A Mask at the Wedding
At the wedding, I recognized at a glance that the masked man standing before me, Howard Larson, was an impostor.
Despite this, I went through with the ceremony as though nothing were amiss.
In my previous life, I exposed the fake groom in front of everyone. Left with no choice, Howard reluctantly returned and completed the wedding with me.
That very night, his childhood sweetheart swallowed sleeping pills and jumped from a building, taking her own life.
When my fiancé heard the news, he showed no hint of sadness. Instead, he cursed her, saying she deserved to die.
After the wedding, Howard and I seemed as loving as ever. I even used my family's money to pull his company back from the brink of collapse.
However, on our first wedding anniversary, my husband personally bound me to a helicopter while I was pregnant.
There was no warmth left in his eyes.
"If you hadn't forced me to come back and marry you that day, Joyce would still be alive.”
"Why should you get to live so happily? I want you to feel the pain she felt when she died."
He shoved me from an altitude of ten thousand meters. I was utterly destroyed.
This time, I pretended not to notice the deception and completed the wedding with the fake groom.
I wanted to see for myself how, without the Smith family's support, he intended to save the already crumbling Larson Group.
