The Marriage That Wasn't

When Celeste Chua was seven years old, a feng shui master predicted that marrying Ethan Sy would bring prosperity to both their families.

So their parents made a promise.

A promise that would decide their future.

Growing up, Celeste never questioned it. Ethan was her best friend, her constant, and eventually, the boy she secretly fell in love with.

But after graduation, everything changed.

The Ethan who once knew all her favorite foods, carried an umbrella for her when it rained, and remembered every little thing about her suddenly disappeared.

No explanation.

No goodbye.

Just silence.

Then months later, he calls her with a favor:

Lie for me.

When family pressure pushes them toward the marriage they were promised as children, Celeste is forced to live with the one person who broke her heart.

What she doesn't know is that Ethan has been hiding a secret capable of destroying both their families-and the future they were never supposed to have.

Because some promises are built on love.

And some are built on lies.
