I died on the day I was supposed to marry Ryan Wolfe. When I didn’t show up on time, he angrily married his childhood sweetheart, Lorelei Floyd, instead, and publicly announced, “Alexis Harding cheated before our wedding and called it off herself!” The rumors crushed my mother, and she died from a heart attack right then and there. But Ryan seemed to have forgotten that he, in a fit of rage to defend Lorelei, slashed my arm and locked me in a basement for ten whole days. I begged him and pleaded for mercy, but all I got was his cold reply. “You’ll stay here for a while, so you can fully understand the pain you caused Lorelei. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll rid you of your wicked thoughts.” When he found my corpse, ravaged by maggots, he lost his mind.

"Pakakasalan Kita," walang emosyong mababakas sa boses nito. Sa tono nito ay hindi nagtatanong kundi nagsasabi lang na para bang utang na loob niya pa at dapat siyang matuwa. Napatigil siya sa pag-iyak. Marahas na nag-angat siya ng tingin dito. Nababaliw na ito kung iniisip nitong papayag siya sa gusto nitong mangyari. Hindi sa lalaking bumaboy sa kanya. Mapait siyang natawa "Hinding hindi ako magpapakasal sa demonyong katulad mo!" Puno ng pagkamuhi na sigaw niya dito. Ngunit wala siyang nagawa ng kaladkarin siya nito papunta sa isang judge para magpakasal. At mas lalong wala siyang nagawa ng unti-unting nahulog ang loob niya dito at matutunan itong mahalin sa kabila ng mga nangyari.

I was about to marry my boyfriend of seven years, Edward Carter. However, he was secretly getting a marriage certificate with his first love. In a moment of panic and disbelief, I confronted him: "Edward, what do I even mean to you?" Edward grabbed me as I tried to walk away, his eyes filled with helplessness: "Jennifer, you know Chloe is my first love. She only has two months left to live. I just don't want her to leave with regrets." "The woman who will be my last wife, though, is you." It was laughable. He felt sorry for his first love—did that mean I had to suffer? I saw the mocking look Chloe Smith shot my way. Then, to make things worse, Edward actually suggested I let Chloe take my place in the wedding. That was the last straw. After seven years of love, I did not want it anymore. I called my brother, "Hey, the wedding is in ten days. Can you find me a new groom?"
