On the day of our tenth wedding anniversary, my wife, Cara Dempsey, jumped from ten thousand feet in the air after hearing that her first love's plane had crashed. It was only then that I finally understood the only man she ever truly loved all these years was Luthen Waltz.When we were both sent back in time to relive our teenage years, she wasted no time making a grand, public confession to Luthen, completely cutting ties with me. I just stood there, watching the two of them kiss like they couldn’t bear to be apart, and in that moment, my heart felt nothing. From that day on, we were over, and we lived our separate lives.
Ten years later, we crossed paths again at a five-star hotel in Harbor City. She, who had become a celebrity adored by the world, was wearing a gown, laughing in Luthen’s arms.
When she saw me wandering through the hotel, searching for someone, she thought I had come looking for her.
“George, stop wasting your time! Even in ten years, I will never choose you!”
I didn’t respond. Instead, I looked toward the little girl running toward me, calling me Dad, and gave her the warmest smile.
Cara’s expression froze. Tears welled in her eyes as she choked out, “You lied to me, didn’t you? You said you hated kids and that you’d only ever love me.”
Chapter 1
I saw Cara Dempsey again at an auction gala, ten years after everything ended.
Luthen Waltz had his arm wrapped intimately around her waist. She had just won Best Actress, and that night, all eyes were on her. Dressed in a custom designer gown and with her makeup flawless, she carried herself with a huge presence—a far cry from the innocent girl she used to be.
Back then, after we broke up, she made me delete every trace of our relationship, including all photos and messages. I did exactly as she asked. If she weren’t constantly showing up on screen over the past years, I probably would’ve forgotten what she even looked like.
“Miss Dempsey, you’re even more breathtaking in person than on screen! Would my company have the honor of having you as our brand ambassador?”
“That’s right! Your skin is flawless. It must be the glow of love. You and Mr. Waltz are the perfect couple, truly a match made in heaven!”
Then, someone in the crowd teased, “We heard from the media that your wedding’s coming up! Is it true?”
Cara gave a soft smile without answering. However, with that crowd, silence was as good as confirmation. The first to catch on quickly offered congratulations, and soon, everyone else joined in.
Cara looked at Luthen affectionately before responding with practiced elegance and poise. The way they looked at each other made people around them sigh in admiration.
That was when someone asked a question, half in jest and half in curiosity, “Ten years of dating, and you’re only planning the wedding now?”
I wondered the same thing. In our past life, Cara jumped out of a crashing plane just to die with Luthen, and the very first thing she did after we were both sent back in time was break up with me. I naturally assumed they were already married by now, but apparently, they were still only dating.
