Chapter 1
My fiancé Logan Perez’s high school sweetheart, the one he had loved long before me, was now gravely ill.
She was an orphan, and her greatest wish before she died was to have a “legitimate” family.
So, Logan, who was supposed to marry me, secretly married her instead.
And just like that, I went from being his fiancée to a third wheel in someone else’s marriage.
*****
When I stumbled upon Logan and Meryl Portman’s marriage license, it felt like a bomb had exploded in my head.
The date stamped in steel was from last Saturday.
On that very day, I had called Logan six times while battling a high fever, but every call was disconnected.
An hour later, he finally sent me a text: [Sorry, I was in a meeting. Why all the calls? Is something up?]
At the time, I stupidly believed him, thinking he was genuinely swamped with work.
Chapter 1
Tears started falling uncontrollably.

Each drop landed on the photograph of him and Meryl on the marriage license.
In the photo, they wore faint smiles, looking every bit like a blissful newlywed couple.
I stood there, stunned, my fingers trembling as they clutched the license.
Meryl had come back two months ago.
Since her arrival, Logan’s heart seemed to be drawn to her uncontrollably.
He even postponed our wedding, claiming it was because “Meryl’s advanced stomach cancer couldn’t handle any more stress.”
I had fought with Logan over this.
He had been so exasperated, yanking at his tie, and said, “Natalie, can you stop being so petty with someone who’s about to die?”
How could I not be upset when my fiancé was spending so much time in the hospital with his ex?
Tears streamed down my face in an instant.
I bit my lip, glaring at him.

Seeing my bears, he softened his tone.
“Don’t overthink this. There’s really nothing between me and Maryl.
“You low she’s an orphan with no family at all..
“I just wanted her to feel some warmth before she goes, so she wouldn’t leave this world feeling so alone
It was absurd.
He said there was nothing between them, but he went ahead and married her.
What did he think of me?
