Chapter 1:

At the wedding, Elyse Lloyd was in a panic as she grabbed Theo Ward’s wrist to stop him from leaving, her eyes filling with pleading. The venue was filled with the family and friends of both parties, all seated and waiting. The officiant had posed the question to Theo about his willingness to marry Elyse. Instead of replying, he ignored the officiant, answered his phone, and then abruptly attempted to leave.

“Kaelyn knows about our wedding and now she’s threatening to jump off a building. You are aware of her depression, aren’t you? I have to go save her,” Theo explained impatiently and pushed Elyse aside. The push caused Elyse to sprain her ankle, and as she fell to the floor, she awkwardly stretched out her hand, trying to hold him back.

“Today is our wedding day! What am I supposed to do if you leave? Kaelyn Bennett totally stabbed you in the back before. She’s caused you so much pain—why the heck must you go see her right now?”

Theo’s gaze turned even colder. “You’re not in a position to judge what happened between me and Kaelyn. No matter her wrongs or the pain she caused, you don’t measure up to her.”

A pain struck Elyse’s heart. She realized that he had never truly forgotten Kaelyn. To him, she would never be as significant as Kaelyn was. “What did I do to deserve this? Why are you treating me this way? Please, just wait until the wedding is over. We’re almost at the point of exchanging rings. You can leave after that. Are you really prioritizing a wedding over a person’s life? You’re so heartless. Let’s reschedule the wedding.”
