She smirked in his oversized t-shirt, asking when he would finally dump me. I dumped him on the spot, but my nightmare had just begun.

They would only pay if I took Sienna's place in an arranged marriage to a notorious "loser" from the powerful Knight family. Sienna was pregnant with my ex's baby and refused to marry him. To save the only mother figure I ever had, I sold my future and agreed to the sham marriage. But on the wedding day at City Hall, my fiancé didn't show up. Sienna brought my ex to witness my humiliation, laughing that even a useless loser didn't want me. "Look at you, so pathetic. You've been stood up."

I fought back with blackmail to make her delete it, but the clock was ticking, and my hope was turning to ash.
