Chapter 1

Arthur followed me and grabbed my wrist."Wendy, I can explain. Don't forget, we're getting married tomorrow."I pulled my hand away. "Explain what? That you're my sister's ex-boyfriend? Or why you two were together tonight?"Arthur paused."When Clara left that suicide note and disappeared, I honestly thought she was dead. I didn't see any reason to bring up the past."I only found out tonight that she's been abroad getting treatment on her own all these years. She's been through a lot."My gaze fell to his collar. A lipstick stain stood out against it.My stomach turned. I let out a bitter laugh. "So you feel sorry for her after everything she's been through? Now she's back, and you two can't wait to get back together?"Arthur's expression changed. "Wendy, after everything I've done for you, can't you tell how I feel? Don't you trust me?""How am I supposed to trust you, Arthur?" I asked slowly, meeting his eyes.Arthur rubbed his brow wearily, his voice softening. "Okay. Let me take

In the hotel lobby, the manager hurried over and handed me a glass of water."Mr. Whitman called a car for you. Please have a seat while you wait."My heart softened a little. Arthur had always been thoughtful.From the day he started pursuing me, he made sure I got home safely after every date. He always held the umbrella over me, even if it meant getting wet himself. He set reminders for my period and kept painkillers and heating pads ready.I'd thought that was love.Now I understood. He'd been using me to make up for losing Clara.My phone kept buzzing. A video appeared in the family group chat. Dad held up his phone and shouted, "Welcome home, our princess!"Mom joined in. "Our family's finally together again."Clara sat on the living room couch wearing a crown and holding a cake that read "The One and Only Princess."I stared at the words "One and Only." My eyes stung.So I'd always been an outsider in this family.I wiped away my tears, left the group chat, and made a call."Rya

At the hotel, I tried to pay the deposit with my debit card, but the screen flashed "Insufficient funds."I tried again. Same result. I opened my banking app and saw that years of savings had been transferred out in three payments. Every one had gone to Clara...I called Mom right away. "Did you take money from my account?" I demanded.She spoke as if she had every right to the money. "Your sister just got back, and she's so frail. That money will pay for her treatment and recovery."I couldn't believe it. "You didn't even ask me before taking my money?"She sounded impatient. "Why are you being so petty? We're family. What's wrong with helping your sister?"She hung up before I could answer. My hands shook so badly that it took me three tries to call Arthur.Large transfers required a PIN, and Arthur was the only other person who knew mine.When he answered, I took a deep breath and asked coldly, "Did you give my mom my PIN so she could send all my money to Clara?"Arthur was silent f

At the hospital, Clara lay in bed while Mom sat beside her with tears in her eyes, looking heartbroken.I stood in the doorway and watched them coldly.Mom caught sight of me out of the corner of her eye and started yelling. "You little monster, your sister only tried on your wedding dress, and you drove her to this!"Is it really that hard for you to have her around?!"Arthur never would have looked at you if it weren't for your sister. She's been generous enough not to hold it against you, and instead of being grateful, you keep going after her!"Her accusations left me numb. To them, I was Clara's replacement. Everything I had belonged to her.Now that she was back, they expected me to hand it all over.Clara slowly came to and leaned weakly against the headboard. "That's enough, Mom. Don't blame Wendy. It's my fault for being so weak..."She began coughing again before she could finish, as if she might cough herself to death.Dad rushed over and gently patted her back. Arthur hover

Four hours before the wedding, Arthur texted me. "Wendy, Clara says she won't hold last night against you. Apologize to her after the wedding, and we'll put it behind us."I stared at the message and smiled coldly. Then I slowly typed "Okay" and hit send.Apologize? I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when the truth comes out.I arrived at the wedding venue on time, wearing plain slacks instead of a wedding dress.Arthur frowned at my clothes. When he saw Clara's name on the welcome sign, he looked even more disappointed."Wendy, haven't you made enough of a scene? What's this supposed to mean?"I pulled away from him and walked onto the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wedding of Arthur and Clara."The banquet hall fell silent."Clara is my sister and Arthur's ex-girlfriend. This wedding should have been theirs all along."I'm stepping aside so my sister and my fiancé can finally be together."Now, let's all take a look at their love story."Photos appeared on the

