You Broke Your Vows, So I Replaced You
“If you don’t come back within thirty minutes, I’ll replace my groom, Jackson.”
On the other end of the call, Jackson Langham only laughed.
To him, Ava Celeste’s threat sounded ridiculous. After all, for the past seven years, Ava had always stayed. Always forgiven him. Always waited for him.
Jackson was far too certain that she would never leave.
But that day was different.
Standing in the middle of a luxurious ballroom filled with conglomerate families, Manhattan media, and elite guests, Ava finally realized one bitter truth: she had never truly been Jackson’s priority. Not even on their wedding day. Even then, he still chose to leave with another woman.
And for the first time after seven years of loving someone unconditionally, Ava stopped waiting.
Just as everyone assumed the wedding would end as the biggest scandal in Langham family history, a man suddenly stepped forward and extended his hand toward Ava in front of the entire ballroom.
Maverick Langham.
Jackson’s uncle.
The cold, rigid man who had always remained in the shadows of the Langham family.
“I may not be able to give you love,” he said quietly, his deep voice steady amidst the chaos surrounding them, “but at least I can save your dignity today. So… will you marry me?”
Without hesitation, Ava said yes.
That impulsive decision changed everything.
In a single night, Ava went from being Jackson’s future wife to becoming his aunt instead.
Jackson was forced to watch the woman he had neglected for years slowly fall into another man’s arms.
Jackson had every intention of winning Ava back.
And he had no plans to let her go so easily.
But could he really do it… now that Ava had finally discovered what true love actually meant?
