LOGINAfter hearing Bianca's accusations, a friend beside me who knew the truth couldn't contain themselves anymore. "You're the last person on earth who has the right to say that! In order to build a life with you, he gave up a life of luxury and cut ties with his family. "If not, do you seriously think someone of your status would ever have been accepted by a prominent family? He gave up so much for you and stuck by your side through thick and thin, yet you not only failed him, but you also have the nerve to stand here and spout nonsense!"As soon as his rebukes sank in, Bianca shuddered. Her eyes misted over as she looked at me affectionately. "I know I messed up, Kie."The very next second, she dropped to her knees in front of me and pleaded, "I admit it was wrong of me to favor him. I was muddle-headed and lost my mind for a moment. Can you please give me another chance? "I'll definitely make it up to you. I swear I'll never treat you like that again!"Seeing Bianca bawling her e
I remembered it like it was yesterday. That was five years ago, right at the start of our marriage. Bianca and I had been commuting home from the office on my birthday. I'd casually pointed at a cheap figurine and said it looked nice. In truth, I'd wanted her to pay a little more attention to me. I had been hoping against hope that she might actually remember it was my birthday.But her head had been buried in her work. After looking up for a moment, she responded half-heartedly, "Yeah, it's nice. Let's head home first. I still have some work to take care of."I had nodded in disappointment. I had even fantasized that she might be doing what people did in TV shows. Perhaps she was acting like she didn't know anything, when in fact she'd already planned a surprise for me at home. Yet, the moment I flipped the light switch, there was absolutely nothing. Later on, she'd apologized and confessed she had forgotten it was my birthday. However, she hadn't even bothered to make it up
In the video, Jesse was on one knee, holding a bouquet of flowers and proposing. Surrounded by a crowd chanting, "Say yes! Say yes!", Bianca bashfully accepted both the ring and the flowers. I couldn't help but remember when I'd wanted to give her a romantic proposal, she told me it was too embarrassing. She had literally told me that if I ever pulled a stunt like that, she wouldn't marry me. In the end, I was the one who backed down. Looking back on it now, it seemed she hadn't wanted me to propose in public simply because she thought I was too embarrassing to be seen with. As soon as the video was shared, Bianca spawned in the chat and snapped, "Delete it, all of you! If you have nothing better to do than gossip during work hours, pack your bags and leave! Quit slacking off and gossiping here!"Her sudden outburst made everyone smack their foreheads in realization. There were so many people in the group chat that they had completely forgotten that Bianca was in it too. This wa
Dad let out a soft sigh. "Let the boy eat first. He hasn't eaten a thing all day." Mom smacked her forehead. "Oh, right, would you look at that? I've become muddle-headed. Let's eat! "We'll go for the check-up after dinner. Look at you; you have no idea how to take care of yourself! How did you lose so much weight?" Surrounded by my parents' love and concern, a lump formed in my throat, and my tears finally spilled over. In the eyes of my family, my safety and well-being mattered most. Yet, in Bianca's eyes, everything else took precedence over me. The contrast between those who truly cared about me and those who didn't had been glaringly obvious all along. I had just been too love-struck to see them. Now, I finally saw reality for what it was. Fortunately, it wasn't too late. After dinner, Mom and Dad rushed me to the hospital to get a full-body checkup. Once they confirmed that I was fine and just needed plenty of rest, they finally let out a sigh of relief. …The foll
As soon as I emerged, they surrounded me. I couldn't help but chuckle, shaking my head. "Save it. I can't hold a candle to Jesse. I can't possibly accept such high praise from you all." An awkward silence instantly fell over them. Bianca panicked and nervously asked me, "How much did you hear?" "From the moment you called me a broke nobody and said I didn't deserve to celebrate my birthday. I heard every single word after that. It's hilarious, really. All these years, I actually bought your bullshit, believing you were just too busy with work to make it. Turns out, you just thought throwing me a birthday party was a waste of money." But how much could a birthday cake possibly cost? I surrendered my monthly salary and all my commissions to her, yet I wasn't even allowed to have a damn birthday cake? To make matters worse, she couldn't even bring herself to wire me a little more money. She only sent "massive" amounts under 15 dollars each time to placate me whenever she did som
Struggling to process the massive bombshell, Bianca gaped at me. "She's your older sister? You're the scion of the Wrights, the wealthiest family in the country?"Bianca's friends couldn't believe their ears. All of them immediately erupted. "You must've made a mistake! Jesse's your brother.""Say something, Jesse! Didn't you tell us that you're the scion of the Wright family?""Could it be that… the Wrights have two sons? Are you two actually brothers?" In an instant, their minds conjured up an entire high-society soap opera, wondering if Jesse was my half-brother. After all, why else couldn't he carry the Wright family name? Jesse hadn't expected the truth to come out like this either. He looked at me, utterly stupefied. It had never crossed his mind that I was the true scion of the Wright family. For the last six months, he had been using his fake identity to lord it over me. Looking back on it now, he was like a clown. Faced with their interrogation, Jesse didn't make a
