Chapter 1

At the gate to the cemetery, I felt a strong grip on my wrist again.Noah Pratt stood before me with bloodshot eyes.“Virginia, let’s talk this through.”“We have nothing to talk about,” I said coldly as I wrenched my hand out of his grasp.His fingers twitched in midair, but he finally let his hand drop. “How dare you come back here, Virginia?”Noah’s best friend, Sheldon Baker, furiously took a few steps forward. “Don’t you think you’ve caused Noah enough harm? Are you here to make trouble again because you heard Noah is planning to get engaged to Yvonne? I’m begging you, let him go.”I had no intention of getting caught in this argument. I angled my body away to leave.But Sheldon lost his cool and reached out to block my way. He shoved me so hard that I fell to the ground. My elbows and knees stung.Seemingly at the same time, Noah took a subconscious step forward and reached out as if to help me up. He frowned. There was a look of hurt in his eyes. “Don’t touch m

We grew closer after that. He was the only boy in my life. During his final year of high school, He got accepted into the nation’s top university. However, he mysteriously disappeared on the day he was supposed to start university.I had searched for him in a frenzy. In the end, my father, Henry, used his connections to find out that he had been abducted because his stepmother was afraid that he would go after his rightful inheritance. That night, when I found him in an abandoned warehouse, he was severely injured. Yet, he had clenched his teeth and did not allow a single tear to fall. I had cried and begged Henry to save him. Thus, Henry traded a contract worth 100 million dollars for Noah’s freedom. He let Noah go to university. From the shadows, Henry helped Noah, introducing him to people and mentoring him to become an heir. Indeed, Noah was the most amazing person I had ever known. As long as he wanted something, he would get it. No matter what, he was the most ex

At that moment, I could almost hear my heart breaking.I had been wearing the wedding dress that came at the price of my parents’ lives while standing on the cusp of the happiness they hoped so much that I would have.Yet, what I heard was the scheming of my fiance, who wanted to use me for all I was worth. I felt the blood turn to ice in my body, and it was as if my heart had even stopped beating. I wanted to rush inside to ask him how he could do this to me. But, in the end, I turned around and walked away. I was a coward. I did not even have the courage to question Noah. I had gone from walking on the clouds to the depths of despair. It had only taken the blink of an eye. Like a ghost, I drifted back to my own lounge and looked at myself in the mirror, still in that wedding dress. What a joke. The dress felt like an ironic insult. A thought born of weakness popped up in my head. Maybe I had misheard it. Maybe they had some kind of reason for doing this. Maybe I s

I showed off the wedding ring in my hand and smiled at him sweetly.“That’s right.”Noah seemed struck by my smile. His motions were haphazard as he reached out to grab my hand. I avoided him. He looked at his empty hand in a daze and asked softly, “Are you lying to me, Virginia? Don’t you love me?”I did not know how Noah had the nerve to say such things. “Back then…”I slapped Noah viciously. “Back then? How dare you mention anything from back then? Everything you have, you have because of me, Noah. My family raised you. But what did you do in return?“You used the fact that Yvonne had saved your life as an excuse to mess around with her. You even plotted to steal my inheritance from my parents after they died!”I was so angry that I shook all over. My eyes were bloodshot I clenched my fists tightly, even though all I wanted was to slap him again.Noah’s expression darkened very quickly after hearing what I said. He glared at me. He seemed to want to explain things

Even though I was still confused, I kept investigating. That was how I learned that there was another layer to Noah’s abduction. Yvonne was not even the person who had saved him. Back in the day, Yvonne had pretended to be so penniless that she could not even afford food. She had done so just to get close to me. Yvonne herself was the heiress of a wealthy family. However, her family’s company had failed to keep up with the times and had gone bankrupt. Her parents had gone all over to ask for help and had even come to us. But they were rejected. Yvonne’s father could not handle the reality and fell into despondency. He kept sleeping around. Yvonne’s mother could not deal with her husband’s infidelity and committed suicide in front of Yvonne. Thus, Yvonne started to hate my family. After I finished going through this information, I could not stop myself from crying. I had thought all of this had been an accident. But it could not be denied that I had indirectly caused m

Noah did not expect me to slap him. Noah had always been a domineering person. He never asked for my opinion and always forced his edicts on me. I could see the hurt in his eyes. But none of that mattered to me. It was exactly this hurt that I planned to use against him. Damon knew my plan, so he said exceptionally carelessly, “Well, what’s it to you if my wife is willing to live the hard life with me?”Noah looked at me in disbelief. To his mind, I was a spoiled and pampered brat. There was no way I would suffer such a difficult life with a poor and powerless man. Noah’s lower lip trembled as he asked, “Ginny?”But I was unwilling to say even one word to him. I opened the door and said, “Please leave, Mr. Pratt.”It was not surprising that Noah had been able to find me. He had a vast network and resources, so it was child’s play.In any case, I wanted to win his sympathy. If Noah saw me living a life where I did not have to worry about food or a roof over my head, then

“If you had only given us the tiniest bit of help, my family wouldn’t have ended up this way!” Yvonne said. I looked at her calmly with emotionless eyes. It seemed that Yvonne could not stand my calmness. She picked up her coffee cup and was about to splash her drink on me. I did not allow that to happen. I slapped her right in the face. “Yvonne Hastings, my parents did not cause your parents’ downfall. However, you did cause everything that happened to me, and I will make you pay for it.”No one had ever dared to speak to Yvonne this way since she got together with Noah.For an instant, she was livid, and she scrambled up from the floor to hit me back. I did not hesitate to slap her again. I did not hold back at all, and her face soon reddened, showing the imprint of my palm. Yvonne looked at me with even more venom in her eyes. Suddenly, though, she went numb and weak. She covered her head and rolled around on the floor. “Don’t hit me! Please don’t hit me! Ginny,

However, I coldly said, “I don’t need your money.”Noah was suddenly enraged by this. He slammed a hand on the table. “Don’t pretend to be high and mighty, Virginia. Don’t think I don’t know what kind of life you’re living now. I am offering you sympathy.”Damon coldly stood before me like a shield. “Ginny said no. Didn’t you hear her?”Noah burst into hysterical laughter. I had never seen him lose his composure so completely before in all my life. He seemed like he had lost his mind. “Don’t you know what five million dollars would mean to you? Don’t you know what kind of life Virginia used to live? She used to be a pampered princess. Back in the day, five million dollars was nothing to her.“But her family went bankrupt years ago. This is money you’ll never see, even if you worked hard all your life.”At some point, Noah had learned to judge people based on looks. Just from what Damon wore, he determined that Damon was not successful. When it all came back down to it, eve

Chapter 9

In the past, Noah would unhesitatingly envelop Yvonne in his arms and patiently comfort her.But right then, he slapped her without any hesitation. He was shaking from the anger, and he had put his full strength into the slap. “You disappoint me, Yvonne.”Another palm print etched itself on Yvonne’s face. Her hair was a mess, and Yvonne dropped to her butt on the floor inelegantly.Then, she started cursing out Noah. “Do you think you’re all that? You were going to be engaged to Ginny, but you still kept messing around with me. You deserve to be played.”Noah had regained a bit of his cool. After all, he had spent many years with Yvonne and had feelings for her. However, Yvonne’s words reignited his temper. He grabbed Yvonne by the hair and smashed her head on the tabletop. Yvonne’s pretty face quickly became a bloody mess. She lost all energy to keep resisting Noah. She simply closed her eyes and lost consciousness. Noah quickly realized that Yvonne had died. He starte
