After the anesthesia from my surgery, I apparently confessed my undying love to the nurse. She just laughed, told me I had a thing with Dr. Chen, and I shouldn't get too carried away. Right before I totally blacked out, I think I blurted, "We broke up! I'm so over Ethan Chen." 1 Talk about awkward. The surgeon was Dr. Chen's mentor, and Ethan was there assisting. If the nurse hadn’t come to see me later, I wouldn’t have known what I'd said. Apparently, after "I'm so over Ethan Chen," I’d added, “I’m into gorgeous nurses like you now. Mwah, mwah!” And Dr. Lee, the surgeon,

A video of my boyfriend proposing to his secretary went viral, topping the trending charts. Everyone was calling it the most romantic and touching moment they’d ever seen.

The night before I was supposed to marry Jake Harrison, I overheard him talking to someone. “So, you’re really going through with marrying Sarah? You’re just letting go of Emily?” “She’s… agreeable. Good wife material.” “Yeah, but for you, it’s anyone but Emily, right? Doesn’t matter who you pick?” At the wedding, his eyes held a soft gaze as he prepared to slip the ring on my finger. Suddenly, I took a step back, letting the bouquet fall. “I’m sorry, Jake. I can’t marry you.” Later, I took my daughter back to our hometown of Harbor City. There I ran into Jake again. He stared at my daughter,

It was my third year engaged to Ethan Hayes. Then his high school sweetheart, the one who got away, came back to town. Everyone was buzzing, wondering if he'd pick the new girl or the old flame. He pretty much made his choice clear by throwing a big birthday bash for her, like, right under my nose. With him, I was always the second choice. So, I dumped his ass and booked a study abroad program. Then one night, Ethan, drunk off his face, came banging on my door, practically begging with his eyes all red. The guy who opened the door? Turns out it was notorious

At the reunion, he arrived, successful and with a stunning girlfriend. She said, “If you hadn’t let me go, you’d be Mrs. Fuller now.” He sat across from me, arm around his girlfriend, his expression indifferent. “That’s all in the past.” The others, eager for drama, egged them on. Under his gaze, I self-consciously covered the scar on my wrist and forced a smile. “Yeah, we… we’re long over.” 1 “I remember, it was Tara who broke up with him, right?” While his girlfriend was in the restroom, the whispers started. Tara is me. Finnigan Fuller sat opposite, a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were icy. This

In college, I "bought" myself a boyfriend. His deal was simple: stay with me, and I'd cover his family's medical bills. This proud, brilliant scholarship kid swallowed his pride and stayed with me for four years. Then my family went bankrupt. When I broke up with him, he was ice cold, not a word of protest. Years later, I was bussing tables in a karaoke bar, drowning in debt, and he was a tech millionaire, dating our class homecoming queen. He asked me, "Do you regret it?" "No," I said. "But I do," he replied. 1. I never thought I’d run into

After finding out I scored a 1480 on the SAT, my online gaming boyfriend dumped me. "With that score, and wanting to major in engineering? She's probably a total nerd," he scoffed to his roommate, forgetting to mute his mic. Then, one of our teammates shot him dead in the game. "Messing with my little sister from the engineering department? You're asking for it." At the orientation, I stared at the gorgeous 6'2" guy in front of me, speechless. Dude, with a face like that, calling someone else shallow? How ironic. 1 After the SAT scores came out, I gamed all night. My parents were busy bragging

Ashley's wedding day was the day the love of my life jumped from the eighteenth floor. His studio was filled with portraits of her. The brushstrokes were frantic, almost violent, yet charged with a desperate love. "Ethan loved Ashley for ten years," a friend told me. "She was his whole world." I woke up, saw Ethan, the shy new kid, cornered by the school bully, and quietly closed the door. Later, he knocked on my window in the pouring rain, his voice hoarse with despair. "Sarah, don't you want me anymore…?" 1 Ethan Bell, the astrophysics professor, recently discovered a new asteroid and became an internet

The year Mark was broke, I dumped him. Years later, successful and wealthy, he manipulated his way into marrying me. Everyone whispered that I was his "one that got away," his cherished wife. But the whispers turned to snickers as he paraded different women through our home every night, shattering my heart and making me the laughingstock of our social circle. I remained stoic, living quietly in the study, never disturbing his "conquests." Frustrated, he'd kiss me forcefully, demanding, "Aren't you jealous?" He didn't know I was dying. Every day, as he enacted his twisted revenge, I silently counted down
