Chapter 1

Grant, the heir to the Bennett family, had been my protector for over a decade.He taught me how to fire my first shot and saved me from every attempt on my life.After someone slipped drugs into Grant's drink at the family gathering, he stumbled into my room, and his icy control shattered.His hands found my waist as he pulled me close, his lips brushing against my ear as he whispered my name. A single night of drugged passion left me pregnant with his child.When my twin sister, Claire, found out, she left a note and disappeared, heartbroken.After that, I was cast as the cold-hearted villain who drove her own sister away.Grant personally forced the contraceptive potion down my throat and exiled me to the lawless territories beyond our family's control.To make me atone, he abandoned me to fend for myself in that desolate land. I was eventually killed in the crossfire of a mob war.As I lay dying, my mind was flooded with memories of Grant.The troublemaker he always called me was

"I hear you went to see my grandpa."Grant's arm snaked around my waist, yanking me flush against his hard chest with a force that knocked the air from my lungs. "Well played, Aria, after you burn everything this afternoon.""Then you go running to my grandpa? Were you that desperate to trap me?""You knew he owes your grandpa his life, so you used his guilt to force my hand. To lock me down and secure the Ricci family's future. Is that it?""Are you satisfied now?"I wrenched myself from his grasp, panting heavily. "That's not what happened, Grant. I didn't go crying to anyone."Grant let out a cold laugh. "You didn't say anything? Then how would he know what happened?"I looked at the man who had once been my gentle protector, feeling nothing but exhaustion."Think whatever you want. I told you, I didn't."My cold indifference finally pushed Grant over the edge."Look at you, acting so high and mighty. Who was it that schemed their way into my bed?""Let me tell you, even if you we

The next morning, I packed my final bag.There wasn't much time left. I had to see Grandpa William one last time.Pushing open the study door, I found the old Don handling family business.He put down his papers when he saw me."Aria, what are you doing here so early?""You look terrible. Was last night's party too much for you?"I walked toward him, forcing a smile."Grandpa, I came to say goodbye.""In a couple of days, I'm going somewhere very far away."Grandpa William's brow furrowed, his eyes filled with concern."Goodbye? Where are you going? Why so suddenly?""Did Grant do something again? You tell me, and I'll go have a word with him."I shook my head and moved to his side. Grandpa took my hand. "But you'll come back, right?"I hugged him. "Of course, I'll come back. Home is wherever you are."The old Don patted my hand. "Remember, this will always be your home. I support you no matter where you go, but always remember the way back."Tears threatened to fall, but I held them b

Chapter 4

Grant clearly didn't believe him, his voice dropping to an icy tone."Where's Aria? Where is she?""Is she putting you up to this? Is this some kind of act?"Luca let out a heavy sigh."No, Boss. Why must you always assume the worst of Miss Aria?""She hasn't done anything wrong."Luca continued, "She's… she's really gone.""If you don't believe me, you can go see for yourself in the cellar."Seeing the despair on Luca's face, Grant's heart hammered in his chest.The next second, he bolted from the engagement party like a madman, flooring the accelerator.He left Claire behind, still chatting and laughing with the family elders. Sensing something was wrong, she hurried after him.My soul drifted above, watching the farce with a cold detachment.It seemed that after dying once, the idea of a second death wasn't as gut-wrenching.Grant drove as if fleeing for his life, the tires screeching against the pavement.Luca had kept the news of my death from Grandpa William.Grant stumbled towar

The family doctor could hardly believe his own words, but the autopsy report was there in black and white.The news shattered Grant."What do you mean... she died three days ago?""She was talking to me three days ago! We argued!"In an instant, Grant froze, as if struck by lightning.Heavy tears rolled down his cheeks, unchecked.He remained collapsed on the floor of my empty room, his mind replaying every moment of our last three days together.The first day, I had drunk the abortifacient myself, without a fight, without a tear.The second day, I had burned all our memories, terrifyingly calm.The third day, I had gone to say goodbye to Grandpa, telling him I was going somewhere far away.So much had happened, but Aria hadn't appeared at the dinner table once.How could a normal person go three days without eating? And then there was her strange behavior at Claire's celebration dinner…"She said she didn't have a tomorrow..."Grant's voice trembled. "She really didn't have a tomorrow

