After Discovering I'm Married, My Childhood Sweetheart Regrets Running Away

On her wedding day, Ravenna receives a desperate call from Hendrick Pierce, the childhood friend she has loved in secret for years. He begs her not to marry another man and asks her to meet him at Sinclair Garden, promising to take her away if she comes. Believing his words, she leaves her wedding behind and hurries to him in her bridal gown.

But Hendrick is waiting with his friends, who have wagered money on whether she would come. He mocks her for being a married woman chasing him, then kneels and proposes to Viella Ivory, her own bridesmaid, while the crowd laughs. He demands she sing for his engagement, and the guests taunt her as shameless and pitiful.

Ravenna refuses to sing and refuses to wish them happiness. She knows Hendrick meant to make her abandon her wedding, yet she insists her marriage will go ahead as planned. What none of them realize is that this elopement was her move in a game they never knew they were playing.
