Three Times I Died, His Calls Unanswered

I returned to Arizona after four years, happily engaged and hoping to invite my guardian, Marcus, to my wedding.

But I found a nightmare: Marcus was engaged to Chloe Davenport, my high school bully.

He instantly dismissed my wedding news as a “lie,” blindly favoring Chloe as she systematically tormented me.

He allowed her to frame me, forced apologies, and let her steal my cherished artwork.

When I reported it, he quashed the police investigation, accusing me of “causing trouble” and confining me.

His cruel disregard and blind favoritism was a profound betrayal.
