'If he had known from the beginning that this was his fiancée, could he really have treated her wholeheartedly as a sister?'
Kian Sterling had never considered this question for all these years.
Of course, he knew she was Summer Sutton. But from the moment he accepted that she was also Celia Sterling, he had automatically retreated into the role of a brother. Over the years, he had poured his heart into raising her, giving her everything he could.
