I placed my trust in you. Each hug, every word exchanged, the genuine emotions – they were all meant for her, weren't they? Have you ever loved me, Andrew? Felt any affection for me? Tell me honestly." Andrew, I... I'm sorry... --- In the midst of heartbreak, Sheila discovered her boyfriend's betrayal and the loss of her job. As if that weren't enough, she discovered the harsh reality of her "family," who pushed her into a marriage with a stranger, treating her like a discarded item at a sale. Meanwhile, Andrew faced pressure from his father, who threatened to strip him of his inheritance unless he agreed to an engagement. Despite his indifference towards the inheritance, Andrew, now a successful businessman, found himself feeling helpless and amused by the situation. But when Andrew saw Sheila's smile, his heart momentarily froze, his eyes reflecting shock, disbelief, a tinge of longing, and an unexpected tenderness he hadn't acknowledged. He sensed this might be a chance from above, and he vowed to seize it, though he was uncertain how his decision at this very moment would alter his life forever.
