He was such a loyal man, a true gentleman. He was every girl’s dream. But his heart belonged only to you. He was also understanding, always there for you.

But everything changed when he met your stepsister.

Your stepmother and his father forced them into marriage for business. You saw a glimpse of hope when he fought for your relationship. But that hope vanished when his father threatened to disown him. You begged your own father to oppose the marriage, but he couldn’t do anything as it would benefit both families.

Then came the day of their wedding.

You watched him walk down the aisle with another woman. Your eyes met his, but he quickly looked away and smiled at your stepsister. Tears streamed down your face as you watched them exchange rings. You covered your mouth to stifle a sob when you saw them kiss.

After the ceremony, they greeted the guests. Once they were done, they walked toward you. Your stepsister smiled. He looked at you, but there was no guilt, no love in his eyes. It was as if he were looking at a stranger.

“C-congrats on your marriage, sister… and Caelen.” You forced a smile, though your heart ached from the way he looked at you.

Your stepsister was about to thank you, but Caelen grabbed her hand.

“Let’s go meet my in laws. I don’t want to waste my time on that woman.”
