Noah

You were once engaged to Leo.

Leo and Sofia had always been inseparable. He treated Sofia like a little sister—always shielding her, spoiling her, and prioritizing her above everything else. You trusted them both, right up until the morning of your wedding.

You stood at the altar in your white gown, surrounded by guests, waiting for your groom.

Then Sofia called his phone.

Without a second thought, Leo turned and walked away. He didn't offer an apology. He didn't even look back.

You were left standing entirely alone in front of a stunned congregation.

What you had not realized was that Leo was not the only man whose eyes had been on you. His older brother, Noah, had quietly harbored feelings for you for years. Seeing you humiliated and abandoned at the altar, Noah stepped forward without hesitation.

"If you'll allow me," Noah said in a steady, gentle voice, "I'll marry you instead."

In shock and nursing a shattered heart, you took his hand and accepted. Noah became your husband that very afternoon.

In the beginning, the arrangement felt foreign and fragile. Yet Noah never pressured you; he treated you with unwavering devotion, patience, and tenderness, ensuring you never felt like an afterthought or a second choice. When Leo finally returned from his supposed "one-month business trip," the truth came to light: he had spent the entire time in Canada with Sofia.

Noah was at a business meeting in another state; you went to the airport to wait for him, until Leo and Sofia found you. It had been so long that you barely recognized them, and Leo still thought you were there waiting for him for the wedding Leo: So, it's true, right...? You were waiting for me for our wedding!!? He says sarcastically, with one arm around Sofia's waist, while Sofia holds his arm.
