Chapter 7
On a rainy night, I walked for an hour before returning to the Lynch’s villa.
None of the Lynch family members were at home. They had all rushed to the hospital for Shirley.
The entire villa had been decorated particularly festive.
The servants were busy preparing for Shirley’s wedding in three days.
But my parents and brother were blaming me in the group chat.
“Brielle, didn’t I warn you before not to make Shirley sad anymore? Why are you so malicious?”
“Brielle, how could you do this to Shirley? I beg you, please stop hurting her.”
“Brielle, you will go to hell! If anything happens to Shirley, I won’t let you off easy!”
Endless accusations against me filled the screen.
I closed my eyes and left this group chat.
Returning to my own cluttered room, I wrapped myself up like a cocoon, attempting to gain a hint of warmth from the blanket.
The day after tomorrow morning, I would fulfill their wish and die.
In the future, I would no longer yearn for family and love.
The next morning, the villa was particularly hopping.
Without even looking, I knew Shirley had been discharged from the hospital.
There was no bathroom in my room, so I had to go out to wash up.
Passing by the living room, I saw a group of people holding a bachelor party.
Shirley and Camden sat in the middle.
“Camden, you lost. Truth or Dare?” Paul spoke up.
Camden said lightly, “Dare.”
“Then kiss Shirley for one minute.”
Hearing this, Shirley shyly glanced at Paul, her face blushing.
One of the rich young men suddenly spoke up, “Hold on for a second.
“It’s a bachelor party. Camden and Shirley won’t be single anymore after today. Can’t you guys be bolder?”
With that, he glanced at me, who was standing not far away.
Then, he continued, “How about letting Camden have the freedom to choose? Choose one from the ladies present and kiss her for one minute.”
After saying that, he pointed at me and asked, “Brielle, you loved Camden the most, right? Now that he’s getting marri soon, how about you and him having a final kiss for one minute?”
Seeing this situation, Camden stood up and walked towards me.
Just as he was two meters away from me, Shirley suddenly spoke up with a tearful look on her face, “Camden…”
Camden glanced back at her and then looked at me.
He whispered, “There are so many people here. I’m about to marry Shirley soon, and I can’t make her embarrassed.
“You’ll understand me, right?”
I nodded calmly and turned around to the bathroom.
Behind, Camden and Shirley were kissing, while the crowd was cheering.
I wanted to be loved, but I wasn’t stupid.
I was actually very glad that he didn’t choose me.

After washing up, I walked out of the bathroom and heard the conversations among those rich young people.
“So, you two are destined to be together! I still remember that when Shirley was threatened by a group of hooligans in high school, it was Camden who
beat them away.
“Also, at the seaside, when Shirley was swept away by the waves, it was also Camden who risked his life to rescue her.”
“Wow, how romantic! I’m getting a bit envious now. Please, can I have a man like Camden?”
Camden, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, “I belong only to Shirley.”
Camden’s sudden love confession made those rich young people cheer again, “Okay, alright. We all know you two are in deep love with each other.”
But I, standing at the corner, felt like laughing.
Because that wasn’t the story of Shirley’s, but mine.
Back then, when I was threatened by a group of hooligans, Camden took off his suit and beat them up.
When I was swept away by the waves in the sea, it was Camden who rescued me and brought me back to the shore.
That was also why I helplessly fell in love with him, even to the extent of trading my kidney for his life.
But now, the man who used to care for me and loved me dearly had already died in my
Now, the Camden in the living room was no longer my hero.
So, I decided not to love him anymore.
In the evening, Camden prepared grand fireworks for Shirley.
memories.
But he suddenly called me out and hugged me, saying, “Brielle, after Shirley and I finish our fake wedding tomorrow, we can be together again. I’m so looking forward to our beautiful future.”
I watched the splendid fireworks in the sky.
I was also looking forward to the reactions of Camden and the others when they heard the news of my death tomorrow.
In a while, Paul came. “Camden, come quickly. It’s time for a new round of games. We’ve been waiting for you.”
Camden let go of me and replied to Paul, “In a minute.”
Then, he held my cold hands and said to me earnestly, “Wait for me. After tomorrow’s wedding, everything will be over.”
I forced a smile and nodded.
After getting my response, he turned around and left.
I looked at his receding figure, and tears streamed down my face.
I said in my heart, “Yeah, everything will end tomorrow.”
