After I won my case and got back home, I spotted a popular social media post as I scrolled through my phone.[Is it wrong to fall in love with someone who already belongs to another?]The answer with the most likes was from someone named 'Camila'.[Being in love isn't the same as being married. If you can steal the heart of someone taken, you deserve to keep it. If they don't love their partner enough to stay loyal, their partner is the real outsider in the relationship. I'm the perfect example!]I checked out her profile, and it was all pictures of diamond rings, big houses, and private jets.She wrote all about how she stole a broke student's boyfriend. She described making them misunderstand each other, breaking up their relationship, and finally taking her place.[He was actually the only son of a super-rich guy. He was hiding it because he wanted to see what life was like for normal people.][Now, he's the CEO of a big company. We're married and really happy together! His e

I was swamped with my thesis, studying for the bar exam, and interning. My days were a whirlwind of activity.Visits to Alexander's studio grew rare, and I barely had time to brush my hair.Whispers started to spread around campus."Alexander and her? They're an odd match. It looks like she snagged a male model.""Totally. He looks way better next to that freshman."However, if Alexander ever caught wind of the rumors, he would shut them down with a stern look.Whenever she saw me, Camila would sweetly talk to me and often try to gift me fancy skincare products."No, really, you shouldn't." I declined the cream she offered for the third time. "I'm not used to these things.""Alice!" she said with a playful pout, latching onto my arm. "Take it, please. I felt like you were a sister to me from the moment we met."Slowly, I started to drop my guard.Once we became friends, she even volunteered to help me keep an eye on Alexander."Alice, you should focus on your work!" she said

On our way to get her passport, my daughter could not stop talking about Pigeon Square in Fiorenza."Mommy, can I feed a whole bunch of pigeons? Will you come with me?""Of course! I'll be right there with you for whatever you want," I said, smiling and stroking her hair.Too bad I had to start my new job at the Blake Group today and could not spend more time with her.I quickly led my daughter past the line and into the VIP lounge to wait for our turn."Hello, I'll be helping you with... Alice?! "I spun around, and there was Camila, in her crisp uniform. She glared at me.Was it really her?I did not want to waste words, so I grabbed my daughter's hand, ready to walk away.However, Camila stepped in front of us, eyeing our plain dresses."It is you, isn't it? How did you manage to get into the VIP room? This is only for clients who make more than ten million a year!"Oh, I get it. You must've ridden some rich guy's coattails to get in, huh? What, did he dump you? You look

"Is Alexander out of his mind?" I asked Danial. "Does he even realize what he's doing?""I'm perfectly aware." Alexander stepped in, his eyes filled with mixed emotions as he looked at me."I just want to make things right," he said softly. "I used to think you left because I was broke. It took me a while to find out about your mom."I let out an icy laugh. "What's the point of talking about this now?""There isn't one," he admitted openly. "All I can do is give you something real."He had discovered that my daughter was adopted and that life had not been easy for me. The will he was offering was his way of trying to make up for the past.I did not say yes, but I did not say no either. I just took the papers and left.While I was in Fiorenza with my daughter for two months, I forgot all about it.Back home, a mountain of work was waiting for me. My first appointment was with a mysterious high-society lady. I got to the fancy club on time, but when I opened the private room door

Alexander's hand froze in the air, the imprint of my fingers stark against his cheek."Why did you hit me again?" he yelled, his eyes brimming with anger and hurt. "I'm here to help you!"I calmly pushed him away.Honestly, I had wanted to slap him for the longest time.The man on the ground was trying to stand up, hurling insults. "You little brat! How dare you hit me! I'm your dad! And what gives you the right to hit me, Mr. Fancy Pants? It's my right to discipline my daughter!"Daughter?That word set fire to all my rage.I grabbed a sedative from the emergency kit a nurse had left behind and charged at him, pressing it to his neck."Daughter? When I was desperate and called you for help, begging you to care for Mom as her husband and as my father, where were you?"Busy with your lovers, I bet!"Mom's been in this bed for years. Have you even looked at her once?"Now that your girlfriends have dumped you, you come crawling to me for money?"Why should I give you any?"H
