At first glance, the photo displayed only a blurry figure. Holden fixed his gaze intensely on the indistinct silhouette, his heart racing involuntarily, his palms growing sweaty.

He tapped on the photo nervously, and it began to load. With each passing second of the loading screen, Holden felt his heartbeat quicken.

After the photo finished loading, he was greeted by a familiar side profile.

In an instant, Holden breathed a sigh of relief.

It was her. It was really her!

Holden fixed his gaze upon the photo on his phone, delicately trailing his finger over the woman's features. His eyes held a blend of restraint and Longing.

His gaze lingered on the photo, and in a soft murmur, he couldn't help but utter, “Ariana, it's you. Thank goodness, it's really you."

Holden remained fixed on the photo for a while longer before he tore his eyes reluctantly away from it.

It was Ariana in the photo. The woman he had fallen in love with was Ariana. This must mean that he was Theodore!

Yet, Holden couldn't fathom why Devin and his grandfather had never mentioned Ariana's name in his presence. Furthermore, Devin seemed to be intentionally hiding all connections relating to Ariana. This left Holden puzzled.

What could be the reason for this?

Considering the depth of his past affection for Ariana, Holden pondered about Sadie's sudden appearance in his life.

Who was he? Was he Holden or Theodore?

Understanding the complexity of his situation, Holden acknowledged he had a long path ahead to unravel this intricate puzzle. Yet, as he gazed at the photo in his hand, he felt a sense of calm and assurance. He found solace in the certainty that the one he had loved was truly Ariana.

It made sense now why he had felt an inexplicable familiarity when he first laid eyes on her. He finally understood the repeated attraction he had felt towards her whenever they met.

At that instant, a knock echoed through the room, and Shawn entered.

“Mr. Fredrick, it's time for the wedding ceremony to start," he said.

Holden composed himself, nodding in acknowledgment. He saved the photo on his phone before rising and stepping out.

Meanwhile, Ariana rushed towards Holden's wedding venue, her thoughts flooded with memories of the moments she had shared with him.

Each time she was in danger, Holden would appear and rescue her.
