The Bride He Never Wanted
# **The Promise We Couldn't Keep** When Arnold Joseph was a child, he knew exactly who he wanted to marry. Angelina. His childhood best friend. The girl he followed everywhere, teased endlessly, protected fiercely, and secretly loved long before he even understood what love was. Under an old guava tree, they made a promise. *"When we grow up, we'll marry each other."* And Arnold believed her. As they grew older, he never stopped choosing her. He tried to make her notice him.
