"Catherine might not be the prettiest, but I love her the most. She's kind, graceful, and no one could be a better wife for the future head of the Yale Family."
A bitter taste filled my heart as though all the bile in the world had churned in my stomach.
I stared into his eyes and spoke slowly, word by word. "So, you really do like her."
I was trying to remember how I made it back to my room. All I felt was an icy coldness spreading through me.
I forced a bitter smile. Would I always be the little sister?
I clenched my fists and buried those feelings deep in my heart.
I focused intently on finishing the design at hand. This time, I was designing a ring called "Secret Love".
I poured all my feelings for Jacob into this ring, hiding them within its delicate details.
After this, I had to let go of all my emotions for him. It was time to move on to a better life.
The next day, I went to the design competition wearing the ring. It was only during the presentation that I realized Catherine was also there. She was presenting right before me.
Jacob stood by her side, his gaze on me filled with an emotion I couldn't decipher.
Soon, it was Catherine's turn. She walked onto the stage with her design.
