It Was You

"Okay, I promise that I'll marry Martin to be the substitute for my sister.'' She looked at Roger with glossy eyes, experiencing a hard time to have a normal breathing.

"Really?" A bright smile made its way on his lips. He didn't expect that this stupid woman would agree. He thought she would be stubborn to refuse him. The stupid woman said she loved him, so he came to persuade her to give up. Never had he expected that it would be so easy.

On the massive bed, cold sweat covered her body. The thin layer of cloth wrapped around her, outlining a perfect line. Her skin was so fragile that even a single blow could break it.

He sighed while narrowing his eyes to have a better look at her. To be honest, if it weren't for her integrity, any man would have been attracted by her beautiful face.

But...

"I know you like my sister, but I just can't give up. Since I can't win your heart, then let me do this for you. Roger, have you ever been in love with me..." Looking upon him, she filled her eyes with affection. "For a minute?"

Upon hearing this, it astonished Roger with a warmhearted look in his eyes.

The woman in front of him was the one who he had sworn to marry as his wife. When he was abandoned by his family, she never gave up on him. It was her who had always been guarding him. She was there on his lowest point of life.

After a long while, Roger bent over, stroked her long hair with his slender fingers and smiled. "Cassandra, I liked you. I'm sorry if I have let you down."

While she pinned her eyes at him, every scene of her earlier life flashed in her mind like a phantom, but it vanished quickly.
