I had a secret relationship with my best friend’s brother, Oscar Wellington, for four years. Today was our fourth anniversary, and I secretly went to the city where he was on a business trip to give him a surprise. However, I heard them talking and laughing at the hotel entrance. “Oscar, Donna Jenkins is back now. Are you planning to rekindle your relationship with her or continue having fun with your girlfriend?” “Yes, tomorrow is Donna’s 26th birthday. Do you want to get back together and propose? It will also be a good opportunity to fulfill your original promise.” “If you ask me, just ignore it. She was so heartless as she broke up with you, so you should let her experience it once.” Everyone was joking with Oscar. He didn’t say anything, nor did he respond. Oscar wasn’t too surprised by my sudden arrival. The next day, he took me to Donna’s birthday party. At the banquet, it seemed as if nothing that happened yesterday had ever happened. Oscar was very considerate to me, his eyes full of doting. But as Donna ran away with rears, he abandoned me and chased after her in panic. That night, I opened the private photo album on Oscar’s computer. Looking at the intimate photos of him and Donna, I completely gave up and called my father, Patrick Moore. “Dad, I agree to the marriage alliance.” There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment. It seemed like he didn’t expect me to turn around so quickly. My dad, Patrick, was a little surprised, and there was a hint of worry in his tone. “Bella, did something happen to you?” I suppressed the bitterness in my heart and pretended to be calm, saying, “I’m fine, Dad, and I’ve figured it out. I was just too willful. “My marriage alliance with the Brown family is beneficial for our cooperation with the company, and besides, you must have carefully considered the matter of marriage alliance for me.” “That’s for sure.” Seeing that my attitude was fine, Patrick finally breathed a sigh of relief. “The economy has been bad in recent years, but luckily, I have connected with the Brown family. They also want to develop in the long run and propose a marriage. I’m very pleased that you are sensible and considerate.” A sudden bitterness welled up in my heart, and I couldn’t help but burst into tears. After hanging up the phone, I booked a flight back to Kinston three days later. At 12 o’clock midnight, Oscar still didn’t go home. I curled up in the quilt, looking at the photos on the computer, feeling mixed emotions. He was my first love. However, after four years of dating, our relationship had never been made public. Even my best friend, Sharon Wellington, didn’t know about it. Oscar told me that he would wait until he was worthy of me before making our relationship public. Now, I understood. He didn’t make it public because I was never the one he loved. Maybe it was because I got caught in the rain on the way back. In the middle of the night, I woke up from my sleep in a daze, only to feel my whole body burning. I took out my cell phone and subconsciously wanted to dial that familiar number. The moment I pressed the button down, I suddenly woke up. Maybe I should slowly get used to life without him. I closed my eyes and prepared to just get through it. Suddenly, the door lock was unscrewed. A ray of dazzling light shone in. I was stunned, and then a pair of warm hands wrapped around my waist. The moment our cheeks touched, I heard his concerned voice. “Why are you so hot? Do you have a fever?” I gently broke free from Oscar’s hand, speaking in a calm tone. “It’s okay. I’ve taken the medicine, and I’ll be fine after a good sleep.” “How can this be possible?” Oscar frowned slightly, his tone brooking no refusal, “I’ll take you to the hospital.” As Oscar said that, he picked me up. A familiar yet unfamiliar smell hit me. It was the smell of a woman’s perfume, not mine. I frowned slightly, and Donna’s figure came to my mind, and I subconsciously wanted to resist. Sensing my emotions, Oscar tightened his grip on me again and said gently, “Be good, no matter what. Take care of your body first, okay?” I raised my eyes slightly and met his deep and concerned eyes. The next second, an inconspicuous red mark on his neck came into view. I was a bit stunned, feeling wronged, and tears uncontrollably flowed down my face. Seeing this, Oscar suddenly panicked. “Don’t cry, it’s my fault. I apologize, and let’s go to the hospital first. I’ll explain it to you, okay?” I stared at his gentle and compassionate look, feeling more miserable. He clearly looked like he loved me, but I knew he was just trying to coax me. Oscar would not tell me the truth. Of course, I didn’t mean to expose his tricks. I would treat it as a bit of dignity left for myself. Oscar, this time, I did not want you anymore…
