Our Love Won't Last ForeverChapter1- 2
In the seventh year of our relationship, Brandon proposed to me with a diamond ring worth tens of millions.
I dressed up for the occasion, only to find that the video of our love story had been replaced by a compromising video of me by his secretary.
When I confronted him in tears, he blamed me for embarrassing him.
In front of everyone, Brandon slapped me hard. "This is all because you don't know how to behave. How dare you blame others when you're the one being indecent?! Filthy women like you have no right to complain!"
I fell into a champagne tower, the sharp glass fragments nearly blinding and disfiguring me.
Without sparing me a glance, Brandon left with his secretary in his arms.
At that moment, the love I had cherished for seven years died completely. Deeply hurt, I agreed to a marriage alliance with the Moore family.
However, as the wedding car drove past Brandon, he suddenly went crazy and started chasing after me.
What I once dreamed of—a proposal—turned into a nightmare. I dressed elegantly for the wedding, only to end up covered in blood and rushed to the hospital.
The wound near my eye couldn't be treated with anesthesia. As the doctor stitched me up with a furrowed brow, I felt no physical pain.
All I could hear was the conversation between Brandon and Karina as they left.
Karina, annoyed, said, "So what if I did it on purpose? Why did you buy her such an expensive ring?"
Brandon, showing a patience he never had for me, gently consoled her. "The ring I gave her was fake. The real one has been sent for re-setting; only you deserve such a beautiful diamond."
"At first, I was drawn to her looks and wanted to have some fun, but I've long grown tired of her. Don't worry, I would never marry such a filthy woman," he added.
Every word pierced my heart like countless needles. I was overwhelmed by despair.
As I wrestled with my emotions, Brandon suddenly called. "Serena, you were reckless yourself. How dare you wrong Karina for no reason? Get back here and apologize to her immediately! Otherwise, forget about us getting married."
That casual remark shattered me, and tears streamed down my face.
Seven years of love, and Brandon knew how much I yearned for marriage. Every argument ended with him using marriage as leverage to threaten me. But this time, I no longer wanted to marry him.
