As the sole heiress of the Vance Group, I had been with my fiancé for three years and considered him my everything.
I naively believed I had found perfect love.
Until I lay on the hospital bed, suffering from acute gastric bleeding, and my fiancé finally dropped his pretense.
"I've long been fed up with you...a haughty princess."
"I've been with that intern for three years now, and we have twins."
"You were just a stepping stone for me to revive my family's fortunes. It would be best if you could just disappear quietly."
So, all those three years of sweet nothings had been lies. He loved someone else, and all he truly wanted was my family's money.
An excruciating pain washed over me, the heart monitor shrieked frantically, and I closed my eyes in despair.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back three years prior, on the very day my father had asked for my opinion on this marriage.

My father let out a deep sigh. "I never imagined Lucian could be such a person."


"People always wear masks, Dad," I said. "It's a good thing I saw the truth in time."


Liam came to my side, his hand gently taking mine. "You were incredible just now. So calm, resolute, and completely in command."


I looked up at him, a powerful wave of emotion suddenly washing over me. This man, he had never tried to control or exploit me; instead, he admired my strength and respected my decisions.


"Thank you for coming back, Liam," I whispered.


He leaned down, his voice a soft murmur in my ear, "My heart never left, Elara."


Father cleared his throat, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "I suppose I should give you two some privacy. Liam, please stay for dinner."
