JILTED AND SCORNED
The four-tiered cake, a culinary masterpiece dripping with elegant flowers graced the table—untouched.
Gretchen stared out the window. “It’s not supposed to be like this.”
What happened to Jared? Why would he abandon her?
Outside a man banged on the door. Dripping hair hung in his dirty face.

“Gretchen, please.”

“Shut up and marry me now.”
