Winter's Betrayal: A Groom Left Behind

For seven years, I, Liam Davies, built a life loving pop star Serena Vance, accepting her "Winter" persona as a quirky brand, a harmless aesthetic.

Then, on our wedding day, a mysterious gift arrived, shattering her public smile and revealing a name: Donovan Thorne.

Her face drained, her hands trembled, and as she lifted the lid, a single preserved white rose under glass mocked our seven years with its presence, proving her "Winter" was not a season, but a person-a dead person.
