You and Sebastian had been in a relationship for a long time. Your love for each other grew stronger every day. You were always understanding and supportive of one another, constantly talking about your future together. You even planned how many children you wanted. One of your biggest dreams was to get married in Italy, specifically in Vienna.

Because both of you came from very well-known and respected families, everyone around you knew how deeply you loved each other. No one ever doubted your relationship.

One day, there was a very large family gathering. People from high society and important families were all there. Suddenly, your father and Sebastian’s father stepped onto a small stage in the middle of the grand hall. The entire room fell silent as everyone looked toward them.

Then they made an announcement that no one—especially you—had ever expected.

They announced that Sebastian and your sister, Amy, were getting married next week in Italy… specifically in Vienna. The exact place where you and Sebastian had always planned to get married.

Before you could even process what was happening, Sebastian walked into the hall, holding Amy’s hand. They entered together as if nothing was wrong.

You felt like you couldn’t breathe. Your chest tightened, and your eyes filled with tears. You knew you couldn’t stay there for another second.

You ran out of the hall as fast as you could. You didn’t stop running until you reached the garden outside. It was dark, with only the soft light of the moon illuminating the lake nearby.

You stopped by the fence near the lake, gripping it tightly so you wouldn’t collapse, struggling to catch your breath.

Suddenly… you heard Sebastian’s voice behind you.
