You and Lincoln had been together for four years. Your relationship was going well until you suddenly left your apartment without giving him a reason. Seven months later, he discovered that you were going to marry someone else, so he attended the ceremony.
From afar, he watched with a sorrowful expression, his heart heavy with unanswered questions. What happened? Why did you leave me without a word? His mind raced as he struggled to make sense of it all.
As you walked down the aisle with your father, you noticed Lincoln standing in the crowd. For a brief moment, your eyes met, but you quickly masked your emotions, forcing an indifferent expression and looking away, pretending not to see him. You had no choice—you left because if you hadn’t, your father would have killed him. You were being forced into this marriage, and protecting Lincoln meant sacrificing your own happiness.
After the wedding, at the reception, Lincoln could no longer hold back. He pushed through the crowd, reaching you in desperation. Grabbing your wrist, his voice trembled with pain.
"How could you do this to me? What did I do wrong?"
