Chapter 2
Another commotion, finally over.
I was completely wiped out.
Back at the villa, I collapsed on the couch, staring at the empty place and trying to clear my messy thoughts.
I was 14 when my parents finally found me.
Just like some soap opera–some fake daughter lived in luxury for the 14 years that I have suffered.
After my parents got me back, they did everything they could to make it up to me and love me.
They even transferred all their shares and assets to my name.

As for Chloe Sullivan, the fake heiress, she was moved to another villa. My parents swore she wouldn’t get a single cent from our family.
Still, after raising her all those years, they couldn’t bring themselves to just kick her out.
I just nodded silently, gripping the share transfer papers tightly in my
hand.
After that, Chloe tried over and over to frame me.
She wanted me gone, so she could monopolize everything in my family, including my parents‘ love.
But my parents didn’t fall for it. They never blamed me without proof.

It all came to a head when she photoshopped a picture of me in bed with someone. My parents were furious and sent her overseas.
I never thought she’d hold a grudge.
But on the day of my coming–of–age ceremony, she cut the brake lines.
My parents got into a car accident, and both ended up in the ICU.
With their last breath, they made sure Ryan and I were engaged, so I’d have someone to rely on in the future.
Ding!
The message notification pulled me back to reality.
This book had been added on your bookshelf.
“On your 99th wedding ht, Ryan just the a new position with me!
“The way Ryan was sweating on top of me was kind of intoxicating…..”
I tapped on the video. Moans and whispers filled the air.
A tear slipped down my cheek.
The pain I thought I’d buried started to rise again.
I couldn’t lie to myself anymore–it wasn’t just bad luck.
The first time I drew the runaway slip, I was disappointed watching Ryan walk away, but I forced a smile and accepted it.
The second time, all I felt was shame and regret.
By the tenth, I was questioning everything and drinking all night.

By the 50th, I was on my knees, begging him to stay.
By the 88th, I’d flinch and feel sick just seeing the drawing box.
By the 99th, I was completely broken, too tired to fight.

I started to wonder… was honoring my parents‘ last wish really what I wanted?
Lost in thought, the phone rang. It was Ryan.
His voice was lazy, tinged with that post–pleasure satisfaction. “We agreed that if you pulled the runaway slip, you’d owe me a favor.”
I replied calmly, “Yeah.”
That promise got him a bunch of multi–million–dollar projects from the
company.

And I ended up doing a loro stapta age for mm.
“Don’t you have a villa called Turquoise or something? Give it to me.”
I frowned. Something felt wrong.
Turquoise Villa was built after I came back. My parents spent a fortune on it.

They quietly bought up every piece of emerald in America just to build a year–round hot spring retreat to heal and strengthen my body.
The place took four years to complete.
No one else knew about it.
Except for Chloe, the fake heiress.
But she had been sentenced to life in prison for premeditated murder.
