“I hate women like you who are so competitive. Bonnie even worried you’d get upset if you found out. Honestly, people like you are exhausting.”
At that moment, I suddenly saw Stephen for who he really was.
Gone was the aloof and superior facade from our college days. This was the real him.
He was greedy, selfish, and good at making excuses.
All those sweet nothings he said when he pursued me were just his way of covering up his true self.

“I’m going to take Bonnie to see a doctor. I told you already. Don’t call me later and go hysterical.”
I asked him to put my car keys back, and he slammed the door, telling me not to pull this stunt, that he wouldn’t fall for it.

When I checked the car’s surveillance, Stephen and Bonnie were making love, and it seemed like Stephen’s lifelong wish had
come true.
He was overjoyed.

He even fed Bonnie the seafood soup spoonful by spoonful.
Then Bonnie had a sudden idea.
“Let’s go watch the sunrise! We never got to fulfill that wish from college. Let’s do it today!”
Stephen hesitated.
“I’m getting married tomorrow. Watching the sunrise isn’t appropriate.”
Bonnie’s tears and the physical symptoms of her severe depression suddenly intensified.

“I’m giving you everything before your wedding. I thought you understood what I meant, but it seems I was overthinking.”
When he saw Bonnie trembling as she spoke, Stephen’s heart ached.
He turned and sent me a message saying the wedding procession would be late in the morning, and then he turned off his phone.
Looking at that message, I felt like the six years of obsession
gone, and all I felt was ridiculousness.
