This is the story of a man who lived without friends, without family, and without attachments. He was an ordinary man, unnoticed by the world, living in complete solitude. But one day, everything changed. During an accident, he saved a girl’s life—a girl who wasn’t just anyone. She was Lia Everhart, the most stunning beauty in the city and the daughter of a prestigious, powerful family. From that moment, her heart belonged to him. "You saved my life, so my whole life belongs to you." But he rejected her. "You will not be happy as my wife." She refused to back down. She would do anything for him. And in the end, he accepted her love. But their marriage had to be a secret. She came from an influential family, while he was just a nobody. Or at least… that’s what she thought.

Aurora’s eyes blazed with anger, her voice breaking between the tears she had tried in vain to hold back. “I thought I would forget your past love for you, but I was wrong! You are the one who chose to remain trapped in the past, refusing to see the one who truly loves you!” Kyle, despite his outward calm, was burning inside. Guilt gnawed at his heart, yet he said nothing. Aurora cried out bitterly: “She is happy now, living her life with the one she loves, with her husband and children! She never saw you as more than a brother and a friend!” He couldn’t take it anymore. Stepping toward her in anger, his voice was sharp as a blade: “Shut your mouth. I don’t want to talk about this again!” Then, coldly, he added: “Go home. I’ll send your father a letter of apology and end this engagement.” Aurora stood still for a moment, her eyes filled with pain before she whispered in a choked voice: “Don’t bother… I will send the letter to my family myself. And don’t worry, I won’t tell them that you were the one who wanted to end it.” She cast him one last broken glance before turning away, leaving behind nothing but the sound of her fading footsteps, her silent tears, and a shattered heart… A week passed. Then, the phone rang. Kyle answered coldly: “Yes, who is this?” A trembling voice came from the other end—it was Lady Valeska, filled with concern: “Is Aurora alright? She hasn’t called us all week…” His heart pounded violently in his chest as panic surged through him. No… No… No. I can’t lose her! Will this love find a happy ending, or will it remain one-sided forever?
