Chapter 1 The Anonymous Emall
We had been together for seven years, and I never knew my fiancé had a first love he cherished deeply.
That was, until the night before our wedding, when I received an anonymous email.
Inside was a video of him with his first love, and the intimate scenes were beyond disgusting.
Afterwards, I overheard him say to her, “If only you were the one in the wedding dress. The thought of marrying Aurora makes me
sick to my stomach.
And then–just as he had hoped, I ran away from the wedding. But he lost his mind.
The night before the wedding. I was up early, writing my vows with dark circles under my eyes. To make sure our wedding went off without a hitch, I hadn’t had a full night’s sleep for days.
I had taken care of everything–everything for the wedding was in my hands. My fiancé, Cadell Hartman, claimed he was busy with work and had been glued to his office for the past few days.
I believed him
Even the vows were written by me–two versions, his and mine.
Right when I was finishing the last line, an anonymous email pinged on my phone.
Curious, I clicked on it, only to be greeted by a shocking video.
The couple in the video were entangled in an intimate embrace, their heavy breaths and soft moans filling my ears.
I initially thought it was some prank video, but then I froze as soon as I recognized the man’s face. There was no mistaking it–it was my fiancé, Cadell.
My grip on the mouse tightened, and I stared at the screen for what felt like an eternity, the birthmark on his waist clearly visible.
In that instant, the weight of the reality dawned on me–it was really him.
I could hardly believe it. There was no sign of it being tampered with–it was real.
My fiancé had cheated on me just days before our wedding.
The video showed him passionately holding a woman, thrusting into her, his delighted sighs filling the space.
Compared to the gentle, well–mannered man I knew, he looked like a completely different person.
Blood rushed to my head. I clenched my teeth, tasting the blood rising in my throat, the fury building up inside me. My eyes
locked on the scene, the bed, the surrounding decor–it all felt eerily familiar. Until I saw the bedsheets….
The very same sheets I had meticulously chosen for our wedding night!
Cadell had taken this woman into our bedroom–the one I had prepared for us–and slept with her just before our wedding?
Anger and disbelief flooded my mind, leaving me frozen.
I had been with Cadell for seven years, and I never knew about this first love he held so dear.
He had hidden it so well–If it hadn’t been for that anonymous email, I’d still be completely in the dark
I took a deep breath, nausea washing over me as my head spun. Just as I was about to close the video, I heard Cadell’s voice. “Lorna, if only you were the one in the wedding dress. The thought of marrying Aurora makes me sick to my stomach.”
The woman named Lorna giggled at his words, teasing him as she pulled him in for a kiss. “So, who’s better in bed, me Aurora?”
Cadell chuckled seductively. “Definitely you. Aurora’s like a statue. I’d never touch her if she didn’t keep coming after me. I’m only
marrying her because she won’t leave me alone. She’s boring, uptight–she disgusts me
Lorna laughed even more, clearly pleased. “So, after the wedding, will you still sneak around with me?”

“Of course,” Cadell assured her, his voice full of passion. It was like he couldn’t get enough of her, pushing deeper, as if he wanted
to merge with her.
murmured, “Lorna, don’t worry. You’ll carry my first child, I swear.”
Out of breath, he m
I couldn’t bear to listen anymore. The sound of her laughter and moans was li
like a blade stabbing through my
How could Cadell treat me like this?
If he hadn’t said it with his own mouth, I would’ve never known. Was I really so worthless to him?
Did our entire seven years of relationship mean nothing? Was everything he’d ever done for me just a lie?
I shut off the video, my hand shaking as I gripped the mouse.
When the screen switched back to the vows I had been editing, my tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Looking at the heartfelt words, I couldn’t help but feel how absurd it all was.
heart.
Seven years of love–hell, even a dog could develop feelings after that long, let alone someone I was about to marry.
I wiped away my tears, trying to suppress the crushing pain in my chest, when just then, a message from Cadell popped up.
I wiped my eyes, fighting the urge to break down, and clicked on the chat window.
Cadell: Babe, one of my friends is rushing back to town to be my best man.
I stared at the message, trying to keep my emotions in check.
Aurora: Okay, and?
Cadell: Well, we’ve got a spot for a bridesmaid, but it’s too late to get someone else. So I found someone for you. See? I’m so
thoughtful.
He sent a picture along with the message.
I took one look at the picture and my blood ran cold. The woman in the photo was none other than his affair partner!
At that moment, a mix of humiliation and rage washed over me. I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly,
my wedding?
Not only had Cadell cheated on me the night before our wedding, but now he was putting his mistress in my
Was he planning on having an affair with her in our wedding suite during the ceremony?
I stared at the picture and his smug words, forcing myself to text.
Aurora: Who is she?
Cadell replied with a voice message, his tone sweet and affectionate–completely at odds with the man I’d seen in the video. “She’s a colleague from work, Lorna Hill. She’s free tomorrow, so she can step in and help us out.”
A colleague?
I couldn’t believe it. He’d already shamelessly inserted her into his life?
Sure I wouldn’t catch on?!
I couldn’t stop imagining it–while I was at home, anxiously waiting for him to come back so I could make him dinner, was he locked in an embrace with Lorna?
The thought of it made me want to vomit.
Cadell, lost in his role of the perfect fiancé, continued, “Babe, she’s done us such a big favor so w
nice gift.
I couldn’t contain the sarcasm as I replied.
Aurora: Oh, of course. I’ll get her a very special gift.
I typed the words with emphasis, each letter dripping with venom.
I wasn’t some sort of pushover. Cadell had humiliated me like this, and he was going to pay for it.
As my fury reached its peak, Cadell sent another photo.

Cadell: By the way, did you return the bridesmaid dress? I got a different one. It’s from a friend’s brand, so we could get a discount. I’ve already ordered the right size.”
I clicked the image, my body trembling with rage.
What did he order?
A wedding dress! Not a bridesmaid dress–his plan was to have her wear a wedding dress!
He was trying to use our wedding to fulfill his and Lorna’s secret desires!
I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly again. For seven years, I had been the one making compromises for him. If it hadn’t been for that anonymous email, I would have never seen this side of him.
I closed the computer with a bang, seething with fury.
He wanted to cheat on me?
Fine. I would expose every filthy thought he had and make sure everyone knew about it.
