“Lily, don’t cut up this wedding dress... This is the one you were supposed to wear when we got married. Please,

don’t destroy it...”

John’s voice trembled with pain, helplessness, and raw pleading.

His face was ashen, his chest felt as if a dull blade was sawing through it. The heartbreak was so sharp it turned

his body rigid, like a lifeless branch.

He stood frozen in place, unable to summon the strength to snatch the scissors from Lily’s hands.

All he could do was watch as the delicate, impossibly beautiful gown-the one carrying all of his hopes-was

slashed into ruin, reduced to a pile of mangled fabric.

“Don’t ruin this dress...”

His voice kept echoing like a broken record.

But unlike John, who felt as if his heart was being torn apart, Lily felt a deep, liberating thrill as she shredded the

dress and tossed the scraps to the floor.

She had sewn this wedding dress herself. She would decide what to do with it.

Just like her life-she would be the one in control.

Only when Lily threw the tattered pieces down did John seem to snap out of his

trance.

He stumbled forward, collapsing awkwardly to the floor. His fingers trembled as he scooped up a few scraps, his

eyes rimmed red.

Desperately, he tried to piece them back together.

But just like his relationship with Lily, no matter how hard he tried, it could never return to what it once was.

“John, just seeing you ruins my mood. Can you doa favor and get out? Stop disturbingand James while

we take our wedding photos.”

“You're really going to remarry James?”

John couldn't accept that Lily had fallen for another man.

Clutching the shredded pieces in his hands, his voice cracked. “He doesn’t even love you. The only reason he'll

marry you is because you're carrying his child. If he truly cared about you, he never would've forced you into

divorce in the first place! He-"

“Shut up!”

James cut him off sharply, unwilling to hear another word.

He tightened his grip on Lily’s hand, his tone cold as a blade, tinged with mockery. “I don’t love Lily, is that what

you think...? John, do you think you can read my mind? Get out! Don’t disgust my girlfriend again. | told you

before-your presence makes her sick, and that affects the baby.”

When John refused to move, James snapped at the guards who had rushed over after hearing the commotion.

“Throw him out.”

John resisted.

He didn’t want to leave. He didn’t want Lily taking wedding photos with James.

But Lily's eyes, filled with hatred as she looked at him, pierced straight through him, leaving him bleeding inside,

humiliated and broken.

In the end, his face pale, he turned stiffly and walked step by step out of the lounge.

The weather outside was beautiful-bright sun, soft breeze.

In theory, standing under such sunlight should have felt warm.

But as he walked farther and farther away from her, it felt like he was back on that snowy night more than four

years ago, when despair had driven him to the edge of

the river.

His heart was just as cold now as it had been then.

So cold that he almost lost the strength to keep living.

So even if it meant ruining everything, even if it meant dragging himself into hell, he would find a way to keep

her trapped by his side.

“Lily, are you really going to remarry James?”

Truthfully, watching Lily shred the gown and draw such a decisive line with John made Simon happy.

But the thought of her marrying his cousin left his chest hollow with pain.

“You treatedthe way you did before, and now you're going to torment my cousin too. You can’t-"

“Get out!”

James had no patience for Simon’s nonsense about Lily stealing his first kiss or pecking at him in the bathroom.

He cut him off with an irritated kick.

Simon felt completely wronged.

He was telling the truth.

To him, Lily was irresponsible and reckless, not good enough for his brilliant cousin.

“Didn’t you hear James tell you to leave? Can't you understand plain English, or are you too blind to see that

none of us want you here?”

Before he could finish, Lily’s voice rang out, sharp and dripping with contempt.