In the hospital, Oscar was busy taking care of me without any impatience. The young girl who shared the room with me looked at me with envy from time to time. But at this moment, it was extremely ironic in my eyes. He held the hot soup, his eyes full of tenderness. “You don’t have much appetite, but you should eat something at least.” I turned my head away, pressed my lips, and said nothing, not wanting to pay any attention to him. Oscar knew that I was having an argument with him. He sighed softly and coaxed patiently, “Even if you’re angry with me, you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself. “I was wrong about what happened last night. Donna is a good friend of mine. I was discussing work with her last night, and I didn’t consider you for a moment. I apologize. “Don’t be angry, okay? I’ll stay with you today, and I won’t go anywhere.” I didn’t respond, just watching his eyes quietly. However, I could not feel the slightest sincerity of him. Suddenly, his phone rang at an inopportune time. Oscar lowered his eyes and glanced at it. His eyes darkened slightly, and he quickly got up to answer the phone. I did not know what was said over there. After a while, he came back in frustration and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Bella. The company has some important work that I need to go back to handle. Please wait for me in the hospital first, and I’ll finish my work soon and come back to pick you up, okay?” “Um.” I nodded without asking any more questions. “Wait for me to come back, and call me if you have anything.” Oscar finished speaking, leaned over, and gently kissed me on the cheek, then left in a hurry. I smiled bitterly in my heart. Without having to think, I knew who was on the other end of the phone. Towards evening, I finished my IV drip. But there was still no sign of Oscar, and he hadn’t even sent me a message. I did not know why, but after hesitating for a while, I still called him. No one answered the phone. I didn’t want to call him anymore and prepared to go home alone. At this time, Sharon called me. “Bella, where are you? Guess who I saw Oscar with now? It was his first love! “Well, you don’t know. He doesn’t like others talking about his relationship, and he also won’t let me talk about it with you. “Bella, do you want to come over? We haven’t been together for a long time.” I was miserable, and my voice became uncontrollably hoarse. “Okay.” Hanging up the phone, I went to the address that Sharon sent me in a daze. However, there was no sign of Oscar. Seeing my pale face, Sharon looked worried. “Bella, why do you look so bad? Are you sick?” I shook my head woodenly. “It’s okay, and I’ve already had the injection.” “That’s good.” “Come on. Let me take you to see something interesting.” Without waiting for me to speak, Sharon took my hand and knocked on the door of the next private room. The door of the private room was opened quickly. “What’s up?” His voice stopped abruptly, and Oscar looked stunned. “Why are you here?” Then, a woman’s clear voice was heard from inside the room. “Sharon, long time no see.” Sharon waved enthusiastically and pulled me straight past Oscar. “Donna, when did you come back?” Donna smiled slightly, “I just came back not long ago.” As she spoke, she glanced at me and smiled, “Who is this friend?” Sharon put her arm around my shoulder and introduced me enthusiastically, “This is my best friend, Bella Moore.” Donna looked at me. I wondered if it was my illusion, and there seemed to be a different kind of smile in her eyes. She extended her hand to me in a friendly manner. “Hello, I’m Donna Jenkins.” I nodded and shook her hand stiffly. At this time, Oscar, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke. “Donna and I have something to talk about. Sharon, you take Bella out first.” However, Sharon pressed her lips, ignored him, and said bluntly, “Donna, tell me the truth. Have you and Oscar reconciled?” Donna smiled and looked at Oscar. “You should ask him this question.” I was broken-hearted and subconsciously looked up at Oscar. He lowered his eyes and didn’t dare to look at me. The atmosphere suddenly froze for a moment. I couldn’t help but feel nervous. Donna’s answer clearly had a deeper meaning. But now that things had come to this, I still wanted to hear Oscar’s answer in person.
