Claire Reed thought she married the man of her dreams, Evander Kensington, but she had no idea that their marriage was built on a lie; a family vow that trapped him by her side. His heart, however, belonged to another woman, his white lotus. No matter how hard Claire tried to win Evander’s love, he only grew colder, and his family treated her like she didn’t exist. When she lost their unborn child, Claire’s world shattered. She wanted to see Evander, but he didn't bother to check on her. Instead, he went to meet that white lotus. Unable to bear the betrayal, she decided to free Evander from this marriage, leaving behind a letter and divorce papers, claiming she now had someone else she loved! ~~~~ "You’re mine, and I’ll never let you go!” he declared, his voice dark with possessiveness. “But I don’t want you anymore! You can have Susan—I’m now in love with someone else!” Claire shot back, her words sharp and final. "You can't be with anyone. Do you even know how sleepless nights I've without you?" Evander's hold on her tightened. "I'll see how you become some else when I'll claim you," he pronounced before crashing his lips on her.
Claire's POV
"Are you sure you don't know the Kensington family?" Damian asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Should I?" I kept my tone polite, not wanting to show any reaction. "Are they that important?"
"No, no need and sure… they are not that important," he replied, looking a bit taken aback. "Sorry, my mistake. I thought you looked familiar." He started to walk away but then stopped and glanced back. "So, are you here to audition?"
I opened my mouth to respond, but Sissy beat me to it.
"Yes! She is here to audition for Timeless Love— it's a minor third-character role, but still important!" Sissy chirped, practically bouncing with excitement. "If you are part of this, Mr. Storme, she will be thrilled, even if it means playing as a chair or a street light!"
I cringe. Oh, Sissy... embarrassing me, as usual. You were the one who wanted it more than me!
