THE STORY

About He Cheated, I Upgraded My Man

Yuna, a sports journalist, spent five years in a secret relationship with Silas, her best friend's famous soccer-star brother who kept hiding her, rejecting her marriage proposals, and entertaining a younger woman. When she discovered he'd bought a ring—not for her—she accepted a family-arranged marriage to Hudson Cole, a respected coach who had silently admired her for years. Silas crashed the wedding believing it was staged for him, only to realize he'd truly lost her. Despite his desperate pursuit, Yuna built a loving, public life with Hudson, who quietly ensured Silas paid the price for wasting her years.
