The Billionaire's Revenge Bride,She Married His RivalChapter 1

On the day of the engagement party, my fiancé Carter Gilbert went to City Hall and married the real heiress.

Carter's voice dripped with contempt.

"You didn't actually think you were the one I was marrying today, did you?"

Nora Henson clung to his arm, her smile razor-sharp with triumph.

"I'm the one who said you deserved a lesson. Carter only played along for a few days, and you really thought you were going to be Mrs. Gilbert?"

My parents didn't care in the slightest.

"So what if Carter was your boyfriend for five years? You stole twenty years of Nora's life. This is exactly what you deserve!"

In that moment, I finally understood.

Carter and Nora had been together long before this.

The engagement party I'd been counting down to was nothing but a setup, orchestrated by every person in this room to humiliate me.

Laughter and mockery swirled around me.

I didn't say another word.

I just met the sneering gazes of Carter and the Hensons with perfect calm.

And smiled.

"After tonight, I hope none of you have any regrets."

Carter scoffed, clearly taking it as the bitterness of a sore loser.
