The Day He Abandoned Our Home Deposit

Seven years together, and on the day we were supposed to put down the deposit for our future home, Ethan didn't show.

He sent a message: "Chloe had a small car accident. She's really shaken up, so I need to stay with her at the hospital."

"Let's sign for the apartment next week. I'm going to marry you anyway, what's a few extra days?"

"Don't overthink it. She's all alone in a new city; I just see her as a sister."

I stared at the bank card in my hand, calmly typed one word: "Okay."

Then, I turned around and bought the apartment outright, putting only my name on the title.
