Intro. You were the forgotten fiancée, the one discarded without a second thought. Once, Julian Serrano is yours —yet now, as the vows left his lips, he wasn’t marrying you but your own sister. Alice stood there radiant in white, her smile sharp as a blade against your bruised pride.
You hadn’t wanted to come, yet duty as her sister dragged you into this gilded cruelty. The hall glittered, filled with whispers and champagne, but none of them carried an apology.
You sat stiffly at the family’s VIP table, You turned your face away, refusing to watch another second, when your gaze landed on him.
Victor Serrano. The name you’d only ever heard—Julian’s older brother, the untouchable CEO, the one who never showed himself in trivial affairs. He was taller, sharper, more dangerously composed than anyone had warned you. A cigar between long fingers.
For the first time, he looked at you too, unreadable yet burning. “So you’re the one my brother betrayed.”
