42 He sat alone on the balcony , the cigarette flickering between his fingers , casting weak light in the dim night .
A layer of ash had gathered on the ground , but the girl who used to smile , steal his cigarette , and offer him candy had never returned .
To this day , Ambrose still couldnt accept the reality that Hazel had run from the wedding .
The torn wedding dress lay discarded at the door , as if the years of their relationship had been reduced to nothing but trash , just like the dress .
His mothers call came again .
Irritated , he almost hung up .
But for some reason , his hand shook violently betraying him .

Where did Hazel go ? Do you know ? Shes completely ruined the Wright familys reputation ! Ive always said we shouldnt marry a woman like that .
Her own mother doesnt want her .
What could she possibly be worth ? Shes been twisted at the core since she was a child , a monster ! Shes not ! Ambrose snapped , unable to bear another word .
For the first time , as the eldest son , he defied an elder .
And not just that , he had brought disgrace upon the entire family.

Everyone urged him to find Hazel , to make her take all the blame .
But Ambrose couldnt do it .
He had known Hazel since he was seven , and no one understood her quite like he did .
D Ambrose , what on earth are you thinking ? Your father and I are frantic ; paparazzi and reporters are everywhere .
Do you really want to sacrifice the whole family for a woman like that ? For people like us , affairs are nothing out of the ordinary .
She knew what the Wright familys wealth and power meant , so she shouldve been patient .
How could she let her emotions destroy everything like this ? These words had been drilled into him , over and over , a thousand times that day .
Rubbing his temples , Ambrose sighed , his voice weary Mom , dont worry .
Just give me a little more time , Ill handle it .
How to handle it ? Ambrose didnt have the slightest clue This situation had spiraled out of control , and everyone in the family despised Hazel with all their might .
But no matter how they slandered her , he just couldnt bring himself to listen .
He knew why Hazel had stayed with him , and he understood why she had walked away She loved him .
Loved him more than he could comprehend , and yet hated him with a passion he couldnt escape .
Finishing th the last of his cigarette , Ambrose slowly rose to his feet .
He moved toward the living room , his mind swirling , and reached for a glass of water .
But his foot caught on the edge of the sofa , sending him stumbling into the cabinet , A sharp pain shot through him .
Clutching his forehead with one hand , Ambrose fumbled to switch on the light .
The room , just like earlier , was in disarray .
Broken items lay scattered across the floor , and his ankle stung from several fresh cuts .
Frustration clawed at him as he searched for the medicine cabinet , his hands shaking with agitation .
He dug through the drawers for what felt like an eternity but couldnt find it .
Before all of this , Hazel had always been the one to take care of everything No matter how late the hour , shed leave a soft light on just for him .
