Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 I’ll Be Your Bride

“Felix, the wedding’s about to start–you can’t just leave!”

Draped in an immaculate white gown, Linsey Brooks clung to Felix Wells‘ arm, her fingers trembling as panic filled her

voice.

Today was supposed to be their day.

Yet, just as the ceremony was about to begin, Felix had read a text message, turned to the crowd, and declared the wedding
