On our seventh anniversary, I inadvertently stumbled upon a hidden confession in Liam's public Facebook post. It was his unrequited love for Destinee. I realized then that the initials letters on our wedding rings were never meant to stand for Liam and Divya, but for his unwavering longing for Destinee. He was eager to marry me on a holiday, not out of love, but because Destinee was also getting married to someone else that day. "Divya, what is the fuss again?" Liam asked, standing at the door. I turned to face him calmly and said, "Liam, let's break up." He furrowed his brows slightly, trying to snatch the phone from my hand as he entered the room, only to find that I had already saved a screenshot. "Why are you so upset about an old post?"

Chapter 1 Complete Break

On the seventh anniversary of my relationship with Liam Lyons, I opened my phone and clicked on his Facebook.

He had never posted an update before, but today he unexpectedly posted one.

He hadn't blocked me. Maybe he forgot to do that.

He only wrote a short line. "We had our wedding on the same day, but the person I married was not you."

The accompanying image was of a man's diamond ring, with two letters engraved clearly on the inside of the band, and it was LD.

I lowered my gaze to the identical ring on my finger.

Liam and I have been in a relationship for seven years, but he never mentioned marriage.

Last month, however, he suddenly came to me with this ring, eager to discuss getting engaged on Independence Day.

I thought my seven years of persistence had finally paid off.

It turned out that I was wrong.

The LD on our wedding rings never stood for Liam and me.

It was for him and his unforgettable first love, Destinee James.

He chose to marry me on Independence Day, not out of love, but simply because Destinee was marrying someone else that day.

How ridiculous!

I stared at the ring and sneered.

The door was unlocked, and Liam came back.

He changed his shoes and immediately saw me sitting on the sofa in the dark. "Why are you acting strangely in the middle of the day? What's the matter now?"

Ignoring his impatience, I raised my head and looked at him calmly. "Liam, let's break up."

"Divya, what are you doing being unreasonable?" He took a few steps toward me, trying to grab the phone from my hand. "We're about to get married. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

I dodged to the side, shoving the screenshot I had taken in front of him.

The impatience on his face froze the moment he saw the words on the screen.

But soon, he regained his aloof demeanor, not even changing his tone, "You're digging up my previous updates and making a big deal out of them. What's the point?"

What was the point?

I withdrew my phone and told him clearly, "Liam, I'm not marrying you."

His expression finally darkened.

Perhaps my gaze was calm enough to make him realize I wasn't joking.

We stared at each other for a long time.

In the end, he didn't say another word, just coldly said "It's up to you", then turned around and slammed the door and left.

After the resounding bang, silence returned to the house.

I slowly got up, walked into the kitchen, and laid out the steak and vegetables I'd prepared for the anniversary.

With a sizzle, the steak hit the hot pan, its aroma spreading through the air.

After seven years of my youth being wasted, I had to have a good meal to celebrate my new beginning.
