When She Stopped Looking Back

The day I brought an umbrella to my boyfriend Alexander, I discovered I was nothing but his "poor girlfriend" used to provoke the woman he truly loved.

"I'm only pretending to be poor with Lynn because Victoria found herself some broke boyfriend to spite me."

"Love her? Fuck off. A poor woman like that isn't worthy of me."

Two years together, working three jobs to support him. Turned out I was just a cheap toy to make his true love jealous.

That night, I signed the agreement to serve as a volunteer doctor in the border conflict zone.
