Jessica Hemsworth They say time heals all wounds. But they never said what to do when you’re forced to live inside the very wound that keeps bleeding. After my sister Anna died in a tragic car accident eight years ago, our whole family fell into chaos. I was only twenty-two then—grieving, lost, and suddenly caught in something I didn’t understand. And then Aunt Lucy came to me with her plan. Cold. Calculated. Ruthless. "Marry Viktor," she said... For Anna's son. For the Hemsworth name. For duty." I said no. Over and over again. But Aunt Lucy wasn't asking—she was commanding. She reminded me that Rachel’s son, Jeremy needed stability. That Viktor needed a respectable woman by his side, and that I was the only one who could keep the family from falling apart. "Eight years," my aunt said. "Marry him, raise Jeremy as your own for eight years, and then you can divorce him." And because I wanted to repay my aunt for raising me. I said yes. So I became my sister’s shadow.

Chapter 2 Jessica Hemsworth My phone screen lit up with a text as I walked back inside the room from the bathroom. ‘Come over to the house. The divorce agreement is ready now’. My heart suddenly felt light as though a weight had just been lifted off it. Excitement sparked through my stomach, and a smile crept up my face. Finally! I was going to be free. ‘Alright, aunt. I will be there in a few minutes. I replied to her text, dropping to the bed afterwards. My mind wandered off to years ago, where it all started from. After the death of my mom, I ended up with her only sister, Lucy, who has been the one raising me. She was supposed to be a family, but living with her has been nothing but hell. She raised me as her toy. Her slave. Someone she could do whatever she wanted with, and it got worse when her biological daughter, Anna, died eight years ago.'I've raised you for fourteen years, Jessica. It's only right that you do this for me. It's just eight years, Jessica. You can't

Chapter 3 Jessica Hemsworth A painful laugh tore through my throat, tears blurring my vision as I stared down at the credit alert displayed on my phone screen. "Five hundred thousand?" I chuckled again, tears dropping from my eyes as my fingers tightened around my phone. My heart twisted in my chest, my breath heavy and shallow. Is she mocking me? After sacrificing my career for her grandchild and in-law, this mockery is what I get in return? I was a fast rising designer with big dreams of owning my own fashion house one day, but she and her family stole my dream from me. If she didn't steal away eight years of my life, perhaps I would've made that dream come true. And five hundred thousand dollars? In exchange for everything she stole away from me? My career, my life, my youth? "You'll be fine, Jessica. You are strong. Don't let her break you." I whispered to myself, but the truth is, she already broke me. Every piece of me. I hauled down the next cab and the ride t

Chapter 4Jessica Hemsworth I gathered the strength left in me and stood up to my feet. Susanne, who has been quiet the whole time, stood up to her feet and said. “Viktor, how could you do this to Jessica. She is your wife." She held his hand and rubbed it gently. "You should apologise to her. She doesn't deserve that." She added. I scoffed. Her acting is so bland. Now I understand why she has never won any award even after acting for many years. Oh... Susanna is an actress and a model. She left Viktor and came to stand in front of me, holding my hand. "Did something happen, Jessica? Why are you divorcing Viktor? Did you two have a fight?” She looked me straight in the eyes as if she cared. "Why don't you ask your friend about it, hmm?" I yanked her hand off, throwing her a glare. Susanne was Viktor's friend. Best friend, actually. That was his claim, anyway. Maybe they were doing something friends shouldn't do behind closed door, who knows? Her eyes flashed with ang

Chapter 5 Jessica Hemsworth I had no idea for how long I had been out, but as I snapped my eyes open, I found myself sitting in front of the mirror in my room. Alone. Wearing a different cloth. I did the first thing that came to my mind. Checking my stomach, but shockingly, there was no sign of being injured there. “What happened?” I muttered, trying to make sense out of what was happening. I was still trying to figure out something when the door opened, and Viktor walked inside, wearing a black suit. His face hardened as soon as he saw me. “The guests are almost here! Why are you still here? Are you planning to ruin tonight for me?" Those words rang a bell in my ears. I have heard those words from him before, but how? When was it?Then, my eyes darted to my phone, and I did the first thing that came to my mind. To check the calendar. My eyes shot open at the date I found in the calendar. It was Viktor's company's anniversary. Four years ago. Oh my god, I must be on

“Hi! I'm Oliver Hall. CEO of Olie's design.” His oblong-shaped face was graced with a gorgeous smile that spread all the way to his honey-brown eyes as he extended his hand to me for a handshake. “Hi…hi!” My heart was beating so loudly in my chest that I failed to hear my nervous voice as I shook his hand briefly, and damn! His palm was so soft like that of a newborn. It felt like those palms have never been used before. “As a designer, I would choose her over Ms Susan to model my dress…” he paused, then lifted his gaze to Susan, a soft smile playing on his lips as he said. “I don't mean to talk down on you, Ms. Susan. Just that her body fit more into the dress than yours even as a professional model.” Susan's eyes burned with fury, her jaws clenched tightly as she threw me a murderous glare. Hope and relief coursed through me. My confidence was suddenly boosted with just that single gesture from him. My eyes wandered off to Viktor, and I was welcomed by his hard glare, which fad

Chapter 7 Jessica Hemsworth Viktor left the bed, and with one glare at me, he headed to the door and pulled it open. “Mr. Hall…” I heard him call, with a pretentious chuckle as he stepped out of the room and closed the door behind. “What are you doing here?” His annoying voice rang from outside. “I was looking for you. I wanted to talk about something with you.” I heard Mr. Hall speak, followed by their receding footsteps. I sighed in relief, running my fingers through my hair. That was a close one. I curled up on the bed, hugging my legs to my chest as tears blurred my vision. I was just back here without any plan. I couldn't even think of anything at the moment, because I was still stuck. My phone screen lit up with a text, and I hesitantly reached for it. ‘Mother-in-law’. My grip tightened around the phone, and my heart wrenched painfully as memories of everything this woman has done to me clawed into my mind. I always thought my aunt was the most heartless being, bu

Chapter 8He raised his gaze to me, his lips spread up in a grin. “Grandma called you.” He held out the phone to me, and I snatched it from him.“Why are you here?” I walked past him to the closet.“My bed… Have you forgotten you haven't laid it yet?”I paused, gritting my teeth at his rudeness. The sheer audacity.“I want to sleep.” He added, his eyes piercing into mine.He must still think that this is the old Jessica, who would run around at his command.“Go lay your bed yourself, Jeremy. You are old enough to do it.” I told him bluntly, and his eyes flashed with shock.“If you can't do it, go ask your dad for help. I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing it.” I added, and he froze on the spot.“I told you to go lay my bed, Jessica!” He snapped. Maybe he thought his voice was intimidating enough.I turned to him, my lips curled in a smirk. “Don't be rude, Jeremy. You don't raise your voice at your elders. It's rude.” I corrected him.His jaw clenched tightly, his eyes blazing with anger as
