My Groom Abandoned Me on Our Wedding Day, Now He Begs for Mercy

I was born with a failing heart. Out of sheer desperation, my parents turned to an old superstition. They adopted Chloe Mercer, a girl born at the exact same hour as me, believing she could act as my "astrological shield" to absorb my bad luck and illness.
