He fell for me in the game

chapter 1

Today was my fifth anniversary with Simon, and his idealized first love, Lydia, suffering from depression, called again.

Her voice was soft and sweet, as if it held a magic, easily stirring up deep memories and emotions within Simon.

"That ocean view we saw before, it was so beautiful. Will you remember Lydia in the future, Simon?"

Simon's hand, which had been fiddling with his hair, froze. His voice trembled slightly, "Lydia, what are you saying? Simon really likes you."

"I'll come pick you up. Shall we go to your favorite seafood restaurant for crab, okay?"

Simon's voice carried a tension others might not have noticed. I watched him turn away without hesitation.

My phone smashed onto the floor. Simon heard the sound and turned back, looking apologetic.

He rushed over to me and knelt down. "Baby, I'm so sorry. I'll make up our anniversary to you another day."

"You've always been an understanding girl. Lydia has been by my side all this time."

"I can't just leave her alone."

I looked at his almost pleading eyes, slowly, imperceptibly, I loosened my grip on his sleeve, though my heart was screaming. Still, I couldn't help but demand, "If you walk out that door today, we might really be over. Don't you care?"

"Even if her leg can't dance anymore because of you, it's been so many years. Whatever you owed should have been paid back long ago."

Simon's eyes hardened instantly, sharp as a blade. "Hilary, stop being unreasonable. You shouldn't be so jealous." My vision blurred as his figure shrank, disappearing into the distance.

Lydia was his untouchable. No one could mention her, no one could touch her.

His words from when he was deeply in love still echoed in my ears, "You'll always be my first choice. I'll never let you be sad."

Simon, you broke your promise.
