Took the Blame for 3 Years, Now I'm Selling Sweet Potatoes at My Ex's Engagement Part

New Year's Eve, and I was pushing a rusted roasting cart through the frozen streets, hawking sweet potatoes to anyone who'd spare a glance.

Three years free. Three years out of prison.

The wind cut like a straight razor against my cheeks. Through the howl of it, someone called my name.

I lifted my head.

Liam Delgado.

Charlotte Swanson stood just behind him—the *real* daughter of the Swanson family. Their whole entourage dripped designer labels, glittering under the streetlights like they'd stepped out of a magazine spread. Ready to ring in the New Year in style.
