On the day we were supposed to get our marriage license, my boyfriend's childhood friend insisted on coming along. She said she wanted to be there for our happy moment. But as we waited in line, she suddenly fainted. Right there, my boyfriend intertwined his fingers with hers, giving her CPR. When the ambulance arrived, without a second glance at me, he accompanied her on the way to the hospital. That evening, she posted on Instagram, "Only Joel truly cares for me, always putting me first," along with a selfie of them cheek-to-cheek. I pulled out my phone and sent a message to Professor Washington: "Professor Washington, is the plan to study abroad still an option?" --- A cold wind swept through, and I shivered involuntarily, staring at the marriage certificate in my hand. This was the fifth time Joel Porter had failed to show at the marriage registry. Each time, his excuses sounded plausible. But this time, I finally felt completely let down.

Chapter 1 of After My Fiancé Kissed His Mistress, I Left Him

On the day we were supposed to get our marriage license, my boyfriend's childhood friend insisted on coming along. She said she wanted to be there for our happy moment. But as we waited in line, she suddenly fainted. Right there, my boyfriend intertwined his fingers with hers, giving her CPR. When the ambulance arrived, without a second glance at me, he accompanied her on the way to the hospital.

That evening, she posted on Instagram, "Only Joel truly cares for me, always putting me first," along with a selfie of them cheek-to-cheek. I pulled out my phone and sent a message to Professor Washington: "Professor Washington, is the plan to study abroad still an option?"

---

A cold wind swept through, and I shivered involuntarily, staring at the marriage certificate in my hand. This was the fifth time Joel Porter had failed to show at the marriage registry. Each time, his excuses sounded plausible. But this time, I finally felt completely let down. I quietly returned the certificate to my bag.

When I got home, my phone started buzzing with messages from Joel. But I couldn't bring myself to respond. Every message revolved around Johanna.

"Johanna isn't feeling well. She's craving the stew you make. Start cooking now, and I'll pick it up later."

"Johanna's staying overnight at the hospital. She's not great with germs. Head to the department store and buy her some clothes—no budget brands, she's not like you, who wears anything."

"Oh, and go by to pick up her laundry. You're used to this kind of stuff, so handling a couple more items won't matter."

"Johanna's scared of the dark. I'm worried about her being alone at the hospital, so I'll be staying there tonight."

A wave of discomfort washed over me as I read through the messages. After a brief glance, I powered off my phone. Just like Joel said, he spent the entire night with Johanna. It wasn't until the next day that he came home, a grocery bag in one hand and a phone in the other, smiling as he walked into the kitchen, unaware of me lying on the sofa.

In five years of dating, he'd never once made a meal for me. Was he really going to cook today? He washed the vegetables while chatting away with Johanna on speakerphone. Sitting in the living room, I heard every word. Johanna's sugary voice came through from the other end.

"Joel, you aren't mad at me, are you? It's all my fault for being unwell, messing things up for you and Aylin."

"And you kissed me in front of everyone. Aylin must hate me now."

"If you two break up because of me, it'll be on me."

Her fake sobs followed. Joel, hearing her supposed distress, quickly comforted her.

"Johanna, don't blame yourself. You fainted unexpectedly; it wasn't your fault."

When he mentioned me, his tone took on a condescending edge.

"What right does Aylin have to be angry? She should be thankful for the chance to marry me. We've been together for five years, and she's nearing 30. Who else would want her?"

"Relax, she loves me to bits. I'd tell her to jump, and she'd ask how high. Don't blame yourself, or I'll be upset."

As I listened, I clenched my fists. I had been with him since I was 21, and now I was 26. Five prime years, all spent on Joel. Friends who started relationships after me were married with kids, and I've lost track of the weddings I've attended. They often teased me, asking when Joel would marry me. Each time, I could only laugh it off.

I had asked Joel when he’d marry me, only to be told over and over to wait. This year, he finally said he'd choose a day for our license. But ultimately, it turned out to be empty words.

Joel Porter, if you never intended to marry me, why did you bother getting involved with me in the first place?

Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Chapter 1 It was their seventh wedding anniversary. Carolyn found the divorce agreement in Roger’s nightstand. The pages were covered in scribbles and corrections, as if he’d agonized over them for years. *"If, during the marriage, I fall in love with another person, I voluntarily relinquish all assets and leave with nothing. Asset details as follows…"* His first impulse had been to walk away empty-handed. But the asset section told a different story—a mess of revisions. First, he’d crossed out the property he intended to give her. Then, the fifty million earmarked for her was scratched out and replaced with five hundred thousand. Finally, as if in penance, he had written a single line. *"Better to have Carolyn leave with nothing. No choice, Catherine is pregnant."* … Carolyn sank onto the bed, disbelief washing over her. On the agreement, Roger’s signature was clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. And the document had been drafted seven years ago—the very year they married. That year, Roger had been willing to give up everything for her. Yet every year after, he had crossed out another piece of their shared life. Now, seven years later, the one leaving with nothing would be her. Her phone buzzed abruptly. A message from Roger. *"Urgent business. Won't be back."* She called, only to find his phone already switched off. Another notification flashed—a screenshot from a friend. Catherine, the student she sponsored, had posted on social media. *"Wow, got praised! To commemorate my first period without a leak, the big boss said we should celebrate properly!"* In a nine-photo collage, Roger gazed at her, eyes crinkling with affection as he fastened a dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck. The post was tagged at a couples-themed hotel. Carolyn’s breath caught. He couldn’t remember seven years of marriage, of weathering storms together—but he could find the energy to celebrate Catherine’s… leak-free period. And that pendant… she’d seen it at an auction just last week. It was her mother’s lost heirloom. She’d been ready to bid when her bank card was frozen. She’d asked Roger why. A long time later, he finally texted back, telling her not to waste money on such impractical things. Clutching her bidding paddle, she’d sat helplessly in the auction hall. In the end, she resolved to sell one of her own designs to raise the funds. But someone on the phone swooped in with an unbeatable offer and took it. For weeks afterward, Carolyn hated herself—hated that she couldn’t protect her mother’s last keepsake. She never imagined the one who snatched it away was Roger. He knew exactly how much that pendant meant to her. Yet he gave it to Catherine. Even on their seventh anniversary, Roger had lied about being busy with work, while wining and dining the girl she’d sponsored. The anniversary gift he left her was a divorce agreement demanding she leave with nothing. Seven years of marriage. Seven years of infidelity. And Carolyn had known nothing. She’d even introduced the other woman to him herself. Catherine was the impoverished student Carolyn sponsored. The first time Catherine came to their home to give thanks, Roger found her intrusive and disliked her on sight. *"That girl has no manners. Tracked mud all over my cashmere rug."* *"If her grades aren’t up to par, cut the sponsorship."* Back then, Carolyn had teased him, saying not to be jealous—it was good the girl had a grateful heart. She never once suspected Roger and Catherine. For seven years, everyone in their circle believed Roger never played around. That he loved only Carolyn. But by their next meeting, Catherine had become Roger’s personal assistant. Roger explained, *"The girl’s had it tough. You’ve sponsored her for years. Giving her a job is just helping you out."* Carolyn had laughed it off. Now, hands trembling, she opened Catherine’s social media feed. Catherine had always hidden her posts from Carolyn. Now, she seemed desperate to flaunt everything. While Carolyn drank until her stomach bled to secure a deal for Roger, Catherine was using Roger’s card to buy her first Louis Vuitton. While Carolyn changed bedpans for Roger’s bedridden grandmother, Roger was taking Catherine to a perfume atelier for a blending class—calling it a business trip. Catherine had even complained online. *"Your wife is such a pampered princess. Can't handle the tiniest thing without you running back. Can she not live without a man?"* And Roger had replied beneath it. *"If she were half as independent as you, I’d have an easier life."* But that day… Carolyn’s mother had lost her battle with cancer. She’d cried until her heart felt shredded, scrambling to handle the arrangements. All the while, Roger kept checking his phone impatiently, eager to leave. Not for work, she realized now—but because he was desperate to get back to Catherine.
