---- I snapped, "Are you blind, Matthew? She's clearly faking it, and you don't see it. Tomorrow was supposed to be the day we got our marriage certificate at the City Hall. But you know what? Go with her instead." I spun around and stormed off. He caught up and grabbed my arm. "Sophie, don't be so emotional. Emma's young and impulsive. Why let it get to you? I'll have her move out immediately. I'll have the place back the way it was by tonight." "No need," I snapped, yanking my arm away. "She's already contaminated the space. I don't want it anymore. I'm listing the apartment for sale first thing tomorrow." "Fine, fine. We'll sell it. We'll buy another one. Whatever you want." Emma suddenly shrieked from behind us, "Why are you letting her get away with this, Matthew? She hit me first!" He barked, "That's enough, Emma! I should never ---- have let you move in." She burst into tears and ran out the door. Matthew glanced toward the door, panicked. "It's late. She shouldn't be out there alone. Sophie... I'll meet you at the City Hall tomorrow at 9:00 am. I promise." My eyes burned with unshed tears. Logic told me I should end things with him right away, but emotion kept me hesitating. The next morning, I arrived at City Hall by 8:30 am. By 10:00 am, Matthew still hadn't shown up. Icalled him more than 20 times before he finally picked up. "Emma spiked a fever this morning. I had to take her to the ER. Getting married isn't something we have to rush, Let's just pick another day." Before I could respond, he hung up. Another day? I was stunned he had the nerve. It was downright ridiculous. ---- I opened our chat and typed just two words. "We're done." Then I blocked him on everything. But since I was already there, I wasn't leaving empty- handed. I dialed David's number. "Wanna marry me? If you do, get to City Hall right now. I'm not kidding." Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
