Ketika ayahku menyuruhku untuk memilih calon suami dari kakak beradik Keluarga Lukarta, yang juga merupakan teman masa kecilku, aku memilih Levi Lukarta. Alasannya hanya karena dia adalah pria yang diam-diam kucintai selama 13 tahun. Namun, pada hari pernikahan kami, adik tiri Levi melompat dari atap hotel. Dia meninggalkan surat yang ditulis dengan darah. Isinya adalah mendoakan aku dan Levi memiliki pernikahan yang penuh cinta dan kebahagiaan. Pada saat ini, aku baru tahu bahwa mereka telah saling mencintai secara diam-diam selama bertahun-tahun. Di resepsi pernikahan, Levi langsung kehilangan kendali diri. Dia mengumumkan bahwa dirinya akan memutuskan hubungan dengan dunia luar, lalu meninggalkanku berdiri di sana tanpa daya. Sejak saat itu, dia menghabiskan hidupnya menemani pelita abadi adik tirinya untuk menebus dosanya. Aku membencinya karena telah menipuku, tetapi masih berpegang teguh pada pernikahan ini sehingga kami saling menyiksa. Sampai kami diculik, demi menyelamatkanku, dia mati bersama penculik. Sebelum meninggal, dia menatapku dan berkata, "Shannon, aku yang salah karena sudah sembunyikan hal itu darimu. Tapi, nyawaku dan nyawa adikku sudah cukup untuk menebusnya, 'kan? Di kehidupan selanjutnya, ingatlah untuk jangan memilihku." Ketika membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari ketika ayahku menyuruhku memilih tunangan. Kali ini, aku dengan tegas memilih kakak laki-lakinya, Liam Lukarta.
