After 52 Broken Promises, I Finally Let Go novel Chapter 1

That day marked the 52nd wedding ceremony between Damien Thornwell and me. This time, I invited no one—only our families gathered to witness it.

Although I was suffering from a fever, I forced myself to go over the final arrangements with the wedding planner, who barely spared me a glance.

In the groom's dressing room, Damien was busy massaging Astrid Monroe's leg. She was an intern who had rushed over after spraining her ankle.

My parents shook their heads at the scene before them, clearly heartbroken for me.

"After everything you've endured, has he ever once shown that he truly cares about you?"

Everyone knew how much this day meant to me and how badly I wanted it to be perfect. Yet, just moments before the ceremony was to begin, Damien called it off once again.

I hurried to leave, but he grabbed me firmly, halting me in my tracks. He said, "Astrid's leg isn't improving. I need to take her to the hospital.

"Looks like today's ceremony will have to be called off again. Next time, I promise I won't back out at the last minute."

Without waiting for my reply, he stepped back and helped Astrid into the front seat of his car.

After five years together, this was the 52nd time Damien had called off our wedding because of Astrid.
