Chapter 1

As soon as I arrived at the airport, I headed straight for the private VIP lounge of my younger sister, Noelle Lynch.I threw the door open. The two people, tangled together on the couch and locked in a passionate kiss, were so startled they rolled right off onto the floor.The furious snarl from my fiance, Jeremy Morgan, was cut off the instant his eyes met my restrained gaze."Nico? What are you doing here?" he asked, his fingers scrambling to refasten the buttons that had just come undone.Beside him, Noelle made no move to cover her bare torso. She only looked up at me, the picture of wounded innocence. "Nico—""Don't call me that!"It took everything I had not to charge over and slap her across the face. "Noelle Lynch, screwing around with your own sister's fiance. How low can you get?"But the moment the words were out, Jeremy—who had looked guilty only seconds before—went cold. "Nicolette Lynch, there's no need to make it sound so ugly."He bent down, gathered the clot

I screamed at him, completely hysterical, "I want to know when my fiance fell in love with my own sister. Are you really telling me that doesn't matter?"Jeremy's brow furrowed instantly, and he looked at me as if I were a madwoman. "We'll talk when you've calmed down."With that, he turned to leave.I immediately grabbed his arm. "No. We're talking right now."His patience finally snapped. He wrenched his arm free, his voice rising sharply. "Nicolette, don't act like you're the only innocent victim here. We've been together for ten whole years, and I could count our real dates on both hands."He sneered. "Weren't you the one who asked me to look after Noelle? You have no one to blame but yourself for how things turned out.""I asked you to look after Noelle," I spat, my eyes burning red as tears streamed uncontrollably down my face. "I didn't ask you to look after her in bed!"Jeremy just stood there, watching me silently."But Nico, I'm tired."His voice softened, heavy wi

"All right, everyone, let's get back to work. We're doing a team dinner after we close up tonight. It's on me," I said, trying to lighten the mood.With that, I turned and walked back into my office.The second the lock clicked, I slid down against the door. Jeremy's words kept replaying in my head, one after another."Nico, the moment Noelle's pageant is over, we'll get married.""Nico, your dream is my dream. I'll always have your back.""Nico, you're the only one I'll ever love."It turned out that every single word had been a lie.I raised a hand to my cheek and realized that somewhere along the way, I had started crying. My face was already wet with tears.Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a text from Noelle."Nico, I'm so sorry. But I really do love him. Growing up, no one was ever better to me than you. You always let me have anything I wanted. So just this once, I'm begging you, please let us be together, okay?"I stared at the words, suddenly wanting to

"Nicolette, I never imagined you could be this vicious. You can't have me, so now you want to destroy Noelle and me too? I won't let you get away with it.""Nicolette, you're the one who pushed us to do this."I frowned at the texts, having no idea what game the two of them were playing—until early the next morning, when Noelle updated her social media.It was a photo. There I was, standing in the doorway of an airport lounge. The door was wide open, and inside, Jeremy and Noelle were half-undressed.Her caption read, "For years, I've lived in my sister's shadow. She forced me to live out her dreams and become whatever she wanted me to be. The only choice I ever made for myself was marrying the man I love, but she couldn't accept it. "She's been stalking me and threatening to destroy me. All I ever wanted was to live a normal life. Why is that so hard?"Jeremy followed right behind her with a long post of his own."I never wanted to make things between Nico and me public, but n

But what did I get in return for all my devotion to Noelle?She turned my fiance into her husband. She reframed ten years of my devotion as a "shadow". She forged chat logs to make me look like a lunatic.Well played.I opened a hidden folder on my laptop. Inside were Noelle's medical records from the past three years, her psychotherapy logs, and photos of the original documents proving she had once forged a medical certificate.There had been a show she didn't feel like doing, so she faked a diagnosis of depression to get out of it.The signature and stamp on that certificate belonged to a contact of mine—a department head who had written it as a personal favor to me.Yet she had taken that fake certificate to Jeremy, crying that the pressure of work had pushed her into a depression.Jeremy swallowed it whole, utterly beside himself with worry.That very night, he turned to me and said, "Nico, stop pushing Noelle so hard. Her health can't take it."Looking back, they were alr

