In the quiet corner of my heart, he was my forever. He was my shadow, my secret keeper, my unspoken promise the boy who whispered "always" under starlit skies and made me believe in a love that could weather anything. Our trio with vivacious best friend Cecilia felt unbreakable. Until the day Caleb vanished without a word. No goodbye. No explanation. Just a space where my entire world used to be. For four agonizing years, I pieced myself together from the shards he left behind, carrying the ghost of his touch and the unanswered questions that haunted my sleepless nights. Then, in the glittering ballroom of a luxury hotel, fate delivers the cruelest twist: Caleb-older, devastatingly handsome, slipping a ring on the finger of one person who knew what he meant to me. Watching him get engaged to another woman hurt me, but realizing that the other woman was the same woman on whose shoulder I had cried multiple times destroyed me. But I would kill myself before I let them see the wreckage of my ruins. So instead of walking away quietly, I moved toward them. Plastering a smile on my lips, I lifted my wine glass and congratulated them. Congratulated myself because for years my heart was in his captivity and in this moment he had finally set it free. The exact moment I stopped loving Caleb Montaign. Now to me he was somebody I used to know. Three hearts, one forbidden Love
