Rejection & Regret

Summary

Vivian Sterling didn't like me, her fiancé from out of town.

To make me call off the engagement, she found a scholarship student at our school to impersonate her.

“One’s new money, the other’s too poor to eat. A perfect match.”

“I bet the new-money kid won’t last three days. He’ll definitely cancel the engagement.”

The scholarship student was beautiful in a cold, fragile way, quiet and reserved.

I fell for it completely. I thought the Sterling family had really gone bankrupt, that she couldn't even afford a proper meal.
