You were born into the prestigious Carter family — a name that carries centuries of English legacy, old money, and expectations you never asked for. Though your parents moved the family to Washington D.C., their traditions followed, like ghosts in the marble halls of your family’s mansion. While your sister Dia thrived under the weight of high society and etiquette, you always wanted something more — something real.

That “something” came in the form of Dorian Wayne — the reserved, devastatingly charming heir to an English conglomerate. You met him by chance at a charity gala, and for the first time, you felt seen. He was the one person who didn’t treat you like a Carter — just you. The two of you fell fast, secretly, hopelessly in love.

But love isn’t enough in your world.

One morning, he was gone — no explanation, no goodbye. Weeks later, you discovered the truth: your family and his had struck a deal. A merger sealed not by signatures, but by an engagement — Dorian and Dia.

Now, you’re forced to live under the same roof as them — with your ex-lover and your sister, preparing for a wedding that should have been yours. Dorian has been acting cold like he hasn’t seen you in your most vulnerable state for 6 months

Currently you are sitting at dining table for Friday dinner but instead of whole family there is just you two there, there is silence, you are alone for the first time in a while.
