In that moment, when Irvin was at his lowest, I forgot everything else.

I forgot the doubts, the pain, the fear of being tied to someone connected to Julianne. All I could see was a broken man who needed me. So I promised him.

I promised I would never leave him. I promised I would love him forever.

For a time, he was everything to me. He treated me so well, day after day, that my love for him grew until it consumed me. I couldn’t imagine life without him. I was willing to do anything for him.

And then, just when I thought we had finally found our happiness, Julianne came back.

The man who once made me feel like I was his entire world changed overnight.

The Irvin who once put me above everyone else now couldn’t stop putting Julianne first. For her, he began to hurt me- over again.

I didn’t understand.

over and

How could someone so full of love suddenly become so indifferent? How could someone who once made me feel like I was his one and only suddenly stop loving me?

I asked him why. I asked him what had changed, why he no longer cared about me. Had he ever loved me at all? Or had it always been Julianne?

He only said I should face the consequences if I made a mistake. But when I asked him what I did wrong to make him treat me like this, Irvin never answered.

Instead, he would say, coldly and impatiently, that there was nothing between him and Julianne. He’d tell me not to overthink it, that his kindness toward her was natural, and if I couldn’t handle it, that was my problem.

Looking back now, I realized the truth.

Julianne must have shown him that video when she first returned. That video made him believe I was a terrible person, someone unworthy of his love. And from then on, his attitude toward me changed completely.

But deep down, I knew the real reason. He simply didn’t love me enough.

If he had truly loved me, he wouldn’t have believed someone else so easily. He wouldn’t have kept it to himself even if he thought I’d done something wrong. He would have told me what I had done and tried to understand.

I shifted my gaze to Julianne, who stood across the room.

If that video were real, if I had really drugged her and ruined her life, would someone as vindictive as Julianne have let me live in peace all these years? Would she not have destroyed me the moment she had proof?

I studied her face, searching for a crack in her façade. But Julianne, as if sensing my suspicion, lowered her gaze. She avoided looking at me, giving me no chance to see the truth in her eyes.

Jeremy, noticing my silence and my stare, grew impatient.

“Emilia! Stop looking at Julianne like that. Even if she wanted to let you off, the rest of us won’t. This time, you’re going to jail!”

“That’s right!” Dad chimed in, his tone resolute. “You should’ve been locked up two years ago!”

Mom, Dad, and Jeremy were adamant about wanting me punished.

Ironically, the one person I least expected to defend me–Irvin–was the only one trying to stop them.

Irvin had hurt me in countless ways, had chosen Julianne over me time and time again, and was now standing up for me.

“Catherine, Henty, please don’t do this,” Irvin said, his voice steady but firm. “Emilia didn’t mean to do any harm. She acted out of jealousy, but I believe she’ll ealize her mistakes and make amends if you give her time.”

His words immediately drew sharp protests from my parents.
