Slip of Love, Fall of Fate

The baby growing inside Solana Summers belonged to Isaiah Jeffries, her uncle by title, but not by blood. When Solana was just seven, her parents were killed in an overseas explosion during a business trip. The Summers family once helped Isaiah, so he took her in and raised her himself. Young Solana was so well-behaved that it broke people's hearts, so he handled everything personally without handing her off to others. Just like that, Isaiah raised the seven-year-old girl into a 17-year-old young woman. At Jeffries Manor, Solana only grew close to Isaiah and loved to cling to him alone. As she became older and her feelings bloomed, she couldn't help falling for the man who had saved her. On the night of her 18th birthday, she got a little drunk and used the liquid courage to confess her feelings. Then, on impulse, she stood on her toes and kissed him. Isaiah had always been self-disciplined. Yet, that night, he had just one drink and was already burning up. His mind

As she watched the pair in front of her getting flirty under the table again, Solana felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She was still weak from the abortion procedure. After sitting with the Jeffries for so long, her back ached too much to continue. Since Cedric had nothing more to discuss with her, Solana excused herself, saying she was tired and needed to rest. She lay on her bed, looking at every decoration in the room with a heavy heart. Isaiah had personally arranged every corner of this bedroom. He used to take care of everything for her, down to the most minor details, but now the distance between them had never felt greater. Her nose stung, and she was on the verge of tears.Solana hadn't been back in her room long when Isaiah walked in without even knocking. She was startled, and she could not help but wonder how long it had been since they'd spoken after he moved out. Even when they inevitably ran into each other in this house, he wouldn't even look at her. Now,

Just then, Alyssa suddenly cried out from the passenger seat. "Oh no! Isaiah, what should I do? I forgot to close my window! "The little plant you gave me is still on the windowsill, and with such heavy rain, I'll be heartbroken if it gets ruined. That's the little plant you potted for me on my birthday. "It's the only thing that gives me hope when my depression kicks in. I treasure it more than my own life!" Through the rearview mirror, Solana noticed Alyssa's gaze directed right at her. She suddenly realized that Alyssa was doing this intentionally. "I'll turn around and send you home right now!" Isaiah agreed without hesitation. "Yes! Isaiah, you're the best!" Alyssa beamed, her face lit up with the happiness that she didn't even try to hide. Then, she looked hesitantly toward the back seat. She said uncertainly, "Isaiah, this means Sol will have to make an extra trip with us. Won't that delay her doctor's appointment?" The car suddenly screeched to a stop on the roads

Solana silently prayed that nothing would happen. After all, she had just promised Isaiah she would help watch Alyssa. Moreover, she was leaving soon and didn't want to create any unnecessary conflicts. If something happened to Alyssa, Isaiah would punish her again by locking her in the dark room at the mountain villa.Just thinking about that dark room made her whole body tremble. The day her parents died in the accident, she stayed home alone for one night before Isaiah came to get her the next day. No one ever knew how she managed to get through that night. She had hidden inside a pitch-black closet, too scared to fall asleep. From then on, she developed severe claustrophobia.Isaiah knew about it. That was why he'd always made sure not to leave her home alone. However, in her past life, Alyssa frequently provoked her after their engagement, and he locked her up several times to vent his anger on Alyssa's behalf. Even though Alyssa was always the one who started the trouble,

Solana had Sarah drive her to one last place before they headed for the airport. It wasn't until the plane finally took off that it hit her that she had truly left behind the tragic fate of her past life.After landing in Fruances, Solana immediately settled all her enrollment paperwork and threw herself into her new academic life. The professors at this college were known for their strictness, so Solana didn't dare slack off for even a moment.Meanwhile, Isaiah had just returned to the country. He had been delayed while dropping Alyssa off at home. Her condition had improved during their few days of vacation abroad, but she had another episode on the journey back.Alyssa was crying hysterically, completely falling apart. "Isaiah, are you going to marry her? I know you don't have a choice, but it still breaks my heart. "I can't accept that the man I love most is about to marry another woman. I'm so heartbroken that I feel like I'm dying!" In the past, whenever Alyssa had a depre
