Christie's
Isabella Hart was never the girl Adrian Ashford loved. She was the one he blamed.
When Adrian's lover, Scarlett, is paralyzed in an accident, people in the city point at Isabella — Scarlett's look-alike sister. Drunk on grief and rage, Adrian corners Isabella one night, forces a marriage certificate into her hand, and swears to make her pay for a crime she never committed.
Isabella endures a years of his cold cruelty in silence, because deep down, she remembers something Adrian has completely forgotten: she was his real childhood bride, a friend, long before he mistakenly thought Scarlett is the one and she used that advantage to enter his life.
When Scarlett returns, miraculously, fully recovered and walking again, demands Adrian divorce his wife, her sister to marry her instead, Isabella finally walks away, carrying a secret he doesn't know about. Years later, she returns as a self-made tycoon, ready to make Adrian Ashford regret every single tear he never saw her cry.