After a long silence, Oscar slowly explained, “Donna and I…” Before Oscar could finish speaking, Donna interrupted him with a smile, “Alright, don’t worry about us. I still need to think carefully about the matter between Oscar and me. Even if we want to reconcile, it depends on his performance.” He was visibly relieved. His face was tense, his expression seemed a little ugly, and his tone was serious. “We have something else to do, so I’ll take you back later.” “Well.” Sharon tactfully said nothing more and pulled me away. My gaze was fixed on Oscar, but from beginning to end, he didn’t even bother to look at me. I wanted to leave right away, but my body was frozen in place uncontrollably. I tried my best to calm my emotions and didn’t dare reveal any clues. After a while, I received a text message from Oscar. [Don’t think too much, and I will explain the matter between Donna and me to you when I get back.] I find it a little funny. Until now, how many nice lies could Oscar make up to deceive me? I had a tasteless meal. Sharon told me a lot about the past of Oscar and Donna. I was a little dazed. It seemed that everything I did during the four years with Oscar was mixed with the regrets he and Donna once had. He was commemorating their past feelings in another way. Finally, I couldn’t hold on any longer. I had to find an excuse and leave first. I didn’t return home that night, and the next day, I ignored Oscar’s phone calls. I went directly to the company to complete the resignation procedures. Unexpectedly, as I just arrived downstairs of my house, I unexpectedly ran into Donna. Her appearance was very subtle. I nodded slightly, not feeling that my relationship with her could reach the level of small talk, and walked away. However, Donna stood in front of me. “Ms. Moore, do you live here too?” I didn’t deny it, “Ms. Jenkins, are you to meet Oscar?” She nodded and smiled slightly, “You two seem to know each other well, right?” As Donna spoke, she looked at my face carefully and smiled meaningfully, “I wanted to say this last night. Ms. Moore, do you think that our eyes and brows are quite similar?” I was shocked. Looking at her provocative eyes, I had never felt so embarrassed and humiliated as I did now. But I still had to force myself to smile. “Maybe…” Finishing saying that, I didn’t want to say anything more and wanted to escape in panic. “I know your relationship.” Donna suddenly called me. She slowly approached me, smiling provocatively, “I know Oscar. No matter how well he hides it, it won’t escape my insight. “Thank you for training him for me for so long. Now, you can leave.” As Donna spoke, she patted my shoulder and leaned over to whisper, “So what if you’re unwilling? You’ve already lost, and any further struggle would only bring humiliation upon yourself.” My heart ached. However, before I said anything… “Ah!” Donna suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. “Donna!” A familiar voice called out to my ears. Then, I was violently knocked away by a figure. I stumbled, and my arm scraped against the corner of the wall beside me. Oscar looked concerned. “Is anything wrong?” Donna looked pitiful. “It’s okay, and I just sprained my ankle. “Don’t misunderstand her. Ms. Moore didn’t mean it, and she seems to have some misunderstandings about me.” I find it a little funny. However, before I could say anything, Oscar yelled at me, “Bella! I said I would have a good talk with you, but why are you looking for trouble with Donna?” “It’s not me!” “Did Donna deliberately frame you? I know who she is better than you!” “So, in your eyes, I am such a despicable person, right?” Oscar answered straightforwardly, “I only believe what I see. Bella, don’t use these inferior methods in front of me.” Finishing saying that, he picked up Donna and left without looking back. I stood there in a daze, feeling an unbearable sadness in my heart. Four years of sincere dedication was not as good as one sentence from her. At this moment, I completely admitted that I lost. I went home and took everything I had with me as if I had never been there. There was only one day left before I left. I did not know why, but even now, I was still looking forward to news about Oscar. But there was no news from him. Before boarding the plane, I edited a text message to Oscar. [Let’s break up.] Then, I deleted all his contact information, completely cutting off my way out.
