My Groom Chose to Marry my BestfriendChapter 1

After four years of dating and six months of engagement, the eve of my wedding had finally arrived. In a moment of both curiosity and dread, I used the key pendant that my boyfriend, Hudson Reid always wore around his neck to unlock his safe. What I found inside shattered my heart: countless photos of my best friend, Harper Davidson, chronicling her journey from youthful innocence to graceful maturity. My breath caught in my throat as a wave of heartache washed over me. Each image revealed the depth of his feelings for her—feelings I had never fully acknowledged.

Clutching the photos to my chest, I rushed to the hotel where our wedding was set to take place, panic fueling my steps. But nothing could have prepared me for what I encountered upon arrival. There, in the glow of the soft lights, Hudson was kneeling before Harper, his eyes brimming with adoration as he proposed to her.

"Harper, marry me," he declared passionately. "For you, I'm willing to defy the world and show everyone that you're my true love!"