Chapter 6

I watched Grandpa William's stooped figure ascend the stairs, his hair now completely white. My eyes stung.The Don I had once admired most was truly old now.He had carefully protected me for over a decade, and in the end, I couldn't even be there to take care of him in his old age.I longed to hug him.But I could only watch as my soul passed right through him.I stood there, helpless and frozen, watching Grandpa's back as he disappeared.That night, Grant brought out several bottles of aged whiskey from his private cellar.For as long as I could remember, Grant rarely drank to excess, unless he was particularly furious or had lost control.But for the past few days, he had been drinking constantly. He was almost never sober.He rummaged through my vanity and found a yellowed music book.It was Chopin's "Tristesse," the piece I loved to play most when I was alive."Aria..." his voice trembled, "I'm sorry...""I was wrong. I was so, so wrong..."He clutched the music book as if he wer

Claire burst into tears, desperately trying to defend herself."No, I truly love you. Please, you have to believe me."Grant let out a scornful laugh, his eyes devoid of any warmth."Claire, do you even know what love is?""Is love drugging someone? Is love faking a kidnapping? Is love framing your own sister?""If that's what you call love, then I'd rather never be loved at all!"Unmoved, Grant gave her a cold order. "Get out of my house. Now."With that, Grant pushed past Claire and walked away.Claire fell to the floor. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she began to wail hysterically."Grant, come back! Don't abandon me!""Please, come back!"Grant left without a backward glance, and I floated away with him.I looked back at Claire for a moment, but I felt nothing at all.Grant went to the family's private chapel. He was silent throughout the entire memorial service.After the ceremony, he took my urn to the Bennett family cemetery alone.In life, I'd had few friends in this b

Chapter 8

His powerful hand clamped around Claire's slender neck as if she were a traitor.Claire struggled violently in Grant's grip, her face turning purple."Grant... let go... I can't breathe..."Just as Claire was about to be choked to death, Grant released her.His expression was glacial, his voice as cold as the depths of hell."Claire, I want to kill you with my own hands."Claire collapsed to the ground.She gasped for fresh air, unable to speak a single word.The next second, the rain turned into a torrential downpour.Grant strode back into the estate, leaving Claire to lie unconscious in the rain.I watched her for a while from outside. A short time later, Vincent sent someone to pick her up.That night, the Bennett family officially announced the cancellation of the marriage alliance.The old Don personally issued an order, declaring Vincent and Claire enemies of the Bennett family. Any faction that sheltered them would face the family's retribution.The news spread like wildfire t

Chapter 9

Grant's soul trembled, trying to move closer to me."Aria, I know I made an unforgivable mistake.""I was blinded by Claire's lies and I hurt you.""But I understand now. I love you. I've always loved you!"His voice was filled with desperation and longing."Ever since we were kids, you were the most important person to me.""I taught you how to shoot, I took bullets for you, because I loved you!""I was just too stupid to recognize my own heart!"I shook my head, my tone still detached."Grant, it's too late.""I admit, I once loved you deeply. But that's over now. The attachment is gone.""I don't love you, and I don't hate you either.""Don't you understand?"Grant looked up at me, dejected. "It's not that I don't understand... It's... I can't accept it."After a moment of silence, I spoke."Grant, I don't regret loving you. But some people, some things, once they're gone, they're gone forever.""The blood and tears between us have severed any thread of fate we might have shared.""

Chapter 10

I had been spending a lot of time with the school's star quarterback. He was the typical golden boy, and though we weren't officially dating, the whole school was gossiping about us.Watching from the sidelines, Grant was consumed with a jealousy he was powerless to act on.He remembered how I had once loved him with that same innocent and fiery passion.His heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.My parents were a little worried. They talked it over with Leo's family and decided to keep a close eye on the situation.At such a crucial time, they didn't want me to get distracted.Before they could worry too much, I came home crying on the night of the homecoming dance.I found out the quarterback didn't actually like me; he had just made a bet with his teammates to see who could win over the "nice girl from the suburbs" first.Seeing me cry my heart out, Grant was filled with self-loathing and pain.He remembered the countless vicious things he had said to me, and wondered if I
