Chapter 1

The doctor tried to stop the bleeding from my broken arm, but the multiple wounds had left me drenched in blood. “Ms. Nina’s current injuries require the special medicine we got at a high price from that source. It could potentially reattach her broken arm. Mr. William, you should retrieve it from Sophia for now.”William Zafron frowned at me and said, “Nina always recovers quickly. She doesn’t need this. I’ll save it as an emergency treatment for Sophia in case she catches a cold or develops a fever.“Also, if Noa feels pain after the knee joint replacement, she can take it.”The doctor stammered in shock, “B-but the pain can be managed with painkillers. An artificial joint can be used for the knee replacement. There’s no need to sacrifice anyone for this, and there’s certainly no need to use such a precious medicine.”“An artificial joint can only last for a dozen years. I can’t let Noa go through that pain again.“That’s enough. You work for me, so just focus on researching k

I chuckled sarcastically. On the day Ella started her dance classes, I found out William had bought a building in the city center and turned it into a dance studio.I even overheard him telling the designer to make it one of a kind. The first three floors were shopping areas, the fourth and fifth floors were entertainment zones, the sixth floor was a fitness area, and the top floor was the dance studio.A month ago, he was still picking out seasonal princess dresses for the shopping area and hiring world champion dance instructors for the dance studio. I thought he was treating Ella like a princess.But in reality, it was a gift for Noa to celebrate her cured knee joint.To William, Ella and I were nothing more than useful sacrifices.William panicked when he noticed how pale my face was. He quickly called the doctor to check on my wounds and dress them.When he saw that I was not getting better and was even worsening, he scolded the doctor angrily, “Can’t you be gentler?”He

Chapter 3

When I arrived at the dance studio where my daughter had died, I saw Sophia holding her daughter, Noa. She was chatting and laughing with my mother-in-law, Dorothy Zafron, as if nothing had happened.Dorothy took out the bracelet that was passed down only to the Zafron family’s daughters-in-law and happily placed it on Sophia’s wrist.Sophia noticed me and immediately put on a false show of modesty. She pushed the bracelet away. “Oh, I couldn’t possibly accept this. Nina’s here. Let her have it instead.”Dorothy rolled her eyes at me, shoved the bracelet back onto Sophia’s wrist, and sneered, “How is she supposed to wear something this valuable with that broken arm? She doesn’t even bother to cover the blood that’s oozing out. It’s disgusting. Look at how radiant you look in that bright red dress!“Why do you still look so pale? Isn’t it just one bad seed that died? Of all the people, why was Ella the one a madman killed? She must’ve done plenty of bad things. The wicked always get

I had no idea how long I had been walking with Ella in my arms when Sophia suddenly appeared behind me.I was caught off guard as she suddenly knocked the urn from my hands. The ashes scattered across the ground.With a smug expression, she stomped on them over and over again. “You still want to take Ella’s ashes back? That’s what she gets for having a mother who fell for the same man as me!“You never should have married William and trapped him with a child. It’s your fault for not knowing your place. All I had to do was make Noa pretend to be disabled, and I easily got all of his love.”“Do you want to see photos of her knee joints being sliced open while she was still alive? Too bad you never got to hear her cry for her mother while begging through the pain.”Overcome with rage, I lunged for her phone. Just before I could reach her, she suddenly dropped to her knees with a heavy thud.A sharp slap struck my face. My face burned as a bright red mark surfaced on my skin.Willia

“What?!”William stared at the paternity test results for a long time.Sophia nestled in his arms like a kitten. “What’s wrong? Put this beautiful gemstone necklace on me already. Noa, call him ‘Daddy’.”Noa, who stood near the doctor, tugged coquettishly at William’s hand. “Daddy, forget about Nina. Mommy and I will stay with you.”Sophia wrapped her arms around William’s neck. “That’s right. No matter what happens, we’ll stay by your side forever!”William’s face turned pale.“Sophia, I hate liars. Is Noa really my daughter? Was her knee ever injured?”A wave of unease crashed over William. He needed to see me immediately.Sophia’s face instantly turned pale. “I-it was just a white lie to strengthen our relationship!”He shoved her to the floor and said in a cold voice, “Sophia, stay away from me. If I can’t find Nina, you’ll pay for this.”She looked up in confusion. “William... you love me the most, don’t you? We were just—”William snapped, “Shut up!”Before William co

