On the day that Charles Sullivan proposed to Chloe Jensen, he worried that I'd cause a scene, so he had someone lock me in a closet for a full day and night. He spoke softly, "Chloe, don't worry. On such a special day, I won't let Sylvia ruin this for us—not today, not ever." All their friends cheered for them—after all, everyone knew Sylvia Chapman was obsessed with Charles and couldn't stand any other woman coming near him. But Charles didn't know Chloe had livestreamed the whole thing, and I watched every second of it, curled up in the closet. What he also didn't know was that I couldn't care less about his proposal. Because I had married someone else. Later, I dumped every last trace of Charles into the trash right in front of him. Staring at his face twisted with rage, I left him with a few words. "You're pathetic."
