Having made up his mind, he proceeded to read the entire diary� Anyway, he�d already made the first wrong move. He might as well commit to the end!

However, Stefan was a little surprised. It wasn�t a diary, after all, but a novel script.

This novel was none other than the one about him and Renee that he used to read.

He even recalled that the link to the novel was deleted just as he was getting to the thick of it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn�t retrieve the link. Consequently, he wasn�t able to read the remaining chapters of the novel.

Although Stefan had found out long ago that Renee was the author, he never exposed her.

He never expected to one day read the script of the novel!

Without the slightest bit of hesitation, he began to read it.

Renee�s writing was neat and easy to read. He had no trouble recognizing it.

He recalled reading about the first time they met.

The second chapter was titled �Falling.�

�I never thought �love at first sight� actually existed in this world. We met in the most beautiful way possible, but we spent our time together in the worst way imaginable� I knew he didn�t love me, but he had no choice but to marry me. That�s why I can understand why he treated me so coldly the way he did� �

�I guess he must have had a lot on his mind�dreams, poems, songs, ambitions, the girl he loved� everything but me. Even so, I still cried tears of joy when we exchanged vows in front of the priest and put the ring on each other�s fingers. I fantasized about the day I�d finally find a place in his heart� even if it was just a tiny part!�

�I cried my lungs out. He was petrified when he saw me in that state. Although he was disgusted, he still wiped my tears away and put the ring on my finger. He was cold yet gentle� At that moment� I started falling.�

Three, The Long Wait.

�I�ve imagined us doing things together after getting married�watching variety shows on the couch, building complicated castles from Lego bricks, playing games together as a team, feeding kittens together, and even watching him eat all the food I make. After all that, we�d hold each other�s hand and fall asleep in each other�s arms. Little did I know, he would always say, �Wait.� Wait for him to come home. Wait for him to have a meal together. Wait for him to be free� Sadly, I could count on my fingers the times we actually did something together�

�On countless seemingly endless lonely nights, I fell asleep on my own. Life was slowly slipping through my fingers, and so was my love for him. Whenever I felt the love was drying up, he�d suddenly smile at me or call out at me. It might even be a micro-expression on his face. That was enough to make my heart race again. I was too weak. I loved him too much!�

Four, Chapter Five, Chapter Six�

Stefan maintained the same posture as he read on. He was like a statue.

As he flipped through the pages, his heart began to ache. His vision was turning blurry too�

He never knew Renee was capable of writing in such detail. In just a few words, she managed to describe their cold marriage with great accuracy. JrNovels.com
