My attempt to win over the lovestruck second male lead failed. I wanted to change his fate from suicide due to unrequited love for the female lead.
What truly left me in despair was that he left our engagement party simply because of her phone call."
After everyone left, I stood alone on the top terrace of the Vale family.
I kept asking the system if destroying this body meant I could go home.
With the system's yes, I moved towards the railing.
After two steps, I heard a chuckle came from behind.
I turned around to find that it was Ash Phoenix, my adopted brother.
I rescued him from a trash heap at seven.We depended on each other for our lives until his wealthy parents took him back at fourteen.
By our next meeting, he became one of Serena's avid suitors.
The care I showed by working three jobs for his education briefly moved him at our reunion.
After he saw me as the jealous villain around Serena, mockery and caution replaced his warmth.
When I was engaged to Darius, news of Serena's kidnapping arrived.It lead to the dispersal of the party, including my fiancé.
He even warned me before leaving, "you're finished if you are responsible for this."
This was the hundredth time he left me for Serena since I entered this book.
Therefore the system marked me as a failure.
His devotion for Serena always had its reasons.
It's my arrogance that makes me feel like I can accomplish his redemption.
With this thought, I no longer looked at Ash with kindness.
"I don't know why you're here, but better stay out of my business," I said. "You might miss wooing your goddess."
The so-called kidnapping was just a plot by Serena and her family.
They aimed to ruin my wedding with Darius.
When everyone had left my wedding, Serena would surely appeared unscathed.
