    ***The sound of shattering objects echoed throughout Renata’s room. A vase, a small mirror, even a photo frame—everything was thrown carelessly, breaking into pieces scattered across the floor. Renata’s face was flushed with rage, her breathing heavy, her eyes burning with hatred. The failure of her plan to kidnap Anastasia had truly driven her into a frenzy.“They’re useless!” Renata screamed, kicking the shards of glass across the floor. “Damn it! How dare those lowlifes refuse my money?” Her voice rang with fury that refused to subside.In the midst of her anger, she yanked open the drawer of her vanity and pulled out a small box, retrieving a tiny bottle filled with white pills. Renata stared at it with unwavering determination.“If I can’t kidnap her, then I’ll use another way,” she muttered with a faint smirk. “I’ll sleep with Max… and with this,” she lifted the pills, “I’ll become his wife.”Before Renata could continue her monologue, her bedroom door suddenly opened.

    ***With trembling hands, Anastasia clutched the document Maximilian had given her. Her heart felt heavy with anger and pain. Her eyes blurred and tears slowly flowed, unable to be held back any longer."My own grandfather and grandmother... Did they cause the accident? Why were they so cruel?" she sobbed, her voice breaking mid-sentence. "No wonder... When I came to the Noire family, they all hated me. Especially Grandpa and Grandma. From the start, they ignored my presence. I was always ostracized.”Maximilian could only sigh deeply, his gaze filled with concern. “Ana, all of this is because of your father. He decided to marry Aria on the condition that you be accepted into the Noire family," he replied softly.Anastasia furrowed her brow as if unable to believe what she was hearing. “Papa? Why did he want me to join the Noire family so badly? Didn't he always show that he hated me? He was always cold and indifferent. Even in his eyes, there was hatred when he looked at me..." she s
