Synopsis

Chapter 1Chapter 1

On my birthday, my boyfriend set off the most dazzling fireworks for his childhood sweetheart. A passerby captured the moment on video and quickly uploaded it online, where it quickly went viral, garnering an endless stream of well–wishes. 

His friends joked about me, asking, "What do you think about this?"

I replied indifferently, "I just watched it. What else could I do?"

The video spread like wildfire online, with the comment section filled with praise for them as a perfect match. 

As I listened to the joyful laughter of the fireworks in the video, the feast in front of me only made my heart sink deeper. 

It was my birthday, and Alex had promised to come home early to celebrate with me, but he called in the afternoon to say he had an unexpected engagement and would be late. 

I believed him and was still looking forward to celebrating my birthday with him when he got back. 

Little did I know, his "engagement" was to accompany his childhood sweetheart, Vivian, in setting off fireworks. 

How ironic it was. 

In the video, Alex's handsome face, usually aloof and cold, was filled with laughter, and his were full of tenderness as he looked at Vivian. 

This was a smile I had never received. 

Before this, I thought he was just naturally not a smiling person, incapable of expressing affection. 

I laughed in self–mockery, unwrapped the cake, and ate it in silence. 

The greasy, sweet taste spread in my mouth, but suddenly, it felt pretty pointless. 

I took my phone and calfed Alex. 

He answered quickly, and his voice was as cold as ever. "What's up?"

As he spoke, I could clearly hear the sound of fireworks in the background. 

eyes

After a two–second silence, I swallowed the cake in my mouth and asked calmly, "Where are you?" "At the office. What's the matter. " He seemed to have moved away from the riverside, and the

sound of fireworks was gone. 

His voice was still calm, showing no signs of the panic one would expect when lying. 

I glanced at the video on my tablet and felt even more disinterested. 

"Let's break up. "

"You're making a fuss again. "

Isneered, "Browse the videos online more often, Mr. Internet Celebrity. "

With that, I hung up the phone. 

Since I had proposed the breakup, I shouldn't stay at his place any longer. 

I looked at the untouched dishes on the table, gof up, and went to the kitchen to find some containers to pack them up. 

Then I packed my belongings and took a taxi back to my small apartment, which I hadn't visited in a long time. 

Finishing all this, I took a taxi back to my small house that I hadn't visited in a long time. After I graduated from university, my parents bought me a small apartment in this city. 

After getting together with Alex, he always said that our homes were too far apart, and it was troublesome for us to commute between them, so he asked me to move in with him. 

Actually, the distance between these two houses was just the distance between him and me. We looked close, but our hearts seemed to be separated by the Pacific Ocean. 

Back in the long–lost small house, I tidied up simply and went to bed after washing up. The next day, I found only a few messages on my phone. 

[What's the matter with you now?]

Come back when you've calmed down. Don't be too willful. ]

It seemed he came home last night and found out I had moved out. 

I didn't reply to his messages and just went about my own business. 

This kind of thing wasn't the first time it had happened. 

Vivian would call him whenever something was wrong. She would even ask him to accompany her when she was awakened by thunder at midnight and couldn't sleep. 

I had questioned him and quarreled and argued with him. 

But he said, "People with a dirty heart see everything as dirty. "

Every time he abandoned me to go to Vivian, he would send me roses afterward to appease me. And I would continue to be deeply immersed in this relationship as if nothing had happened. But I was tired this time.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?
