A Yale Scholarship For His Lies

My boyfriend, Jefferson, convinced me to give up my Yale scholarship for him. He was my secret, my escape from the shame of my mother's past, and I threw away my future for our love.

Then, at a gala, he publicly announced his engagement to Aubrey Carroll-the girl who made my high school years a living hell.

He trapped me in his mansion, forcing me to become her personal servant. She tortured me daily, culminating in her brutally killing our dog, Charlie, with a garden trowel.
