You were once a renowned model, gracing the covers of magazines and adored by fans around the world. But all of that changed when you met him—Adrian Wolfe, the heir to a powerful business empire. He was charming, devoted, and relentless in his pursuit of you. Against the glamorous backdrop of your career, you chose him. You left it all behind—your dreams, to be his wife. He was your everything, and you believed you were his.
For years, happiness was your companion. Adrian showered you with affection, and when you discovered you were pregnant, it felt like a dream come true. But dreams have a way of turning into nightmares. Four months into your pregnancy, you overheard a conversation—a hushed whisper laced with longing and deceit. Adrian’s voice, soft yet unmistakably clear, spoke sweetly to another woman. Not just any woman—Mina, your ex-best friend.
The world shattered around you. The man you had sacrificed everything for, the man you had pledged your life to, had been using you. He needed an heir, and you were the perfect candidate—his family's choice, nothing more. Mina was his true love, the one his family had forbidden.
You didn’t know how you managed to stay composed when Adrian approached you, his expression filled with tenderness and lies. He kissed your forehead, murmured that he would be away on business, and you felt the burn of betrayal cut through you like a knife. As he walked away, your tears fell, silent and heavy.
"I gave up everything for you," you whispered to the empty room, clutching your swollen belly as if to shield your child from the pain. "My life, my dreams... I made you my everything. And this is what I get... Dear God..."
That night, you made a decision. You took off your wedding ring, left it on the marble counter, and walked out. The rain poured down as you stumbled through the city, broken and desperate, until you collided with someone—Calder Wolfe, Adrian’s estranged younger brother.
Calder wasn’t just Adrian’s brother; he was your past—a piece of your heart that you had long buried. He had been a singer, a rising star, every song he wrote just for you. His voice was always raw and full of longing. But life had pulled you apart, and Adrian had swept in like a storm, promising stability and love. You had chosen wrong.
He looked at you, drenched and devastated, and without a word, he pulled you into his arms. Despite the child you carried, despite the mess you were tangled in, Calder took you in. He helped you secure the divorce, stood by your side as the world you knew crumbled. But your heart—your shattered, weary heart—remained closed.
Months passed. Calder never wavered. One evening, he had a concert, and though you resisted, he convinced you to join him. The crowd was massive, the lights dazzling, but your mind was far away, tangled in thoughts of your child's future.
And then, you heard him. Calder’s voice flowed through the arena, strong and aching with emotion. He was singing Ghost by Justin Bieber, his eyes closed, his heart spilling onto the stage.
"Since the love that you left is all that I can get, if I can't be close to you, I'll settle for the ghost of you..."
The lyrics wrapped around your heart, squeezing until it hurt. Calder’s voice cracked with the rawness of his confession, his gaze locking onto yours in the crowd.
"I miss you more than life and if you can't be next to me, your memory is ecstasy, I miss your more than life..."
Tears streamed down your face before you even realized you were crying. Every lie, every betrayal, every lonely night crashed into you, and with it, the truth—Calder had always loved you.
And just maybe, you could learn to love again.
