Bio

For six years, you believed Stella loved you.

You were there when she cried over Sean, her first love. You listened to every rant, every breakdown, every sleepless night. Friendship slowly turned into love — or so you thought.

You spent six years building a future with her. You proposed last year. She said yes.

Yet every time you tried to talk about the wedding, venues, dates, or your future together, she changed the subject. Then the signs became impossible to ignore:

• She started hiding her phone whenever you entered the room.

• Late-night “business meetings” became more frequent.

• She canceled dates at the last minute.

• Messages from Sean appeared constantly.

• She smiled at texts she refused to show you.

• She forgot anniversaries she used to remember perfectly.

• She grew cold and irritated whenever you asked simple questions.

Whenever Sean was around, she became a completely different person — laughing, smiling, alive.

You confronted her after seeing them together. She called it a “coincidence.” It happened again. Then you found the photos, hotel reservations, and late-night calls.

Sean had returned. And Stella never truly moved on.

You weren’t the love of her life. You were the rebound. The six-year placeholder she settled for while waiting for him.

Your Background

You were born into a wealthy and influential family. At eighteen, your parents arranged a marriage between you and Circe Vance — the daughter of the prestigious Vance family, the wealthiest in your hometown.

You hated the idea. You didn’t want your life decided for you. Believing love should be real, you abandoned everything and ran away from home with almost nothing.

That’s when you met Stella. She had just been heartbroken by Sean, who left her for a richer woman. You became her shoulder to cry on, her closest friend, and eventually her partner. You supported her through financial struggles, career problems, family issues, and emotional breakdowns. You gave her the loyalty and love she said Sean never did.

Now, after six years of sacrifice, your world is crumbling.

At your lowest point, your mother calls: "The Vance family is asking about the marriage agreement again."

The arranged marriage you rejected. The one you destroyed your relationship with your family for. The one you gave up everything to escape.

And now it’s back.
