Not long after Josh Stewart proposed to me, the Stewart family went bankrupt. He took on three jobs, pouring everything he had into taking care of me. Every morning, he handed me the first cup of coffee, and the only fresh bagel on the table was always mine. He would pull me into his arms and promise, softly but firmly, that once he had saved his first 100,000 dollars, he would marry me. I believed every word. Until the day I stepped into an exclusive private club and saw him with his childhood sweetheart, their fingers intertwined, as he ordered a bottle of Lafite without a second thought. "If Yvette still hasn't realized in three days that Donald's been pretending to be you, then you win," she said with a smile. "Her eyesight isn't great," Josh replied, a hint of amusement in his voice. "And Donald avoids women. She won't notice. If I win, you're coming abroad with me for the wedding." I stood there, just out of sight, listening. A small smile tugged at my lips. Perhaps… it was time to find myself a different groom.

He sent me a location almost immediately. I grabbed my bag and headed out. However, the moment I arrived, something felt off.After a few sips of coffee, my vision started to blur. By the time I came back to my senses, I was lying on an operating table. Voices floated around me."I only want her to be temporarily blind. You're sure her vision will recover afterward?""Don't worry. This technique is very mature. It'll only take an hour."My body felt weak, my vision hazy.Still, I reached out and grabbed someone's arm. "I don't agree."The person noticed I was still conscious and pushed me back down. I was given another dose of anesthesia."Ms. Snyder, Mr. Brooks has already signed the consent form. Please cooperate."Donald? I shook my head, trying to stay awake. Memories of him flashed through my mind like a reel on fast forward. The way he used to gently hold my hand, slowing his steps to match mine. The way he kissed my eyes and promised that when he had money, he would ge

"What did you just call me?" Donald's hand trembled as he waved it in front of my eyes.I smiled and gently pushed it aside. "Donald, the person you're supposed to marry today… isn't me, right? Did you have fun playing with me all this time?"He dropped to the ground, his face pale. Several times, he tried to speak, but nothing came out. In the end, he lowered his head, covering his face, defeated.When I left, he did not try to stop me.Downstairs, the moment my father saw me, he raised his hand to hit me. I caught his wrist midair. His eyes widened as he stared into mine, clear and steady."You little liar! You pretended to be blind and fooled me for all these years. If you try to run today, I'll break your legs."I did not even flinch. I pointed casually toward the chaotic banquet hall behind us. "The groom ran off. Doesn't that make the bride look even worse?"Before he could react, I hailed a cab and left.…The day I secured the family's assets, I finally buried my mom's

Josh's face went pale as he snatched the phone and zoomed in on the photo. When he saw the name 'Linda Snyder', he let out a breath. "After Whitney and I finish the ceremony, I'll go check it out."Such deep brotherhood.I wondered if he would still be smiling and offering congratulations when he saw me at Donald's wedding. I lifted my skirt and walked back.Whitney's voice message popped up again. "Yvette, why aren't you here yet? The surprise I prepared for you is about to be revealed."I did not bother replying. I just deleted it and blocked her.The moment I stepped back into the hall, I ran into Donald. The boy who used to wear cheap hoodies had shed that look, returning to the icy, untouchable heir everyone knew.One second ago, he still had that usual annoyed expression. The next, his eyes were red as he grabbed my hand.I pulled away cleanly. My voice was glacial. "Sir, I don't know you."He froze like he had been struck. He took a step toward me, but his phone rang.
