The Wrong Woman

"I..." Shelly stammered. She swallowed nervously and continued, "I-I'm doing this because I care about you."

Sienna wiped away her tears, her voice trembling with emotion as she said, "There are countless people in this world. Every day, lives are lost to illness, accidents, or even violence. Who can we truly protect from such fates?

"If I marry a driver, can you promise he won't be involved in a tragic accident? If I marry a small business owner, can you guarantee he won't fall victim to alcoholism?

"If I marry a farmer, can you promise he won't succumb to poverty or illness? Just look at the heartbreaking stories of entire families being devastated that we see in the news. "Behind these incidents are ordinary people. These unforeseeable tragedies aren't exclusive to anti-drug officers. I beg you. Please don't transfer your misfortune onto me."

As Sienna finished speaking, she collapsed onto the couch and sobbed uncontrollably.

Shelly felt panicked and was unsure of what to do. She stood still, her thoughts in chaos.

Sienna stood up after crying, wiping away her tears and sniffing. "Your first love, who later became your fiancé, passed away in an accident, and it haunted you forever. "Now, I'm just as miserable as you are. The only difference is my first love didn't die. You're the one who suffocated our relationship."

Shelly's face went pale, and she froze in place.

After speaking her mind, Sienna grabbed her phone and headed to her room.
