Chapter 1

On the day I was supposed to meet Celine's parents, I waited with my own family at the hotel for eight hours. She never showed.

I did everything I could to stall, to buy her more time.

Then I saw her Instagram story.

The soft glow of a crystal chandelier illuminated her face, her smile radiating pure happiness.

Sitting next to her was him―her first love, just back from abroad.

In that moment, something inside me went cold. I finally let go.

But after I gave up, she was the one who came back filled with regret.
