Cancel The Bride, Keep The Wedding

Synopsis

The day before our wedding, James confessed he'd cheated. He came home with a hickey on his neck, pushed a share transfer agreement toward me, and spoke with the calm detachment of a man closing a deal. He said, "Emily Hart is back. "Our wedding's off. "Consider this compensation." For seven years, I had stood by him through his poorest days, helped him build NovaTech piece by piece, and watched him go from a shabby office in an old industrial park to where he is now. But in the end, he thought 20% of the shares and a house were enough to buy out my seven years with him. I smashed his computer, tore up his proposal, and made such a mess that my hands trembled with rage. But he just frowned at me. "Olivia, don't make this ugly," he said. In the end, I signed the agreement. But just as he turned to leave with the agreement, the wedding planner called me, her voice cautious. "Ms. Grant, Mr. Sterling says the ceremony is still on for tomorrow, but the bride's name needs to be changed to Ms. Hart. Should we keep our story straight on this?" It turned out the only thing that got canceled was me.
