I Made His Wife’s Dress Now I’ll Marry Another Novel by Anonymous

 

I spent eleven months making my own wedding dress.

 

But on the night of the Whitmore centennial show, the woman who walked up the grand staircase wearing it was my adopted sister, Sabine.

 

She stood in the spotlight, one hand resting on a stomach that wasn’t yet showing, the other looped through my fiancé Adrian’s arm. The reporters’ flashes bleached the world white. He didn’t let go of her. He simply stood by as his PR team announced that the baby was his, and that they would be getting married as soon as possible.

 

Backstage, the size card I had written for myself still hung from the garment rack.

 

I reached inside the gown and found the hand-sewn label hidden at the waist seam, in the most discreet place I could manage—

 

Clara Whitmore, Bride.

 

With my dressmaker’s shears, I sliced it from the seam, broke off the engagement, and flew to Paris that same night.

 

Over the next six years, Adrian sent me more than three hundred emails.

 

I never replied to a single one.

 

I didn’t set foot in New York again until my mother’s kidneys began to fail, and the donor lined up for her paired exchange suddenly backed out.
