Cold Hearted

The game of jealousy

After the camp, Jacob went home and decided to share his newfound love with his father, Bill, a wealthy and successful businessman. Jacob expressed his feelings about Kate, whom he found to be a good and beautiful woman. Bill, supportive of his son's emotions, advised him to inquire about Kate's background and promised to meet her family in the future.

Meanwhile, Kate and Ryan, deeply in love, spent quality time in the park discussing their future. They were confident that their families would accept their relationship, and Ryan, expressing his insecurities, asked Kate not to leave him for someone else. Kate reassured him of her commitment, and they shared a loving moment.

However, little did they know that a storm was brewing. Kate returned home to unexpected guests, Bill and Alice, Jacob's parents. They had come to propose marriage between Jacob and Kate. Kate's parents were already discussing the potential union. Kate, shocked by the revelation, was taken aback by her parents' unexpected decision.

As the meeting proceeded, Kate's parents seemed to be impressed by Bill and Alice. Still, Kate was emotionally distraught, having envisioned a future with Ryan. Her mother pressured her to accept the proposal, emphasizing the financial stability and good nature of Jacob. Kate, torn between her love for Ryan and her parents' wishes, felt helpless.

Later, in a private conversation with her mother, Kate revealed that she was already in a relationship with Ryan. Despite this, her mother insisted that Jacob was a better match and pressured Kate not to bring shame to the family.

Heartbroken, Kate planned to meet Jacob to address the situation. However, Jacob misinterpreted her intention and believed she was accepting his proposal. In their meeting, Kate explained her love for Ryan, but Jacob, unwilling to accept the rejection, declared that she belonged to him and arranged for their marriage.

As the wedding date was fixed, Kate was restricted from going out, and her phone was confiscated. Ryan, concerned about her sudden change in behavior, tried reaching out but was confronted by Kate's father, who informed him about the impending marriage. Unable to change the circumstances, Ryan wrote a heartfelt letter expressing his wishes for Kate's happiness and delivered it through Wanda.

In letter it says,

My Dearest Kate,

I trust this letter finds you well, though I can't help but wish I were there with you to ensure it. In these lines, my heart pours out with the sincerity of emotions that words can hardly capture.

The days without hearing your voice have been heavy, each moment an echo of your absence. I find myself yearning for the sound of your laughter and the warmth of your presence. I want you to know that not a single day goes by without you crossing my thoughts.

As I pen down these words, an ache resonates within me, for distance has carved a void that mere words struggle to fill. Your absence is deeply felt, and the longing to be near you is an unwavering companion. I miss our conversations, the shared laughter, and the simple joy of being close.

Yet, my dearest Kate, despite the melancholy that envelopes me, I want nothing more than to see you happy, wherever life may lead you. Your happiness means the world to me, even if it means facing the unbearable truth that our paths may not intertwine as we once dreamt.

Please, my love, don't carry the weight of my absence too heavily in your heart. Your happiness is my solace, and I find peace in the hope that your days will be filled with joy and laughter. As I miss you, I implore you not to miss me too much, for your well-being is my utmost priority.

In each prayer whispered in the quiet moments, I ask for the universe to weave the best days into the tapestry of your life. May you find serenity and love in every step you take, and may the future unfold with grace and kindness.

Until our paths cross again, know that you reside in the deepest chambers of my heart. Be well, my dearest Kate, and may the days ahead be painted with the colors of happiness and fulfillment.

With a heart full of love,

Ryan

Ryan hoped for Kate's well-being, expressing how much he missed her and wished her the best in the future. Kate, touched by the letter, couldn't find the words to respond. Wanda, serving as the messenger, conveyed Kate's request for Ryan to attend her wedding, which left both Wanda and Ryan saddened.

Despite his inner turmoil, Ryan, with a forced smile, agreed to attend the wedding, hiding the pain of losing his love. Wanda, in an attempt to comfort him, assured Ryan that everything would be fine. However, Ryan, overcome with grief, broke down and cried helplessly, unable to fathom the reality of losing the one he loved.
