" Seventh Farewell . " March 24 , 2024 . I held up my phone , recording a selfie video , " Hey guys , it's March 24 , 2024. Today , we ran into an old friend ... " But it wasn't really a coincidence . I'd been waiting here for three days , just for a chance to see Josh . " How's he been lately ... ? I just wanted to see him ... " The moment I made my request , Joshua Conroy shot me down . " Just one quick look , please , I'm begging you . " Eve , this is way out of line . You broke up with him in the worst way , and now he's finally starting to get his life together . Don't ... " I nodded quickly , promising , " I know , Josh . I just want to see him one last time , quietly , I swear . " When I said , " One last time , " Joshua looked at me strangely . I laughed it off , trying to play it cool . He let me inside and hid me behind the living room curtains . Raymond hadn't come home yet , so I whispered into the camera . " So , we're at Raymond's place . We used to rent this house back when we were dating . Once he made it big , he bought the whole thing . " Back then , Raymond loved sleeping in . To get him out of bed and coding , Josh secretly made himself a key and came over every morning to drag Raymond up and get him working -no joke . " Josh says he's been staying here lately , so he should be back soon . 11 0.00 % 21:14 Chapter 8 288 Vouchers I angled my phone toward the front door as I spoke . Joshua had work to do , so he disappeared into the study . After a while , the front door opened . Raymond stepped into view . As he walked in , I noticed something massive in the foyer , covered with a red cloth . He reached out and yanked the cloth away . I clapped a hand over my mouth , swallowing my loud gasp . It was a mannequin , dressed in a striking wedding gown . Unlike a typical white dress , this one was a riot of color , the skirt blooming out like a flower in full blossom . It was the design I'd sketched ages ago , saying I'd wear it when we got married . But we'd already broken up . Why had he gone and made the dress anyway ? He reached out , gently running his hand over the fabric . Then , with a sudden burst of frustration , he grabbed the skirt and crumpled it in his fists . Turning away from the camera , he sank to the floor , motionless for a long time . Until I heard a clear , choked sob . His shoulders shook - was he crying ? I pressed my hand harder over my mouth , biting back tears with everything I had . I thought I was ready for this . I'd imagined walking in on Raymond and Ariana , wrapped up in each other , happy and in love . Never in a million years did I expect this scene . When the time was up , Joshua came out and ushered Raymond away . He looked at my tear - stained face , his expression complicated . " Evelyn , I really don't get you . You're not the kind of person who cares about money and status , so why did you leave Ray ? Do you have any idea how hard these days have been for him ? He's barely gotten by ... There were times he almost couldn't go on ... " I mimicked the cold , villainous attitude I'd seen in TV dramas . " Josh , maybe you don't know me at all . 38.42 % 21:15 Chapter 8 288 iVouchers " Who doesn't love money ? Back then , I didn't have a choice . Now that I do , of course , I have to look out for myself . " Joshua was furious and told me to get out . The door slammed behind me . At last , the tears spilled down my cheeks . " I'm sorry , Ray . Hate me , please - hate me as much as you can . Just don't love me anymore ... " 11 90.17 % Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
