Met My True Love Afrer Escaping the Billionaire Twins

I don’t remember how I managed to drive out of the Johnson estate.The rain was pouring down, and even with the windshield wipers frantically swaying back and forth, they couldn’t clear the blur in front of my eyes. Kalen’s vicious laughter and Gavin’s cold verdict echoed in my ears like a curse, repeating over and over again.Elena… that name was like a curse.Just because she had been injured saving someone in that fire, everything she did was forgiven by Gavin as "trauma response."But I couldn't forget.In our years at St. Andrews Private High School, she was the queen reigning from above, while I was the mud beneath her feet.Just because I refused to help her cheat, she led the cheerleaders to corner me in the locker room, cut up my uniform, and dunked my head into the toilet while flushing it.She spread rumors that I was the kind of girl who would sleep with anyone for money. She had those rich playboys hide needles in my dance shoes, watching me dance on stage with bloodied fe

I don't know how long I lay unconscious in that cold, damp wine cellar.A heavy, dragging pain throbbed in my abdomen, as if a hand were viciously tearing at my uterus.I curled up on the moldy carpet, my clothes soaked in cold sweat, my consciousness fading in and out.Until a click sounded—the lock turning.Harsh light flooded in, and I instinctively shielded my eyes with my hand.Standing at the door was Elena.She was dressed in a bright, glamorous dress, covering her nose and looking at my disheveled state with pure disdain."Oh my, sister-in-law, I'm so sorry."Though she apologized, her eyes danced with malicious glee."I was having so much fun these past two days, I accidentally forgot you were down here. Gavin kept thinking you were sulking in your room and refusing to come out for meals."I struggled to stand up, bracing myself against the wall, the cramping in my lower abdomen making it nearly impossible to straighten my back.Not wanting to conflict with her again, I weakly

I lay in the ICU, unconscious for a full day.When I woke up, my throat burned like I had swallowed a handful of razor blades.Gavin sat by the bed, suited up and looking as dignified as ever. Seeing me wake up, he reached out to hold my hand, his face wearing just the right amount of concern."Ivy, you're finally awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"I snatched my hand back as if I'd been electrocuted and closed my eyes, refusing to look at his hypocritical face.Gavin didn't get angry. He patiently tucked the quilt around me, a hint of helpless explanation in his tone."Ivy, I know you're angry with me. But the situation was critical. Elena has a history of asthma; if we didn't medicate her immediately, lives would be at risk.""And you... you're a doctor. I knew you understood how to save yourself, and your physical constitution is better than hers. I thought you were just acting that severely to spite me.""We're getting married soon; we're a team with shared interests. You s

It was the final day before the wedding.I had to return to the Johnson estate to retrieve my passport and ID.As I reached the top of the spiral staircase, Elena blocked my path like a phantom.At that moment, Gavin and Kalen were downstairs in the study discussing the wedding flow, leaving the hallway deserted.Elena dropped her facade of fragility. She crossed her arms, looking down at me with a smirk full of malice."Ivy, how do you even have the face to come back?"I clenched my fists and stared at her coldly. "None of your business. Move.""Tsk, still so tough?"Elena leaned in a step closer, lowering her voice to a whisper filled with provocation."I'll let you in on a secret. That day in the forest? Gavin knew I was faking my injury the whole time. But he still chose to take me away and leave you there like a dog.""Oh, and about those ashes... I didn't actually flush them down the toilet. I mixed them into the dog food for the estate's mastiff. I watched that dog lick the bowl

The wedding bells had already rung.Gavin loosened his tie with some impatience, still holding the black velvet gift box in his hand."Where is Ivy? Is she still throwing a tantrum and refusing to come out?"He asked Kalen.Kalen shrugged, looking indifferent. "Who knows? She's not in the room, and she's not picking up her phone. She's probably hiding somewhere waiting for you to go coax her."Gavin frowned but didn't think much of it."Forget it, I'll put this on first."He opened the gift box, intending to take out the pair of cufflinks.However, what met his eyes was a cheap plain diamond ring stained with dried blood.Gavin's movements froze abruptly.That was the ring I had been clutching yesterday when I miscarried.His heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable unease began to spread through his chest.With trembling hands, he picked up the documents pressed underneath the ring.[Declaration of Severance of Relationship].[Commitment to Waive All Property Gifted by the Johnson Fa
