Chapter 1
Isabella: [Jayden, if you’re not at the city hall by ten, we’re done.]
Isabella stared at her phone, her face pale. Two hours had passed since she sent the message, and she’d been waiting outside city hall for just as long. But the message went unanswered. It was now 9:50 AM. Only ten minutes left.
She had dressed up specially today. A white dress hugged her curves, showing off her perfect figure, and her delicate face was enhanced by flawless makeup. Passersby couldn’t help but glance at her, and she could even hear some men yelping in pain as their wives or girlfriends pinched them for staring.
Isabella’s face grew paler by the second. Then, with a bitter smile, she muttered, “Of course, he’s not coming.”
She had loved Jayden for ten years, willing to do anything for him. Isabella’s father had cheated on her mother when she was a child. Already frail, her mother couldn’t handle the betrayal and passed away shortly after. Her father remarried soon, bringing home a new wife and a daughter.
