With a twist of fate, Logan becomes Celine's brother. However, Logan can't let go of her love for Celine. "Can we start over, Celine?" Logan's question caught Celine off guard. Celine withdrew her hand and left Josh in her room. Logan wanted to follow Celine, but he was stopped by Celine, who stopped her track near the door, "You've already put an end to our relationship when you chose to believe her words. We're done." Celine opened the door. Instead of leaving her room, she gestured to Logan to get out. "If you're unwilling to leave, I will leave, brother." Like lightning, Logan's heart was struck in half, and he said, "I'm not your brother. I am still your fiancee."
Chapter 1 A twist of fate
"Have I not mentioned that we will all live under one roof together with your stepdad and stepbrothers after our wedding?" Audrey exclaimed as she awkwardly consoled her daughter, Celine Stone.
"This is exceptionally ridiculous, Mother! Of all the widowed husbands scattered on the Earth, you married his father." Celine stood up and walked out of the dining room.
Witnessing Celine's behavior, Maverick Stone, the eldest, put down his utensils loudly, and then he raised his voice and said, "Come back here, Celine! You're being disrespectful to all of us and to our elders."
Despite the overbearing tone of Maverick's voice, Celine did not stop nor come back to dine. She went to her room and slammed the door.
Celine has been feeling emotionally unwell, and her head might have formed cracks because any information that comes always leaks and passes on the other side. Her brain waves have been disrupted since the day she received her mother's wedding invitation while she had an overseas business trip. It says, "You're cordially invited to Audrey Dalton & Landon Fuller's wedding celebration."
It's been more than five years since Celine's father, Marcus Stone, died from illness. She always wanted her mother to find her happiness, but she never expected that her mother's happiness would be in her father's best friend, Landon, her ex-boyfriend's father, or her ex-fiancee.
"Leave me alone!" Celine raised her voice while covering her entire body with her fleece blanket. Then someone shut the door. The peace she wanted for a moment broke as she heard light footsteps coming. "I said leave me alone!" A heavy and warm embrace startled Celine, and her body became stiff.
"I missed you." A soft-toned voice rang in Celine's ears. Then, the low, calm voice owner put her blanket away.
"Logan Fuller, go away!" Celine pushed Logan off the bed and glared at him with much disgust.
However, instead of walking out of the room, Logan approached Celine again and hugged her tightly. He then said, "I was wrong. I regretted everything." Logan stroked Celine's long and silky hair and touched her cheeks. Their eyes met. Logan's warm hands blushed Celine's cheeks.
Celine became speechless and could not move as she saw Logan's teary eyes.
'How did we become like this?' Celine's thoughts of their past flashed. She unknowingly held Logan's cheeks and wiped his tears.
"Can we start over, Celine?" Logan's question caught Celine off guard, so she withdrew her hand, stood up, and left Logan in her room.
Logan stood up and tried to follow Celine as she left the room.
"Don't try to follow me, Logan. Go home."
The pain and regrets made him stop his track and clinched his fists.
"You've already put an end to our relationship. I have said this before. If you forgot those words, let me remind you again. There's no turning back. You left me. You chose to believe her words than my words. You should have believed and trusted me. We're done."
Celine opened the door and gestured for Logan to leave her room.
"If you're unwilling to leave, I will leave, brother."
