Chapter 1
The moment the wine glass hit the floor; the entire room fell silent.
All eyes turned to me.
“Grace, what’s wrong? Are you afraid I’ll take away Ethan’s love for you? Don’t worry, I’ll
ve you even more than he does.”
Winnie White, with her arm wrapped around Ethan ‘s, walked up to me and began wiping the red wine off my skirt.
Instinctively, I pushed her away.
Ethan frowned and looked at me. “Grace Baker, what the hell is wrong with you? Apologize to Winnie right now!”
Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared at him in disbelief:
Ethan lost his patience and shoved me hard.
I crashed into the dining table behind me, sending plates and bowls shattering to the floor. The hot soup splashed onto my hands.
“Ah!”
Winnie screamed as she clutched her hand.
The broken pieces of the plate flew up, cutting her arm.
Ethan panicked, cradling her hand in his, his face full of concern. “Are you okay, Winnie?”
Then he looked up at me, his voice sharp as he shouted, “Get out!”
My couture dress was stained with food, utterly ruined.
With everyone’s mocking gazes on me, I gathered my skirt and ran out of the banquet hall, tears streaming down my face.

Shattered Vows
Chapter 1
“Ethan, after all, she’s your sister.”
“What sister? She’s just an ugly duckling. Does she really think that just because she followed her cheap mother into the Smith family, she can become a swan?”
My heart sank into icy depths.
Just last night, Ethan had been in my bed, holding me in his arms, kissing me.
is very dress I wore, he had put on me this morning with his own hands.
His fingers had traced every inch of my skin, his warm breath against my ear as he
whispered, “My Grace is so beautiful, I can’t bear to let anyone else look at you.”
My cheeks flushed, and I turned to pull him closer, wrapping my arms around his neck. “When are you going to tell them the truth?”
Ethan lowered his gaze, kissing me softly, a light chuckle escaping his lips.
“Look extra beautiful today, I’ve got a surprise for you.”
الصدري
At that moment, I was filled with joy, thinking he was finally going to reveal the truth about us and call off the engagement with Winnie.
But what I didn’t expect was that his “surprise” turned out to be this.
Now, I ran through the streets in my high heels, only to twist my ankle.
The burn on my arm was now blistered.
My couture dress, my disheveled hair, my ruined makeup, and the raw redness of my arm
were a stark contrast.
At this moment, I truly felt like an ugly duckling. No matter how many colorful feathers I wore, they couldn’t hide the ugliness and misery beneath.
Passersby stopped in their tracks, staring at me as I walked by.
I took off my heels and clutched them in my hand, walking numbly toward the hospital.
Chapter 1
My mind felt like a tangled mess of yarn, and I couldn’t make sense of anything.
How had everything come to this?
