On the wedding day, my fiance ran away in a hurry because of a text message. I don't want him anymore.

On our fifth wedding anniversary, Liam promised me the grand wedding he’d always wanted to give me.

He said he deeply regretted not giving me a ceremony back then, and that I would be the most beautiful bride.

But on our wedding day, he got a text message and rushed off.

I chased after him, stumbling in my heavy wedding dress. He only offered a rushed comfort: “Avery, something really important came up at work. I have to go.”

His lies were pathetic, so clumsy, but I didn't even have the energy to call him out.

Because I had cancer. And I didn’t have long left.
