Married to a Man Who Loved My Stepsister

On the day of my wedding, the man I had dated for ten years, Benny Gruce—my childhood sweetheart—eloped.

Not long after, he posted on social media, proudly announcing that he had proposed to Selena Baker—my father’s illegitimate daughter—and she had said yes.

Meanwhile, Justin Rogers, the heir of the esteemed Rogers Family and someone the world believed to be cold and detached, knelt before me in public, begging me to find a new groom.

Three years into our marriage, he treated me with unwavering gentleness and indulgence.
