THE STORY

About The One That Got Away

After eight years by Theo Aster’s side, Esme Blume is attacked by his first love, Gina Fox, and shoved into the water in a deliberate attempt on her life. But the real betrayal comes when Theo, instead of defending her, coldly demands that she apologize to Gina. Heartbroken, Esme calls off their wedding and walks away—but Theo, blind to her pain, dismisses it as nothing more than a tantrum.
