Story

The story

For five years, Fiona has stood in her runaway sister Crystal's place as Mrs. Lee, quietly winning the love of her husband Marcus Lee while knowing she would step aside the moment Crystal returned. When Crystal's call reaches their mountain campsite, Marcus abandons Fiona's birthday without a word, and her mother's scolding soon follows.

Then comes Crystal's message claiming what is hers, and Marcus's money with a single word: sorry. Fiona finally sees the truth behind his devotion, and asks a lawyer friend to draft divorce papers.

As rumors of the divorce and of Crystal's return spread, Fiona resolves to take back her love and give it only to herself.

Opening excerpt

So she left for another country without a care, leaving me behind to hold her place as Mrs. Lee.

I didn't cry or make a scene. While still young and vulnerable, I gave everyone a graceful way out.

Then I put all my effort into making Marcus Lee fall in love with me bit by bit.

And I made sure to step away right after my sister came back.

On my birthday, Marcus drove me to a campsite in the mountains.
