The moment I heard Zach Stein on the phone, I started shuddering. I had to clamp a hand over my mouth just to stop myself from making a sound.“Cathy, you look pale. Did you not get enough rest at the academy?”Zach walked over. There was a deliberate tone of concern in his voice as he scanned my face. Before I could say something, his lips curled into a satisfied smile.“But this is good. You seem much more obedient now. Mom is very pleased with you. Go and pack your things. The dean says you’ve learned proper discipline and graduated without a hitch. I’m taking you home today.”I bit down hard on my lower lip until I tasted blood. The pain barely made me hold back the tears that had filled my eyes.I told myself. “You can’t cry, Cathy Briones. Crying means he wins. And that’s exactly what he wants.”I took a deep breath, forced myself to stay calm as I turned around and walked back to the cold and lifeless room they had assigned me at the last minute. I packed my meager belongi

I picked up the necklace and tossed it into the trash.What was the point of me holding on to it if it meant nothing to him? Better to throw it out and be done with it.I called movers and arranged to have my things picked up.While waiting, Jenna and her friend suddenly barged through the door. Jenna’s eyes flicked over the few small boxes I had packed. Her tone was dripping with contempt as she said, “Oh, Cathy. Moving out? Finally. Honestly, your junk has always been out of place here.”I did not bother responding, but her friend kicked one of my packed boxes.“Jen, you’re just too nice. Some people are just born to live off scraps that others have thrown away. Zach bought this house for you as your engagement gift, but you, of course, had better taste and turned it down. So someone else got lucky, I guess. Miss Briones, I heard you even went through three months of special training just to marry into the Stein family. How’s that working out for you? Feeling humbled yet? Starti

The moment Zach saw the footage, his mind went completely blank.For the first time, he was clearly seeing the inhuman cruelty I had gone through in that hell.Each image felt like a venom-tipped blade stabbing straight into his chest.He lunged in desperation for the exit to go after me, but the press swarmed around him. All he could do was fumble for his phone and dial my number, only to be met by the mechanical voice saying that the user was unavailable to answer his call.By the time he finally forced his way out of the crowd, ready to rush back to the place he called our new home, Jenna grabbed him by the arm as tears streamed down her face.“Zach, why would she do that to me? Is she still trying to ruin my happiness? You can’t leave me here.”Looking at her pale and fragile face, a flicker of irritation flashed through Zach. Even so, he still instinctively comforted her. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this. I’ll throw you an even grander engagement party.”He turned to hi

Zach stormed into the Stein family’s mansion. His voice was raw with rage as he shouted at his mother. “Why? Why would you do that to Cathy?”However, Mrs. Stein met his fury with nothing but cold disdain.“I never liked that manipulative little thing. Lowborn, unrefined, completely unfit to marry into our family, let alone become your wife. I’m setting you up with someone tomorrow. She’s the daughter of Whitmore Corp’s CEO. A suited match for our family, and good for your career.”Zach felt as if ice had seeped into his bones. He stared at the woman who had raised him. For the first time in his life, he felt like she was a stranger. It terrified him. His voice cracked as he desperately shouted, “I love Cathy! She’s the only one I’ve ever wanted to marry!”Just then, his phone rang. It was his assistant. His voice was tight with urgency and disbelief.“Mr. Stein, we found Miss Briones! She… She’s in Cloudcrest.”Cloudcrest was the city I used to talk about all the time when I was
