She is Like the Beauty of Moonlight1
Ethan Shane, our city's infamous Capital Sage, has a step-sister who's his long-lost crush.
She's back in town, strutting around like she owns the place.
I can't help but smirk.
For years, I've been the invisible hand guiding Shane Group, propping up this so-called Capital Sage.
It's turned my heart into something as sharp and unyielding as a butcher's blade.
Ethan's lovesick drama? Just another drop in his ocean of screw-ups.

Ethan, the icy Capital Sage, has a step-sister he worships like the moon. She's always on his mind and at the tip of his tongue.
On our wedding anniversary, his precious moon goddess flew back home.
Ethan rushed to pick her up, leaving me with a cold text.
[Gia, Mia's staying with us. Set up the second-floor balcony room for her.]
That room is my studio. Ethan seemed to have forgotten.
Soon after, Mia waltzed in, demanding her room.
Her face, eerily similar to mine but younger and bolder, sized me up the moment she entered.
"So you're Gia Shaw?" she said, her tone dripping with judgment.
"Pretty average. I guess your only perk is looking like me. What, did my brother find himself a knockoff version of me?"
