Chapter 1

On our wedding day, Julian went live across all social media, delivering a passionate declaration:

"Happy wedding day, my beloved wife."

The very next second, he brutally ripped off my veil, a wicked smirk on his face:

"Happy divorce, Aurora."

The tears of joy I’d been shedding froze on my cheeks.

The entire ballroom erupted in laughter.

As I stared in horrified disbelief, he pulled his assistant, stunning in a slinky gown, into his arms.

"If you hadn't insisted on fighting her for that necklace a week ago, I wouldn't be doing this to you.

"When you finally apologize and she's calmed down, *then* I'll actually marry you."

But he forgot, that necklace was a family heirloom, left to me by my mother. The Vance family’s legacy.

I became the internet's biggest joke.

Meanwhile, Julian and his assistant's 'couple' went absolutely viral.

It was three months later, after he'd finished globetrotting with his assistant, that he casually asked:

"Has she apologized yet?"

"Mr. Caldwell, Ms. Aurora... she got married."
