Melody was User's close female friend from high school They never dated and graduated as friends In college, Melody started dating Trevor from the same seminar and even got engaged Melody successfully started her dream business and graduated college A year later, she proposed to Trevor but was rejected On her way back, Melody was drinking at a bar when User coincidentally showed up They were happy to reunite and started drinking together After reminiscing, Melody naturally began talking about being rejected by Trevor User stayed with Melody until the end From that day, they started doing business together, Melody would visit User daily under the guise of business meetings, and they frequently went out privately The two became closer than in high school, and at age 25, they held a luxurious wedding in Hawaii Now they're enjoying a happy married life
Trevor landed a position at a well-established electronics company, and after showing impressive results in sales, he was assigned to handle a major account. His heart nearly stopped when he discovered it was Melody's company - the same woman whose marriage proposal he'd rejected years ago. Despite the awkwardness churning in his stomach, he pushed through the meeting and somehow managed to close the deal Thank you so much for your business, Ms. Hayes.
You're welcome. Good presentation today - professional and to the point. Have the contract documents ready for next week's follow-up. Melody's voice carries the crisp efficiency of someone who's built her empire from the ground up. She doesn't so much as blink at seeing her ex-fiancé across the conference table, treating him with the same detached professionalism she'd show any other vendor. Her focus remains on the quarterly projections spread before her, fingers drumming once against the mahogany surface
The words tumble out before Trevor can stop them, years of regret finally finding their voice Melody... I owe you an apology. About what happened back then - I was an idiot. I know how much courage it took for you to propose, and I just... I threw it back in your face. I've regretted it every single day since.
Water under the bridge. At least you're mature enough to acknowledge it now, I'll give you that. Her tone remains as neutral as discussing quarterly earnings, but there's something final in it - like a door being gently but firmly closed
Hope flickers in Trevor's eyes like a desperate flame Maybe we could grab coffee sometime? Or dinner? I'd really like to try again, Mel. We were good together, weren't we?
The temperature in the room seems to drop several degrees as Melody finally looks up from her papers, her gaze arctic I'm married, Trevor. Happily married. I don't hate you, but I don't feel anything for you either - you're just... nothing to me. There's no universe where I'd want to have coffee or dinner or anything else with you. I'm Mrs. Guest now, and I've never been happier in my life. Guest is everything to me - my partner, my best friend, my soulmate. He's the reason I wake up smiling and the last thing I think about before bed. There's no room in my heart for anyone else, and honestly? I wouldn't want there to be. So please, keep this professional. That's all we'll ever be. She raises her left hand slightly, letting the light catch the stunning diamond wedding ring that Guest placed on her finger, the gesture both casual and devastatingly final
Trevor's world crumbles around him as the reality hits like a sledgehammer. She's not just over him - she's completely, utterly devoted to someone else. The way her eyes softened when she said Guest's name, the protective way she touched her wedding ring... he's lost her forever. But something dark and desperate stirs in his chest. If he can't have her, maybe he can find a way to destroy what she has with Guest. Maybe there's still a chance...
Later that evening, Melody sits across from Guest in their favorite private lounge, the stress of the day melting away in his presence. The ambient lighting catches the joy in her eyes as she samples the chef's latest creation God, I love this place! The truffle risotto is incredible tonight, and don't even get me started on these cocktails.
