Chapter 2

“My name is Summer Plath… It’s the only thing I remember about myself. Can you… take me in?”

The ground had been covered in snow. Back then, Summer was as shy and timid as a little rabbit looking for food in the snow.

Unexpectedly, Jasper Miller took her with him, keeping her in one of his mansions located in West City.

She had been there for a year now.

Everyone in Sea City knew that Jasper liked Victoria Dawn, the lady of the Dawn family. However, when Victoria had gone to Country M to further her studies, she fell in love with someone else.

It was said that Victoria did not keep in touch with Jasper at all for a few years. And Jasper was not able to let go of his love for her. He had been having one sugar baby after the other, and the women he got involved were looking more and more like Victoria.

This was especially true when it came to Summer. Not only did she look like Victoria, she had also stayed by Jasper’s side the longest.

“Isn’t that idiot coming down for breakfast?” muttered the nanny who worked at the mansion.

“Why would she? Mr. Miller is already gone.” one of the servants said in a mocking tone.

The servants in the mansion were not nice to Summer.

They had largely bullied her throughout the year.

“What was Mr. Miller thinking? He could have gotten a smarter sugar baby. This idiot has never even stepped out of the door ever since Mr. Miller brought her here. She stays indoors all the time and knows nothing about the world.”

Summer had lost her memory.

A year had passed since then, and now, even her heart was gone.

She was trembling as she curled up by the windowsill, watching helplessly as Jasper drove away. And like a dog waiting for its master, she sat at home, waiting for Jasper's next visit.

Jasper had countless sugar babies; Summer had accidentally found out about that from the nanny.

She was merely one of the many sugar babies Jasper kept in his mansions.

She had cried all night after finding out the truth. She thought that she was special to Jasper. However, it turned out that there were many other women out there, who Jasper kept in “cages”, and all of them were stupidly waiting for him to give them whatever affection he had left in him.

“Stop throwing a tantrum in front of me! Who do you think you are? You’d better be obedient and learn how to please me.”

All Jasper had ever done was threaten her. All his words were laced with threats.

Summer was a meek person to begin with, and the fact that she had lost her memory made her even more insecure.

She neither remembered nor trusted anyone. But for some reason, she liked Jasper, falling in love with him at first sight.

…..

After he had left his mansion that day, Jasper did not show up for half a month.

Summer heard that Jasper had proposed to Victoria the moment she landed. But it seemed like Victoria did not say yes immediately. Instead, she had been vague, and continuously put off giving him an answer. It was as though she was worried that he would fall in love with someone else, even though she did not intend to marry him.

Those who did not have their love reciprocated would always feel inferior. Only people like Victoria, who were loved, could live their lives undauntedly.

Jasper was a force to be reckoned with. He was the chairman of Miller Corporation, becoming one of the top businessmen in the country at such a young age. Countless women in Sea City would go to great lengths to be with someone so young and successful. But Victoria was the only woman who had the audacity to make such a mighty and powerful man her plan B.

Victoria was the only daughter of the Dawn family, who resided in Sea City. She had been friends with Jasper ever since they were young, and her sweet and beautiful complexion resembled that of an elegant swan’s. On the other hand, Summer was an idiot who had lost her memory in an accident, not knowing a single thing about herself. Investigations had shown that no one called Summer Plath existed in Sea City, and her identity remained a mystery.

Jasper was in love with Victoria, and to him, Summer was worthless.

*Bang!* Jasper seemed to be in an extremely bad mood as he kicked open the bedroom door. Victoria had probably treated him poorly today.

The s*x that day was intense, and Summer had fallen sick right after Jasper left. She had been running a slight fever which was accompanied by a horrible appetite. She was also constantly dizzy, and had frequent bouts of vomiting.

“Are you pretending to be dead?” Summer had fainted when Jasper entered the bathroom. She was lying on the floor in a flustered manner.

Jasper furrowed his eyebrows in disdain. He was slightly agitated. “Clean yourself up and get your a*s over here!”

“Jaz?” Summer regained consciousness, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. “You’re back!”

She washed up at lightning speed and went over to Jasper, pleasantly surprised by his sudden appearance as she stood before him. “Are you hungry? I’ve learned how to make sweet and sour ribs…”

“Come over here.” Jasper’s voice was icy as he cut Summer off.

Summer could sense the cold aura emanating from Jasper, and she carefully inched forward. “Jaz, I’ve not been feeling well for the past few days…”

“What’s the issue now? Do you get to decide when I come?” Jasper was feeling rather impatient, and he dragged Summer to him. “Do you also need me to tip you next time?”

Summer’s eyes turned red. She hesitated for a moment and shook her head. “That’s not what I meant…”

“Have you forgotten your place? I’m not keeping you here for no reason!” Jasper was in a foul mood because Victoria had been avoiding him for quite a few days.

Before she had returned to the country, Victoria had asked him if he wanted to marry her. However, after coming back, she was having second thoughts.

Jasper was starting to get sick of waiting. His grip on Summer’s hand tightened.

“It hurts…” Summer was in so much pain that she teared up, with splotches of blood appearing on her fair skin.

“Jaz, I’m in pain… Please, I really don’t feel well. Can you let me off the hook just for today…” Summer was feeling terrible, and her body was extremely hot to the touch.
