My Secret Vow To The Man You Despised

Summary

Two weeks before my thirtieth birthday, Liam Foster rejected my proposal for the third time.

"Sienna, I get it. I know your mom’s dying wish was to see you married by thirty," he said, loud enough for the whole table to hear. "But I promised Sydney I’d wait until she found someone first. So, leave me out of the marriage talk for now, okay?"

Beside him, Sydney—his foster sister—beamed with a sickeningly sweet glow.
