Scorned By Him, Cherished By His Brother

Synopsis

Alex Smith and I, May Shittu, had been in love for three years, and we began to talk about marriage. Annoyed, Alex looked at me and said, "Your mom asked for 30 thousand dollars to hold a wedding. I can't afford that. May, what about 20 thousand dollars?" I said no, so Alex got cranky. In the next three days, he was barely home. When I arrived at the bar to take him home, he had his first love, Grace Boleyn, in his arms. He pinched her cheek and chuckled. "In the past three years, she volunteered to serve my parents. To me, she is nothing but a servant, a free labor. She can't get a penny from me." "Why haven't you dumped her yet?" Grace asked. He raised his eyebrows as he toyed with a strand of her long hair. "With her around, my parents won't urge me to get married. Besides, she is something of a punching bag for you. Don't you just love this idea?" Tears uncontrollably rolled down my cheeks and dripped down onto my collar. They were as cold as ice. Right then, the phone in my pocket buzzed. [May, marry me.] It was a message from Alex's buddy, Danny Brown. Danny texted me at midnight, 999 days in a row. I shifted my gaze to Alex inside the bar. This time, I didn't ignore the message from Danny. I sent my reply, [Okay.]
