On the third day of the engagement, Nick Sullivan, my fiancé, and Emily Lane, his kept woman, registered their marriage. "She's young and insecure. I want to comfort her. That's all," he explained. I tightened my grip on the edge of my dress and went silent. After a pause, I finally nodded. The moment the door was shut, someone inside teased, "Sophie Bennett actually agreed. But Nick, aren't you afraid she'll get upset and leave you?" Nick snorted, "She won't leave me even if I try to drive her away." He and I had met when we were kids, and we'd been together for ten years. He was certain I couldn't bring myself to let him go. But he didn't know my transfer request had been approved. In three days, I'd be leaving the country.
