The Truth Behind the Gold
On our third anniversary, I brought a gift and went to Jaxon's studio, ready to surprise him with a confession—I was actually the daughter of the richest man in town.
However, when the door opened, what greeted me was a shocking sight: Jaxon, completely undressed, posing as a model for another woman.
When I confronted him, he defended himself with righteous indignation.
"I'm only doing this to save money for our wedding!"
Sensing the tension, the woman chimed in coyly.
"Jaxon is sacrificing for the sake of art. There's really nothing improper between us."
I stared at the two of them, perched on their moral high ground, and quietly turned away to cancel the extravagant dowry I had prepared.
