Emily was devastated when her fiancé, David, left her at the altar. Five years later, she received a text from him asking for a meeting to explain what happened.
On their wedding day, everything was perfect—until David was absent from the altar. Confused and heartbroken, Emily later learned from Sarah that no one knew where he had gone.
David and Emily had met at Stanford, where their connection grew quickly. Emily came from wealth, while David worked hard to get through school. Though David was hesitant about the extravagant wedding, he went along with it to make Emily happy.
The day of the wedding, David vanished. Emily spent weeks in a daze, avoiding her friends and work. But one night, she received a text from David asking to meet.
When they met, David explained that Emily’s father had threatened to ruin him if he went through with the wedding, saying he wasn’t good enough for her. David left to protect his family, fearing Emily would side with her father.
Though hurt, Emily listened as David confessed he had never stopped loving her and had worked hard to rebuild his life. They agreed to take things slow, but Emily knew she had to confront her father.
She confronted him, furious that he had manipulated her life for his own control. After that, Emily and David began planning a quiet, intimate wedding. This time, it was about their love, not appearances.
Through the pain, Emily learned that real love is worth fighting for.
