They held a simple ceremony under the sky, vowing themselves as husband and wife.
When sick with fever, they clung to each other for warmth.
They…
“Enough.”
I cut the bodyguard off, narrowing my eyes at Adrian.
“Why is it you forgot my father, remembered my six brothers—but somehow forgot me?”
Adrian stiffened, then lifted his head sharply.
“It’s my fault. I always felt someone was waiting for me, and I swore I’d fight my way back alive. But when I saw Stella, it was love at first sight. No one else mattered.”
“Lila Lane, I hear you’re my junior sister. For the sake of our childhood bond, forget me. Let me and Stella be.”
Without hesitation, Adrian knelt before me.
Stella quickly followed, tears brimming, her voice trembling.
“Sister, I don’t want anything—only Adrian. Please, I beg you…”
I laughed, rose to my feet, and tore the stack of files to shreds.
“Stella Ray, since you call me sister, why don’t I host your wedding?”
Both Adrian and Stella jerked their heads up, eyes wide with disbelief.
I plucked a rose from nearby and tucked it into Stella’s hair.
“This wedding—I’ll officiate.”
With my word, preparations began immediately.
Stella’s eyes shone with gratitude.
