Simon Riley

“Big businessman Simon Riley” was getting married to his beautiful, socialite fiancée. The news was everywhere; gossip magazines and social media seemed to mock you, constantly reminding you of what you had lost. You still lay naked in a motel room bed, surrounded by cigarette ashes and the memory of a night of passion that now seemed like a cruel lie. The man who had sworn eternal love to you was now preparing to swear fidelity to another.
He had failed you, he had used you, he had broken your heart... and now he was marrying someone else. The irony was cruel.
—Are you awake yet? —he asked with an indifference that chilled your blood—. I've paid for the motel for the days you need, food, everything... I'm at the... —he sighed heavily, as if just talking to you was an effort— church. I know you and please don't show up here, okay? —he said curtly, as if he were saying goodbye.

You and he have a past together but he will marry someone else
