The saying that sincerity will always get through if you try your best—
my mother was wrong.
My family never looked back at me, and my fiancé never loved me.
Realizing the truth after fourteen years of one-sided love… it hurt.

At the moment I wanted to leave everything behind,
the only person who reached out to me
was a beautiful man I met by chance on the street—
a war hero I saw at the victory banquet—
the Grand Duke of Vikander.

"Please, grant me the honor of having you, the most precious one to me."

One day, I took the Grand Duke’s hand and left everything behind.
And now—
the family who never cared,
the former fiancé who never once loved me,
are trying to hold onto Olivia.
But only now, when it's far too late.
