my mother?!”
I touched my reddened cheek; my lips
trembled.
“I didn’t…”
But Sarah refused to listen to my explanation.
She lost control, and stabbed the scissors
into my shoulder.
Blood stained her hand and my clothes.
She seemed surprised that I stood still, and
when she regained her composure, the
scissors fell to the ground.
Sarah stumbled back, and Mark quickly
supported her.
She wiped away her tears.
“Tom, please, stop loving me, just let me go.”
“I’ll show you how happy Mark and I are.”
She left with Mark’s support.

All my pain was overshadowed by Sarah’s
words.
Like the scissors, they stabbed me inch by
inch.
The happiness Sarah spoke of was spending millions to put Mark in the public eye.
She bought off reporters and media;
everywhere people talked about how happy
she and Mark were.
It was like she was showing off a treasured possession to the world.
She held a party at home, introducing Mark to
her business partners.
These were things I could never have
dreamed of.
Despite all this, I calmly calculated the time.
The deadline Sarah’s mother gave was today.

After today, Sarah and I would likely never
see each other again.
“Tom, you’re so shameless. You know this
party is for Mark, and you’re still here.”
Sarah’s voice brought me back to reality. She walked over with disdain, followed by Mark and her girlfriends.
Laughter erupted.
“Sarah, you should have gotten rid of this clingy guy.”
“What is he now, a mistress?”
“Back then, the Tom family was one of the top families in the circle, but they were unlucky, and only Tom was left. No wonder he’s trying to cling to Sarah’s wealth.”
These words stung Sarah, and she looked at me with disgust, as if I had disgraced her.
Sarah had my things thrown out

Sarah had my things thrown out.
In front of everyone, she announced loudly. “Three years ago, Tom shamelessly begged me to be with him. He broke me up with my first love, and now he wants to abort my child.”
“From today onwards, Sarah and Tom have nothing to do with each other, and the Miller and Tom families are severed!”
Her powerful voice stunned me.
I leaned against the wall, my hands trembling behind my back.
Compared to her current glory, I was truly unworthy of her.
Seeing my silence, Sarah took Mark’s hand
and her voice softened.
“I’ve decided to marry Mark, and we’re going

to have weddings in twenty–two different
countries…”
“I don’t agree!”
Before Sarah could finish, Sarah’s mother’s
voice suddenly rang out.
