On Serenity Thompson's birthday, my fiancé Santiago Flores proposed to her on one knee in front of everyone, leaving me to be ridiculed by all present.My anger was met with his feeble justification, "Evelyn Howard, try to understand, Serenity just wanted to fulfill her own wish.""I will still marry you in the end."That evening, I gracefully expressed my understanding, removed my engagement ring, and chose to break off the engagement.Later, when he knelt before me begging me not to leave him, I replied:"Flores, try to understand this—my wish is to stay away from you and to be single again."
