The day before my wedding, my fiancé tragically passed away. Before he died, he entrusted me to his one true friend, Bentley Daniel. Bentley walked with me through my darkest days, and this support lasted for six years. But one drunken night, everything changed. We crossed a line. When I finally gathered the courage to talk Bentley about what had happened, I walked into his office and saw him in a passionate embrace with his female secretary. On her finger was the ruby ring I had long dreamed of, a ring Bentley had fought for at an auction just two weeks earlier, for me. In a panic, I turned to flee, but Bentley caught me. With a cold expression, he said, "Angela, be more mindful. Don't just wander into my office again." My heart froze, piece by piece, as I turned and walked out, numb and stiff.
