CHAPTER 1 – The Bride's Greatest Humiliation
The ballroom sparkled like something out of a fairy tale.
Crystal chandeliers bathed hundreds of guests in golden light as cameras flashed from every corner. It was supposed to be the happiest day of Emily Carter's life.
Instead...
She was on her knees.
Still wearing the elegant white wedding gown she had dreamed about since childhood, Emily trembled on the marble floor while tears rolled down her face.
Nobody dared to help her.
Her fiancé, billionaire heir Ryan Whitmore, stood frozen only a few feet away.
Across from Emily stood a mysterious woman dressed in a royal blue gown with a matching veil that covered part of her face. Her posture was calm. Powerful.
The room fell silent as the woman spoke.
"Before this wedding continues... the bride owes someone an apology."
Gasps echoed through the ballroom.
Emily looked around desperately.
"I... I don't even know who you are!"
The woman smiled faintly.
"Oh, you know exactly who I am."
Ryan frowned.
"What is this? Security!"
But before anyone could move, nearly half of the guests—including judges, CEOs, politicians, and several members of Ryan's own family—remained seated without saying a word.
As if...
They were waiting for the woman in blue to continue.
Emily suddenly felt a chill run through her body.
Only three people knew the secret she had buried five years earlier.
Two of them were already dead.
