Chapter 1 When you graduate , well get married .
I believed him .
So I pushed myself to the limit , taking extra courses and trying to graduate early , Until one night , I stayed up studying too late and missed the dorm curfew , I went to the bar to find him .
And by accident , I overheard his conversation with his friends .
James Anderson , is your girlfriend Laura Parker really that wild ? Of course .
Who else but me trained her ? What about Lily Young ? James exhaled a puff of smoke , his gaze soft and tender .
Shes different .
Shes pure .
At that moment , I began to hate him .
When I returned to campus , I called my professor Howard without hesitation .
That secret project you mentioned I want in .
From now on , my life belongs only to my country .
Professor , about the Spark Project you mentioned earlier I want in .
The professor paused , clearly surprised .
Are you sure? Once you join the Spark Project , you wont be able to contact the outside world for at least five years .
Didnt you refuse last time ? You said you were going to marry your boyfriend after graduation .
I stood before the mirror , running my fingers over the countless marks on my skin reminders of past intimacy .
My lips curled into a bitter smile .
Not anymore .
From now on , I dedicate myself to my country .

Yes .
We were engaged .
Lost in thought , my phone suddenly buzzed .
It was a message from James .
Why arent you replying ? Come out and keep me company .
The address he sent … was the same bar from earlier .
I didnt rush to respond .
Instead , I opened my laptop and double checked my application form .
Only after confirming everything was in order did I leave to meet him .
Why are you so late ? James lounged lazily on the sofa , displeased with my tardiness .
No taxis .
Had to wait a while .
I made up an excuse , intending to sit beside him .
But before I could , he grabbed my waist and smirked .
Get up .
Thats not your seat .
His words flipped a switch in the room , triggering laughter from the others .
Yeah , Laura , thats not your spot .
One of Jamess childhood friends spoke first , his tone full of amusement .
How could you sit on the sofa ? You should be sitting on Jamess lap .
The others chimed in , their voices dripping with teasing .
Exactly ! Look , all our girls are sitting in our laps .
I lifted my gaze , taking in the scene .
3.1 % Chapter 1 They were right .
Every man in the room had a woman in his arms women in revealing outfits , their bodies draped over them with practiced ease .
My heart plummeted .
I recognized those women .
They were well known socialites of the bar .
And I … was Jamess fiancée .
At least , in name .
My fingers brushed against the engagement ring on my hand .
I turned to look at James , waiting for him to say something .
But he didnt even glance at me .
Instead , he idly swirled his drink , as if oblivious to the mockery in the air .
Only when the room fell into complete silence did he finally stretch out a hand toward me , offering the most perfunctory reassurance .
Theyre just joking .
Dont take it to heart .
When I didnt respond , he sighed and finally put on a show of mild irritation , half heartedly scolding his friends before pulling me down beside him .
Alright , dont be mad .
Next time , Ill tell them to watch what they say .
The atmosphere quickly returned to its usual liveliness .
I leaned against James , mind already formulating how to break up with him .
Then , the bars doors swung open .
A woman in a white dress walked in .
Lily .
In an instant , every man in the room shoved the women off their laps , scrambling to straighten their clothes .
James included .
He pushed me aside and strode over to her , gently covering her eyes with his hand .
His voice was as soft Chill Wants The Innere17 6.2 % Chapter 1 as the night breeze .
Lily , be good .
Let us clean up first .
Then , he shot a glance at the others , his expression carrying an unspoken warning .
Well ? Hurry up and get these people out of here .
Dont dirty Lilys eyes .
At his words , the room erupted into action .
People rushed to open windows , ushering the women away .
Someone even thoughtfully switched on the white ceiling lights , brightening the entire private room yet failing to illuminate the darkness in my heart .
So this is how James acts when he truly cares about someone .
Suddenly , I had no desire to stay any longer .
I stood up and walked toward the exit .
The abrupt movement startled the others , and someone quickly reminded James .
James , your fiancée is still here .
James frowned , responding instinctively .
So what ? Its not like- Mid sentence , he seemed to catch himself .
He withdrew his hand from Lilys eyes , masking his reaction with a casual explanation .
Lily is innocent .
Shes not like you .
I laughed softly , though bitterness curled at the edges of my smile .
He had forgotten Lily was actually a year older than me .
But because I didnt matter to him , my feelings were irrelevant .
I stepped past them , ready to leave .
Yet Lily suddenly blocked my path , her voice delicate and hesitant .
Laura , dont be upset .
I came to return something .
