Dream's Over: Back to Reality
Silas Grant and I are renowned in our social circle for being a loving couple. However, a month before our wedding, he calls everything off. He wants to marry the poor student that my parents have been sponsoring.
I demand an explanation. He says to me, "Vivian will have to marry that cripple if I don't marry her. You're the kindest person I know, Serena. I'm sure you can understand why I'm doing this."
"Fine, then," I say.
Silas leans down to kiss my cheek. He holds me happily and says, "I knew you'd agree to this. Don't worry, okay? I'll divorce her once this matter is settled."
I push him away lightly and wipe his saliva from my cheek. Then, I pull out an invitation from my pocket.
He takes it. His smile freezes when he sees the names on the invitation.
