As Nathan left the study, his words lingered in my mind.

"She can get any man she wants?" The thought gnawed at me. Does she want Grayson? Does she actually like him? Why? What does he have that draws her to him?

The questions came one after another, refusing to be silenced no matter how much I tried to push them away.

My gaze drifted to the desk where I had placed Selene's diary.

A sudden wave of curiosity washed over me. I wanted to see her handwriting, to know what she had written inside.

Standing up, I walked over to the desk and settled into the chair.

I picked up the diary and flipped it open.

The first page took me by surprise.

There, carefully placed, was a photograph from our wedding. Beneath it, a short note was written in her delicate script:

"My married life with the person I love the most."

My fingers curled as I read the words again and again. It was from the very day we got married-how could she have written that she loved me the most back then?

Turning the page, I continued reading.

She had written a lot about me. She saw me as her hero, all because I had saved her from that old

man that night.

Her words described how she had struggled to adapt to my family's traditions, trying to fit into my

world.

Her handwriting was graceful, and the way she expressed her emotions made her feelings unmistakably clear.

As I read further, a faint smile crossed my lips.

She had been both thrilled and anxious about our future together after our wedding.

But then, my expression darkened as I came across something painful.

**“Today, Mom and Dad arranged a yacht for me and Kane. Since he refused to go on a honeymoon with me, they planned a special night for us.

I am very excited because Kane has agreed with his parents.

I am wearing a red backless dress. It's not that I wanted to seduce him, but I wanted to look beautiful for him. I want this night to be unforgettable for us."**

It seemed like she had written it just before leaving that night. But a few pages later, her tone changed.

What caught my attention were the dried tear stains on the page.

**"Kane wasn't answering my calls, so I went to the port alone. I thought he would already be there.

But when I arrived, only Dad's men were waiting. They helped me board the yacht, assuring me Kane

would show up soon.

The yacht was breathtaking, decorated with flowers and candles, glowing under the night sky as it floated on the river.

I waited for him. I kept telling myself he would come. But he never did.

When the yacht started to move, panic set in. I ran to the captain, asking why we were leaving when my husband hadn't arrived.

His reply crushed me-Kane wasn't coming.

I spent the entire night alone, staring at the endless, empty water.

Why does he hate me so much? Why can't he see how much I love him? I'm his newlywed bride. What could possibly be more important to him than me? Or... does he not care about me at all?"**

I tore my eyes from the diary, my chest tightening.

I remembered that night all too well. I had ignored her. Instead of meeting her on that yacht, I had drowned myself in alcohol at a bar, wanting to be anywhere but with her.

Now, regret left a bitter taste in my mouth.

She had been alone. Completely abandoned.

And I had been the reason for it.
