Ava and Ethan’s whirlwind romance began with an instant connection over a shared love for “Pride and Prejudice.” “Oh, I’m sorry,” Ethan said when their hands touched, “Looks like we have the same taste in books.” Their dreamy dates quickly led to Ethan’s romantic proposal after just three months, with Ava tearfully accepting, “Yes, a thousand times yes!”

As their wedding approached, Ethan’s sister Olivia accidentally revealed a shocking truth: “The whole fake marriage thing. Ethan needed to get married to get his inheritance.” Heartbroken, Ava confirmed the betrayal through Ethan’s messages, where he admitted, “Just a few more months and the inheritance is mine.”

On their wedding day, Ava exposed Ethan’s deceit in front of everyone: “This wedding was never about love for Ethan. It was about money.” She walked away from the altar, reclaiming her worth and refusing to marry a man who saw her as a means to an end.

Supported by her friends and family, Ava began to heal, focusing on herself and finding strength in her own worth. “I chose to stand up for myself,” she reflected, “to walk away from deceit and embrace my own strength.”
