He Said Caring For Girl Best Friend Was Duty, So I left

For eight years, Wren believed she owed Bellamy Vance her entire life, told over and over that Bellamy’s brother Colt died saving her and Derek in an accident. She gave up award ceremonies, graduation moments, even a proposal night, always pushed aside while Derek rushed to clean up Bellamy’s latest crisis. The night before their marriage license appointment, Derek comes home at 2 a.m. again, this time after Bellamy stranded herself on a mountain during a meteor shower. As Bellamy whispers a quiet threat in Wren’s ear and Derek burns their family documents in the study afterward, Wren finally reads the journal entry that unravels eight years of guilt: Colt never saved anyone at all.
