“Angela, given your physical condition, if you lose this baby, you might never be able to have children again. Won’t you reconsider?”
THE
Angela’s eyes blurred with tears as she said, “Ethan, I’ve made up my mind.”
This child was supposed to be her greatest gift to Braeden for their seventh wedding anniversary.
He didn’t want it. He had killed it from the very beginning.
She wouldn’t give it to him anymore.
The cold instruments entered her body.
The movement made her stomach hurt terribly.
It also severed the only connection between her and Braeden.
What she hadn’t expected was that when she woke up after surgery, the first message she received was from an unknown number sending her the location of a bridal shop.
Angela dragged her aching body into a car and went to the bridal shop.
Braeden and the others had just arrived and were standing at the entrance.
Braeden held Valerie in his arms, his voice full of helplessness.
“Valerie, you’re my wife. I can’t give you a proper wedding, but I still

want you to wear a wedding dress once.”
“Braeden, I’m just afraid of causing you trouble. This is going to cost so much money.”
Braeden touched Valerie’s nose, his expression full of adoration.
“Silly girl, I can’t give you a legitimate status, but I can make you happy.
Mi
Sitting in the car, Angela listened to Braeden’s words to Valerie, feeling her heart tear apart with pain.
Wife? Valerie was his wife, but what was she?

He wanted to make Valerie happy, but what about her happiness?
Watching Braeden’s gestures toward Valerie–they were all things he had done to her thousands of times before.
Angela suddenly felt she didn’t regret losing the baby.
Because Braeden didn’t deserve to be her child’s father!
She and Braeden had also chosen their wedding dress at this same place when they got married.
Several luxury cars stopped, surrounding her from the front and back.
The people getting out were all friends of Braeden and hers.
Angela listened to the conversations outside.
“Braeden wants to surprise his wife. Tonight there’s going to be a small wedding ceremony at the bridal shop.”
“Isn’t Braeden afraid Angela will find out?”

“It’s Angela’s fault for being unable to have children. Braeden even lied to her that their marriage certificate was fake.”
“Everyone shut up about this. Angela is Braeden’s precious baby. This is just to appease Valerie because she’s carrying his golden child.”
Angela felt her blood turn cold.
So all her childhood friends knew about Braeden’s betrayal!
This bridal shop was something she had opened out of boredom during college. All the wedding dresses inside were her own designs. Except for the shop manager, no one knew she was the owner.
After everyone went inside, Angela entered through the back door.
She stood in a dark corner on the third floor, watching Braeden dressed in a white suit while Valerie had changed into a snow–white wedding dress.
The inspiration for this wedding dress came from her first fight with Braeden.
Braeden had been angry that Shane had given her a birthday gift.
He had pressed her against the blackboard in their college classroom and kissed her fiercely. That was also their first kiss. That night, in the sweet yet bittersweet memory of their first kiss, she had designed this wedding dress set called “First Love.”
Braeden and Valerie stood on the stage.
Below the stage were all the people she had known since childhood.
They were clapping, cheering, and blessing Braeden and Valerie.

“Braeden, she looks so beautiful.”
“Braeden, congratulations. You and your wife should exchange rings now.”
Angela watched Braeden take out the ring.
The ring box opened.
From her high vantage point, Angela could see everything clearly.
Those were identical matching rings to the ones from their wedding.
Braeden’s was still that same man’s ring.
And Valerie’s ring was identical to hers.
So even the rings were shared among three people!
The lights suddenly went out with a snap.
All the stage lights went dark.
Only the spot where Angela stood remained illuminated.
