Christmas Eve. Six-year-old Sia knelt in blood, pressing her small hands over her mother's cold fingers, calling for help again and again. On the line, her father Miles was unwrapping gifts with another mother and daughter. He sneered, ""Your mom's little drama again."" Her brother Joel cursed and hung up, returning to his game. No one believed her. No one came. In the snowy night, a golden light descended. ""Sia, do you want to save your mother?"" The price: leave this world for three years to accompany a father and daughter in another world who need love. This world would record her as dead. The child signed without hesitation. She asked only to say goodbye first. But the farewell became torture—a framed theft, a mastiff, an icy pool, and her own father passing her over to save the vicious ""little sister."" Feverish, Sia sat on an empty swing and waited. The countdown ended. The girl vanished. Then came the truth: the car crash, deleted footage, the mistress's murder plot, the kidney her wife had secretly donated. Miles pieced it all together and confirmed he had helped kill his own daughter. He lost everything. Three years later, he saw his dead wife and daughter smiling beside another man—celebrated philanthropist Grant Sterling. He charged into the crowd, screaming, only to meet laughter and his daughter's averted eyes. So ""Daddy"" never belonged to blood after all. Can belated regret earn one forgiveness? As Sia looks back at the kneeling, weeping man through the car window, should she forgive him? Her mother said only one thing: Look back, and you will know.

When Luca Moretti chose the jewelry for our wedding, he still bought two pieces and let my twin sister Bianca choose first. One was a ruby cuff from a Sicilian auction. The other was an off-the-rack black onyx bracelet, the kind sold in every mall jewelry store. For the first time, I reached before Bianca could. I pointed at the ruby cuff. "This time, can I choose first?" Luca set his palm on my head with the easy affection he used to make me behave. "Bianca has always been stubborn about quality. If it's not the best, she won't take it. You don't care about this stuff, Elena. The other piece isn't bad." I didn't answer right away. Something inside my chest went quiet. In my own family, Bianca always got the first slice, the clean seat, and the room with the view. My mother said she needed the best because she carried the Bellini name better. My father called it practical. Marriage worked that way too. The Bellinis and Morettis had promised one daughter to the Moretti heir long before either of us knew what love was. Everyone assumed that daughter would be Bianca. Instead, she made her position crystal clear: she'd rather keep her freedom and her spotless public image than become Mrs. Moretti. So Luca turned to the remaining Bellini daughter. I had known Luca for twenty years, and in his world, I always stood behind Bianca. I looked at the black onyx bracelet on the table and pushed it back. "Bianca can have both. I'm not choosing." I didn't want another leftover choice. Not anymore.
