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.

While leaving he has asked her to remain careful. And she did as well. But who knew that even after being careful, they would end up going to the hospital just the next day he left? And he would come to know about it so soon.

"Didn't I ask you to stay careful?" Aiden asked, instead of answering her question. "How did you hurt yourself just the day after I left?"

"I didn't get hurt?" Arwen immediately protested. "What gave you such a false information."

"False information?" he asked back. "Is it?"
