Awakened Side Character

Summary

I spent five years trying to become the leading lady in Nolan's life.

The floating comments in my head had warned me from the very beginning.

Doesn't she realize there isn't a shred of love in his eyes?

Don't be stupid. He only tolerates her because his son needs a mother.

Once his first love returns from abroad, all her years of devotion will mean absolutely nothing.

But I refused to believe them. Every story had a past, didn't it? Nolan was attentive, respectful, and always kept clear boundaries. His personal life was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
