After You Broke Me, I Became the Heiress You Can't ReachChapter 1
The wedding dress fitting was over. Blake Vance gently reached across and buckled my seatbelt for me.
"Babe, I've seen you in the dress now, so I won't be coming to the wedding."
I froze, stunned. "What do you mean?"
He smiled and pressed a kiss to my temple.
"Met a girl. Feisty little thing, refused to be the other woman. So I went to the courthouse with her this morning."
"I'm someone else's husband now. If I go through with our wedding, my wife might get upset."
A high-pitched ringing filled my skull. My voice shook so badly it barely held together. "Why? We're getting married in a week."
His tone was apologetic, almost innocent. "Babe, you're the one I love most. But you know how men are. We can't resist eighteen."
"If you can't bear to cancel the wedding, just find some guy to stand in as the groom. Don't sell yourself short. It breaks my heart."
The wedding dress I'd just tried on still lay across the back seat.
White as snow. Cold enough to seep into my bones.
My body trembled. I slid the pregnancy report halfway out of my pocket, then pushed it back down.
He was right about one thing.
I shouldn't sell myself short.
