The other guy found out the guy told his friends it was just a fling and then ran off abroad. But the guy thought the other guy was playing him, so he bankrupted his dad's company, imprisoned his mom, forced the other guy to come find him, and finally locked him in a basement for two years. The third one was quite angsty at the beginning, but then it was about the guy chasing after his girlfriend, and it ended happily. The rest were all angst novels that I used to think were really good, but I don't remember the plots very well, but they were definitely angsty. I just can't stand the tear-jerking parts in angst novels, but I still can't help but read them, typical of someone who's bad at reading but still enjoys playing around.
