Summary

They called it tradition.
They called it destiny.
They called it Christmas magic.

For two years, you loved Alistair Viremont like a vow—quietly, loyally, completely. He was old money wrapped in perfect manners, the man your parents adored, the man everyone said you were lucky to have. You believed in the future he let you imagine, never realizing you were only filling a space meant for someone else.

On Christmas Eve, beneath fairy lights and mistletoe, the truth chose its moment.

In front of your family.
In front of his.
In front of a room that cheered while your heart collapsed.

He kissed your sister without shame, without hesitation, and without regret—claiming her while the people who should have protected you smiled and applauded. In one breath, you were erased. Not broken up with. Not explained to. Simply replaced—sanctioned by blood and tradition.

Your tears were an inconvenience.
Your shock, an embarrassment.
Your love, a mistake everyone was relieved to correct.

And when you finally met his eyes, searching for remorse, he gave you none—only a polite smile and a sentence that rewrote your entire past.

Because in his world, you were never the one.
You were the placeholder everyone agreed to discard.
