Chapter 9 In the early hours before dawn , Issac stood at his bedroom window , holding a worn engagement ring .
The ring hed proposed to Evelyn with .
They had been so close So close to marriage .
Now he stared at the diamond in silence , for what felt like hours : Finally , closing his eyes , he hurled the ring into the darkness .
Days later .
Returning from a hospital appointment , Evelyn saw a familiar car outside her building .
Issac leaned against it , waiting just like he used to wait outside her dorm in college .
Hiding her medication , she approached .
Were you looking for me ? Issac looked up , noticing how thin shed become , how pale her face was .
His throat tightened , but he said nothing about it .
Instead , he pulled out an envelope .
Evelyns blood ran cold when she saw what it was .
After a long silence , his voice came from above her .
Summer and I are getting married .
Im just letting you know .
Dont come , and dont congratulate me .

A dull pain spread through Evelyns chest .
Had his hatred grown so deep that he never wanted to see her again ? Her hands trembled as she took the invitation , lacking the courage to let him see her face .
She simply nodded .
I hope you find happiness .
The wedding was in a week .
Evelyn submitted her resignation , which was quickly approved .

Evelyn reviewed her assets .
Her years at Hernandez Industries had left her with substantial savings .
She sold her apartment and donated everything to childrens education charities , Two days before the wedding .
She visited the cemetery .
She purchased the plot beside Sophias .
Leave the headstone blank , she told the administrator .
No one would visit her grave anyway .
This way , the Hernandezs wouldnt know it was her if they saw it .
One day before the wedding .
Evelyn began her final preparations .
She had everything removed from her apartment except one large box .
Inside : their high school IDs , their first movie ticket stubs , photos together , the necklace hed given her , their letters to each other … She lit a fire .
Everything shed spent countless nights looking through , every memory , she burned .
She sat in the empty apartment until sunrise .
Today was Issacs wedding day .
As she stood shakily , she noticed blood on the floor .
Touching her face , she realized she was bleeding … But she didnt care .
She walked out , unsteady .

Trembling , bleeding , she walked past concerned strangers without stopping , until she reached the bridge .
Below , the dark river waters promised numbing cold .
Sitting on the edge , she called the hospital .
Hello .
Ill be dead today .
Please collect my body and proceed with organ donation immediately .
Staring at the water , blood on her face , she managed a small smile .
Finally , it would end .
Evelyn felt only relief .
Today , as he celebrated new love , she would sleep beneath the waves .
This was the best ending she could imagine .
Smiling , she closed her eyes and jumped .
Goodbye forever , Issac .
Thirty minutes later , at the wedding .
Issac stood at the altar in his tuxedo , watching Summer approach in white .
His mind wandered , filled with Evelyns voice .
What kind of wedding do you want , Eve ? Something simple a big lawn with colorful balloons , just our closest friends .
Sophia as my maid of honor .
A Hernandez wedding cant be simple .
Who says Im marrying you , Issac Hernandez ! Neither had imagined she truly wouldnt marry him .
Her face filled his vision as he mechanically performed the ceremony .
As they prepared to exchange rings , his assistant rushed over .

He took the phone .

This better be important .
One sentence from Lucas .
Issac went deathly pale .
The phone crashed to the floor .
The entire gathering watched in shock as the groom ran out like a madman .
Summer called after him from the altar .
But Issac heard nothing , his mind consumed by Lucass words : Shes dead , Issac .
