Janet Winget POV

“Tell me one thing—why were you the one on the floor? You let her bully you again?”

Lucian’s anger radiated from every word as we sat on his couch, the air between us tight with tension.

He dabbed antiseptic on the split in my lip, the sting sharp enough to make my eyes flutter shut.

Tears still streamed down my cheeks. I felt like exactly what Lia wanted me to feel—filthy. Small. Pathetic.

Worse, Lucian had to see me like this.

“Are you going to answer me, Janet?”

He didn’t need to raise his voice. The force behind it hit just the same.

“Why are you so cruel?” I choked on the sob that caught in my throat. “You think I like getting bullied?”

Pain already crawled under my skin, thick and unrelenting. His words only pressed it deeper.

Why does he sound like I’m the problem?

Because I am. I let Lia get away with too much for too long. But today—I gave it all back to her. Every vicious ounce.

Yet I’m the one sitting here, catching the brunt of his wrath.

I bolted upright. “Yes, Dad.”Of course I recognized his voice—the man who might be the reason I exist, yet never cared if I did.“Come to the Winget mansion. We have something that needs to be discussed,” he said.I didn’t know if I wanted to go. But I knew one thing—saying no wasn’t an option.“Okay.” The line went dead.Did he find out about what happened between me and Lia two days ago? I know Lia wouldn’t have let it slide.I was the one who ended up injured, yet knowing my parents, they’d still take Lia’s side.And here I thought things were finally steady.

    Janet Winget POVHow could I forget they never cared about anything but their precious reputation?They were the ones who sent me to prison—for a ring. A damn ring. When I wasn’t even the culprit.And now I’m the one who spoiled everything?As for the pregnancy—it’s a lie. But I won’t correct them.Lucian made that claim, and I won’t deny it. Not to them.“The prison thing—you tried to bury it, didn’t you?” My voice cracked through the silence. “So why is it my fault? You threw a birthday party on the same day I got out. You think I asked to be released then? You think I informed the media?” I laughed bitterly. “They dug it up themselves.”I’d had enough. Enough of the blame, the accusations, the rewriting of history.I regretted coming here the moment I stepped through the door. What was I thinking? That maybe, somehow, they’d see me?

    Janet Winget POV“Janet, get a job and try to be civil.”The prison guard’s voice scraped against my nerves. I nodded lazily, barely listening. Three years locked away for a crime I never committed. Not a single visitor. My own parents and fiancé had betrayed me—all to “teach me a lesson.”The moment I stepped outside, cold rain hit my skin relentlessly. Perfect. Because when has my life ever gone right?I took a step forward.A Porsche screeched to a stop in front of me.My breath hitched. I knew that car. Knew the plate number. Knew the man inside the car.Dalton Maris. My fiancé. My betrayer.The window rolled down, revealing the face I hadn’t seen in three years. Still devastatingly handsome. Still cruel.“Get in.” His voice was the same. Calm. Commanding. Like nothing had happened. Like he hadn’t let me rot in prison without a word.My body screamed run, but my mind tangled itself in the past. I shouldn’t have cared. I shouldn’t have felt anything.But I did.I swallowed hard. “I

    Janet Winget POV“Uncle?”Did I hear that right? Did Dalton just call the man who kissed me—Uncle?“Yes, my dear little nephew,” the man replied, his tone dripping with sarcasm—impossible to miss.The party had already been stunned into silence, but now, the air felt even heavier, as if no one dared to breathe.There was something about this man, something I couldn't quite pinpoint.Terrifying.Dalton grabbed my hand. “How are you, Uncle?”A shiver ran through me. ‘Dalton never touches me—at least not willingly.’And yet, here he was, holding my hand, fingers tightening like he was anchoring himself to reality. This was the same Dalton who had smiled just moments ago when my parents announced his engagement to Lia—completely forgetting about me.The same Dalton who had acted as if nothing had happened when this mysterious uncle of his had stolen a kiss from me. Commendable.I never even knew Dalton had an uncle.“You’re holding the wrong hand, Dalton,” the man said, his voice smooth b

