Chapter 100

There were seven photos, each featuring a girl. The first four were her and Neil, under cherry blossom trees, on lover’s bridge, and with a Ferris wheel They were wearing matching outfits and grinning like they had won the lottery. The next two were a stark contrast, filled with sorrow She was crying in a selfie, and her wrist was stained with blood. The last one was the worst. It was a corpse, presumably drowned. Soaked to the bone and tangled in seaweed, her skin was pale and bloated

It took me a few minutes to regain my bearings, and my voice was shaky, “Mom, who is she?”

“Ever seen anyone who looks like her?‘ Faith gently shot back another question

I nodded Yeah, Bonnie was practically her doppelganger.

Faith put the photos away, sighing, Trene, her name is Karina, a girl Neil once had a thing for.”

That was the only time I was away from Neil that long, trying to find something to chat about online every day I remembered how Neil changed his Facebook background to a cartoon peach, which threw me into a tizzy, fearing he was in love

Neil met Karina during that time, the first girl he really fell for. It was different from his past flings; he was serious about Karina, but his family was dead against it.

Neil’s grandpa was seriously ill, and wanting to see Neil get married, they set out to find a suitable match. They thought I was a good fit. When I learned I was to marry Neil, I didn’t hesitate to say yes, which only fueled the Whitmore family’s opposition to Karina

“Why didn’t you tell me then?” I asked.
