Chapter 1

My grandfather seemed relieved after hearing my response. "You've finally come to your senses. I've heard that Keanu has been entangled with another woman. So, among the three men your father introduced you to, did any of them catch your eye?"I shook my head. "Nope. I choose Micah Kingswell, the eldest son of the Kingswell family. Since this is a marriage of alliance, I might as well choose someone powerful."My grandfather frowned. "But he just left the clergy. I heard he became a priest after a car accident left him impotent. What if you two can't have a normal married life?"For the first time, I raised my gaze to meet his stern yet kind eyes. "It's a business marriage, Grandpa. It's all about benefits, not love. Besides, I've long given up on love. Isn't my mom's life the perfect proof that men can't be trusted?"As soon as I mentioned my mother, the authority in my grandfather's gaze dimmed, and he glanced at me a few times. In the end, he sighed and lamented, "You're truly a

I arched my brow and demanded, "Who exactly did you buy it for with the company's money?"Keanu's jaw tightened. "You have some nerve asking that! If you hadn't snatched Ellie's necklace, I wouldn't have wasted a whole week tracking this one down just to make it up to her."I was about to question him when Zayn beat me to it. He cut in with disgust written all over his face, "You snatched something from Ellie again? Do you have no shame? Do you seriously think the company belongs to you? "Everything we bought was for her! It has nothing to do with you! Who gave you the right to take them?"Julian clenched his fists while glaring at me furiously."What did you snatch from Ellie? Give it back to her right now! Ever since you came back, she's done nothing but compromise for you! But why won't you leave her alone?"Noticing how tense the three of them were almost made me laugh, though deep down, I felt sad for myself. When I was first brought back, I was sensitive and insecure. I'

The next morning, as soon as I walked into the company, a figure ran up to me and dropped to her knees in front of me. "I'm sorry, Lyss. It's all my fault. Please don't fire Kean and the others."If you don't like me, I'll leave! They've worked here for so many years. I know how much they've done for the company. "This is the necklace Kean bought for me. I'll give it to you. I'll never compete with you again!" Eliana clutched the hem of my skirt tightly. The employees around us started whispering. "This is too much! Ms. Morcant and Mr. Strathmore practically kept this company afloat these past few years. Now that she's back, she wants to kick them out?""Does she really think she's all that special just because she's rich? If Keanu leaves, I'm quitting too! I'm not staying here just to end up getting tossed aside like trash!"Their accusations made my cheeks burn with humiliation.I was about to call my grandfather's assistant when someone shoved me hard from behind. I lost m

Chapter 4

For the past month, I'd practically been living at the company, attempting to get the hang of everything as fast as I could. Before I knew it, the night of the company banquet—where my engagement was to be officially announced—had arrived. After a month of absence, Keanu and his two friends finally decided to grace me with their presence. "It has been a whole month since we last saw Mr. Strathmore. I thought he had left for greener pastures.""If he ever does, I suggest you start making plans too. Did you know that he was the one who landed the company's biggest deal last month? It resulted in a profit of more than 100 million dollars! "He's so young, yet he's already that capable. If he leaves, and the company falls into the hands of that heir from the countryside, we're done for!"I sneered. Zayn noticed it and reminded me, "Don't start. It took us a whole month to calm Keanu down. If you hurt Ellie's feelings again, I won't be able to save you from whatever happens next."I

Chapter 5

The moment my grandfather stepped onto the stage, everyone's attention was drawn to him. He began sternly, "I have an important announcement to make tonight. My granddaughter has decided to marry Micah Kingswell, the eldest son of the Kingswell family."A soft snicker broke the silence. Then, someone leaned toward the person beside them and whispered, "Has Mr. Morcant Senior lost his mind? Micah's a priest! Rumor has it that he took the vows because a car accident left him impotent."If it hadn't been for that, he would've been one of the most eligible bachelors in our circle. It's such a shame. But what's good lineage worth if he can't produce an heir? To make matters worse, his extended family is circling like vultures, waiting for a chance to take his place. "Mr. Strathmore, on the other hand, is capable. He's brought in huge profits for the company these past few years. If this marriage falls through, he'll probably leave and start his own company. Is Mr. Morcant Senior really

