Playing The Victim Paid Off So Well

Synopsis

It was my engagement party. My fiancé, Charles Jennings's so-called girl-bro, Sophie Grant, dumped an entire glass of red wine all over my custom-made white dress. Sophie had a cigarette dangling from her lips, grinning like some punk. She said, "Oops, my hand slipped. "Don't be upset, Lila. Want me to lick it clean for you?" I stared at her and smiled. The next second, I executed a flawless fall, landing right in the arms of the man in the corner. He was Charles's archenemy, Lucas Sterling. I looked up at him, tears glistening in my eyes, my voice shaky as a leaf caught in the breeze. I said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have upset her."
