She Became Glamorous After Engagement Annulment Novels & Stories

The air in the Parisian haute couture salon smelled like money and fear. I’d waited six months for my wedding dress. Now, it was draped over the shoulders of Sofia Ross—the trending influencer, and my mafia fiancé Vincent Cassio’s god-sister. The salon manager was sweating bullets, his eyes darting between me and the man lounging on the velvet sofa.

“Why do you get to have it all? You– If it weren’t for you, Greg would never have abandoned me!” By now, her reputation was ruined. Her family had disowned her, and she was no longer the proud heiress she once was. The last I’d heard of her, she had become a mistress for money, only to be violently thrown out by the wife once she was discovered. Julian had the security escort her out and made it clear she was not to appear in the city again. After the wedding, Julian truly spoiled me. Whenever he could, he took me traveling around the world. We watched sunrises by the sea, the first rays turning the water golden.

Thom again. “They’re planning the menu. Birthday roast. Fireworks. Big announcement.” “I heard.” “You’re not going to fight?” She looked up. “What would I be fighting for? A man who let another woman wear the flower I nearly died for?” Silence. “Then what now?” Sepharine stood. “Now I choose myself.” --- In her room, she drafted a letter. > To Lady Walfson, > > I respectfully request the engagement be dissolved. Lord Draven is restored. I am no longer needed.

She was abandoned by everyone close to her and left with nothing. This was the price of her foolishness and arrogance. A year later, Galaxy Tech successfully became a listed company in Amoria. Countless celebrities attended the celebration banquet. Under flashing lights from the media, I went down on one knee and retrieved the ring I had prepared long ago. "Melissa, will you marry me?" I asked. Her eyes filled with tears as she nodded firmly. "Yes." I slipped the ring onto her finger and kissed her amid thunderous applause. That scene was broadcast live by a financial news outlet.

Her company name was right there, and so was her face, captured in one of those smug, self-satisfied poses she loved so much. It was surreal. I couldn’t believe it. The same woman who had strutted into my engagement party as if she were untouchable, as if she had the world eating out of her palm, was now being publicly dragged through the mud. The woman who had stood in front of me that night, chin held high, confidence radiating from every pore, was now nothing more than another scandalous headline.

He apologized for keeping a few guests, but still, nearly half of the guests left. A peaceful party, they hadn't even started a few minutes before it descended into chaos. Each person has a different thought. Venn walked into the flower garden with a cold breath, he stood directly on the stage, took the microphone, he looked at the guests below the stage, his voice was low without hesitation, and spoke. “Today I - Venn Griselda - announce in front of everyone that I officially annul my engagement with Karlina Vontroe, moreover all the properties under my name will also cut off cooperation with Vontroe's house forever.”

I worriedly asked as I sensed sadness as she spoke. “Yes, I am. But my relationship with Brandon isn’t.” She answered, lowering her head. “Are you serious?” I sat up and moved even closer to her. “What happened?” I asked, my gaze falling on her fingers, and then I realized she didn’t have her engagement ring on. “Where’s your engagement ring?” I asked in shock. “I returned it.” “What?” “I did on the day of the coronation.” “Why would you do that?” “Because after what happened with Kendall, I believed I wasn't ready to be involved with someone else. It all seemed so rushed and forced.” She explained and I furrowed my brows.

It hugs her curves in all the right places, accentuating her beauty in a way that is impossible to ignore. I notice that she is wearing makeup, a rarity for her. Her features are subtly enhanced, bringing out the natural beauty that has always captivated me. Her hair is styled in loose waves that cascade down her back, adding to her allure. It's a stark difference from the subdued and almost lifeless appearance she had taken to wearing after she married Damon. I can't help but wonder what has changed. Is she trying to impress us at the meeting? Or is there something more to this sudden transformation?

The crowd erupted in whispers and gasps. And I felt my blood pressure spike. The woman walking onto the stage was someone I recognized. Someone I'd hoped never to see again. Four years had changed her. I didn't know how she had escaped from prison and become a wealthy heiress. Though it was clearly the same person, she seemed different. Her hair was styled with bangs and an updo, professionally done and perfectly coiffed. Her makeup was thick but expertly applied, emphasizing her cheekbones and making her eyes appear larger and more dramatic.
