He Left Me in the Basement, So I Married His Enemy

On the day of our wedding, Vance told me our ceremony would be postponed for another month.

"Julia is overwhelmed by the paparazzi in Paris," he explained coldly. "I refuse to let her face it alone. Besides, your family's debt is still unpaid. We'll get married when I return."

This was the fifth time he had abandoned our wedding for his childhood friend. To ensure I wouldn't cause a scene, he locked me in his freezing basement, leaving me to miscarry our child alone in the dark while he flew off with her.
