Chapter 6 Emmas POVE I scoffed and quickly typed a reply : [ No need , Im staying at a hotel tonight .
It didnt take long for Jason to respond .
[ Emma , dont make a scene .
What hotel are you staying at so late ? Be a good girl and come back .
] I paused for a moment , but with all the resolve I had left , I typed : [ Jason , lets break up The wedding was just a month away .
Invitations had already gone out , the photos had already been taken , the banquet had been booked , and everything was set .
I was just waiting to become a bride Now , it all felt like a cruel joke Out of nowhere , a black Maybach pulled up in front of me .

The window slowly rolled down , revealing a familiar face .
!! It was Chase He quickly stepped out , his face etched with concern .
Emma , are you okay ? That jerk Jason , how could he hit you ? As he spoke , he removed his coat and draped it over my shoulders .
The faint scent of his cologne something unfamiliar but comforting brought a small amount of peace to my shattered heart.8 … Im planning to break off my engagement with Jason , I said , my voice a little shaky but firm .
Chase stopped in his tracks for a brief moment , a flicker of surprise passing over his face before it quickly settled into a calm , concemed expression .
He then asked , Emma , are you really sure ? This isnt something small Taking a deep breath , I answered with more conviction than I felt , Tm sure I dont want to be lied to anymore , and I cant keep wasting my time The next moming , I called the wedding planner and canceled everything everything .
I also informed all the guests .
Emily , the wedding planner , nearly cried when I told her over the phone .
She went on about penalties , losses , and how absurd it was that I was backing out at the last minute .
I cut her off , coldly giving her Jasons card number and telling her to deduct whatever was needed .
!! Once I hung up , the world around me felt quieter like the pressure had finally let up .
Next came the dreaded task of notifying the quests .
I created a group chat , added everyone , and typed : [ To my friends and family , I just wanted to let you know that Jason and I have called off the wedding .
Sorry if this causes any inconvenience .
Thanks for understanding I set the group to Do Not Disturb and watched the notifications light up my phone screen , but I didnt care.S I didnt even flinch I knew what people would think .
Most would assume rd lost my mind .
One month away from the wedding , and I was canceling it like it was nothing .
Yeah , madness seemed about night Sure enough , Jason called , exactly as I expected .
But instead of feeling even an ounce of guilt , it only fueled my anger .
I answered the phone with a bitter laugh .
What is it , Jason ? He sighed .
Emma , can we … talk ? I know youre really angry , but some things cant be explained over the phone .
Can we meet ? Same place , the hotpot restaurant we used to go to ? I hesitated , but deep down , I knew I needed closure .
I agreed .
) Later that evening , I put on delicate makeup , slipped into a bright red dress , and wore heels that clicked confidently as I walked I arrived at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant , and there he was Jason , already seated at the table .
At first , I thought it was just him , but then , to my shock , I saw Ava walking out of the bathroom , looking like she owned the place .
What are you doing here ? I asked , my voice laced with disbelief Ava was practically glued to Jasons arm , her voice sickeningly sweet .
Jason said he wanted to bring me here for his favorite hotpot You know this place , dont you , Emma ? ? I couldnt help but scoff .
Yeah , Im very familiar with it .
After all , Jason and I came here countless times .
Unlike some people who probably dont even know what the signature dish is .
% Avas smile faltered for a split second , but she quickly recovered , tightening her grip on Jasons arm as if to stake her claim .
