When Love Burns Out, She Walks Away

Synopsis

The crystal chandelier at the Rivers residence had been on all night. The gold-trimmed light fixtures cast a glow on Evelyn Lane's smiling face in the wedding photo, but it couldn't chase away the bone-chilling cold in the matrimonial home. Evelyn's custom-made wedding dress still carried the lingering warmth from the wedding. On her ring finger was the Rivers family's heirloom, a pigeon blood ruby ring, the one Charles Rivers had kissed and promised, "You're my one and only, forever and always," in front of three hundred guests. Evelyn had been waiting alone in the matrimonial home since the end of the wedding until dawn for twelve hours, but the groom never returned. When the clock struck six in the morning, it crushed the last shred of hope she had. Her phone screen flashed with a blinding trending topic with hashtags: [Charles Rivers, CEO of Rivers Group, returns with his first love, Vivian Summers].
