Synopsis

True and Fake Heiress

Bias

Winning Back the Wife

Face Slapping

Tragic Love

Plot Twists

I got into a car crash with my adoptive sister. The first person to rush to the scene was my childhood sweetheart, Jay Porter—the guy I'd been secretly seeing for two years. But Jay went to her first. He didn't even look my way as I sat there, bleeding heavily on the side of the road. I grabbed his hand, desperate to tell him I was pregnant. He just shook me off. "Sorry, Emma. Julia's delicate. I have to get her to the hospital now. Just wait here for the paramedics." By the time the rescue team got me to the hospital, I was out of immediate danger. But my baby... was gone. I wanted to confront Jay, to demand an explanation. Instead, I overheard him talking to a friend. "You played Emma this whole time, just for Julia's sake. Don't you think that's going too far?" Jay's reply was cold. "So what? Julia's just the Bourne family's adopted daughter—she's never been as protected and cherished as Emma, the precious heiress. That's exactly why it has to be me. I'll protect Julia. For her, I'd do anything." So it was all a lie. Every bit of love he'd ever shown me was just an act. After I was discharged, I went straight home and called my father. "Dad, can you make it so I never existed here? Erase all my records from this country."

Chapter 1
My father’s voice on the other end of the line was thick with concern. "Why the sudden decision, Emma? Did someone hurt you?"Tears pricked at my eyes, but I forced a light laugh. "I just... feel like a fresh start. A new identity.""Alright. Whatever you need, I'll make it happen. Just give me three days."He was silent for a moment before adding, "But I thought you were going to bring that boyfriend of yours home to meet me."His words were a knife to the heart. "We broke up," I said, my voice rough."Well, out with the old, in with the new. My daughter deserves nothing but the best."A beat later, he added, "I heard Julia has already agreed to be Jay's girlfriend. He's planning to propose in a few days. She may be our adopted daughter, but as her sister, you can't miss the occasion. Maybe some laughter and celebration will cheer you up?"Bitterness surged in waves, crashing over me until I could hardly breathe. My hand drifted to my flat belly. Forcing a smile onto my pale fa

I steadied my breath, pushed Jay away with resolve, and said, "I'm fine. It's just my period. Rest will do."Jay gave a knowing smile. "Then I'll make you some warm milk. Drink it, and get a good night's sleep."He bent down, carried me to the bed, and sighed with a helpless smile. "You never know how to take care of yourself. What will you do without me?"I smiled. "Without you, I'll live just fine."He froze, then pinched my cheek a little harder than usual. "Heartless girl. How could you live well without me? You should say, 'I'll stay by your side forever and never leave.' Understand?"With that, he turned and headed downstairs, smiling as if my words had been a joke.Only I knew every word I said was the truth.I had chased Jay for five years and hidden our relationship for two. The first year, he treated me with indifference. Only in the last year had our feelings grown seemingly inseparable.He began making me breakfast. He coaxed me awake in the mornings. He kissed me w

Jay glanced back at me."Julia's leg is injured. I'll take her first. Wait for me in the consultation room," he said, then strode away, carrying Julia in his arms.Leaning against his shoulder, she looked at me and flashed a triumphant smile.I wasn't surprised by his choice.The so-called devotion he had faked for me collapsed the moment Julia appeared.And yet he still thought he hid it well.I couldn't stop the mocking curl of my lips.Turning away, I forced myself toward the consultation room.The doctor warned me to keep calm. My body was fragile after the miscarriage. Too much grief would only make things worse.That was when a message popped up on my phone.Julia: [The moment I beckon, he comes back to me. What do you have to compete with?]The loved are always fearless.But I wasn't going to compete. I admitted defeat.Pocketing my phone, I went alone to collect my medicine. Jay never came.

I hadn't expected to run into Julia the moment I stepped out.Her face wore a warm, friendly smile as she said to me, "What a surprise, you came to this restaurant too. I thought it was a bit of a hidden gem. Jay picked this place to celebrate my twentieth birthday. I love the food here. I heard he spent over a month deciding on it."Though we both lived under the Bourne family's roof, I had nothing to say to her.I was about to leave when she suddenly grabbed my hand, her tone edged with mockery."Emma, you do have good taste. But this restaurant isn't really for you. Coming here once in a while is fine, but don't embarrass yourself by clinging where you don't belong."I knew what she meant—her veiled warning for me to stay away from Jay.I was about to shake her off in irritation when, to my shock, she suddenly staggered backward and fell hard to the ground.I froze. Before I could react, Jay came rushing over.Without a word, his hand struck across my face.A fiery sting sp

