Before the Vows, After the Truth

Synopsis

"Three years ago, Alexander Ford, the crown prince of Harbor City, found me washed up on his private beach." He gave me the name Lily Quinn and told me I was a mermaid the ocean had sent him. He spoiled me rotten until I couldn't survive without him, took me to see the Northern Lights and go skiing, and dropped a fortune at auction to win a sapphire that symbolized "eternal love." He proposed to me on that same beach and swore an oath to the sea: "If I, Alexander Ford, ever betray you, may I lose the one I love most and die alone." The night before our wedding, I accidentally hit my head and got all my memories back. I planned to surprise him after the ceremony, but during the ring exchange, I watched his face change completely over a single phone call from another woman. His eyes held a panic and a coldness I had never seen before. "Lily, the wedding is postponed." I watched him walk away without looking back, and a sharp pain twisted through my chest. But it was fine. My memories were back now, and I was no longer the helpless girl who needed Alexander Ford to survive.
