Fedrict's questioning tone was silenced by my cold and indifferent reply, which seemed to catch in his throat. "Let it go!"
I ended the call just as the car arrived at my apartment complex. "Leave it, why should he explain it to me, it's all so obvious to me, there's no need to explain."
After I left, I saw a lot of notifications from Fedrict's work group chat. When I opened it, the number of unread messages was 99+. At the top was a photo Amora had uploaded of Fedrict repairing his electrical wiring and plumbing. "As I suspected, this petty woman had other intentions, she wanted Fedrict's attention and the reason behind it all. Behind her innocent-looking face, she seemed to pounce on me from behind, daring to stab me in the heart when I was off guard. "She's such a petty and clever woman, I didn't expect that!" I muttered.
Some of my work press chats started popping up, commenting on a photo in the app group.
[Who else has such a caring boss? [I would love to dedicate my life to this company! Can I sign a lifetime contract?"]
Below her post were comments from other employees filled with envy and admiration.
[I have never seen a boss behave like that. Didn't the janitor say he was a very neat person? It doesn't look that way here!"]
[Oh my, he looks so handsome without his suit! From now on, I dream of being Mrs. Haskins! Don't touch him!]
[This photo was uploaded by future Mrs. Haskins. Wake up, work is your only purpose in life].
Before he hired Amora, I used to help Fedrict with all these tasks without expecting anything in return. However, after he joined and took over my role, I forgot to leave the group chat. After reading all the replies in the group, I deleted the recording and logged out of the application. Now that I've decided to move on, watching footage of their life together isn't as painful as I thought it would be. Maybe it's because that pain has been repeated many times, and my feelings have faded day by day.
I remember the early days when I just started working at the company after graduation. Fedrict was always sharing snippets of my work in the group chat, sneaking photos of me making coffee or updating the schedule. Everyone in the office knew he liked me. His love made the daily grind feel a little sweeter, and his affection brought a spark to boring work chats. But everything changed when Amora arrived. She took over all my duties, and Fedrict forbade anyone from mentioning me in the group. He seemed interested in her, openly and subtly. This woman had truly succeeded in eliminating me from both work and Fedrict's heart.
One of my former colleagues, who was close to me, once made the innocuous remark that Amora wasn't as good as me. Fedrict immediately cut off her bonus for a year. Then I secretly transferred ten thousand dollars to him, hoping to prevent him from quitting impulsively.
Returning to the place I'd called home for the past ten years, but which had never really been mine, I began to pack my things. My eyes fell on a thick photo album filled with memories from the past decade. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I opened it and flipped through each page.
Each photo was a gift from Fedrict. Ten years ago, he told me he would give me a thousand surprises before we got married. He wanted to win my heart sincerely, so I willingly became his wife. The album that was made to hold those 1000 photos now has only
Each photo is a gift from Fedrict to me. Ten years ago, he told me that he would give me 1000 surprises before we got married. He wanted to win my heart sincerely, so I willingly became his wife. The album that was made to hold those 1000 photos now has only one blank page. But in the end, it was all for nothing.
I looked at him with a bitter smile, "Fedrict, why did you change so quickly after Amora came? You even forgot our memories after ten years together." I muttered to myself. Unnoticed, my tears fell down my cheeks, even though I tried to forget and be calm, still when I remember those memories it makes my heart sad, it's too hard to forget if in a moment.
"Fedrict, don't you remember me now? Do you still like me or have you given your heart to Amora?" My crying intensified. I let out my sadness at that moment. I wanted to throw it away and make it my last cry for her, to remember all the memories with Fedrict.
"There's no other way, I can't see these memories always breaking my heart, what can I do for myself!" I said firmly and confidently.
I stood up and went to the balcony, carrying the album to a quiet and open place, I lit a match and burned it instantly. "I'm sorry Fedrict, I had to do this, I couldn't let my heart break anymore, hoping for someone like you. You've given me happiness all these years, but now you've given me a painful wound that's hard for me to get up and move on from. This is my way of forgetting all our memories because I don't want to see you again. I said bitterly between sobs.
I watched each photo burn, slowly turning to ash, burying the last ten years of my life with him. I wiped away my tears and tried to be strong. I was determined not to cry over them and make myself sad. "Goodbye to my sweet memories that burned in the fire." I said, closing my eyes after the fire burned the pieces of the photo album.
Not long after, Fedrict arrived and saw me standing over the fire, his face deathly pale.
Soon Fedrict arrived and saw me standing over the flames, his face deathly pale. He rushed over and pushed me aside, trying to save what he could. "No! Fedrict frantically tried to put out the fire.
But the heat was too intense for him to reach. Within seconds, his hands were red from the heat. Furious, he stomped on the burning album, trying to extinguish the flames that were devouring each photo.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy? All these memories are lost because of you!" he shouted.
