this was her dress?
No wonder it felt so wrong on me.
I instinctively turned to Ryan.
He stood tall under the chandelier, his lips set in a hard line, his expression cold.
He didn’t even glance at Green.
It was as though he didn’t recognize her at all.
The room was quiet for a moment.
Finally, Green softened her tone, though her pride remained unshaken. She looked at Ryan and said,
“Forget it, I admit defeat. Let her take off the engagement dress.”
She spoke with the hardest words, but the softest tone.
Then, she stepped forward to remove the dress from me.
Ryan stretched out his hand and pulled me into his arms.
He shot her a mocking smile.
“Do you think marriage is just a game? You can’t just replace someone like that.”
Heaned into Ryan’s embrace.

My eyes burned with unshed tears, my heart aching.
Look clearly, she’s my fiancée now. We’re engaged.”
Ryan’s long fingers gently cupped my chin, and he lowered his head to plant a lingering kiss on my lips.
Green’s face shifted.
Tears streamed down her face immediately.
“Ryan Lewis, this is what you said, right? You said you’d never regret it and never come back to me!”
The shot me a hateful glare.
As she turned, she knocked over a table stacked with highball glasses.
The glasses crashed to the ground, shards flying toward me and her.
“Watch out!”
Ryan let go of me and rushed toward her.
“Ah-”
She screamed as her arm was sliced by the glass.
And I–my body, caught in Ryan’s sudden release, fell face first onto the shattered glass.
“Are you okay?”
Ryan’s voice wasn’t directed at me.
He didn’t even look at me.
Instead, he was asking Green.
Green cried louder, pounding her little fists against his arm as she scolded, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want me anymore? Didn’t you say you were getting engaged to her? Well, go be with her then!”

Stop it. You’re bleeding.”
Ryan firmly grasped her hands, his gaze softening as he looked at her. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have used our engagement to provoke you. Please, be good.”

He lifted her from the floor and quickly walked toward the door, never once sparing me a glance.
There were plenty of people in the room.
But none of them were my friends.

Others whispered amongst themselves.
“I told you, a dog like him never ends up well.”
