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?

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.”

She trembled, tears ruining her carefully applied makeup. The man she had loved for three years, disregarding her dignity, had chosen another woman without a second thought on their big day. He was consumed with thoughts of Kaelyn’s distress but seemed indifferent to how lost and humiliated Elyse felt, left alone at the altar. All around her, countless eyes watched—some mocking, some
