On my wedding day, my fiancé, Zach Sullivan, dumped me and eloped with Mia Linwood, the fake heiress, just to fulfill her birthday wish—to finally get a boyfriend. He left me at the altar, the laughingstock of everyone there. Just when I was at my lowest, Andrew Foster, the golden boy in Leyton, famous for his detachment, descended like a miracle and stood by my side, finishing the wedding ceremony with me. After we got married, Andrew treated me like I was the most precious thing in the world. The once distant and untouchable Andrew finally gave in to worldly desires, and we ended up tangled together, night after night. But then, one day, I accidentally overheard him talking with a friend. Andrew said, "Mia's birthday is coming up soon. She wants a private fireworks show this year. Make it happen. And keep Harriet out of it. I don't want her messing things up." He went on, "Marrying Harriet was just to fulfill Mia's wish. Once Mia gets everything she wants for her birthday, I'll handle the rest." At that moment, my heart broke completely. Later, while Andrew was fast asleep, I snuck over and opened his safe. It was filled with photos of Mia, and there was even a diary full of his lovesick ramblings about her. Seeing the truth laid bare, I decided right then and there to fake my own death and vanish from his world. He and I were done for good.
