Tonight was supposed to be a fairytale. In a glittering ballroom, surrounded by everyone we love, I was about to celebrate my engagement to Max Quinn, my boyfriend of five years. I was floating, dreaming of the happily-ever-after we would build. But fairytales don't have plot twists like this. I find a positive pregnancy test, the attached report confirming she's eight weeks along, with Max's name listed as the emergency contact. And the mother-to-be is the shy designer Max affectionately calls his "little sister," Belinda White, the one he swore I had nothing to worry about. My fairytale has been a lie from page one. In front of everyone who comes to celebrate our love, I raise a toast with her pregnancy report. I expose their dirty secret, drop the ring, and turn my back on him. They think I'm broken, but they have no idea what a woman scorned is capable of.
