He Dressed His First Love in My Designer Gown

Synopsis

Ten minutes before the charity gala began, I got a call from my secretary as I stood outside the hotel. Her voice was low. My secretary said, "Ms. Hughes, someone's already taken your seat." I figured the organizers had made a last-minute change, and I was about to ask when she went on. "And that couture gown you left in the brand's care? Ms. Grant is wearing it." Outside the car window, the red carpet at the hotel entrance was still gleaming. I gripped my phone, watching the guest list for tonight scrolling across the big screen at the entrance. Claire Hughes. Chairman of the Hughes Foundation. Wife of Andrew Lane, Executive Director of Lane Holdings. Tonight, every one of those identities should have belonged to me.
