The Bullet I Took For You

For five blissful years, I poured my heart and soul into saving Ethan Lester, the tragic hero from a TV show, now the man I loved.

Our wedding was just seven days away, my mission 99% complete, a lifetime of happiness within reach.

Then, his voice, thick with emotion, echoed from the guesthouse.

"Annie, I never stopped loving you."

He declared I was just "static," background noise to his enduring love for Annabel, his wealthy ex-fiancée.

The woman whose family destroyed him.

The woman for whom he promised to still take a bullet.
