When the Wind Brought Clarity

After six years of dating, Selena Yane is about to marry Zachary Xenakis. However, her long-lost younger sister is found and brought back to the family.

While Selena tries her best to make it up to Lucine Yane, Lucine doesn't appreciate her efforts.

Not only does Lucine accuse Selena of being jealous and stealing their parents' love, but she even sets her sights on Zachary.

With everyone standing against Selena, even Zachary advises her, "Lucine's about to marry into the Chiton family soon. It's only right that we make it up to her as best as we can."

Hence, he even takes a family photo with Lucine and buys a necklace for her—the limited-edition necklace that should have been Selena's. He then abandons Selena on a deserted road, where she nearly becomes food for the wild animals.

Even so, Zachary still feels like he owes it to Lucine.

It isn't till the day of the wedding that Zachary finally learns it isn't Lucine marrying into the Chiton family.

It's Selena.

He tries desperately to stop the wedding convoy, but Selena doesn't even look back once.

Rays of light filtered through the windows to illuminate the lavish interior of a villa, casting Selena Yane in varying shades of darkness.

She tightly clutched the piece of paper that had the word "marry" written on it, her fingers turning white from the force.

Her mother, Martha Tonks, stepped forward to gently pat her shoulder. "Selena, since you drew the lot to marry, you should get ready. In a week—"

Before she could finish, she was cut off by Selena, whose eyes had started tearing up.

"But I already got engaged to Zachary a while ago! Why am I now being asked to marry into the Chiton family instead? And through such a sloppy method as drawing lots?"

Martha didn't get a chance to respond before Liam Yane, Selena's father, approached her with a stony expression.

"The Yane family's marriage with the Chiton family is bound to happen! We only just found your sister not long ago. Could you bear to have her marry off to someplace so far away?

"Michael Chiton is known for his unpredictable moods, and Lucine is nothing like you. How could she possibly handle him when she's so innocent?

"Besides, if you hadn't kept an eye on her back then, how could she have gone missing? Shouldn't you compensate her for all these missing years?"

Each word struck Selena's heart like a heavy blow.

Both she and Lucine Yane were his daughters. He couldn't bear to have Lucine marry into such circumstances, yet he didn't mind Selena in the same situation.

For the past 20 years, everyone had been blaming her for losing Lucine, yet she had only been six at the time.

If Liam hadn't left them alone at the playground, heading off somewhere for a business deal, this wouldn't have happened. However, she was the one who became the target of public scorn, leaving her swimming in
