He Called Me Clingy, Then Begged Me to Stay

Emma Hayes spent her life loving Adrian Black, the cold heir to a ruthless mafia empire. She texted him every joy, every fear, every ordinary piece of her heart, and he called it harassment. The night before their wedding, Emma learns he reported her to the police while answering every message from his secretary. Humiliated and finally awake, she cancels the wedding and disappears. Adrian thinks she is throwing another tantrum—until the empty altar, blocked calls, and another man force him to understand what he lost. He begged too late; the girl who waited was already gone for good forever.
