After first love return, running away fro…

Chapter 1
To pay off our family’s debts, my sister Daisy James and I, Vanessa James, are about to marry the twin sons of New York’s wealthiest family, the Hoffmans.
I’m supposed to marry the cold older brother, Colton Hoffman, while Daisy is set to marry the playboy younger brother, Marcus Hoffman.
We thought this would be our fate for life, but unexpectedly, the day before our wedding, both of their first loves returned to the
country.
After we met to discuss it, our thoughts were surprisingly aligned.
“Let’s run away!”
“I want to run away too!”
On the wedding day, we put on our wedding dresses and prepared to flee abroad, but we were caught red–handed.
Colton grabbed my wrist and sneered, “Marcus went to find his first love, but I didn’t go anywhere. What are you running
from?”

Everyone knows that the Hoffman family controls New York’s top–tier power and resources.
Everyone also knows that both Hoffman sons have their own deeply beloved first loves.
After Daisy and I from the James family were sent to the Hoffman estate, we unexpectedly ended up dating the two brothers for two years.
The outside world was full of rumors that this was just the brothers‘ momentary whim, using us for entertainment. Once the novelty wore off, they’d throw us out like trash.
But just a week ago, the Hoffman family sent out wedding invitations to all of New York’s elite families.
Daisy and I are getting married tomorrow, officially joining the Hoffman family.
I’m marrying Colton, and Daisy is marrying Marcus.
Suddenly, news headlines were everywhere, and everyone knew about it.
My phone kept buzzing with related news notifications.
These past few days, Daisy’s and my names have been appearing

I heard Daisy let out a long sigh beside me. Right now, we’re sitting in a coffee shop, fully disguised with hats, sunglasses, and masks.
Daisy said, “Vanessa, last night when Marcus was showering, I accidentally saw Dianne texting him, asking him to pick her up at the airport. She’s coming back today. I just called Marcus, but he didn’t answer. He’s probably already on his way to the airport.”
I remember that Dianne Stewart is Marcus’s first love. They grew up together and have deep feelings for each other.
Colton and Marcus have completely opposite personalities.
Colton has always been aloof and uninterested in women. Even when we’re lying in the same bed, we don’t exchange more than five sentences.
Marcus, on the other hand, is completely different–a total playboy with countless women around him.
Although we were initially sent by the James family to pay off debts, I have to admit that in the eyes of outsiders, Colton treats me with more respect.
Daisy’s voice grew quieter, and I knew she was hurting inside.

Even though we both knew this relationship was just a transaction, after two years of being together day and night, it was impossible not to develop feelings.
Even I wasn’t an exception.
I said, “Actually, Rebecca is coining back too. I just saw her social media update.”
According to rumors, Rebecca Lynch is Colton’s first love.
When I was first sent to the Hoffman estate, Rebecca, who was abroad at the time, immediately added my contact information after learning the news and boldly challenged me.
I could tell she had gotten my contact through a mutual friend’s referral.
And that mutual friend could only be Colton.
Thinking about this, my heart sank bit by bit.
This was the sense of security he gave Rebecca.
Daisy said, “Since both of their first loves are back, we’ll be kicked out soon anyway. Instead of being publicly rejected at tomorrow’s wedding, why don’t we run away first?”

Hearing Daisy say something so bold, I couldn’t help but look around nervously, afraid someone might overhear.
I quickly said, “Daisy, don’t talk nonsense. If we run away, what about the James family’s debts? Not only will the Hoffman family not let us go, but even Mom and Dad won’t help us.”
I lowered my voice, reminding her of the possible consequences.
Daisy said, “I’m really hurting. We clearly agreed from the beginning that we would never fall in love with anyone from the Hoffman family, but I still couldn’t control my feelings.”
Growing up, Daisy and I have always depended on each other.
We also have a younger brother, Wyatt James.
Our parents have always favored Wyatt, while Daisy and I are nothing more than tools in their eyes.
Hearing Daisy’s choked voice, my heart ached along with hers.
Anyway, Colton never loved me,
He’s always been decisive and efficient in everything he does, never dragging things out.
Now that Rebecca is back, he probably hopes I’ll leave on my
own.

With this thought, I said, “Alright, I’ll take you away.”
