“Did you plan this with Mom, sis?” Bella stood up and slowly walked toward Anastasia. Anastasia’s eyes widened in confusion. “What plan?” “You know I love him, and you know he’s my Prince Charming! Why?!” Bella’s voice grew louder. Anastasia was frozen in place, still bewildered. “Prince Charming?” Anastasia never expected her life to resemble a Cinderella tale, especially the role as the stepsister. When her parents arrange her marriage to Ethan Harrington, the man her step sister Bella has loved since childhood, her peaceful ten-year life in this new family starts to crumble. As she navigates the complexities of love and loyalty, Anastasia is convinced that Ethan’s heart belongs to someone else. With misunderstandings and tangled emotions at play, she must decide whether to follow her heart or fulfil her family's expectations. Will she find her own happiness, or will she be forever cast in the shadows of Bella's unfulfilled fairytale?"

Diana stepped forward, her voice trembling. "Ethan, please try to understand. We were worried about how you'd react. You needed to heal after everything that happened between you and Anastasia."

Daniel clenched his fists, frustration bubbling just below the surface. "Heal? What about me healing? I've spent two years trying to move on, only to find out my whole life has been a lie. My daughter was right here, and I didn't even know!" His voice cracked, revealing the pain he'd been holding in. "I really…" He paused, gazing down. "Mom, I really didn't want to ask this, but for the whole two years, was Anastasia here all this time?"

Both of them let out soft sighs of guilt. It wasn't that they hadn't considered their son's feelings, but they felt divided.

"So, she was here all along then. Dumb me…" He turned and walked out of the house.

"Did he find out?" Diya rushed down the stairs.
