My fiancé left me with his 10 children and disappeared a week before 0ur wedding — 30 years later, his lawyer showed up at my door and said, “I have an envel0pe for you. It was his last wish.”

So when Julian asked me to marry him, I said yes without hesitation.

I counted the days until our wedding.

But exactly one week before we were supposed to stand at the altar together, I woke up and discovered Julian was gone.

At first, I thought something terrible had happened.

I searched the house.

I called his name.

I checked the driveway.

His car was gone.
