His Heart Is Another's
My fiancé leaves me jilted on our wedding day and marries my sister.
As I stand there, feeling humiliated, William Sterling gets on one knee before me and asks me to marry him.
Everyone in my city knows of him—he's an elite bachelor and every woman's dream. Yet now, he slips a wedding band onto my ring finger and confesses his love for me. "I've always loved you, and I thank the heavens for giving me the chance to spend my life with you."
We get married, and he treats me well. Everyone knows that he won't fall for anyone other than me.
Everything changes when I accidentally enter his studio in the seventh year of our marriage.
I see that he's painted thousands of portraits of my sister, Ivy Winslow. Each one is a tender confession of his love for her.
The man I love with all my heart earnestly prays to the heavens and utters his wish. He's willing to sacrifice anything for Ivy to be happy, including his life.
It turns out what I thought was seven years of love was nothing but a lie. Ivy is the one he's loved all along.
If that's the case, I'll back out. I'll leave in three days, and I hope he and Ivy can be happy together.
