Abandoned Groom: Vanishing From Her World
My adoptive younger brother, Jonathan Arden, is getting married soon, so he has invited me to his wedding. It turns out that the bride is Charlotte Vaughn, my childhood sweetheart-slash-fiancee.
My parents think that I'm going to steal Charlotte from Jonathan and cause a huge ruckus at the wedding. That's why they've hired 100 bodyguards, who soon have me surrounded.
When things are getting tense, Jonathan rushes down the stage and starts pleading with me.
"Mom, Dad, I'm sure Harrison showed up without an invitation just so he can give me his blessings. Please don't blame him."
Charlotte takes my hand and says to me pleadingly, "Jonathan is diagnosed with cancer. He's afraid that you might be worried about him, so he's hidden his condition from you. I'm pretending to marry him just so he won't die single."
I express my understanding toward the couple before giving them my blessings.
Delighted, Charlotte promises me, "Don't worry, you're the only one I view as my actual husband. Once the wedding is over, we'll register our marriage right away."
What she doesn't know is that I've already booked an appointment in a fake-death program. A week later, I will leave this place for real.
After all, I don't want anything to do with my parents and Charlotte anymore.
