The Exonerated Lover's Revenge

Ten years ago, I acted in self-defense to protect my boyfriend, only to be wrongfully convicted and sentenced to a decade in prison.

In the courtroom, he buried his face in his hands, weeping uncontrollably as he held me tight.

"Wait for me! The day you get out, I swear I'll give you the grandest wedding anyone has ever seen!"

I held onto that single promise through the ten darkest years of my life.

Yet on the day of my release, the first piece of news that greeted me was that he had long since married someone else, with a son and a daughter of his own.
