“Yvaine! What did you post? Delete it now!” he began. “Where the hell are you? Come back and apologize to Gwyneth!”
I just forced my phone off.
It’s almost funny. He never replied to my texts before.
I used to think he was just too busy.
Turns out, he saw everything–he just didn’t care enough to respond.
My mom, who I hadn’t seen in years, came to pick me up.
She was wearing a red dress, looking stunning as always, but I could tell time had caught up to her.
Chapter 5
She hugged me tight and said, “Oh, sweetie, you’ve been through a lot.”
Even though I’d run away years ago, I still kept in touch with her.
She knew all about my drama with Gerard and had been warning me for ages it wouldn’t end well.
I didn’t listen back then, but I do now.
On the way home, Mom updated me on the changes around the house.
I already knew most of it, but I still listened closely.
As soon as I turned my phone back on, it went crazy with notifications.
I didn’t answer any of them. Just put it on silent.

“Spam calls,” I said to Mom when she
raised an eyebrow.
She seemed to get it but didn’t say anything.
With the wedding coming up, things were hectic.
I followed Mom to try on wedding dresses.
When I saw myself in the mirror, I barely recognized the person staring back.
Mom wiped her eyes and said, “Don’t worry, sweetie. Glenn’s a good guy.”
I nodded. Honestly, I didn’t care much. I mean, I’d dealt with worse.
What I didn’t expect was for Glenn to show
- up.
Seeing him in real life after only seeing his photos felt a little surreal.

He looked at me and smiled. “You look beautiful.”
The coldness in his demeanor melted a bit
with that smile.
“Thanks.” I lowered my head and tugged at my dress, a little embarrassed.
Luckily, Mom quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
“Well, since Glenn‘ s here, why not take a photo together as a keepsake?”
Glenn glanced at me for approval, and I nodded.
Mom, clearly thrilled, snapped a picture of
- us.
She loved blogging on Instagram, and she couldn’t wait to post the photos with a
Chapter 5
caption. [My very beautiful daughter!]
I didn’t expect her little post to blow up.
Before I knew it, hashtags were trending.

Mom was so excited, sending me screenshots of the well–wishes in the comments.
[Let the asshole see this! He never deserved you!]
Honestly, I didn’t care anymore.
He never loved me anyway. How could he hurt me?
But I didn’t expect that he would actually send
me a message.
I had already blocked him on my main
Chapter 5
account, but he found my alternate account.
He sent me the picture of Glenn and me
together.
Then, he called.
