PROLOGUE

"You're the only one I trust with her. Please take care of her for me."

These words echoed in my head endlessly. Was this the right thing to do? Was he really right?

I didn't know what to do. He said to do it, but I couldn't find the power in me to do it. He trusted me with the one he loved and yet, I felt as if I was betraying him by just thinking of her.

I sighed. Why did it have to be me? Why did this have to happen?

I knew it was wrong, yet, it was his wish, and the guilt will haunt me for the rest of my life if I don't succumb to it.

I knew all about her, from her name to her looks. He taught me it all. He knew this day was coming, we all did. Well, except for her, as he didn't wish to tell her and wanted to just cherish all the moments he had left to spend with her.

Oh, how he loved her. He loved her a lot. It was the kind of love other couples would be jealous of. He adored her greatly. In his eyes, all her flaws just made him love her more. She was an angel in his eyes. Her mere existence made him happy despite all the pain he had to endure.

She kept his smile on his face through everything, without even knowing she did.

But, all good things come to an end. And their relationship had to be ended in the most brutal way.

That's where my role comes.
I shall keep her happy like she kept him happy.

I'm his replacement.
