Anthony and Sienna entered into marriage to fulfill Anthony’s grandfather’s wish, despite Anthony being in love with Rylee. Sienna felt like an outsider in Anthony’s life. While the old man was alive, Anthony maintained a facade of politeness towards Sienna, but after his passing, Sienna’s troubles began.
Realizing that her marriage to Anthony paled in comparison to Rylee’s significance in his life, Sienna decided to seek a divorce, only to discover she was pregnant.
Anthony’s treatment towards her grew even more callous, eventually forcing Sienna out of their home to care for Rylee. Enduring this mistreatment silently, Sienna bore her suffering alone.
With time, Sienna uncovered that Rylee was not as innocent as she had believed, leading her to suspect that the misfortunes she endured were part of a deliberate scheme.

Seemingly worried that I would overthink, he sat beside me and held my hand. Gently, he squeezed and caressed it, but he was still silent. “Are these from protecting Rylee?” Perhaps it was a question too straightforward, but I could not think of another way to ask it. He tensed up for a moment. When…
“You’re my sister,” he said in a quiet yet assertive tone. Amused by his reply, I huffed, “You know we’re not biological siblings.” He nodded and agreed, “Yes.” It seemed like my response had not affected him at all, and I quietly sighed to myself.
