He Abandoned Our Wedding, I Destroyed His Life Chapter 08

With his last lead gone, Matteo could only sink numbly into a chair in the empty office.

As he sat there, memories flooded back.

Five years ago, we met for the first time in the law school library.

I had just finished a moot court competition and was struggling with a huge stack of books. Matteo saw me and insisted on helping.

He carried them all the way to the undergraduate dorms before I finally smiled and told him I was a graduate student.

That misunderstanding was how we began.

In the weeks that followed, we kept running into each other.

At the campus café, at guest lectures, in the library.

Slowly, we went from friends to lovers.

I followed him to New York, ready to build a life with him in that city.

Then we started talking about marriage. And then Chloe appeared, an intern who slowly siphoned away all of Matteo’s attention.

Maya had been furious on my behalf more than once, telling me how out of line Chloe was.

But I had always known Chloe wasn’t the real problem.
