Then I broke down in front of her, my eyes were full of sad tears, while my shoulder shook into sadness.
I whispered with a broken voice, “Mom…”

The following day, I locked myself in my room, crying all day. My heart was so heavy that every time I closed my eyes, I relived the events of my wedding day. The memory of my mom's saddened face when she heard Adrian wasn't coming haunted me, and I couldn't help but believe it contributed to her sudden death.
I sat up on my bed while wiping away my tears, and then I opened my phone again to call Adrian. But the bastard has not been answering any of my single calls!
As I scrolled through my insta, my hand trembled in anger as I saw Mia Peters, Adrian's first love, post an intimate photo of them together on our fucking wedding day!
"SHIT!!!"
My heart sank heavily, and to my anger, I sent Adrian the photo of our wedding and texted him, "Why did you miss our wedding day?! Where on earth were you?! I was waiting for you!"
A few minutes later, I received his reply, and my face turned blue as I read it carefully, saying, "Mia needed me at that time. I'm sorry."
I threw the phone against the wall and screamed loudly, "Bullshit!"
Amara’s POV
I got up from bed with tears streaming down my face, then I picked up my phone with trembling hands. I texted him, "Why? Is Mia so important that you have to miss our wedding day?!"
He casually replied, "Look, I'm busy. I will have my secretary reschedule the wedding, OK? Stop texting me again."
His reply was like a slap in my face. My heart ached as the reality of his indifference settled in. I couldn't believe he would treat me like this!"
In despair, I replied to him with a text full of raw emotion, "We are over! I'm done with you. I don't want to see your face ever again!" I hit send, my sobs growing louder, and I blocked him, feeling a mixture of heartbreak and liberation.
For five long years, I tried my hardest to be the best girl for him. I did everything to get his attention and make him like me more but never worked. I changed how I dressed and how he thought a woman should be for him. Even though I changed everything about myself, he always dumped me when Mia needed him without a second thought. Every time he left, I felt a piece of myself fade away until almost nothing was left.
