My boyfriend, Asher, got married, but I wasn't the bride.

I never imagined such a dramatic turn of events would ever happen to me.

To make matters worse, Asher had only been married for three days.

Despite this, he was ready to rush back to me, as if nothing had changed, and continue our relationship.

I didn't even consider faking my own death; instead, I set Asher's house on fire.

Someone like me is not to be trifled with.

Six months later, I showed up as a bride at his uncle's wedding.

Asher saw me and was utterly shocked, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Adeline! You're alive! You were deceiving me all along!"

With a smile, I replied, "You've mistaken me for someone else. Zora died at your house."

My boyfriend Asher got married, and I wasn't the bride.

I never imagined such a dramatic twist would happen to me.

What's more, Asher had been married for three days and was about to come back and act as if nothing had happened, continuing our relationship.

On impulse, I decided to stage my own death and set fire to Asher's house.

When it comes to pulling off stunts like this, no one does it better than me.

Half a year later, I showed up as the bride at his Uncle's wedding.

Asher saw me and was utterly shocked, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Adeline! You're alive! You were lying to me!"

I smiled and said, "You've confused me with someone else. Adeline died at your place."