It was drizzling the day I landed in Palai. Over the loudspeakers at Lumiere International Airport, a voice droned flight information in Palaine.I wheeled my suitcase out into the gray with no hotel booked and no idea where I was headed.For the first time in ten years, I had no one's schedule to manage but my own.My phone buzzed twice in my pocket. It was Jeremy.I declined the call without hesitation.He called again immediately, and I declined again.Then Noelle's name flashed across the screen. I didn't bother answering her either.Exasperated, I blocked them both. But the phone rang anyway.I pulled it out to check. It was an unknown number. This time, I answered."Is this Ms. Lynch? My name is Sophie Anderson, the editorial director of Palai Fashion. I saw the evidence you posted online—""I'm not doing interviews," I cut her off."No, you misunderstand. I'm calling to ask if you'd be willing to come work in Palai."Her words caught me off guard.Sophie told me she

I let three seconds of silence hang on the line before hanging up.It wasn't that I had gone soft. I just found Jeremy's words laughable.The wedding dress I had chosen so carefully, the wedding I had planned down to the smallest detail—he had handed all of it to Noelle.Even the house we had bought together to start our married life ended up being someone else's home—not mine.He had married my younger sister. And now he was telling me I was the one he had loved all along.Did he really think so little of me? That one small show of remorse would be enough to make me come crawling back?That evening, Sophie dragged me out to a fashion party.It was held at a gallery overlooking the river, and I didn't recognize most of the guests. I stood in a corner nursing a glass of champagne, watching all those polished, glamorous Palaians laugh and talk over one another in rapid Parrisene.That was when I saw him.He was standing at the far end of the gallery in a cream linen suit, leanin

Chapter 8

Stephane offered only a few brief words of comfort, but they were enough to make my eyes prickle with tears.As we spent more time together, Stephane made an effort to remember my preferences and made space for my moods.He watched the sun rise and set over Palai with me. And when my spirits dipped now and then, he simply stayed close—quiet, gentle, and healing.Three months later, I moved into Stephane's apartment in Palai's 15th Arrondissement.It wasn't large, but it had a wide balcony with a view of the Aurelle Tower in the distance.He had filled that balcony with roses and lavender, and every morning he'd cut a single stem and leave it on my pillow.During that time, Jeremy texted me every single day.He cycled through numbers—sometimes a local Palai number, sometimes one from back home, sometimes adding me from a throwaway account on social media.I'd block one, and he'd surface with another.The messages went from apologies to begging, from begging to hysterics, and fi

Stephane and I set our wedding for early October at an old castle on the outskirts of Palai.It wasn't a grand, sprawling fortress, but it was beautifully ancient. Thick vines crawled up the weathered stone walls, and the courtyard overflowed with white hydrangeas.Stephane's family filled the space with warmth. His father had traveled all the way from Lior just to cook an authentic hometown dish in the castle kitchen.Meanwhile, his mother held my hand and talked endlessly. She playfully warned me that Stephane had never known how to charm a girl, even as a child, so I would just have to be patient with him.Sophie was my maid of honor."You're the coolest bride I've ever seen," she said. "After getting betrayed by a scumbag, you ran off to Palai, built a career, and picked up a Palaian husband along the way."I chuckled. "He's mixed, actually. Half Amritsan.""Even better! Then you two never have to fight over whose family to spend the holidays with."The whole room laughed.

Chapter 10

The day after the wedding, my phone blew up. Friends back home sent me a flood of screenshots. Noelle had posted a long statement on her social media, confessing to everything—forging the chat logs, faking the medical records, and seducing her own sister's fiance.She wrote, "My sister was too good to me. So good that I couldn't stand the thought of her marrying someone else. She could only ever belong to me. That's why I decided to take her man from her. That way, I would be the only one she ever cared about."At the very end of the post, she added, "I'm sorry, Nicolette. I hope you'll be happy."I read it three times, then forwarded the screenshots to Stephane.He was in the kitchen brewing coffee. He leaned out and glanced at my phone. "What are you going to reply?""Nothing.""That's the right call," he said, bringing the coffee over. "What she owes you can't be paid back with a simple apology."I took the cup and sipped. It was bitter.Outside the window, day was breakin
