Halfway through our wedding, Alex Fox's beloved foster sister had allegedly been assaulted in a villa nearby. Without a second thought, he left me standing alone at the ceremony and ran to her. He carried her out, unconscious from crying. In a rage, he beat the man responsible so badly he ended up in the ICU. He held her like she was his whole world, sobbing as though his chest might split open. But the next morning, the news reported me as the victim. When I broke down and confronted him, he accused me of being selfish, He said, "Thalia, you're my wife. What's the harm in helping her? It's not gonna hurt you. "She's my sister. If the truth gets out, how could she ever marry? She's proud. If she wakes up and learns everyone knows, she'll rather die than live with it. "Do you have to be so selfish?" I refused to accept it, but he just looked at me with disgust. He said, "It's already done. The news has your name on it, and nothing you do can change that." I stared at him, numb, my heart tearing open. I wiped my tears, my voice raw. "Then we're getting a divorce."
