On the day of our engagement, just because Madison Calder wants to eat the ravioli my fiance Nicholas Olsen made, he decides to leave without hesitation. I can't help but try to stop him, but he slaps me across the face. "It's just an engagement party—we can have another one. What if Maddy starves?" Even my brother Brandon Lewis scolds me for being unreasonable. "You're older than Maddy. Can't you be more understanding?" I say nothing more and choose to let go and leave. They think I'm just throwing a tantrum and ignore me. They even clear their schedules just to take Madison on a vacation. It isn't until half a month later that they think to contact me, only to discover I have already joined a classified government weapons research program that will last ten years. Moreover, I have decided never to come home again. They completely panic.

The familiar voice came from ahead, and I looked up to see Brandon approaching with a bouquet of flowers in his arms. We hadn't seen each other in years, but he limped toward me with determined steps."I can't believe it's really you…" Brandon murmured, his eyes suddenly welling up. "Today's the anniversary of Mom's death. I didn't expect you to come too…"Nicholas had just stepped out of the car behind me, a little unsure as he asked, "Would it be alright if I visited her too?"Mom had been kind to him when she was alive. Thinking about it, he hadn't actually done her any wrong.So, I gave a slight nod. "Let's go together." Nicholas and Brandon's eyes lit up, and they exchanged glances, both seeing the surprised joy in each other's eyes. When we reached Mom's memorial site, they got down on their knees in front of her grave.They said solemnly, "We've hurt Adeline, and we know this won't erase our past actions. It took Madison leaving to finally see what we'd done wrong."As t

Outside the house, Madison's cries and shouts continued. Nicholas, feeling frustrated, started calling every number he could find for my college. Each call was answered quickly, but very few knew what program I had joined.Finally, a senior who shared my mentor, Kieran Brookes, picked up the phone. When he heard the reason behind the call, he simply said, "Oh, you mean Adeline Lewis? She really did join the program." A glimmer of hope flashed in Nicholas' eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know where she went? We'd like to contact her." Kieran sighed deeply. "That's not possible as this is a classified government research program that can't be made public, and those who have joined have absolutely no contact with the outside world." He added, "Remember what happened to Adeline's mom? She was allowed to stay in touch with the outside world, and that's how those criminals found her. She died along with them. The government won't risk another incident like that ever again.

Nicholas rushed into the guest room, only to find it just as messy as the day I left—nothing had been touched.Brandon followed close behind and frowned at the cluttered space. "What the hell? She still hasn't come back after all this time?"Madison felt somewhat speechless and instinctively tried to mediate with fake concern. "Adeline has always been a little dramatic. She'll probably come back once she's cooled off."Nicholas suddenly snapped, "Can you just be quiet for a second?"Madison was stunned for a moment, then began crying pitifully. "What did I say wrong? Isn't that how she's always been?"Nicholas' expression instantly turned frighteningly cold, and the anger in his heart intensified. He wondered if I really had always been that way. Usually, this would be the part where he hugged Madison and comforted her, like always. In his mind, Madison had always been the fragile girl who lived in hardship after losing her family. When he first met her, she had stood timidly

Even Brandon turned to Nicholas, disbelief written all over his face. "You burned it just like that?"Nicholas frowned impatiently. "You said we could throw out whatever we wanted. You're her brother, weren't you the one who said it didn't matter?"It was strange. I should've been furious, screaming and lashing out at both of them. Yet, what I felt wasn't rage—it was emptiness.Something inside me had finally broken for good, and I didn't bother listening to them argue over who was more to blame. Instead, I grabbed my suitcase and began packing.Madison watched me with barely hidden anticipation in her eyes, though her voice came out soft and pleading. "Adeline, don't go."She stumbled away from Nicholas' arms, held onto my hand, and dropped to her knees. "It's all my fault. I never meant to come between anyone. If someone has to leave, it should be me." Her crying grew louder, like I was the villain forcing her to walk away.Just as expected, Nicholas and Brandon's guilt vanis

My legs finally gave out, so I hailed a cab home. However, when I tried to unlock the front door, I realized the passcode had been changed.I keyed in Nicholas' birthday—nothing. So, I tried Madison's, but it was still wrong.Frustrated and exhausted, I fought off my drowsiness and called Nicholas

Ten minutes later, I finally pulled myself together and went inside. The private dining room was warm and cozy. Madison Calder wore a pale blue mini dress, and my brother, Brandon Lewis, was peeling grapes for her.As soon as Madison saw me, her eyes lit up, and her smile was dazzling. "Adeline, yo

"Adeline, are you sure you want to join the research program?" My mentor, Erica Graham, asked. Her eyes sparkled with hope, as she feared I might refuse again.She added, "You've always said you wanted to stay here, get married, and settle down. What made you change your mind?" I took the confide
