Chapter 1

The night before my wedding, my fiancé and I went to try on wedding dresses.

The legendary store owner, Sophia---who had studied abroad but never showed her face---personally attended to us.

When I saw her in person, I didn't miss the flash of shock on my fiancé Julian's face.

Sophia brought over a wedding dress I hadn't selected, her smile ambiguous. "This one was designed by me and my first love together. You and I have similar profiles and figures---it'll look stunning on you."

I said nothing and took it into the fitting room.

It did look stunning.

When I pulled back the curtain, Julian was deep in intimate conversation with Sophia, their posture suggestive.

I asked him, "Does it look good?"

He jerked his head toward Sophia, his eyes reddening, visibly losing his composure---a rare sight.

The woman looked understanding. "It's understandable that Mr. Walker lost his composure for a moment."

I smiled and walked out. "Probably because the one wearing this wedding dress isn't you, his first love."

Then I turned to Julian.

"You've seen me in a wedding dress now. Let's break up."
