Let My Death Complete Your Rhythm
My fiancé proposes to my stepsister in front of everyone at our engagement party. Heartbroken, I leave home, only to be pursued by Jude Pearson, heir to an international medical group and a surgeon rumored to have zero interest in women. After six months of passionate pursuit, I accept his proposal. For seven years, he's been the perfect husband—gentle, considerate, always putting me first. Then I overhear his phone call with his mother: "Since I couldn't marry Thalia, it doesn't matter who I married instead. I'll keep playing this role forever. As long as I'm around, she'll never be able to intrude upon Thalia's happiness." The truth hits like a knife—our entire marriage is a lie. He gave up the family business to become a surgeon solely to treat my stepsister's heart condition. Our years together are just his way of protecting her from afar. If that's the case, I'll disappear from their world and let my absence be their happy ending.
