“I spent three years falling in love with a man who was only using me to remember how to love someone else?”
Three years ago, Isadora Fenwick signed a contract neither she nor Rafael Ossorio wanted. No love, not even their choice, just two powerful families, an agreement and an expiration date she convinced herself would never matter.
Until it did.
He memorized her silences. Guarded her weaknesses like they were his own. Made her believe she had become more than a wife on paper.
She let herself believe she was finally chosen & loved unconditionally.
But she wasn’t.
Every tenderness she thought was hers had belonged to someone else first.
Rosalind Kane taught Rafael how to love long before Isadora ever entered his life. The medicine he remembered. The meals he tolerated. The quiet comfort he offered without being asked none of it was actually meant for her. She wasn’t the woman he fell for.
She was only living inside someone else’s love story.
Now Rosalind is back, and Isadora is nothing but the obstacle standing between Rafael and the life he always wanted.
The day Rafael places the divorce papers in front of her, Isadora signs without hesitation. No tears, no begging.
But on her way out, she hears Rosalind’s voice through the door:
“Now that she’s gone…. Can we finally tell her the truth about us?”
The truth is impossible. Rosalind Kane, the woman who stole her husband’s heart is her sister. The sister she was told died at birth.
And the worst betrayal of all? Rafael knew before he ever married her.
Determined to find out the truth, she disappeared. And let Madrid whisper about the wife no one saw coming.
