1.
Liam Caldwell had consumed my thoughts for six years. We reunited at Oxford’s grand 100-year alumni reunion.
By then, I was gaunt and ill, and he couldn’t recognize the ghost of the girl I once was.
He, too, had a beautiful woman by his side.
My classmates started teasing, dragging me over to toast him.
Liam instinctively recoiled, a sneer twisting his lips:
“God, what trash are they letting in now? Don’t want to catch whatever she’s got.”
He only knew I had abandoned him six years ago.
He didn’t know that on that very day, I went to prison for him.
Oxford’s 100-year alumni reunion. The organizers had spared no expense, inviting all the successful elites.
The event caused quite a stir, even trending on the city’s social media.
When I received the invitation, I was baffled. Weren't they only inviting accomplished individuals from all walks of life?
A loser like me, who had served time, hardly qualified…
But thinking of that secret wish in my heart, despite my hesitation, I put on a white shirt with dark green slacks, tidied myself up, and headed to the venue.
Stepping into the grand hall, it was filled with successful people, toasting and chatting.
Even the air hummed with the scent of money and power.
A cold dread settled in my stomach. I shouldn’t have come.
But then I remembered I’d finally see him, and all my unease transformed into a burning longing in my eyes.
I looked up and immediately spotted Liam Caldwell.
His tailored suit and glasses made him look more composed, his eyes devoid of the youthful awkwardness from years ago.
He exuded the aura of a successful elite in his conversations.
In that instant, my heart hammered against my ribs, a tiny, bitter ache blooming in my chest.
It took me a long moment to force myself to look away.
I stood there, wavering, filled with anxiety.
I wanted to approach him but didn’t dare, only stealing glances occasionally.
The next second, a classmate dragged me over directly:
“Look who it is! Isn’t this Aria Hayes, our high school’s ‘it’ girl? Where have you been all these years? Why did you just disappear?”
“We asked everyone, but no one knew which college you went to…”
“Don’t tell me you became a stay-at-home wife?”
