The Ninety-Ninth Time He Left, I Never Came Back

Synopsis

At our ninety-ninth wedding, Lucas Rivers' childhood sweetheart, Alice Shaw, attempted suicide by jumping off a building for the ninety-ninth time. Without a second thought, Lucas threw the ring away and turned to leave. I grabbed his wrist, saying, "Can't you just wait until we exchange rings? It'll only take a minute. No, thirty seconds, I swear." Lucas pried my fingers off one by one, his eyes full of disappointment as he looked at me. Lucas said, "A life is at stake. How can you be so cold and heartless? Can't we have the wedding another time?" The moment Lucas walked away, the system notified me that I had failed my mission and would be eliminated. I thought about it for a second and then said, "Then let me die right in front of Lucas. Let him see what someone who actually wants to die looks like." A few days later, Lucas stared at my shattered body and completely broke down.
