Three Years Too Late to Know the Truth

Three years after Evelyn vanished, taking every cent her first love had, she is serving drinks at his engagement banquet. Sebastian, once half-dead on an operating table, now stands radiant beside his fiancée, Vivian, who tells the guests that Evelyn abandoned him when he needed her most. When Evelyn stumbles into the spotlight, Sebastian mocks her fallen state and demands she be fired.

Only Evelyn knows the truth: the kidney that saved his life was hers, given in secret so he would never carry the guilt. Now she hides IV bruises and a failing body, while her brother Nathaniel begs her to speak. But Sebastian sees only a heartless woman, and Vivian guards him closely.

As the engagement crumbles and the truth presses at the edges, Evelyn must decide whether silence is still a kindness.
