€ 05 Dont dwell on what happened yesterday .
Ive already apologized to Scarlett on your behalf .
Okay .
Scarlett said weddings are just a show , nothing to stress about .
Our bond is so strong that we dont need these formalities to prove anything .
Lets keep it simple .
Ill follow your lead .
Hazel had already made her decision .
This wedding would go down as the simplest one in history .
No wedding photos .
No marriage certificate .
No officiant .
And no bride .
After hanging up , Hazel stood up , her hand steady as she grabbed a marker and slashed Wedding Photoshoot off her calendar .
Ambroses work always consumed him, and Hazel had always been careful not to disturb him , especially when he was busy .
While shed been planning the wedding , shed bought a special wish calendar , pouring her dreams into it .
Each event was a marker of hopes she longed to fulfill , one last grand gesture for a once in a lifetime occasion .
Now , those dreams were swallowed by thick , regret laden strokes of ink , leaving nothing but a void of unspoken Sorrow With a deep sigh , Hazel glanced around the room , the glaring red of wedding decorations mocking her every move .
It had taken her the entire day to strip the room of its once carefully arranged decor .
By evening , however , Ambroses name was everywhere .
* To win a smile from his beloved , the CEO spends 8 million on a vintage pearl brooch .
The photo was grainy , but the woman beside Ambrose was assumed to be Hazel .
A bitter laugh escaped her lips .
So , this was where all the money that was supposed to be for their wedding had ended up .
But it didnt matter anymore .
Hazel had long since shut the door on any sadness tied to Ambrose Over the next few days , he didnt come home .
Hazel didnt ask where he was or make any arrangements for him as she once would have .
Instead , she handed in her resignation said 12:23 PM c Running Away from Mariage , Leiving Deception Behind quietly began telling her friends of her plans to leave the country .
Her friends exchanged knowing glances , their sighs blending in perfect unison .
We had a feeling this was coming , one of them murmured softly .
Without a word , one of them opened Ambroses social media feed and handed the phone to Hazel .
To the outside world , it might look like these pictures are of you , she said gently , but we all know its Scarlett .
Only then did the truth sink in .
Ambrose had been with Scarlett this whole time .
Though he rarely updated his social media , his posts had been flooding in , each one more frequent than the last , each one dedicated to her They visited amusement parks , tried on wedding dresses at bridal shops , and shared quiet moments under the moonlight atop a mountaintop .
Ambroses love for Scarlett was as clear as day , laid out for the world to see .

The only thing hed done to hide it was block Hazel from seeing it all .
Her friends exchanged concerned glances , the silence stretching on too long .
Hazel , are you alright ? one of them finally asked , her voice laced with worry .
Theres no need to waste your tears on someone like him , another chimed in .
Ambrose doesnt deserve your love .
Once he sees the truth about Scarlett , hell regret this for the rest of his life .
Hazel offered a faint smile , her eyes drifting to the lively streets outside the window Its fine .
I dont care anymore .
Her voice was quieter , almost resigned .
But I do need a favor … In just a few days , she would leave this place , cutting ties with the past .
She no longer had the luxury of drowning in heartbreak over Ambrose .
When Ambrose finally returned after days of silence , Hazel couldnt muster a reaction .
She remained distant , her indifference cutting through the tension .
Ambrose , for his part , was lost in his world .
Even when he finally stepped inside , his eyes never left his phone , his fingers moving rapidly across the screen , oblivious to everything around him .
