The Echo of Betrayal: My Voice Was Never Mine

Two years into our marriage, the city's elite still sighed over Julian's three year battle against his family, all to make me his wife.

But the very day I found out I was pregnant, footage of his ex-girlfriend Sera returning to the city went viral.

In the video, they passed in the airport terminal. Then both turned at the same instant, their eyes meeting across the crowded hall.

The comments painted a unified picture of romantic fantasy:

"Now this is real love."

"If Sera hadn't gotten hadn't gotten a terminal illness and left him, Aria would never have had a chance."
