With a furrowed brow, Blake hesitated before saying, “If that’s not the
case, why does Cecilia keep pushing for me to tie the knot with you
and waltz right into the Xander family to become Mrs. Xander? You
clearly know we’re just friends, and I’m already with Kevin. I
understand my words hurt you, but I have to say how I truly feel. Did
you know that Cecilia is using Madelyn’s life to threaten me? If I don’t do things her way, how many more people will she hurt
besides Madelyn?
“Liam, actually, I recalled those childhood memories I had forgotten
long ago. Cecilia... is my sister,” Blake lowered her head while saying
these words. It was a fact she had never wanted to believe in her

“What do you want me to do? I’ll go along with whatever you decide. I
