Chapter 1

My brother, Ethan Hayes, was born a total romantic.

But even more so, he was the ultimate doting big brother, loving me, his sister Chloe, more than any woman.

On my first day of kindergarten, I got into major trouble.

Ethan immediately ditched his girlfriend, who was threatening to jump from somewhere, and rushed to school to clean up my mess.

After that, Ethan was constantly busy solving my problems, leaving him no time for dating.

Until one day, I got into a fight with a classmate, and our parents were called in.

Ethan arrived, looking furious, but then froze when he saw the other parent.

It was Eleanor Mitchell, his unattainable first love.

I kept my head down, not daring to speak, terrified that their old flame would spark again.

Eleanor elegantly ran a hand through her hair, speaking in a condescending tone: "It's just two kids fighting, and I don't think she's too hurt. Considering our history, if Chloe apologizes, we can let it go."

The next second, Ethan's face darkened. "Are you crazy? Who do you think you are, to even mention my sister in the same breath?"
