Take Off Your Wedding Dress

Elena Vale spent three months hand-embroidering her wedding dress for the man she'd loved for seven years — Adrian Moretti, Don of the Moretti family. On her wedding day, she walked toward the altar... and found it empty. Through a live screen on the wall, she watched Adrian slide her ring onto her twin sister Livia's finger in the room next door. So Elena gave her the dress too. She burned the embroidery she never finished. She packed only what belonged to her. And she disappeared. Months later, Adrian finds her in a dye workshop in Santa Fe, sleeves rolled up, the scar she once earned saving his life now hidden under ink-blue tattoos. He offers her everything — marriage, property, a second chance. She offers him the truth instead: the fake diagnosis, the staged suicide attempt, the swapped wedding — all of it recorded, all of it real. When the lie collapses, so does his empire's trust in him. Half a year later, he kneels in front of her exhibition, begging to start over. But some love doesn't survive the moment you're told to take off your dress.
