She believes in true love.

He doesn’t believe in love.

But what is love, really?

She is the epitome of success—a star people look up to and admire. To him, however, she is merely a business transaction, a partner chosen to enhance his status. To his friends, she is just a fool in love, a pathetic figure begging for affection.

Then shocking news emerges: her first true love returns, throwing him off guard. He realizes he has been nothing more than a substitute for her first love.

He should be angry, but instead, he finds himself overwhelmed by emotions he can’t express or understand. Is this possessiveness, or is he finally learning to love her?

She is determined to return to her first love, but inside, she is torn. Did she really treat him as just a substitute, or did she actually come to love him?

What are they supposed to do when love is a question mark?

When Love is a Question Mark

Zinnia's chest tightened, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. "Timmy, why didn't you tell me? I could've… I don't know, at least said goodbye or offered to help in some way."

"I'm really sorry," Timmy said, and she could tell he genuinely felt bad. "Things were moving so fast. He didn't want to trouble you, especially with everything else going on."

She closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Did he say when he'd be back?"

"No," Timmy admitted. "But I'll keep you updated as soon as I hear from him again. I promise."

Zinnia nodded, though he couldn't see it. "Alright. Just… let me know if anything changes."

"Of course, Miss Zinnia," Timmy assured her. "And again, I'm sorry for not telling you sooner."

She ended the call and set her phone down on the coffee table, leaning back against the couch. Her mind raced with thoughts of Samuel and what could have possibly happened with the company.