Chapter 6

The next morning, news of my marriage to Micah made it to the trending list. Puzzled, I went to my grandfather to find out who had leaked it. However, I froze the moment I opened the door. Standing before me was someone I hadn't expected to see. It was a rather familiar face. It was the man I'd called an ambulance and the cops for that night. Unlike his disheveled demeanor back then, he was now dressed sharply and full of life. When he noticed how surprised I looked, he extended a hand. "Hi, I'm Micah!"I was stunned. I turned to my grandfather, who nodded at me. In an instant, my face flushed crimson, and I couldn't meet his eyes. Before I knew it, we were in the garden downstairs, and his hands were tightly holding mine. "I heard you were paralyzed after a car accident. What happened?" He stopped in his tracks. In a heartbeat, his handsome, smiling face was inches from mine. "We're getting married next month. Before that, how about we try dating first?"I was caught off g

Chapter 7

I raised my hand and cut Keanu off. "Whatever happens between you two has nothing to do with me anymore. Also, I think you've gotten the wrong idea. All these years, I have never stolen anything from her. "Everything she had was mine to begin with. I'm simply taking back what's mine. What's so wrong with that?"He parted his lips and found himself at a loss for words. All he could do was watch as I walked away. …When he arrived home and opened the door, Eliana suddenly threw herself into his arms. She sobbed, clutching her face. "What's wrong?" Keanu fretted as usual. "It's Lyss! She told me that man was just someone she hired to make you jealous. She said your engagement wasn't called off, that you still belong to her, and that I should stay away from you. When I refused, she slapped me!"Eliana cried pitifully like she always did, but Keanu no longer felt any sympathy for her.He remembered the longing look on my face when I parted ways with Micah. It was exactly how I u

Chapter 8

Over the last few weeks, my grandfather and I managed to clean up most of the company. When my father realized he no longer had any control over me, he started wreaking havoc. In a moment of anger and desperation, he pulled out a paternity test, claiming Eliana was his daughter.He wanted to prove that I wasn't his daughter, so I turned the tables on him and presented a paternity test that proved I was my grandfather's biological granddaughter. He realized that he had messed up. My grandfather was furious. He immediately stripped my father of his position and expelled him from the board of directors. Now, aside from the shares he still held, he had become nothing more than a figurehead in the company.…When Keanu stumbled home, he found Eliana curled up in Zayn's arms, weeping. "How could you do this to Ellie, Keanu? Even if you're upset because that woman's marrying someone else, you shouldn't have taken it out on Ellie! Look at what you've done—her arm's covered in bruises!"

Chapter 9

Eliana's sobs drew Zayn from the room next door. "What the hell has gotten into you this time, Keanu? You made Ellie cry again!"Keanu's face was stone-cold. "Why don't you ask her? These are the jewelry pieces she claimed Elysia intentionally destroyed. Yet, here they are, perfectly intact!"I remember you giving this to Elysia the first year she came home. Didn't you say it was broken?"Zayn was caught off guard for a moment. Still, he stepped forward to defend the tearful Eliana. "So what? That country bumpkin doesn't deserve to wear anything this fine, anyway!"Julian also stood beside Eliana protectively. "These belonged to Ellie to begin with! What's wrong with her taking back what's hers?"Keanu stared at the three of them in disbelief. For the first time, he realized that Eliana, the woman he had protected all these years, was nothing but a manipulative liar.Out of guilt and spite, he sold the villa that hadn't yet been transferred to her name. Then, he hurriedly bought

Chapter 10

Unlike my blissful newlywed life, Eliana wasn't doing as well. Since my dad could cheat on my mom once, he could naturally do it again. By the time Eliana discovered that she was his illegitimate daughter, two more illegitimate sons had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The already small portion of shares she held was divided further and transferred to them. Indignant, she called Keanu out of habit, but another call interrupted her. That was when she learned that the house Keanu bought for her had been sold.His number was no longer in service, and all his social media accounts were deleted. He had even blocked Zayn and Julian, who grew up with him. It hit her that she had nothing left. Zayn and Julian had ended up just like Keanu, spending all their savings buying her gifts. Zayn even maxed out his credit cards and ended up in debt. After being fired from the company, he spent two months job hunting, but every role was either too tiring or beneath him. Eliana had no choice bu
