She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him.
 
She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. 

She forgot her true identity —for him. 

But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart.

Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage.

They didn't treat her wrongly, but they kept their behavior strictly professional as if Delyth wouldn't have been the patient in the hospital they would have even cared to look at her.

"Ms. Ember," the nurse suddenly paused to ask, "Are you feeling anywhere uncomfortable? Like dizziness or as such?"

Delyth simply shook her head. "I am fine."
