ผู้เขียน: Perfect Timing
"It's probably just a coincidence," Timothy said with a hint of surprise.

"The Kingsley family's daughter has been studying abroad for years. Also, Lewis Group is already well known. If Lena's real parents were still around, they would've come forward immediately to claim her."

Meanwhile, I was adjusting to my new family at the Kingsley family's residence.

"Mrs. Ki- Mom... it's really not necessary," I said, staring at the mountain of food piled on my plate. I wasn't sure how to react to this.

"You're too thin. You need to eat more," Beatrice said with a look of pure affection in her eyes.

Then she seemed to realize something and picked up my plate.

    As Isabella's guardian, Timothy was contacted by the police. After all, he had once taken Isabella in.His eyes met mine, filled with guilt.The Kingsley family had severed their ties with him, and now Lewis Group was just another ordinary company. It was no longer the powerhouse it once was.As for Christopher, his betrayal had come with consequences.He had actually slept with Isabella.Now, he was a shadow of his former self. He holed up at home, drowning his sorrows in alcohol.Jacob supported me as we stood there, his gaze at Timothy cold and unyielding.Timothy's eyes then fell on my slightly rounded belly, shock evident in his expression."Lena, you..."I nodded slightly, keeping my tone composed. "Hello, Mr. Lewis."The formality of calling him "Mr. Lewis" put an end to any connection between us.He shook his head smiling bitterly. He knew that we could never go back to how things were.-Christopher's life ended quickly. He was buried in the same cemetery as Mia.

    "I think that was really Lena," Christopher's face turned ghostly pale."That's nonsense, that was the daughter of the Kingsley family… the Kingsley…" Timothy's voice suddenly trailed off. "It's impossible… I'm Lena's only family."They took their seats, only to see Hayden gently helping me toward Jacob's side.The smile on my face seemed to stab at their hearts!"Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband…""She doesn't!""I object!"Before the officiant could finish, two voices rang out, completely out of place!I cast a brief glance in their direction. Hayden and my parents looked visibly upset.Even though I didn't speak up, they had noticed something was off with me these past few days.A little investigation revealed the pain and frustration I had suffered over the years.The expressions on their faces were unpleasant when they found out. All the investments they had made into Lewis Group were supposed to be a sign of gratitude for looking after me all thes

    When it was time to pick out my wedding dress, my hand was still wrapped in a medical splint.My mom and Amelia stood beside me, helping me try on one dress after another.Each time, they showered me with compliments."Jake is one lucky guy.""My daughter is a natural model. She looks good in anything."I smiled, my eyes filled with joy, until I saw the dress at the very end.A wave of shock crossed my face.It was the dress I had designed three years ago when I won the design competition!The prize money had been used as the startup fund for Timothy and Christopher's venture.At the time, a mysterious buyer had bought it…This bridal store was owned by the Sanford family. So, it was him…My hand instinctively brushed over the fabric, and I murmured, "I'd like to try this one."But my hand was a bit too clumsy, and I couldn't fully zip up the back. I tried to pull, but a pair of hands stopped me."Don't move. I'll do it," a man's voice said, soft and warm.Then, he gently

    The pain had taken away my ability to speak, and all I could do was look into their eyes, which were filled with traces of despair.I realized then—my future, my life, meant less to them than a small scrape on Isabella's skin."Get her into surgery right away!" Luckily, the hospital director arrived just in time, sparing them from having to make a decision."Lena, I'm sorry…"I didn't respond to Timothy. I didn't blame him.The slap would serve as repayment for all the affection they had shown me over the years.The moment the door to the operating room closed, so did the bond between us.From that point on, we owed each other nothing.When I woke up, Christopher was standing at my bedside, his face cold as ice."You're awake? Bella's wound took over a dozen stitches. If it weren't for you, none of this would've happened. Her room is upstairs.
