Chapter 1

I had been planning that world-tour wedding trip for two years.From Glaciera's glass house under the aurora to Solmare's glowing beaches, every detail had been carefully designed and refined again and again.It wasn't just a wedding. It was a promise for the rest of my life with my fiance, Ashton Fraser, paid for with half my heart.Now, it had all become a joke.I stood outside the study, trembling all over.Ashton's sister, Yvonne Fraser, was inside. "Ashton, are you out of your mind? That wedding trip is Laura's dream! You can't just cancel it!"Ashton sounded annoyed. "A world tour is exhausting. Laura's body can't handle it. A hotel wedding is simpler. Mariah was just helping out of kindness.""Kindness? More like a hidden agenda. You canceled the wedding for her sake. Did you even stop to consider how Laura would feel?""How would she feel?" He paused for a second before saying, "She’s madly in love with me. She's already given me half her heart. What's a wedding compare

The scar on my chest started to ache again, and even breathing felt difficult.The doctor had warned me before that emotional stress could trigger rejection in my transplanted heart.I quickly swallowed my pills and leaned on the couch, drenched in cold sweat.The whole house seemed to echo my uneven breathing, and my tears spilled again.I remembered three years ago, right after the proposal in Glaciera, I came down with a high fever the next day.Ashton stayed up all night by my side, clumsily making soup and carefully blowing on each spoonful to cool it before feeding me.He had said, "Laura, from now on, I'm putting you first for every single minute of every day."When he said it, his eyes were full of me. I had gotten shy and hid under the blanket, refusing to come out.I thought back even further, to when we first met at a famous overseas cathedral that tourists often checked off their lists.White doves scattered into the sky, and he walked straight into my camera frame

Ashton thought I was giving him the silent treatment and left me alone for two days.However, when he finally noticed how unusually quiet I had become, he even came home for dinner for once. Acting casual, he said, "By the way, for the wedding, I checked a few hotel options. They look pretty grand."I kept eating without responding.Ashton looked awkward and cleared his throat. "I mean, holding it here in Stroana is actually easier, right?"I put down my cutlery. "What are you trying to say?"He froze, a little embarrassed. "Nothing. Just chatting."The air turned stiff. Suddenly, I asked, "Ashton, do you remember the gear list we made for Glaciera? Time really flies. We'll be needing it soon."His gaze flickered, then he forced a smile. "Why are you bringing that up all of a sudden? Laura, those places are too far. It'll be too much for your body. Why don't we just do it at a top hotel in the city? Easy, and still impressive."Ashton quickly pulled out his phone. "Look at the

That night, I stood alone on the balcony, staring up at the night sky.On my phone, a local livestream popped up through the algorithm. The hosts were Mariah and Ashton.Mariah faced the camera with tearful eyes, smiling through her tears. "Ashton always brings me here. He says sweets make everything better when you're feeling down."Then, she changed tone. "Such a great guy is about to get married, but his fiancee just doesn't know how to appreciate him. She keeps making a fuss over small things and throwing tantrums in front of his friends. It's really hard for Ashton to be stuck in the middle."The camera shifted slightly. Ashton was sitting right beside her.He took a tissue and gently wiped her tears. Then, he scooped up a piece of cake and naturally fed it to her.Mariah blushed as she ate it, and he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes."Stop overthinking."His voice came through the mic a little muffled, but every word still landed straight in my chest."Even afte

On the final day of the wedding countdown, Ashton finally called. His voice was cautious. "Laura, are you still mad? I've been tied up with work and haven't been home for a few days. I've been working overtime every night."My tone was calm. "No."He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone brightened instantly. "Good. By the way, you've confirmed the wedding schedule, right?""Yeah."With a smirk, I glanced at the packed suitcase in the corner.Ashton sounded fully relaxed now. He even sounded a little pleased. "Alright. Go to bed early. I'll pick you up tomorrow."The next day, his call came again.He sounded panicked. "Laura, go to the venue yourself first! Mariah's period cramps are really bad. I have to take her to the hospital first.""Okay," I replied flatly. At the same time, I signaled for my friend to load my luggage into the car.Ashton paused on the other end, clearly not expecting my reaction. "Don't overthink it. She just—""Just go," I interrupted gently. "Don't

Laura's POVStep by step, I walked toward my groom, Rylen Pierce. He was my first love and the regret of my youth.When I was 17, his family fell apart, and he was forced to leave. I thought I would never see him again in this lifetime.Two years ago, Ashton once again stood me up at my engagement party for Mariah. Having undergone a heart transplant, I was strictly forbidden from any form of emotional distress. I nearly blacked out and lost my balance.Rylen was the one who caught me.Through the haze, someone held my hand tightly, begging me not to fall asleep.When I woke up, I learned it was Rylen who recognized me and fought to bring in top specialists, pulling me back from the edge.I looked up and met a pair of eyes filled with panic and relief.My body shook in pain. "Rylen, you're too late. I think I'm dying."He wrapped me tightly in his coat, repeating over and over, "You'll be fine."I couldn't speak. Tears just kept falling on their own."Why are you crying? I'm

Ashton called at noon the next day. There were no flights left that day, so he couldn't rush over.He leaned against a bookshelf, and his voice was hoarse. "Laura, just because I canceled the world-tour wedding trip and changed it to a local wedding, you went and married someone else? You're tossing away five years of our relationship just like that? Laura, stop being ridiculous."I listened quietly before replying calmly, "Ashton, you've got it all wrong. I'm not trying to spite you, and I'm not being ridiculous. I really did get married."His breathing hitched on the other end. "No way… Even if you're trying to get back at me, you can't just marry a stranger."I looked at the man beside me, who was still asleep, and smiled faintly. "Rylen isn't a stranger. We've known each other for almost 20 years. You're not the only one who has a childhood sweetheart who cares about you. I do too."Ashton murmured, "No… You must still be angry because of Mariah, right?""Ashton," I cut him o

Our next stop was Lucerra's snow-capped hot springs.Steam drifted through the air. I leaned against Rylen's shoulder, watching snowflakes fall silently into the water.Suddenly, the phone Rylen had left by the poolside vibrated.He glanced at it, then shot upright. He looked again, more carefully this time, before turning to me.His voice trembled, but his eyes were filled with barely contained joy. "Laura, we found it! A matching heart donor!"I froze. It turned out Rylen had held onto the extravagant hope I'd never dared to voice all this time."Forget about the hot springs. We're going back."He immediately stood and wrapped a towel around me urgently. "Let's get you to surgery right away! I don't want to wait another second."…Outside the operating room, Rylen held my hand tightly. His voice was breaking. "Don't be scared. I'll be right here. I won't leave your side. Laura, you have to come out of this safely. I still owe you a complete honeymoon."I smiled at him weakl

A month later, Ashton posted on Instagram. The location was tagged as Glaciera.In the photo, he stood alone on a black sand beach. Waves were crashing behind him. The caption read, "If this is where it ends, then so be it."Rylen frowned. "He's lost it! Hiking in that kind of weather is suicide!"With a flick of my finger, I posted a scathing rebuttal directly in his comments section. "You almost died being stupid once. Doing it again just proves you're an idiot."With that, I blocked him.Rylen wrapped his arms around me from behind, resting his chin on my head. "You're really not worried?""His life is his. Mine is mine. We have nothing to do with each other."Late that night, Ashton called.I answered but didn't speak.His voice came through, broken by the wind and waves. "Laura… I just wanted to hear your voice… This is the last time… please…"I cut him off. "Are you done?"He choked, and his breathing turned uneven. "You really… don't feel anything at all? You won't ev
