I never asked for this life. I was in love with someone else—someone I believed I’d grow old with. But my father had other plans. He begged me to marry a man I didn’t know, Dexter Cooper, just to keep a promise he made years ago with his rich friend. When I refused, he said he would end his life. I didn’t want that on my conscience. So I agreed. Dexter didn’t want me either. He already had a girlfriend and made it clear that I wasn’t good enough for him.

When the truth emerged about the betrayal and lies, I faced a choice: fight for respect or leave to guard my heart. This is my story of pain, love, and betrayal. I didn’t choose this war, but I won’t be a victim in it.
