Sarah kept refreshing her phone for the setup photos her friend was sending over.Roses had been laid out into a massive heart.A row of warm yellow fairy lights was strung right down the center of a flower wall.And draped across the very top was a bold, unmissable sign. "Will you marry me?" "My friend said my boyfriend's sister even came out to help decorate," Sarah said.She tapped on a photo and held it out toward me. "It's so late at night, and she's still willing to help. I definitely need to take her out for a nice dinner tomorrow."In the picture, a woman in a white knit dress was looking up, directing the crew on how to adjust the marquee lights.She was turned sideways. Dangling from her ear was the pearl earring I had gifted her last year.Even through a blurry screen, I could recognize her in a heartbeat.That was Felicia Stein, Ryan's little sister.She was also my college roommate of four years, a close friend I'd known for 11 whole years.She was the one who

The moment the plane touched down, Sarah immediately unlocked her phone to notify Felicia.Notifications popped up one after another in rapid succession."Make sure you don't use the VIP lane. Come out through Exit 2. Ryan and I are both here. Remember to pretend you don't suspect a thing so the surprise stays perfect."The very last text had been sent three minutes ago. "My dear sister-in-law, we're waiting for you."That title made Sarah's cheeks flush crimson in an instant.She pressed her phone against her chest, smiling like a child who'd just been given a piece of candy. "She's already calling me her sister-in-law."Standing behind her, I stared at those three words.Seven years ago, when Felicia called me sister-in-law for the first time, Ryan had handed her a thick money envelope.She had clung to me back then, refusing to let go and asking me to be her sister-in-law for the rest of her life.Now, after just five years into our marriage, she had already scouted out a r

Ryan stayed silent for a few long seconds. "My marriage with her has been dead in the water for a long time."He didn't look at me when he said it."There's nothing left between us except a piece of paper."He reduced seven years of my devotion, the house I mortgaged for him, and all the sacrifices I made to build his company from the ground up to nothing more than a piece of paper.Felicia chimed in frantically, "Sarah, Ryan has always loved you! He just hasn't found the right time to wrap things up with his marriage yet.""The right time?" I turned my gaze to her. "You mean after the proposal or after she moves into my house?"Felicia bit her lip. "Ella, you can't force love. Ryan hasn't been happy all these years. If you really loved him, don't go ruining the happiness he fought so hard to find."A sudden laugh escaped my lips. "Just this morning, you said you want me to be your sister-in-law for life. And now you're asking me to step aside for your new one?"Felicia's face

I looked down at Ryan's hand clamped tight around my wrist.His knuckles turned white with tension, as if as long as he held on tightly enough, the baby and I would still belong to him."Let go," I said."Come home with me first."Ryan stared fixedly at my stomach, his tone leaving zero room for argument. "You're in no state to be on your own right now."A sudden laugh escaped my lips. "Before you knew about the baby, you couldn't wait for me to vanish. Now that you know I'm pregnant, suddenly you care whether I can handle being on my own?""Those are two completely different things," he retorted."No, they aren't. In your eyes, both the baby and I are just bargaining chips you can weigh against each other."I pried hard at his fingers, but he only tightened his grip. "The baby is mine. You can't just take them away without my consent."Felicia happened to come running back in from outside the exit.Hearing his words, she skidded to an abrupt halt. "A baby? Ella, you're pregn

Three days later, Sarah reached out and asked to meet.By the time I arrived at the cafe, she was already sitting in a quiet corner.She wore no makeup; her eyes were red and swollen, and the white suitcase with the bear sticker rested right beside her feet.The moment she saw me, she scrambled to her feet in a hurry. "Ella, I am so sorry.""You don't need to apologize on Ryan's behalf.""But I hurt you too," she choked out, her fingers twisting together tightly."I showed you all his voice messages, the ring design, and the proposal vows on the plane. I even dragged you to the scene."Tears dripped onto the back of her hand. "I can't imagine how painful that must have been for you."I recalled the sour candy she had handed me on the flight.Before she knew the truth, her kindness toward me—a total stranger—was entirely genuine."You had no idea I was his wife. None of this was your fault," I said.Sarah reached into her bag and pulled out the deep blue ring box. "Felicia br
