I was set to marry Ethan Prescott, poised to join one of Connecticut's most prominent families. A life of privilege, love, and security stretched before me. Then, the woman he introduced as his 'childhood companion,' Sophia Hayes, slithered into our lives. Overnight, I became an 'inconvenience.' They framed me for a diamond theft I never committed, and Ethan, without a moment's hesitation, cast me out of his life, leaving me with nothing but the clothes on my back. He froze every one of my accounts, shattered my late mother's cherished music box-my last tangible memory of her-and exiled me to a forgotten town in Maine. He waited for me to break. My world collapsed into utter despair. I watched my beloved rescue dog, Buster, succumb to illness because I couldn't afford a vet, all thanks to Ethan's ruthless abandonment. His calculated cruelty was beyond comprehension. How could the man who promised me forever inflict such devastating, soul-crushing wounds, expecting me to vanish quietly? My spirit was fractured, but not broken. Against all odds, I rebuilt my life, brick by painful brick. I found love, success, and a quiet strength. Now, the man who gleefully watched my world burn is about to get the shock of his life. Because the wife he discarded has not only thrived beyond his wildest imagination, but her new husband is the one person he always considered 'family.' And tonight, at the Prescott family's biggest event, they're about to meet their worst nightmare.