At last, I could leave.For the first time in days, my eyes lit up, and a rare smile curved my lips.Me: [Thank you, Dad.]I placed the recording and the abortion report on the table as my parting gift, then pulled my suitcase toward the airport.Jay's proposal was being livestreamed, playing on the screens even at the terminal. Every detail mirrored the scene I once dreamed of for myself… but it wasn't mine.Jay appeared in a perfectly tailored suit, his eyes brimming with joy. He dropped to one knee before Julia."Julia, will you marry me?"Julia's lips curved in a triumphant smile. With a coy softness, she answered, "I will."Fireworks burst, confetti rained, and cheers filled the air.I watched his radiant smile and found myself smiling too.It was good. He could chase his true love, and I could chase my freedom. Two paths, forever parted, each finding peace on their own.I sent him a message and boarded a one-way journey with no return.At the engagement party, as Jay

Julia watched Jay, frantic as he redialed my number again and again, her anxiety spiraling into fury.With one violent sweep, she sent everything on the table crashing to the floor, shattering into pieces."Jay, what the hell? Today is our engagement ceremony, and you run off to chase that bitch instead?"Her voice trembled with rage. "Do you think I don't know? You were with her for more than two years, and yet you kept telling me you loved me. Do you even know what love is? I told you I'd let it go, that I wouldn't hold it against you—and now you humiliate me in front of everyone!"His gaze fixed on her, cold and sharp, eyes dark with scrutiny. "The child in your belly… it's not mine, is it?"For a brief second, embarrassment flickered across Julia's face, but she quickly recovered."You're talking nonsense. How could it not be yours?"Jay didn't bother arguing. He simply pressed play on the recorder.Her own voice filled the room—her secret conversation with her best friend

Like a moth to a flame, I had once thrown myself headlong into the warmth I craved, only to forget that such devotion was always one-sided. The fire never yearned for the moth.Because I was never good at socializing, I found daily interactions difficult, yet in other ways, my solitude made life easier, even more comfortable.One afternoon, while photographing at Richter National Park, I came across a man sketching quietly by the lake. He had clear features, a tall, upright frame, and a warmth in his bearing that drew the eye.When he noticed my lingering gaze, he smiled. "I see you here often, taking photos. And every day you feed the stray cats and talk to them."Heat rushed to my cheeks as he laughed, repeating the little details I never thought anyone had noticed."Hello, I'm Chuck Bennet.""Emma Bourne."Turned out, Chuck was a fellow countryman.In a foreign land, it felt rare and precious to meet someone from home. An easy sense of familiarity settled between us. We exch

Julia gave a bleak, broken smile.At last, she understood it wasn't Emma's love that had been a joke, but her own years of self-righteous devotion were nothing more than a carefully woven lie."You want to know where Emma is? Take me to the hospital, and I'll tell you!"…Whether Jay regretted it or not no longer mattered to me. I didn't care, and I refused to care.In my world, his name had been erased for good.My life now was peaceful and fulfilling: language classes, photography lessons, feeding stray cats and dogs, and strolling through the park in the evening breeze. Everything felt unhurried and serene."Emma?"Chuck's voice pulled me from my feigned nap."What is it?" I asked curiously.He handed me a sketch. On the paper was a radiant young girl, her hair dancing with the wind as she lounged lazily on a deck chair. Sunlight poured over her face, gilding her features with a soft golden glow."This is… me?""Who else could it be?" he teased.I smiled as I accepted the

Jay turned to me, his expression full of helpless pleading."Emma, I love you. I can marry you. I can make our relationship public. Just forgive me, please? As long as you come back, I'll do anything. I know you're only with him to spite me. You've succeeded. I surrender. I really can't live without you!""Jay."I cut him off without hesitation."I once liked you. But that was only because I had never been loved properly before. I mistook the scraps of kindness you tossed me for love."But now I have something real, something good. And I can tell you, without the slightest hesitation… I don't love you anymore. In fact, the sight of you disgusts me.""I—" He stood there, shattered, words choking in his throat. He wanted to speak, but nothing came out.I went on, "We've known each other for so many years. I hope we can part with at least a shred of dignity. Don't make me despise you any more than I already do."With that, I no longer spared him a glance. I took Chuck's hand and w
