Love Beyond Control1

I was on the verge of marrying my fiancé, and I couldn't blame my mother, Ashley Dent, for her concerns. After hearing what the maid, Megan Fox, had to say these past few days, I was starting to worry, too.

Everyone else seemed consumed with jealousy while I was left feeling anxious, resting my chin on my hand, looking glum.

"Megan, have you noticed that no one's mentioned Mr. Fleming's looks?" I asked, my brow furrowed.

If he were handsome, people would be singing his praises for both his talent and appearance. The fact that they only talked about his skills suggested his looks were, well, less than desirable.

Finally, the big day arrived.

As I donned my wedding gown, just moments from being escorted down the aisle, a young maid burst in, her eyes darting around in panic.

She hurriedly whispered something to the matchmaker, whose expression shifted from joy to fury in an instant.

"Good-for-nothing scoundrel!" the matchmaker spat, her face darkening.

The room fell silent, and Megan and I exchanged confused glances, both of us completely in the dark.

After a moment, I clapped my hands in realization.

"This wedding definitely isn't happening!"
