On our wedding day, my fiancé, Charles Ashford, "gets lost" and arrives at his childhood best friend Chloe's house instead. Egged on by his groomsmen, he puts my ring on her finger and promises he'll give me another wedding later, as if I should be grateful. For eight years, I believed Charles was the man who saved me when I had nothing. Then I learned our entire relationship was built on guilt, lies, and his feelings for Chloe. His final betrayal costs my grandmother her life, yet he still expects me to forgive him. What Charles never knew was that the "illegitimate nobody" he mocked is the Sinclair heiress. So while he plays groom for another woman, I accept a marriage alliance with Lucas Sterling, the most powerful heir in Northbridge. By the time Charles realizes I truly became someone else's wife, regret is the only thing he has left.