When the plane landed in New York, I turned on my phone. It froze under the flood of messages.Arthur had sent 47.They went from "Wendy, where are you?" to "I was wrong. Please come back."I deleted the whole conversation without reading it.Mom had sent more than 20 voice messages. My parents knew the truth by now and were desperate to find me.I didn't listen to a single one. I blocked Arthur and both my parents.Friends told me the wedding had ended in chaos.Arthur and Clara hadn't married after all.I didn't care. The first thing on my list was new clothes.Clothes that actually felt like me.I cut my hair short, too. I didn't have to copy anyone anymore.Soon after I started work, Ryan came to New York on business and stopped by the branch."Wendy, I don't care about a person's background when I hire them. I care about what they can do. The New York branch is just getting started, and I want results within three months."Can you deliver?"I nodded. "Yes."He changed the subject.

Arthur was waiting outside my office building. He looked nothing like the man I'd known."Wendy, after four years together, can't you give me ten minutes to explain?"I stopped and looked at him quietly.He smoothed his messy hair, searching for words."When Clara disappeared, I believed she'd died. I felt guilty for years."When I met you, I wasn't looking for a stand-in. You and Clara may look alike, but you're completely different people. I wanted to marry you."Clara contacted me a while ago. She said she'd left because she was sick and didn't want to hold me back. I believed her. She cried, and I let my sympathy get the better of me. But Wendy, you're the one I've always loved."After the wedding, I looked into it. You were right. She was never sick. She left because she thought I was too poor."When she heard I was about to take over my dad's company, she came back for me."My expression didn't change. "So what?"Arthur stepped closer, his eyes red."I know I was wrong. I promise

Later, I heard Clara was pregnant. She went to Arthur, claimed the baby was his, and demanded that he take responsibility."I'm not marrying you. Wendy is the only woman I'll ever marry."Besides..." He paused and looked at Clara with regret. "We ended things long ago. That's in the past.""What?" Clara screamed, her eyes filling with tears. "Arthur, if you don't love me, why did you sleep with me?"Arthur tried to answer, but Clara talked over him."I'm keeping this baby, and you're marrying me."With a baby on the way, Arthur felt he had no choice but to agree to marry her.Clara made a big production of it, picking out a wedding dress, booking a venue, and sending invitations to everyone.But thankfully, people like her don't get away with it forever.She got what was coming to her soon enough.As soon as I arrived in New York, I'd had someone look into Clara's seven years abroad.She'd been the other woman more than once and had conned more than one man out of his money.Eventually

The video of the fight quickly went viral, and everyone who knew Clara and Arthur recognized them.Shares of the Whitman Group plunged three days in a row.Arthur's father, Richard Whitman, called him into his office. "Look at the mess you've made."You let one woman lead you around by the nose. How can I trust you with the company?"Go home and think about what you've done. I'm giving all your projects to your brother!"Arthur didn't try to defend himself.My parents saw the video, too. Relatives took turns calling to gloat.Strangers stared at them in the street, and the neighbors laughed behind their backs.Dad smoked one cigarette after another while Mom cried. She couldn't believe she'd raised such a shameless daughter, or that she'd hurt me again and again for her sake until I gave up on the family for good!After that, Clara vanished again.Then one day, Mom got a call from the bank."Ma'am, there's been a large transfer from your account..."Mom thought it was a scam. "What tra

Meanwhile, my career was thriving.By the end of the year, the New York branch's results were three times what we'd expected.I flew back to headquarters to report our results, and the company held a welcome-back dinner for me.When I walked into the banquet hall, I saw Arthur standing in the middle of the room.The Whitman Group's numbers had been falling for years, and he wanted to discuss a partnership with our company.He'd lost weight, and his suit hung loose on him.He came over as soon as he saw me."Wendy, I know I have no right to ask you for anything."But the company won't survive much longer. For old times' sake, please consider us first for a partnership."I looked at him."Arthur, whether or not there's still anything between us is beside the point."This is business. We have to keep our personal lives out of it."The next day, Richard brought Arthur to my office to ask me to reconsider.Out of respect for Arthur's father, I had my assistant show them in.Richard took my
