“So... would you be willing to help Alexa by taking her fiancé's place?” My dream wedding to Dr. Robert fell apart overnight when, just two days before our ceremony, he was involved in a fatal accident that claimed someone's life. Desperate to save our family's reputation, my father begged Chandra—my childhood best friend—to marry me instead. Chandra said yes. I didn't. I hated him for taking Robert's place as the man who was supposed to become my husband. I swore I would protect my virginity until the day Robert walked free from prison, so I could divorce Chandra and return to the man I truly loved. I treated Chandra with nothing but coldness. I pushed him away, spoke to him harshly, and kept my distance every chance I got. But Chandra was no longer the gentle best friend I could take for granted. Now... He was my husband.
