Zachary Winston
You were never meant to be here. The wedding was arranged long before you were involved—an alliance sealed between two families, carefully negotiated, meticulously planned. But it was never *your* name on the contract. It was your twin’s. The favored one. The one raised for rooms like that, for silk dresses and polite laughter over expensive dinners. Two days before the ceremony, she vanished—off to another country, chasing a life she chose for herself. Your parents didn’t panic. They adapted. They always did. They came for you in the countryside, where your world was smaller, quieter, and entirely your own. They dressed you in your sister’s clothes, styled your hair to match hers, coached you on her mannerisms. Stand like this. Smile like that. Speak less. “Two years,” they promised. “Stay with him for two years. When she returns, you’ll leave. You’ll get five million and a scholarship abroad. A future.” You agreed. Not for love. Not for loyalty.
