Once we got home, Zachary barely had time to tell me to get some rest before making up an excuse about work and heading out.If this had been before, I would've been touched—thinking he was so busy yet still took the time to bring me home, so considerate and caring.But now, that kind of superficial concern felt unbearably fake.Before I could dwell too long in my sorrow, Mom called."Honey, Thomas has agreed to the marriage. I always thought he was a good match, and look—he said yes right away."He wants both families to have dinner together the day after tomorrow and make it official. I know you like Zachary, but if he doesn't treat you right, just leave him. Okay?"Tears streamed down my face in an instant. I forced myself to say "okay" through the lump in my throat.Zachary, I wouldn't marry you anymore. After such a disgusting betrayal, the sooner things ended, the better.Looking around my home, I suddenly realized—traces of Willow and him were everywhere. I just never no

My head was still foggy when I woke up at the hospital.Mom was holding my hand, her eyes red. Clearly, she had been crying. "You're allergic to peanuts, how could you not know that? Anaphylactic shock can kill you!"You were already weak from the shock, and now the baby is gone too. That damn Zachary! How could he treat you like this?"You had a miscarriage and a severe allergic reaction, and he didn't even show up! I always knew that illegitimate son had no manners. Why does my poor daughter have to suffer like this?"And that Willow—how did we never see it before? That girl's heart is as black as coal!"Her lips quivered as she spoke, and she looked like she was about to burst into tears again.My throat was hoarse, but I forced myself to comfort her. Maybe because I'd finally let go of loving him, I even managed a smile."I'm okay, Mom. I'm getting engaged to Thomas now. Whether Zachary shows up or not doesn't matter anymore."See? I'm still here, aren't I? I'm just not sur

With the troublesome people finally gone, the engagement party went off without a hitch.Our families had been close for generations, and Thomas and I had grown up together as childhood friends.Who would've thought, after everything that had happened, I'd end up marrying him?Once the engagement ceremony wrapped up, I went back to my old place to gather my things—only to unexpectedly run into Zachary's mother, the woman who had been kept outside the Hiltons all these years.She stormed toward me and slapped me across the face."You little tramp! You were about to marry my son but you're still messing around with another man out there!"Now you still have the nerve to come back?"She stood at the doorway, arms akimbo and fuming, while Willow played the pitiful act behind her, eyes brimming with fake tears, softly apologizing."Eve, I never meant to get between you and Zachary."Zachary's mother was so worried and rushed to support Willow like she was made of glass."Oh, Willo

Zachary was dragged out by the bodyguards.After the press conference, Willow knelt at our doorstep, begging for forgiveness from my parents, pleading not to be kicked out of the house.Mom didn't even open the door.As soon as she saw me, she lunged at me like a madwoman, but was quickly taken away by security and property management."Why are you the heiress, but not me? We grew up together—why do Mom and Dad only love you?"Since they adopted me, why treat me differently? Everything went to you, Yvonne! They gave me nothing!"The way she bared her teeth and claws was burned into my memory. What I once thought was sisterhood had long since been twisted by jealousy.…Zachary started calling me like crazy. I had dozens of missed calls from him every single day. I got so fed up I blocked him altogether.After that, his good friend called me, but it was Zachary's voice on the line."Yvonne, I know I was wrong. Please come back to me, okay?"That bitch Willow's already been th
