I looked at the ring and sighed. I just broke up with my girlfriend of 8 years last month because she cheated on me with one of my friends from highschool. Apparently they both already have an affair for 3 years and I never even once got suspicious that she cheated on me.

I was going to propose to her on her birthday which is in 2 weeks but she told me everything and ended the relationship. I thought she was the one, I thought she's going to be my wife and the mother of my kids.

I stood up straight and threw the ring to the ocean.

My phone rang and I took it out of my pocket. I pressed the green button right away since it's my dad.

"Hello." I answered as I made my way back to my car.

"Where are you? Jack told me that you didn't come to the restaurant today." He asked in a worried tone.

"I'm going there now, why?"

"I just want to talk to you but I'm already on my way back home."

"I'll go there then, I'll see you in 20 minutes." I said as I opened my car door and got inside.

"Okay." He ended the call and I drove toward my parents house. I tried not to think about my ex anymore because I don't think it's worth it to think about her. I mean I'm still sad but I need to get over it fast.

When I arrived in front of my parents house, their butlers greeted me and I gave them a polite nod before entering the house. I saw my dad sitting on the living room reading something on his iPad.

"Hello son, come and sit here." He said as he put his iPad away and took off his glasses.
