Chapter 3 - The Broken Vows
To understand the absolute, unhinged cruelty of the abandoned wedding, one had to look at the woman who had walked away.
Theodore’s fiancée was Cassandra, a viciously wealthy heiress from a rival corporate dynasty. They had been engaged for two years. Theodore genuinely loved her, believing they were building a powerful, equal partnership. He had spent millions of dollars designing this perfect, fairy-tale wedding just to make her happy.
But exactly ten minutes before she was supposed to walk down the aisle, Cassandra vanished.
She didn't leave a heartfelt note. She didn't call him to apologize. She simply sent a brutal, three-word text message to his best man: The merger failed.
Theodore had stood at the altar in front of five hundred elite guests, completely humiliated, forced to announce that his bride wasn't coming. The high-society crowd had whispered, mocked him, and immediately left the venue, leaving him completely isolated in his grief.
He thought Cassandra had left because she got cold feet. He thought she was just scared of commitment.
