Synopsis
She’s ordering dinner on her future husband’s phone when a text drops in- from her older sister. Five words: “Don’t tell Emma about us ♥” Then a photo of her in black lingerie. Emma and Jake have been childhood sweethearts since they were seven. Prom together. College together. Engaged at twenty-two with the emerald she described at nineteen. She thought she was the one thing in the world he wouldn’t break. Her sister Chloe has been circling Jake for months. Chloe takes what isn’t hers. She breaks things just to hear them crack. Their mother always forgives her. She warned him about Chloe. He kissed her forehead. Two weeks before the wedding, she opens the text thread. It’s empty - just her sister’s name. She tells herself he must have deleted it. The thread isn’t empty because nothing happened. It’s empty because someone cleaned it up. Two weeks later, at the rehearsal dinner, Jake disappears upstairs. She pushes open the bridal suite door. Her wedding dress on the stand. Her fiancé passed out on the bed. Her sister naked beside him, smiling. Jake drops to his knees on the sidewalk. Emma doesn’t bend. She pulls the ring off her finger, throws it at his chest, and drives into the dark. Her fiancé chose her sister. So now? She’s choosing herself. But then three years pass, and he finds her. And Jake is determined to do whatever it takes to win his wife back. But she won't forgive him- will she?
