The Phoenix Bride: Call and Lie

It was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. My wedding to Liam Vance, the tech mogul, a man I loved and trusted with my whole heart.

Then, a text from an unknown number shattered my perfect world: a photo of a woman's hand, a massive diamond ring mirroring mine, resting on his custom wedding suit sleeve. The message: "Is this the wedding dress you designed for me? It's beautiful, Ava. Liam is a lucky man."

My blood ran cold as I recognized Chloe, Liam's "terminally ill" ex-business partner, reflected in the photo.
