I Fought for His Love but Remained Second Best

When we first met, I was just an abandoned girl from a remote mountain village, while he was a renowned director in Chicago.

To get closer to him, I worked tirelessly to master acting.

But when I finally rose to fame, Shane Dean gave my debut film to his first love.

Years later, I stood by the river, gazing at the man I had loved for a decade.

"Do you really want to jump?" I asked.

Shane avoided my eyes and turned away, adjusting Harriet Hudson's coat.

"You’re Harriet’s stunt double—you have to jump for her."

So I jumped. And with that single plunge, two lives were lost.
