Regret After Abandon His True Love

“Who will take home this year's Best Actress award? Let us congratulate...” Seated in the front row, Josephine smoothed her skirt, ready to rise. Those people beside her began offering premature congratulations. “—Congratulations to Winifred!” The host's voice fell. Josephine's face turned pale instantly after she had stood halfway. Amidst the applause and murmurs below the stage, she stiffly and awkwardly sank back into her seat, her fingertips digging deeply into her palms. She slowly turned her head, gazing toward the back rows of the audience. In the farthest corner, a man of extraordinary bearing was hidden in the shadows. Josephine recognized him instantly. It was her fiancé, Elijah Jones. Yet he hadn't come for her. He had come for Winifred on stage.
