Too Bad I Was Him

Summary

My parents set me up on a marriage match—and it turned out to be my girlfriend, Chloe.

I was hyped. I went straight to the luxury boutique where she worked, ready to tell her.

Then I stopped outside the VIP room.

"Chloe, if you're dumping him, just do it. Why fake cancer? You're putting bad juju on yourself."

"What do you know? A dead ex sticks forever. Next week, I'm getting engaged to a Remington. Having an ex like me? That's his win."

Inside, her friends hyped her up. Laughter all around.

I just stood there, cold spreading through me.

Three years. A joke to her.
