 EMERSON

In a bid to surprise Gary, I lied about having exams, opting to create his portrait instead. My plan for his birthday involved baking a cake and gifting lilies, his favorite flowers. As our date theme revolved around red roses, I decided to paint a portrait, knowing he held a penchant for such images.

With only an hour to prepare, I adorned myself in a white gown, loose curls framing my face, and a hint of makeup to conceal stress-free blemishes. Jules would hear about my struggles when the time was right—perhaps when Gary proposed.

Arriving slightly late, I knocked on Gary's door to an unusual silence.Upon entering, I discovered an unexpected scene, witnessing Gary entwined with another girl, oblivious to my presence. Shocked and shivering, I confronted Gary about his infidelity. Instead of remorse, he callously dismissed the situation, claiming it was mere physical attraction. My heart shattered as hurtful words were exchanged. He was drunk I start yelling at him but what he was about to do was unexpected he is going to punch me on my face but suddenly, Evan appeared, punching Gary and initiating a brawl.Confused and overwhelmed, I attempted to intervene, but the confrontation intensified. As Evan and Gary exchanged blows, my world crumbled around me. In the midst of chaos, my eyes met Evan's,realizing he was here for me, taking a stand against the betrayal.
