My Lover Tortured Me for His Sweetheart

Synopsis

The winter night in Brestin City cut straight to the bone. Aileen Murdock stood in the shadows at the edge of the hall, her gaze slipping through the clinking glasses and mingling crowd before settling on Kevin Boswell. He had his head lowered, his lips nearly brushing Ena Connelly's ear as he whispered something to her. Kevin and Ena had just registered their marriage. Two hours ago, Ena had personally sent a photo of their wedding certificate to Aileen's phone. "Ena, you and Mr. Boswell already got your license. So, when's the wedding?" "I heard he's been scouting venues lately. It's definitely going to be grand." The socialites nearby covered their mouths, laughing just loud enough for her to hear. Everyone knew Aileen had been with Kevin for seven years. They also knew the one he had truly cared about all those seven years was Ena, the real heiress who had just returned and was now doted on by the Murdock family. Following Kevin's gaze, Ena spotted Aileen standing outside the crowd. A flicker of malice flashed in her eyes. She pushed Kevin aside and walked straight toward Aileen, slipping her arm around hers. "Aileen, why are you standing here all alone?" she said sweetly, her smile overly warm. Aileen clenched her palm so hard her nails nearly cut into her skin. In her mind, she kept repeating, 'Just one more month.' Kevin had promised that he would marry her in one month's time. They had been together for seven years. She believed the man, who had never broken his word to her, would keep this one. At the point, Ena leaned close to her ear and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.
