On the Day He Proposed, His First Love Returned to Crash the Wedding

My boyfriend, who I’ve known since childhood, just came back to the country. After five years with Zachary, he finally proposed to me. But instead of the proposal ceremony I had been dreaming of, it turned into a welcome party for another girl. She was wearing the diamond ring designed by my favorite designer, which had been stored up at home for over a month. Later, Zachary got down on one knee, begging me to take him back, holding out an even bigger, shinier diamond ring. The guy next to me pulled me close, deliberately stepping on Zachary’s foot, and flaunted his own engagement ring: “Wow, this ring is stunning. My wife designed it herself.”
