My name was Emelia Harper, heiress of the Harper Group in Prizatburg. It was my wedding day. I was wearing a custom-made wedding dress worth one million dollars. I sat in a wedding car adorned with thousands of imported roses, holding a lily bouquet that my father had specially flown in from Nethaland. My fiancé was Steven Winston, heir to the Winston Group. We grew up together, and our families are perfectly matched. In everyone's eyes, we're the golden couple. At this moment, the wedding car was parked at the end of the red carpet. I'd been waiting for thirty whole minutes, and Steven was nowhere to be seen. "Ms. Harper," my bridesmaid, Della Dunn, said, her voice trembling, "I still can't reach Mr. Winston." I lifted my veil, showing off my three-hour bridal makeup. "Keep trying." Della said, "I've already tried over fifty times." "Then try for the fifty-first time." My voice was so calm that it sent a chill down Della's spine. She didn't know that I already had a hunch. Last night, I got an anonymous text with just one photo: Steven at the airport, holding a woman in his arms. That woman was the one he could never forget, Alyssa Bennett.
