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. 

So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for.

Arwen was curious. Although their conclusions still lacked concrete evidence, she knew that all their deducements weren't entirely wrong. Delyth was somewhere and somehow involved in her accident.

And if that assumption was anywhere close to reality, then it only meant that there was someone out there who took revenge on Delyth for all the pain Arwen had suffered.

"Who could it be?" she muttered under her breath.

Gianna, who had been ranting and cursing the duo, paused at Arwen's sudden question. "Huh?" she asked, confused.

Arwen glanced at her before shaking her head in nothingness. "No, I was simply wondering who could be behind Delyth's condition. Did he or she really do it for me, or had there been any other reason behind it?"
