Before my wedding to Sophie Bennett, the impoverished student I've been sponsoring for ten years posts a photo on social media. "Successfully moved into the new apartment. Soph prepared such a big, soft bed for me!" In the photo, Zachary Wells lies sprawled on the wedding bed I bought for Sophie and my new home, taking a smug selfie with his hand waving at the camera. He's even wearing my wedding ring on his ring finger. Zachary also comments on his own post, "Just thinking about how I'm the first man to lie on this bed fills me with overwhelming happiness!" I reply with a question mark under his comment. The next second, Sophie's call comes through. "I'm just letting Zach experience the warmth of home. Why are you being so passive-aggressive?"

The two of us have been together for ten years, from ages 18 to 28, and we've finally made it to our wedding day. But now, I no longer intend to go through with it.

Von ihrem Vater verstoßen und von ihrer Stiefmutter schikaniert, sah Sophie Tanner nur einen Ausweg: Sie drang in die Villa des mächtigen Magnaten von Königsberg, Maximilian von Berg, ein und forderte ihn zur Heirat. Am Tag der Hochzeit entdeckte Maximilian, dass Sophie keine Jungfrau mehr war. Er war überzeugt, sie führe ein zügelloses Leben und sei moralisch verdorben. Nach zehn Monaten brachte Sophie ihr Kind zur Welt, willigte in die Scheidung ein, verließ das Haus ohne einen Cent. Sie verschwand spurlos. Jahre später kehrte Sophie nach Königsberg zurück – an ihrer Seite ein Kind. „Herr von Berg, ich habe gehört, Sie suchen einen Privatarzt?“ Maximilian tappte bereitwillig in die Falle: „Sie sind eingestellt.“ Gerüchte machten die Runde: Herr von Berg hatte keine Ehefrau und brauchte keine Geliebte – stattdessen umsorgte er seine Privatärztin wie einen Schatz. Ihr Kind, dessen Vater unbekannt war, behandelte er wie sein eigenes.
