The Day My Heart Broke Harper had fallen for her brother’s friend. He was six years her senior, so she’d kept her crush a carefully guarded secret. Until one time, she just couldn’t resist stealing a kiss from him in the dim light while he was drunk. As she turned to flee, she crashed into his suddenly open eyes. He lazily lifted his eyelids. “Want me to teach you how to kiss, huh? Too bad I’m not interested in little girls.” Her face flushed crimson, but she still gathered her courage. “So you think I’m too young? That’s okay, I’ll grow up!” He paused, then smiled. “Alright then. When you turn 22, if you still like me, I’ll consider it.” In that moment, her heart pounded like a drum. From then on, she clung to him every day until she turned 22. She couldn’t wait to find him and have him fulfill his promise, but at the VIP room door, she heard a baby’s cries. She froze for a few seconds, then focused her gaze. Adrian Knight was holding a wailing baby, trying to soothe it. The circle of guys around him all covered their ears, looking utterly tormented. “Adrian, you’re really going all out. To reject that little girl, you actually got a baby to pretend you’re a dad?” Harper’s mind buzzed, then went completely blank. “What else?” Adrian Knight’s voice held his familiar lazy drawl. “She’s 22 today, here to claim that old promise.” “You really dislike Harper that much? The girl’s actually pretty good, beautiful and sweet, and she’s totally devoted to you…” “It’s not about liking or disliking her.” Adrian Knight’s voice suddenly deepened. “You guys know who I’ve always had in my heart.” The VIP room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in knowing laughter. “Willow! No wonder… I’m telling you, you overthink too much. With a face like yours, who wouldn’t be smitten? Willow couldn’t possibly say no, could she? You just cherish her too much.” “All these years, I didn’t know how to say it, afraid I’d lose her as a friend if I did. Harper’s situation… it’s a good opportunity, actually.” Adrian Knight’s voice was laced with a smile. “I told Willow there’s a girl who’s been clinging to me, and I don’t know how to get rid of her. I asked her to pretend to be my girlfriend for a while. Then, I’ll show up with her and this ‘borrowed’ baby in front of that little girl, and we’ll even stage a wedding. That way, Harper will give up on me, and it’ll also help move things along with Willow. After the fake wedding, I’ll confess my feelings to Willow right then and there.” Hearing Adrian Knight’s two-birds-one-stone plan, everyone ‘tsk-tsked’ in amazement, unable to stop themselves from pounding the table in approval. Amidst the burst of laughter, no one noticed Harper standing outside the VIP room. The cake box slipped from her hands, hitting the ground with a dull thud. She no longer had the courage to push open the door. Tears streamed down her face as she turned and ran, her mind a blur. The rain outside the club was heavy. Harper ran quickly, letting the downpour drench the dress she had carefully prepared.
