The One True Love That Never Fades

The year Felix Gibson and I were most in love, we got married.

After the wedding, I quit my job and devoted all my attention to him.

But he thought I was too clingy and started seeing one woman after another on the side.

I did not care because I knew they were just flings. That was, until he kept standing up for one of them repeatedly.

When I confronted him, he casually said, "Lexie, she reminds me so much of how you used to be."

I filed for divorce and moved abroad to focus on my career. Forget about being anyone’s second choice. I was determined to stand out on my own.

Later, Felix came back, begging on his knees for me to take him back.

I placed the last dish on the table, ready to wash my hands and join him for dinner. Just then, Felix Gibson received a call.

From the other end of the line came a woman’s voice, soft and frightened, almost pleading.

Felix looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with regret and longing.

"Lexie, she reminds me so much of how you used to be."

I almost lost my balance, clutching the back of the chair tightly to steady myself. My nails dug into my palm, but I felt no pain.

It was not until now that I had to admit, Madison was different from all the other women before her.

She could effortlessly capture all of Felix’s attention.

He left.

The meal I had prepared for our wedding anniversary, gradually turned cold. Just like our elegant yet indifferent marriage.

I pulled out my phone and saw Madison’s latest post.

"What do I do when my boyfriend is too sweet? It’s just regular period cramps, but he rushed over with a ton of stuff for me. He even joked that today is my ‘Little Princess’s Cramp Day’ and said he’d always remember it."

The accompanying photo showed a large hand gently resting on her abdomen.

The luxury watch on his wrist indicated that the man was Felix.

I remembered our first wedding anniversary. Because of Felix’s neglect, I had