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw my grandmother, Paula, waiting for me.The moment I saw her, I ran into her arms with tears in my eyes. “Grandma!”My grandmother gently patted my shoulder. “Welcome home, Nina.”William had once asked me to stay with him in Silvercrest.I spent eight whole years there, only visiting my grandmother during major holidays.How foolish I had been.I would never leave my grandmother’s side again.Her assistant presented a contract to me. “Ms. Nina, the company share transfer documents.”I carefully signed my real name—Nina Summers.“Grandma, this is Ella.”We looked at the small urn with tear-filled eyes.“It’s a shame she never got to call you ‘Grandma’.”My grandmother held me close and comforted me. “Everything will be okay.”No matter how hard William searched for Nina Zafron, he would never find her.From this moment on, I became Nina Summers.Meanwhile, William opened the door to find my apartment completely empty.He froze. He ch

After leaving Amelia’s place, William launched a nationwide search for Nina Zafron.He purchased advertising slots across every provincial TV platform with a single message.[Nina, I miss you. Please come back.]For a month, he waited by his phone. No call came.As hope dwindled, he barricaded himself in my old apartment and refused all visitors.“Nina, why won’t you come back? I’ve truly learned my lesson. Give me one last chance.“My affair with Sophia meant nothing. Please come home.”He wept into his hands as he crouched in the corner.His public search went viral. People envied his devotion and reposted it everywhere.BlessYourHeart22: I wish I had a boyfriend like him! He’s so devoted!SideEyeSorceress: Remember seeing them at the mall? He always protected her.DramaLlama404: Rumor has it he’s been drinking himself to sleep since she left.The search campaign blew up, with netizens digging up our old photos.After days of buzz, a bombshell dropped.They discovered t

I stared at him and spoke each word deliberately. “William, when you were being intimate with Sophia in that hotel, did it ever cross your mind that you had a wife?“How dare you come begging for my forgiveness now?”William fell silent.“So, William cheated? No wonder Ms. Nina won’t take him back. If I were her, I’d be petty enough to ruin his company.”“Exactly. Ms. Nina’s company is thriving now. Why would she still want William?”“Ms. Nina definitely shouldn’t forgive him.”William’s face paled. “I can change.”“Once a cheater, always a cheater.”William kept pleading, “Nina, let me explain. I’ll cut Sophia off completely. I only want to be with you for the rest of my life.”Just then, his phone rang.He answered, and Sophia’s voice came through. “Why haven’t you come to see me? I’m so sad. I’m at the beach where we first met. Can you come?”Over the phone, her sobs blended with the howling wind.William panicked and told me, “I promise I won’t answer her calls anymore.

Chapter 9

After that incident, I learned that William was hospitalized for two days. The moment he regained consciousness, he became desperate to find me.When Sophia tried to stop him, he slapped her with enough force to cause a concussion.In his frenzied state, he smashed everything around him into complete chaos.Finally, he collapsed from sheer rage.Another day went by.I received a call from a local number.No one spoke. Only faint, trembling breaths came through.“Speak, or I’ll hang up.”“Wait.”It was Sophia.Between choked sobs, she stammered, “Could you... please visit William? He... just attempted suicide. He wasn’t thinking clearly.”I stayed silent.“Please,” she begged. “You were together for eight years. Could you at least pretend to forgive him?“If you won’t forgive him because of me, I swear I’ll disappear forever! Just tell me what you want! I’ll do anything!”Her crying became muffled. “As long as you come...”I remained indifferent. “What does this have to d
