Chapter 1

The moment I ran out the door, I tore the movie ticket that I'd been holding so tightly that it was crumpled into shreds. Then, I threw it into the trashcan.Having left in such a hurry, I forgot to take my white cane. Accidentally, I bumped into a vase near the door, and the broken porcelain pieces cut into my calf.I cried out in pain. Yvette Lynch noticed it first. "Chester, I think she's hurt. Aren't you going to check on her?"Upon hearing what she said, Chester Caldwell said impatiently, "Look at how bad-tempered she is. She even threatened to run away from home! She won't know how much I've cared for her these few years if she doesn't experience the cold reality out there herself! Let her go! She'll just have to learn it through the hard way."Yvette clicked her tongue. Then, she asked, "I prefer this movie. Since she's not watching that one, why don't you join me?"Chester agreed without hesitation, ignoring the blood gushing out of my calf.…Limping, I left the villa w

Chapter 2

Stumbling, I finally left the villa neighborhood with difficulty. However, I realized I had nowhere to go.During the three years I was with Chester, I lost contact with my family and friends, disconnecting myself from everyone else. Alas, that was how I ended up.I felt my way around, feeling lost. Just then, a strong alcohol stench engulfed my senses, and the next moment, coarse hands pulled me into an embrace.A man reeking of the disgusting stench touched me all over. I screamed, "Help!" However, all I got in return was the man's wicked cackle.Finally, he pressed me down against the cold, hard floor. Trembling, I pleaded for mercy. "P-Please don't touch me. I have money… I can give you any amount you want…"The man was interested. He chuckled in a repulsive way. "Really? You'll give me any amount I want?" "Yes." I nervously swallowed. After telling him Chester's number, I begged, "Call him. You can ask for any amount you want."The call got through, and the man turned on

Chapter 3

That day, my sister, Ruby Seafield, was the one who picked me up. Upon hearing her familiar voice through the phone, I burst into tears.She was admitted to the hospital for gastrointestinal bleeding. However, when she heard me cry, she immediately pulled out the indwelling needle and came to get me without hesitation. She didn't even know what happened to me when she did so.I was in a terrible state. Pulling me into her arms, she asked, heartbroken, "Riley, why didn't you tell us what happened to you? How would Mom and Dad really be mad at you? They just thought it was embarrassing to take the initiative to contact you!"How dare he bully my family! I must make him pay!"Although the Seafield family wasn't as rich as the Caldwell family, which had been affluent for generations, we were wealthy nonetheless. Otherwise, my parents wouldn't have been so mad back then. They didn't understand why I was so lovesick when I was well-provided for and well-loved.I couldn't understand what

Chapter 4

After making a police report, Ruby obtained the surveillance images from that night from the police. She saved those videos on her phone. At that moment, she found them and shoved her phone in Chester's face.Chester's hand started trembling as he held the phone. In the end, he couldn't even remain standing. He crumbled onto the floor, looking unsettled. "How could that be? The villa neighborhood should be safe. Why would there be…"He looked up and grabbed Ruby's shirt in a frantic. He asked anxiously, "How's Riley now?"Ruby merely shoved his hand aside. She answered coolly, "It's none of your business anymore!""Where is she now? I'll go get her…" Chester sprung up and ran toward the entrance in a panic.However, there was a commotion. People were shrieking. "Someone's fainted!"No longer caring about me, Chester dashed forward as the one who fainted was Yvette.…When Ruby told me what happened, I fell silent. She asked, "What's wrong? Still sad? It seems you need more time

I responded with a slap to his face. Dumbstruck for a moment, he flew off the handle soon after. He raised his hand to hit me, scolding, "Riley Seafield, don't be so ungrateful when I'm trying to be kind!"There, his pride wouldn't allow him to go further than that.If it weren't for the pressure from the Caldwell family and his own image, he wouldn't even have come to me.In the wedding he promised, I was sure he'd straight out get Yvette to be the bride instead.I raised my hand to shield myself. Just then, Ruby opened the door and pulled me in.When I remained silent, Chester inhaled deeply and said, "Riley, think carefully. It was my fault for leaving you alone on the streets. But although you were assaulted, you weren't actually harmed."He continued loud and clear, "I'm already showing your family enough respect by coming here to offer you this solution. If you refuse to take it, I won't save you from further humiliation."I was trembling with anger.It once crossed my mi

Chapter 6

After Chester went blind, the Caldwell family couldn't just let any random person inherit their business. Having no alternative, Harold and Linda could only get their daughter, Whitney Caldwell, to take over the company.Unexpectedly, she outshone everyone else. Not only did she secure a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars on the first try, but she also managed to get Caldwell Group to go public.When she found out I was going to donate my corneas to Chester, she wasn't worried. Instead, she declared with her head held high, "Whoever's more capable shall win. If Chester can do a better job than me, I'm fine with letting him take over the business."She was great friends with Ruby. Back then, the only person she worried about was me. "Riley, I'm actually worried that you'll get hurt."But I was too blinded by love to care and went for it without second thoughts.Nobody could've foreseen that Harold and Linda only cared about their son. Once Chester recovered, they immedia

Chapter 7

For a long time, I had thought Chester just didn't love me. But just seconds ago, it dawned on me. It wasn't that he didn't love me. He didn't love anyone. The only person he loved was himself.Yvette barged in and splashed the boiling water she picked up on her way here on his face. Screaming, she slapped him twice. "Chester Caldwell, how could you do this to me? Were all those sweet talks a goddamn lie?"However, Chester couldn't bother to console her. Instead, he pushed her aside and anxiously grabbed my arm. Now, I was all he could think of.He hastily said, "Riley, you have to believe me. I had been misled by Yvette. Actually… I've fallen in love with you. When you weren't with me, I'd been thinking about you all the time. I regret treating you like that. Please come back to me, okay?"He refused to let go of my hand. For the sake of his future and reclaiming authority over Caldwell Group, he hadn't realized that the guests had huddled outside the room. They were enjoying the

Chapter 8

"That car accident really was just an accident," I said calmly. "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe the police's statement, no?"I exhaled slowly and scoffed. "See, Yvette. You and I are the same. We're both deceived by Chester. The police are on their way now. The man had confessed that you were the one who hired him. After this, you'll be facing a jail sentence."Yvette roared in disbelief, "How can that be? Chester, you said… You said you loved me all these years and couldn't forget me… Riley's supposed to be the liar!""I don't know what you're saying." Even now, Chester tried to defend himself. "Riley, I never said you were behind the car accident. You must believe me. Yvette's the one who spread the rumors. I don't know anything…"He stepped forward and grabbed my arm. However, because of what he said, Yvette lost it. Screaming, she lunged forward and bit him. With all her energy, she tore down a chunk of his flesh.Chester shrieked, and his face changed. Turni
