---- Chapter 4 "Ally, where are you going?" Thomas yelled in panic. " Alice Redfield!" The thunderous roar of the helicopter propellers reverberated in my ears. I leaned over to look at the ground. Thomas was sprinting after the helicopter as if he truly believed he had a chance to catch up to it. He tripped over his own feet and crashed to the ground. The groomsmen hurried to pick him up, but he quickly broke out of their grasp and continued to chase after the helicopter. I'd never seen him lose his composure over me before. I supposed it made sense. He had cared deeply for me during the first five years of our relationship. In order to help him attract more clients, I'd once had so much alcohol that my stomach had begun to bleed. He had held me when he found out, sobbing until he lost his voice. During a critical moment when his company was in ---- the process of being publicly listed, I sacrificed countless nights of sleep to complete my research in order to improve his chances. I had grown so weak by then that I lost consciousness. He had been beyond panicked when he rushed me to the hospital. When I woke up, he lost his composure. The strength had fled from his arms and legs as he collapsed to his knees, holding on to meas he cried. I couldn't help but wonder when Thomas had started distancing himself from me. It might have been during Melody's 18th birthday party. She had gotten drunk and kissed him. Thomas had stayed with her for the rest of the night. Ever since that day, they'd grown closer and closer to each other while I became the outsider. When we started dating, Thomas had said to me multiple times, "Ally, meeting you is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I want to marry you. As long as we can be together for the rest of our lives, I'm willing to do anything." ---- In the last five years, I had repeatedly asked him for one thing-to draw a boundary between him and Melody. But he had failed to do so. Perhaps he behaved this way because he had gotten bored with dating me. Or perhaps all men preferred younger women. Or maybe after Melody kissed him, he was struck with the realization that the one he loved was her. The sound of my ringing phone snapped me out of my thoughts. Thomas was calling me. When I answered the call, he sounded extremely panicked. "Ally, where are you going?" he asked. "Tt has nothing to do with you." Iused to be head over heels in love with Thomas. But now I only felt irritated when I heard his voice. "What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? Did you forget that today is our wedding day?" "T'm not forgetful like you. I did this on purpose. You stood me up so many times, so my absence just once for our wedding isn't too unreasonable, am I right?" Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
