Behind the Mask

Ella and Rock were engaged, but on the morning of their wedding, he walked out on her, sneering that he'd never marry a "backwater nobody." Humiliated but determined, she swallowed her pride and fought alongside him for three years—all while hiding behind a mask. As the mysterious Chloe, she became the woman he obsessively pursued, yet he treated his real wife with nothing but icy contempt. When he finally shoved the divorce papers at her, Ella tore off her disguise: "The Chloe you've been chasing—it was me all along." Rock's regret came crashing down, but it was too late—Ella was already carrying his child. In one desperate, redeeming act, he stepped in front of a fatal knife meant for her, gasping, "I'm sorry, baby. I was an idiot."
