Chapter 11

Morgan said, "I was blind before. Will you give me another chance now?"A wave of disgust hit me so suddenly that my lips twitched. Had I really been so foolish to fall for a man like him?Before I could even refuse, James panicked. He grabbed my other hand and started rattling off everything I had ever done for him, even pulling out the emerald pendant I had given him long ago."El, do you remember this?" he asked. "When I was sick with that fever, you climbed over a thousand steps up Mt. Peakview just to get this emerald pendant made to keep me safe. I'll admit I used you at first, but then I realized I'd truly fallen in love with you. "Are you really going to throw away five years of our marriage just like that?"A wave of nausea washed over me. I had really been stupid back then. Why did I insist on scavenging for men in a garbage heap? Even worse, I had allowed those two to manipulate me so easily.Both James and Morgan gazed at me with expectant eyes, shoving their gifts t

The firmness in my stance made James realize there was no hope for us. He fell to the ground, sobbing violently in the cold wind.I simply turned and walked off, ignoring him completely.I had barely taken a few steps when I heard footsteps behind me.When I quickened my pace, they did too. When I slowed, they slowed as well. No matter what I did, they stayed at the same distance.My heart jolted. I realized I was being followed.I seized the moment and darted into a narrow alley.Just as I was patting myself on the back for losing them, a sharp pain shot through the back of my head.Suddenly, everything went black, and I passed out.When I opened my eyes again, I was in an abandoned flour mill. My hands and feet were bound tightly to a chair, and I couldn't move a muscle.As confusion set in, a cold, eerie voice sounded above me. "Elsa, you are finally awake."I looked up, and a familiar figure came into view.I froze. "Cassandra?"The vibrant, glamorous Cassandra I once k

Their sudden appearance caught me completely off guard.I hated them for what they had done to me, but I still didn't want them to lose their lives because of me. I took a deep breath and shouted at them, "Why are you here? Leave now. Cassandra has a knife. This place is dangerous."To my shock, they didn't retreat. Instead, they walked a few steps toward me."El, we aren't afraid.""Exactly. We weren't ready to give up and wanted a chance to win you back, so we followed you. We never imagined we'd see you being taken.""Do you know what we did to catch up with you? James and I ran through several red lights. Thank God we arrived in time. I can't even imagine what would have happened if we hadn't."Cassandra could never have imagined that the two brothers who had always pampered and protected her would one day act as if she didn't exist. Even worse, they showed care and concern for her supposed replacement right in front of her. Jealousy consumed her completely. Her face contor

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying in a hospital bed. The doctor had just finished examining me."There's nothing serious," he said. "Once this IV is done, you'll be cleared to go home."The moment I saw him, a sharp pain flared in my head as something came rushing back to me. I grabbed his sleeve in a panic. "Doctor, is there a patient here named James? How is he? How about his brother, Morgan? Is he okay?"The doctor looked at me with sympathy and gave my shoulder a gentle pat. "Morgan was already gone by the time he was brought in. Please accept our condolences. "As for James, one of his legs was already badly injured. After the explosion, the other leg was also destroyed. His injuries were too severe. There was nothing we could do. From now on, he'll have to rely on a wheelchair. If you have the time, try to be there for him and offer some support."With that, the doctor turned and walked away.I stood there in a daze, unable to say a single word. It turned ou
