Se connecterFelix and I had been inseparable for ten years, and everyone thought we would end up married. When he got into fights at school, I took the blame and got expelled in his place. When he slept with countless women, I delivered birth control pills and breakup money in his place. I had always played the part of the shameless doormat, and everyone believed I loved him more than life itself. But the moment he took over as the heir to his family's fortune, he dumped me. He looked at me with scorn and disdain. "Kathy, maybe once upon a time we were in love, but it's been too long. You're dull, and you've drained away every ounce of my affection. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with you, so get out of my sight. I'm going to marry someone I truly love." Everyone was waiting to watch me fall apart. But when I saw the hospital's proof that my mother had been cured, and the extra hundred million dollars in my bank account, I genuinely smiled. "Fine. I'll leave," I said. The truth was, I had stayed with a player like him only because of a business deal. Now that I had the money, it was time for me to walk away.

I spent ten years of my youth standing by your side through everything—ten years of wounds and heartbreak. Don't you think I earned it?"Without waiting for his answer, I stepped off the stage and left. Let people say what they wanted—because in my eyes, a woman's youth deserved an equal exchange.Felix stood there in a daze, hollow-eyed, as if his soul had left him. When Eleanor reached out to comfort him, he jerked away violently and barked, "Don't touch me!"Startled, Eleanor burst into tears, trembling all over, too afraid to try again.It didn't take long for the story to spread online. The public turned on me, calling me greedy, accusing me of using love as a way to chase money. They dug into my past, tearing apart my life piece by piece, but I didn't care. The moment I accepted that money, I'd built a heart of
Eleanor, overwhelmed and humiliated, stormed onto the stage, shouting without restraint. "Felix, what are you doing? Where does this leave me?"Felix glanced at her helplessly, his voice unusually tinged with guilt. "I'm sorry. I can't forget Kathy. The one I love has always been her."Fury flared across Eleanor's face. She snatched the bouquet from his hands and hurled it onto the floor, her usual gentleness nowhere to be seen. "You're lying! I'm the one you love! I'm the one you're supposed to marry!"Felix's expression hardened, his tone heavy. "Eleanor, I don't love you. What I feel for you is nothing more than the affection of a sibling. We grew up together, and what exists between us is family, not love."His words struck her like a thunderbolt. Unable to accept them, she broke down screaming, her voice raw with disbelief. The reporters, sensing a spectacle, swarmed forward, snapping photo after photo.I frowned and shook my head at the scene. "Felix, stop this nonsense. Go
Felix looked utterly stunned, his expression darkening with growing frustration. "That's impossible!"Seeing how hurt he looked, I couldn't help but feel puzzled. Wasn't he the one who didn't love me? Was this sudden display of affection supposed to be an act?I let out a bitter laugh and tore through his pretense. "Felix, the only reason you've ever liked women is because they're new to you. You never truly loved me."He shook his head in a panic. "No, you've got it wrong."I didn't give him a chance to finish. "Enough. The past is over. No matter what we say now, it won't change what's already happened. Don't make me hate you more than I already do."His eyes widened sharply as if he couldn't believe his ears. "You… hate me?"I met his gaze without flinching. "Yes, I do."He froze, his face sinking into silence. I pointed at the door. "Go."Stiffly, he turned and walked out. As the door closed behind him, I heard his muffled voice. "Wait for me. I'll prove my sincerity."I p
Eleanor had finally recovered from the blow. Her face still carried traces of anger and resentment as she lifted her chin arrogantly. "Kathy, even if you're the chief designer now, I'll catch up to you soon enough—and take your place."A faint, mocking smile curved across my lips. "Sure. I'll be waiting for the day you do."Feeling drained, I stifled a yawn and turned to Davis. "Let's go. The air here's suffocating."He nodded, and together we walked out.…After dinner, Davis and I went our separate ways, and I returned to the hotel. The moment I opened my door, a figure darted in beside me, pulled me into the room, and pinned me against the wall.I almost shouted in alarm, but the familiar scent made me pause. When I looked up and saw Felix, my voice died in my throat. I stared at him silently, my gaze cool and distant.Under my cold eyes, he grew uneasy, almost unable to meet my gaze. "Why did you leave back then?" he asked quietly.I gave a lazy shrug. "Didn't you tell me t
