I watched as he suddenly dashed off, leaving behind a terse message
“Something came up at work. I’ll pick you up as soon as I’m done.”
But he never showed up, leaving me alone in the eerie darkness of the cemetery.
The rain poured harder as I huddled in front of my parents graves, eventually falling asleep.
As dawn broke, Celeste sent a few photos.
One was a trending topic about Celeste’s safety harness breaking and her falling from a great height! Another showed her with minor bruises, being held tightly by Nolan, who was sobbing uncontrollably.
Then Celeste sent a video, In it, she revealed bruises on her body, while a man slept soundly with his arm around her waist.
On the floor were several used pills and scattered clothes.
“You’ve lost. His heart belongs to me now.”
I calmly accessed the system, applying to leave this world behind.
The system sighed.
“Host, everything is prepared. The information records and USB drive will be delivered at the seventh wedding anniversary banquet.”
“You’ve worked hard over the years. Once you depart from this world, you’ll assume a brand–new identity, fulfilling all your wishes. A loving family, parents from this world, close friends, and a partner who will never betray you, courtesy of the system.”
“From this moment on, you will no longer exist in this world.”
Inodded.
Nolan, I said if you ever betrayed me, I would vanish forever.
Til ensure you understand the price of your deceit and betrayal over the years.
I felt my soul leave my body, ready to embrace a new beginning.
Nolan,
From now on, you’ll never see me again.
The two of them lay entwined until the morning of the wedding anniversary.
Nolan checked the time, feeling regretful, and quickly got off the woman.
Celeste rubbed her eyes,
“Darling, where are you going?”
Nolan thought about leaving me alone in the cemetery all day and felt a wave of panic he couldn’t explain.
He leaned down to kiss her face, gently assuring.
“Be good, today is my and Sophie’s seventh wedding anniversary. I can’t be with you today, but I’ll make it up to you tomorrow”
After speaking, he contacted the driver and left.
In the car, he didn’t dare to unlock his phone, continuously making excuses for himself.
The strong scent of perfume and an indescribable smell on his body made him feel guilty.
When he returned to the villa, he felt a chill seeing how empty it was.
In disbelief, he looked around and realized all my belongings were gone, Just as he grew anxious, his good friends called him one after another, and he answered irritably.
An anxious voice came from the other side,
“Brother, it’s so late, it’s your seventh anniversary today. Even if you’re pampering some starlet, you shouldn’t just now be getting off her, right?”
Nolan hit his head in frustration,
“I lost control. Where’s Sophie?”
The man thought he heard a joke,
“Your wife, you’re asking me? Don’t say it, the banquet is about to start, all the elders and media are here, you better come quickly.”
Nolan paused, then a smile formed on his face.
Yes, today was his seventh wedding anniversary with Sophie, she must be in a wedding dress waiting for him to show up.
He reassured himself and hurriedly changed into formal attire, heading to the hotel.
Wearing a well–fitted suit and holding a bouquet, he arrived at the venue. A reporter shouted, and the crowd quickly surrounded him.
Nolan was sweating, took a deep breath, and walked into the banquet hall.
The doors opened, and there stood a woman in a white wedding dress with her back to him.
“Sophie” He couldn’t help but murmur.
He didn’t notice others at the banquet hesitating to speak, fixated on that figure.
The woman seemed to sense his presence and turned to face him.
Nolan’s initial excitement turned to dismay when he saw her face.
“Why is it your”
Celeste handed him the bouquet,
“Brother Nolan.”
The reporters were stunned when they saw the girl’s face.
“Tort this the actress Celeste? Could she be the rumored Mrs. Nolan?”
“Are they secretly married? I remember Mrs. Nolan isn’t her”
“Wow, what a scoop”
Nolan’s friends noticed something was wrong and quickly tried to smooth things over,
“Media friends, Celeste is our friend, she’s here to wish Mr. Holan a happy marriage”
“Yes, yes, everyone please wait, the real hostess of this banquet will appear soon.”
