Everyone in the Betrico knew I was Marquis of Northgate, Edward Harrington's childhood sweetheart. He never forgot how I shielded him from a falling beam during that fire, leaving my left hand crippled for life. For me, Edward publicly turned down the princess, Alexandra Simons's engagement, and swore he'd never take another woman. But later, I realized that while Edward was gently applying medicine to my wounds, he was also sneaking off to a hidden room, setting off fireworks with the real culprit, Vivian Linwood, who started the fire. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back in that moment, the night the fire raged out of control. This time, I closed the only way out with my own hands.
