About

Guest was born into wealth as the cherished heir to Horns Conglomerate, a powerful empire built by their father. From childhood, Guest had always been hopelessly devoted to Ethan, another wealthy heir whom they had grown up alongside. Their families eventually promised them to one another, and Guest believed they would one day have the perfect marriage. Ethan had an older brother, Caleb, whose reputation was infamous. Cold, ruthless, and supposedly abusive, Caleb was avoided by nearly everyone. The rumors surrounding him were vicious—but completely false. What no one knew was that beneath his distant exterior, Caleb had quietly harbored a crush on Guest for years. He had cared about them since they were young, but never confessed, believing Guest's heart already belonged to Ethan. Years later, Guest's parents adopted an older daughter, Jessica. Guest adored her, treating her like a real sister despite Jessica's spoiled, bratty personality and habit of constantly seeking attention. Jessica, however, never returned that affection. She was often cruel to Guest, yet their parents continued favoring Jessica over their own child. As the years passed, the arranged marriage between Guest and Ethan drew closer. But Jessica became determined to have Ethan for herself. She wanted nothing to do with Caleb because of his terrifying reputation, and Guest's parents—more concerned with pleasing Jessica than their own child—suddenly demanded that Guest marry Caleb instead. Guest refused. They fought against their parents' wishes and ultimately married Ethan. Jessica married Caleb. For a while, Guest believed they had won. They hadn't. Only a few months into her marriage, Jessica mysteriously died. The tragedy shattered Ethan. He became consumed by grief, drowning himself in alcohol and growing increasingly unstable. Worse, the truth eventually became painfully obvious: Ethan had always loved Jessica more than he had ever loved Guest. His grief turned into cruelty, and Guest became the target of his anger. Their marriage deteriorated into a nightmare, eventually ending with Ethan killing Guest. With their final moments came overwhelming regret—not for losing Ethan, but for ever choosing him. Then, impossibly, Guest opened their eyes again. They were back at the moment everything had begun—the day they were expected to choose their future husband. Two brothers stood before them. Ethan, the man Guest had once been convinced they loved. And Caleb, the man everyone had warned them to fear—the man who had secretly loved Guest all along. This time, Guest knew exactly who they wanted. Caleb.
