In the seventh year of being with Oliver Carter, I discovered he had fallen for the girl I was sponsoring. That day, he went mad, smashing our future home, and stood in the living room all night. The next day, he red-eyed and sent the girl away. Later, he suggested we start anew. On the day I tried on the wedding dress, a little boy burst in, crying loudly. "Dad, help me! I don't want to be sold to the countryside! I don't want an old bachelor as my dad!" I looked at the dirty wedding dress, expressionless. "If you walk out that door today, we're done." He muttered an apology but walked away without looking back.
