âShall we try on the wedding dress? Any necessary alterations can be made within a week to ensure no delay for your special day.
â
As Vanessa stood and approached the dress, Laura couldnât help but notice Edwinâs silence throughout the entire ordeal.
He had merely sat there, passively allowing Vanessa to assert her dominance.
With a light smile, she remarked, âThis dress doesnât quite seem right for me.
Itâs more suited for a dreamy young girl.
Laura, itâs almost as if you designed it imagining yourself as Mr.
Evansâ bride.
â
Not stopping there, Vanessa took the dress from the hanger and held it up against Laura, a clear act of humiliation.
Laura, struggling to contain her anger, said, âIf you are not satisfied with the dress, Miss Smith, youâre welcome to cancel the order.
â
Vanessa softly retorted, âI want it remade.
â
That was when Edwin finally interjected, his tone icy, âEnough!
Cancel the order.
Iâll cover any losses to the studio.
â
He walked over, took the wedding dress, and threw it into the trash can.
In his mind, the dress represented unshed tears and heartache for Laura.
Discarding it seemed to offer him a strange sense of relief.
Laura stood there, stunned by the unfolding events.
Edwinâs gaze lingered on Laura for a moment before he sternly addressed Vanessa, âLetâs go!â
Vanessa, managing to hold her anger in check until they were outside, finally unleashed it.
âWhat was that, Edwin? You react like that just because I said something about her? How do you think I feel watching you flirt with her? Remember, I am your future wife.
â
Edwin, unfazed, lit a cigarette and took a slow drag, his eyes coldly fixed on Vanessa.

âYou are nothing to me, Vanessa.
We could have had a cooperative relationship if you had behaved.
But bullying her just because weâre partners? To think that I care about you that much is purely delusional.
â
He paused, his voice firm.
âItâs over.
Thereâs not going to be any wedding.
With that, he opened his car door and got in.
Vanessa, shocked and incredulous, hurried to his car.
But Edwin didnât look at her.
âI owe Laura an apology,â he said softly.
