While I try on various wedding rings, my fiance, Don Demetrio Farese, who has tagged along, suddenly snatches the ring from my fingertip. "You already lost a finger, Lucia. The ring will look ugly on you. Carlotta, on the other hand, looks beautiful with a ring on her finger." Then, Demetrio fishes out a photo featuring him sinking down on one knee while sliding a ring onto Carlotta Rini's finger. My chest tightens. "What are you trying to say?" "Let Carlotta wear the wedding ring. You've already lost a finger anyway—you don’t need it." Pain slowly spreads from my chest to the rest of my body. For a moment, I almost lose my balance. The truth is, Demetrio's mortal enemy is the one who severed my finger by shooting at it. Back then, I only got shot because I had shielded Demetrio from the bullet.

« Laisse-moi être ta véritable épouse pendant un seul mois, Daven. » Cela a été une demande simple - presque modeste - qui a résonné comme la dernière supplique d'une femme au cœur brisé. Mais pour Althea Grayson, ce n'était pas une faiblesse. C'était sa fierté. Le prix qu'elle a réclamé pour l'amour qu'elle a donné sans jamais, pas une seule fois, le recevoir en retour. Elle le savait dès le début : leur mariage n'a jamais été une histoire d'amour. Daven Callister l'a épousée par devoir, sous la pression de sa grand-mère. Il n'y avait ni étreintes tendres ni regards amoureux – seulement un silence glacial et une grande maison vide qui n'avait jamais eu l'air d'un vrai foyer. Pourtant, Althea s'est accrochée. Elle essayait d'être une bonne épouse, gardant toujours l'espoir qu'un jour, le cœur de Daven finirait par s'adoucir. Mais cet espoir a été brisé par une trahison - Daven a annoncé son plan d'épouser une autre femme - celle qu'il aimait vraiment. L'opinion d'Althea ? On s'en fout. Toute sa famille soutenait la décision de Daven. Désillusionnée et cœur brisé, Althea a formulé une dernière requête : un mois à être aimée comme une vraie épouse. Un seul mois… avant qu'elle ne parte pour toujours. Daven a cru que c'était un geste désespéré – pathétique, même. Mais ce mois unique a tout changé. La façon dont Althea souriait, dont elle l'aimait sans retenue. Même la façon dont elle est partie – en laissant derrière elle quelque chose qui s'est incrusté dans le cœur de Daven. Et désormais, Daven s'est retrouvé perdu. Alors que l'amour, qu'il n'avait jamais reconnu, se révélait enfin… était-il déjà trop tard ? Ou devait-il se battre contre tout, rien que pour une dernière chance ?
