Chapter 1

The moment I finished posting my comment, Jason called.He did not even say hello. He just started yelling at me over the phone.“Sheena, have you learned nothing? I just told you not to stir up trouble, and now you are showing off on your social media. Really?“If you’ve got so much energy, why don’t you try solving some of the company’s problems instead?!”His tone was cold and condescending. It was like he was scolding an employee, not talking to his girlfriend.I always thought Jason and I were in love.At the very least, he cared about me enough to become my boyfriend.We had been together for eight years. I had been by his side through everything since he graduated college.From having nothing to becoming the chairperson of a company.We weathered so many storms together.In the early days, when money was tight and he was starting the company, I borrowed from every bank and loan app I could find to help him stay afloat.Later, when we could not pay it back, my phone wa

I often doubted whether Jason really loved me over the eight years we were together.Still, he always acted like the perfect boyfriend in front of everyone.His eyes would light up when he spoke to me, and his every gesture showed love.Even trivial things, like remembering to bring an umbrella on a rainy day.One phone call was all it took for him to stop whatever he was doing and come pick me up.Even after eight years and eight proposals, he turned me down each time.Everyone still believed we would eventually get married.Now, seeing him share a photo of his marriage certificate with Tessa’s name instead of mine, I was certain everyone would be shocked.Tessa is my sister. She was my real sister.She always took my things since we were kids. No matter how much I cried, I never got them back.Our parents never liked me. They disliked me and never protected me.They said that my mother nearly died from a severe hemorrhage when I was born.Hence, I was called a jinx.I kn

The next second, Jason’s attention was, unsurprisingly, diverted.He furrowed his brows, and his gaze instantly turned cold.“I’ve explained this a thousand times already. I don’t want to waste my breath discussing something so pointless.”Then, he turned and went into the bedroom. A moment later, he came out holding a piece of clothing.“Looks like you need some time to cool off. Once you have calmed down, I’ll come back, and we can have a proper talk.”Before he left, as he closed the door behind him, he looked at me with disappointment and said,“Sheena, you’re being a jealous mess, and it seriously makes me sick.”Bang. The door slammed shut.My head buzzed as the echo of the slam rang in my ears.Pointless? Jealous mess?So, he had really come to resent me that much.The sour feeling that had just subsided in my chest rushed back up again, and the tips of my fingers, still not fully warmed, turned cold once more.I sat on the sofa in a daze. I did not even know how muc

I had to admit that every buried feeling inside me was stirred up by Tessa at that moment.Even though I no longer cared about the bracelet, she started talking about our childhood.She bullied me since we were little, stole my things, and now she even took my man!Suddenly, my emotions erupted like a volcano.I reached out my hand without even touching her when Tessa suddenly screamed and collapsed to the ground, clutching her stomach, and crying out in pain.Jason rushed over in an instant, knocking me down, then gently helped Tessa up.“Sheena, are you crazy? You knew Tessa’s pregnant, and you still have the guts to push her!”I fell hard onto the ground. My palms were scraped raw and bleeding.However, the pain was nothing compared to Jason’s harsh words.“You are downright crazy, hurting your own sister like that. How could someone like you possibly deserve to be my girlfriend?”“Jason, please don’t say that. It’s all my fault. Sheena got mad. That’s why she pushed me. A

I called him a lunatic and slammed the door open, jumping out of the car as fast as I could.The next morning, I had the stock transfer contract ready. I went to the company, planning to sell all my shares and get far away from this disgusting city.I found Zayden and straightforwardly told him the price I had in mind for the deal.Unexpectedly, he suddenly lunged at me, pushing me back until I was pressed tightly against the chair.He deliberately unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his strong, muscular chest.He looked at me with a mix of frustration and helplessness.“Sheena, why are you being so stubborn?“If Jason can have a baby with your sister, why can’t you have a baby with his best friend, just to spite him?”My mind just blew up in an instant.Who was the father of Tessa’s baby? That question had never been answered.It was not until Zayden said those words. They seemed to uncover the whole truth.I never dared to think about it before, but now, it seemed like the only

After leaving the conference room, I arranged to meet Zayden at a café near the office.As soon as he saw my message, he was already sitting there, waiting impatiently.His eyes were locked onto me, and after staring for what felt like forever, the first thing he said was,"So, have you made up your mind? Let’s run away together."I could not help it and rolled my eyes.“Don’t be ridiculous. I am here to talk about business. About the company shares.”I pulled out the share transfer agreement I had just signed with Jason and showed it to him.“With this extra five percent, I now hold fifteen percent in total. What do you think, Mr. Scott? Can you handle that much?”I had my reasons for reaching out to Zayden.I knew he had his eyes on this company. He would not have invested during its lowest point if he did not.Moreover, now that the company’s on an upward trajectory, it was an excellent opportunity. There was no reason for him to say no.However, to my surprise, his eyes

After getting home, I started packing my things.I was barely halfway through when I got interrupted.Tessa’s parents, my parents, suddenly showed up at the little apartment.Most likely, what happened today made Tessa uneasy, so she had them come find me.They both wore cold expressions and did not waste any time with pleasantries.“Sheena, how can you be so shameless?“Your sister’s already married to Jason, and here you are, still living in his house. Why don’t you just move out already?!”I sneered and fired back at my father.“Am I shameless, or is it Tessa? Jason is my boyfriend, yet she is trying to steal him?”My mother cut in with a scream, pointing at me furiously,“What do you mean to steal? You are the useless one! Luckily, our Tessa is smart. Otherwise, we would have lost such a great son-in-law because of you!”Even though I expected their favoritism, hearing it face-to-face made my chest ache, and it was heavy and stifling.My father did not bother arguing.

After leaving the little house, I did not go to the apartment my father arranged for me. Instead, I called Zayden and asked him to find me a place to stay.In the days that followed, I focused on sorting out all the company affairs I had on hand, then signed the share transfer contract with Zayden. After signing, I grabbed my bag and was about to leave the office when Jason suddenly stopped me.He looked at me with a complicated expression and surprisingly asked how I had been lately. I glanced at my watch. The plane was about to take off.So, I replied casually telling him I was fine without even looking up and tried to leave.However, Jason would not let me go easily. He frowned.“Sheena, you’ve changed.”“Have I? I don’t feel that way. "I have some matters to attend to, so I am leaving."A flicker of nervousness flashed across his face when he heard I was leaving. He grabbed my wrist tightly and said firmly, “You have changed. You wouldn’t have treated me like this be