    Janet Winget POVI couldn't deal with the lies this man was spewing. Doesn't he realize how visible his lies are?Dalton, Lia, and my family knew I'd been in jail for the past three years. How am I supposed to be with him now?Even though he came here planning to lie, he should have at least gotten his facts straight before making claims.“Uncle, I think we need to talk alone,” Dalton said, his hand firm on my arm, Lia clinging to him.“He's right, Mr. Ashford,” my father added, stepping down from the stage, my mother following closely behind.Lucian’s gaze clung to me. “Sure, I don't mind. But I'd prefer it if you kept your hands off my woman.” His arm shot out, yanking me from Dalton's grasp, pulling me tightly against his side.I trembled inwardly, forcing myself not to show how deeply Lucian’s touch was affecting me.If looks could kill, Dalton would have buried me alive—shameless. Lia still hung on his arm, yet he stared at me like I was the betrayer.“Let's go,” Dalton said shar

    Lucian Ashford POV"What?!" she gasped, eyes widening in shock.If only she knew how true my words were—her scent, her presence, driving me to the brink of madness.How dare the Winget family—and Dalton Maris—treat her like they did.They would all pay. Every single one of them."Stop wriggling," I murmured, my voice low, "you're only making me want to kiss you more.""Have some shame," Janet snapped, pushing against me. I tightened my hold, her struggles only fueling my need."I'm still your nephew’s fiancée," she hissed.My lips curled into a slow, mocking smile. "You still have the guts to call yourself that? After he threw you in jail? After he humiliated you today?"More than anger, I felt pity. She really is clueless.After everything Dalton had done, clinging to that title was nothing short of pathetic.Janet stiffened in my arms, her fists pressing weakly against my chest. She wouldn't meet my eyes. Maybe she already knew how pathetic it sounded."Let go of me, Lucian," she wh

    Janet Winget POV"Wake up, Janet."At the sound of my name, I lazily opened my eyes, my body feeling unbearably heavy.Cold air brushed against my skin as my gaze landed on Lucian—walking while carrying me in his arms.Instantly, I jolted awake.When the fuck did I fall asleep?Maybe it was the way he’d been holding me, cradling me on his lap, his touch so careful, so comforting. It must've lulled me without me even realizing.This man is so sweet to me—even though he claims it's all for his own benefit—something he refuses to explain.But in my entire life, no one had ever treated me with such gentleness.I didn’t want to trust it. I shouldn’t trust it. Yet somehow, his actions made it impossibly hard not to."I can walk, you know," I muttered.Lucian looked down at me and smiled—God, he looked dangerously handsome when he smiled."And I can carry," he said. "That's what you should know."My heart slammed against my ribs like it had a mind of its own. Not even with Dalton had it ever

    Janet Winget POV“It’s surprising.”What does he mean? Of course I would think this way—after the way he kissed me, after not telling me why he helped me or what he wanted.Now he’s taken me to this expensive hotel for dinner, and this is the only thing running through my head: he wants to sleep with me.“What is surprising?” I said, taking a bite of my food. It melted on my tongue, burning it slightly.His eyebrows lifted. “That without even drinking a sip of wine, you’re already drunk enough to ask that.”I narrowed my eyes. He was definitely teasing me.“If you don’t want to sleep with me, then why did you kiss me?”“I didn’t say I don’t want to sleep with you.”My blood ran hot. “Why are you confusing me?”“There’s nothing to be confused about. You asked, and I replied.” Lucian cut his food with elegant precision.How can he move so gracefully when we’re talking about something so filthy?“Are you playing games with me? What exactly is your problem? Why do you keep throwing more q

    Janet Winget POVHer words did something to my heart. The ease with which she hurled such filth—like it cost her nothing. And yet she was all the things she accused me of.She was the one who stole my fiancé. Not the other way around.“Lia, we both know who the real whore is. You already have Dalton—what more do you want?” I needed to understand.She ruined everything. Took my parents. Took Dalton. And still she had to come here, spewing poison like it gave her purpose.“Because a slut like you deserves to suffer for the rest of her miserable life,” she seethed, shoving me so hard I lost my balance and hit the floor.“Ah—” Pain ripped through my spine as I landed.She crouched, leveled with me, and gripped my face, squeezing my cheeks until my jaw throbbed. “This is your place. At my feet.”I clenched my fist, spat in her face. “And this is what you deserve, Lia.”Her eyes went wide. She froze, like her brain couldn’t quite catch up with what just happened. But I had done it—finally d

