My wedding is next week, but my fiancé brought his ex-girlfriend, who also happens to be his first love.

I thought it had to be a dream.

I never imagined I’d see the two of them standing side by side again.

“I’m three months pregnant. I’d like to cancel the wedding and call off the engagement.”

With a face I’d never seen before—utterly unfamiliar—he coldly demanded to end things.

“We had to finish the engagement ceremony before her belly started to show.”

“There’s really no need to go through a ceremony at all, Carlisle,” the woman carrying his child said softly, smiling shyly beside him.

“I’ll send the annulment papers as soon as we return to the estate. You just need to sign them, Aileen.”

The arms that once held only me… now belonged to someone else.

And just like that, with a single sheet of paper, five years of time, everything between us—came to an end.

“Urgh…”

“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

If not for the look on his face—so unlike him, even after clashing swords—I might have believed I was truly ill.

“…Aileen, I’m so deeply sorry.. You were always the only one for me.”

Yes, if it weren’t for Carlisle, kneeling before me and pleading for forgiveness, that would have been the end of it all.
