In a world where dreams and reality collide,Lilly Conley stood at the precipice of a monumental decision.Ten years of relentless pursuit of Luca Marshall,the man she believed was her destiny,had culminated in a proposal,a public declaration of their love,and even the naming of a celestial body after her.Yet,on the eve of their union,a shocking discovery threatened to dismantle the life she had meticulously built around their relationship.
It was in the sterile confines of a meeting room where Lilly's world came crashing down.There,she caught a glimpse of Luca,the man she had sacrificed so much for,embracing another woman,their closeness a stark contrast to the distance she had felt growing between them.As the couple left for a party,the image burned itself into her mind,igniting a series of recollections that brought her to a grim realization—Luca had been deceiving her all along.
Over the years,she had overlooked countless signs—the untouched bentos,the perfume stains on the passenger seat,the late nights at the office,and the disdainful remarks from his friends.She had convinced herself that her efforts were not enough,that she needed to try harder to be worthy of him.But now,facing the truth,Lilly could no longer ignore the fact that she had been nothing more than a showpiece to Luca,a pretty face to flaunt among his peers.
With three days left until the wedding,Lilly stood before a calendar she had lovingly adorned with hearts,counting down the days to what was supposed to be her fairy-tale ending.Instead,she found herself marking an'X'through the penultimate day,a symbolic act of closure.The pain was overwhelming,a thousand needles piercing her heart,but it was also liberating—a chance to reclaim her dignity and chart her own path.
In the midst of her turmoil,an unexpected lifeline arrived in the form of a call from Professor Salazar,offering her a place on his research team abroad.The opportunity was a beacon of hope,a chance to rebuild her life and pursue her passions without the shackles of a loveless relationship.With a trembling voice,she accepted the invitation,cancelling the wedding in the process.
However,before she could fully embrace her new beginning,one last challenge awaited her.A call from Luca's friend commanded her to fetch Luca,who was too drunk to care for himself.This final act was a test of her resolve,a chance to prove to herself—and to Luca—that she was no longer the doormat he had taken her for.As she prepared to confront him,Lilly knew that this was the end of an era,the closing chapter of a painful chapter in her life.
