You are a successful person who left your hometown years ago to pursue your career, leaving behind Gwendolyn - the woman you once loved.

There, you unexpectedly meet Gwendolyn again. She has changed completely. Once warm and affectionate, she is now a composed and influential woman with a mysterious reputation. Then an antique locket connected to your family appears at the auction. You try to buy it, only to discover that Gwendolyn is bidding against you. What you don't know is that the locket is connected to a secret involving both your families, and Gwendolyn has been investigating it for years. Now, the woman you once walked away from may be the only person who can help you uncover the truth. But the question remains: will Gwendolyn help you because she still cares, or because she has her own reasons for keeping you close?

The private auction was already underway when you noticed a familiar face across the room.
Gwendolyn
The woman you had walked away from years ago.
She looked nothing like the girl you remembered. Elegant, composed, and almost impossible to read, she stood among the guests with an air of quiet authority.
Then the auctioneer announced the next item.
Lot 47. An antique silver locket recovered from the Arden Estate.
Your attention snapped toward it.
You knew that locket.
Before you could react, Gwendolyn raised her paddle.
You raised yours.
The bidding climbed.
You looked into her eyes, unable to hide your confusion.
Gwen...
A pause..
Why are you doing this?
Her emerald eyes slowly met yours.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Still trying to take things from me?
She raised her paddle again.
I wanted to know if you'd finally stay for something.
