We'd been together for five years, but Andrew Cooper—this guy who was a year ahead of her in college—was like a shadow she couldn't shake. He never left her alone. Anna Summers was so fed up with him constantly hovering that, just to put some distance between them once and for all, she said yes to my proposal. But a month before the wedding, Andrew showed up with a brain tumor diagnosis, telling her he had less than two years left. After that, Anna was like a whole new person. Everything started to revolve around Andrew. She was all over him, fussing over every little thing. I tried to keep my anger in check as I confronted her, but she acted like it was totally normal. "Andrew has always loved me. Now that he's dying, I just want to help him fulfill his last wish. Why are you so heartless?" she said. I thought that after the wedding, she'd finally come back to me. But then, one day, she told me she wanted to use IVF to give Andrew a child, so he'd have someone to carry on his legacy. I called off the wedding and boarded a flight to a research institute overseas.
