The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Corrine Holland, once the cherished heiress of a powerful family, stands moments away from marrying Bruce Ashton—the man she had loved fiercely and supported for years, even when his family had fallen from grace. Despite her family's disapproval of their union, Corrine believed this wedding marked the beginning of their happily ever after.

But on the day of their wedding, disaster strikes.

Just as the ceremony begins, Bruce’s younger sister bursts into the church, crying out that Leah Burgess—Bruce’s ex-lover who had recently returned—has been hit by a car while saving him. Hearing that Leah’s life hangs by a thread, Bruce drops everything, tears his hand from Corrine’s grip, and runs to Leah’s side—abandoning Corrine at the altar.

Corrine pleads with him to stay, to at least finish the ceremony, but Bruce coldly dismisses her. His words shatter her world:

“This marriage is merely a transaction. You're only meant to be Mrs. Ashton in name. Don’t interfere in my personal matters.”

Humiliated and heartbroken in front of hundreds of guests, Corrine realizes that their love had meant nothing to him—it had all been a calculated business deal. Her years of loyalty, sacrifices, and genuine love were tossed aside for a woman who had once left Bruce in pursuit of her own ambitions.

Crushed but not defeated, Corrine walks away from the wreckage of her wedding with her head held high.
