Everyone in London knew Mr. Renaldi for his pride and confidence.}
The security guard told me that Benjamin today looked nothing like he used to. It was like he was one step away from breaking down. Even though I had prepared myself, I was still shocked by how miserable he looked.
His eyes were red and tired, his face was pale and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. I didn’t want to look at him. I turned and held Charles‘ arm, ready to walk into the hotel with him.
But as I stepped onto the stairs, Benjamin grabbed my wrist tightly.”
His voice sounded low and desperate in my ear.
“Amelia … don’t do this.”
“I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. Please don’t punish me like this. I beg you, I really can’t lose you … ”
I looked at him coldly and pulled my hand away.
“Benjamin, I gave you a chance. You didn’t care. You can’t blame me for what’s happening now.”}
“If you came for the wedding, you’re welcome. But if you came to make trouble, I won’t entertain you.”
After speaking, I turned to leave again, but Benjamin ran in front of me and blocked the way. His eyes looked wild and full of obsession.} “You can’t marry him. I don’t agree!“>
Before I could respond, Charles let out a laugh.
“Mr. Renaldi, today is my wedding with Amelia. Don’t you think it’s rude to say that?”
“Do you still think Amelia is your fiancée? Do I need to remind you? You already have Michelle and two children.”
Benjamin’s face turned dark. He glared at Charles with anger.
“Shut up! You have no right to speak here!”
“Even if Amelia and I had problems, it’s none of your business. Do you think you’ve won? You’re just a tool Amelia used to make me jealous. Do you really think she married you because she loves you?”
“As long as I say one word, Amelia and I can fix everything. We can go back to how things were. You’ve always been nothing but a joke. In the past and in the future-”
Before he could finish, I slapped him across the face. Then, I wiped my hand with disgust.
“Benjamin, this is the last time I will say thi
We are over.“) “Charles is my groom today. You are not part of my life
anymore.”
“Either leave on your own, or I’ll call the bodyguards to remove you. As the president of a public company, I don’t think you want to make a scene, do you?”
Benjamin stood still, as if he couldn’t believe I would hit him in front of Charles. The handsome face I once loved was now just filled with sadness. Still, he said nothing. Rather, he just stood there and watched as Charles and I walked into the hotel.
“Why didn’t you let me finish talking just now?”
“Amelia, do you still care about him?
I heard the sadness in Charles‘ voice. I laughed softly and held his arm again.
“Talking doesn’t mean I care. Truly letting go means I don’t react anymore.”
“Today is our wedding. Do you really want me to talk to him in front of everyone?“N
Charles‘ ears turned red and he shook his head slowly.
“The wedding will begin soon. Go get some rest. I’ll come to you shortly.”
As the elevator door closed, my thoughts wandered. After eight years of being with someone, it would be a lie to say I felt nothing at all. But this time, even seeing him so broken, I didn’t feel the pain I once did.
Indeed, it took time to move on. But I knew I could do it. People like Benjamin weren’t worth holding on to. I had already deleted every
way to contact him.
