Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 2

The entire room was silenced as soon as Skylar stormed in.

Skylar was able to recognize the girl of his dreams, Yvonne with a single glance.

“Hey Yvonne, it’s me, Skylar. I’m back to fulfill the promise I made to you all those years ago. I’m back to marry you!” He sounded quite emotional when he said that as he grabbed Yvonne’s hand. As remorseful as he seemed, he looked very responsible as well when he made that claim.

“It’s you?” Yvonne snapped out of her trance as her expression grew bitter before saying, “I’m busy. I need you to leave now. We can talk later.”

“I know you’re going to marry this man! Tell me, were you forced by your family? Don’t worry, I’ll help you deal with them right now!” Skylar exclaimed while taking a quick glance at Harry.

“Who do you think you are, scumbag! How dare you disrespect me like this?” Harry was displeased by how disrespectful Skylar was.

“How dare you claim that her family has forced her to do any of this when we’re both madly in love with each other. Oh, I remember now. You’re Skylar, that poor footsoldier who was obsessed with Yvonne five years ago!”

“A footsoldier?” Skylar frowned.

Harry scoffed and said, “Aren’t you? Oh, do you really think that by giving Yvonne your life savings that she’ll foolishly wait for your return? Look, I’m not here to burst your bubble, but you should really be a little brighter, you know? You can’t even afford to host a birthday party for her, let alone marry her. Oh please, keep dreaming now!”

Hearing this only made Skylar feel worse as he wondered just how a complete stranger even found out about him giving his life savings to Yvonne back then.