    Lia Winget POV“What?” Lucian frowned, confusion flickering in his eyes.Yeah, that’s right. I want to talk to this bitch Janet. Just her and me. Not with Dalton. Not with Lucian. I can’t.Lucian would just keep interfering—doing his little knight-in-shining-armor act—never letting me tear into her the way she deserves.This bitch. Years of scheming to ruin her life, and here she is, draped in pity, acting like some tragic heroine. Again, someone’s backing her. Again, she wriggled out of the gutter I shoved her into.I hated her from the start. From the moment she walked into the Winget family like she belonged—like I didn’t. She always made me feel like I wasn’t the real daughter. Which I wasn’t, so I fixed it.I took her parents. Her fiancé. Tossed her into prison. She doesn’t get happiness—not while I’m breathing.She’ll rot in misery for the sin of being the Winget family’s real daughter.I might be adopted, but even she knows I’m worth more. She’s the side piece I crush under my

    Janet Winget POVEven I wanted to ask her why it mattered what I did, or why Lucian gave me the job after everything.It’s not like I took the job from Maris or the Winget family.Why can’t she just see me happy?Even though she’s the adopted daughter of my parents, they never cared for me. She never saw me as her sister.When I was a child, I used to see her as a sister—but she always made sure I remembered: even after sharing blood with my own parents, they were her parents.After spoiling my life, after putting me in jail—She really had to come here, insult me, act like I’m the problem.What did I even do to her? Nothing I can remember.And even if I did, she already ruined my whole life. What more does she need? Can’t she just leave me alone now—let me live?What wrong did I ever do to Dalton? Just loved him more than myself.And even he never once thought about how much pain he caused me.Sitting here, holding Lia in his arms, when not long ago he told me I was still his fiancée

    Janet Winget POV“Miss, we are here,” the driver announced, breaking my train of thought.“Thank you.” I climbed out of the cab. Yeah, Lucian agreed to let me go alone without him.It had taken a few arguments, but in the end, he relented.With one condition—that I take a cab rather than any other means of transport.I had wanted to argue about that too, but I didn’t want to be even later or spark a bigger fight.Facing the large building in front of me, my heart hammered faster than it already was.Why wouldn’t it?I had a job now—a stable one. Happiness bloomed in my chest, boundless and bright.At least after suffering my whole life, I finally had something I could call mine.I walked inside. Yesterday, the secretary had shown me around, but now, alone, the place felt so much bigger.Lucian really was something. As far as I knew, he had no ties to the Maris family, so building this business on his own, without any support, was impressive.I clutched the strap of my bag a little tig

    Janet Winget POV“Why are you not ready yet?”As I came out of my room, I saw Lucian, already dressed in a three-tiered suit, sipping something from a cup.My mind rebooted. Damn, I forgot he’s going to stay here from now on.I glanced down at myself, realizing I was still in my night suit, looking like a complete fool.He scanned me from head to toe. “You look no less than a cutie, Janet.”Why could I hear the mocking in his voice? “What are you doing?”“Are you still sleepy? Can’t you see I’m drinking coffee? We only have one hour left before we need to leave for the office.” His words snapped my brain awake.I had overslept after staying up too late last night, exhaustion dragging me down even now.Even my mind felt foggy, still trying to catch up from sleep.“I’m going to be late.” I spun around and hurried back into my room to get ready.“You won’t get late. When the boss of the company is sitting here, no matter how long you take, you can never be late,” Lucian called after me.

The idea had come to me suddenly.And it would work better this way. I wasn’t about to let the Maris family find any excuse to insult me—or Janet.She didn’t realize I was the only well-wisher she’d ever had.I loved it that way, even if it hurt sometimes that she didn’t remember me. Didn’t remember the promises we’d made together.Still, it was better than having nothing at all.Dalton had come into her life before me, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t erase his existence.I would be the last—and only—man in Janet’s life.“I cooked, so don’t you think you should wash the dishes?” I pointed toward her as she started to leave.I didn’t actually want her to wash them. I could’ve done it myself. But this way, I’d get a little more time with her.I wanted to spend every second I could—her cute reactions always
