All Chapters of Loving You Was But A Dream: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

For the past four years, I had not only been the respected and well-liked Mrs. Graham. I was also a key contributor within the Graham Corp. Many of the projects that brought the company substantial growth were proposed by me, and a large portion of the employee benefits were secured through my efforts.Two years ago, when West said the company was facing a development bottleneck and urgently needed to collaborate with Smith Group, I agreed without hesitation. Jake Smith was my ex-boyfriend and the man who abandoned me when I was seeking justice for my sister, only to turn around and hire a top-tier lawyer for Nina. Yet, for the sake of West’s company, I set aside all resentment and reconciled with Jake without batting an eye.Now, once again for West, I had personally proposed hosting a welcome party for the woman who killed my sister. With devotion like that, how could he not be moved? And how could the friends and family who knew the inside story not admire someone like me?The we

Over the next two weeks, I showed up at West’s office almost every day. I ate lunch with him in his office—meals I cooked myself—and often waited for him to get off work so we could go home together.After Nina returned, she also started working here. At first, when she saw how frequently I was around West, she was clearly unhappy. She mocked me whenever she could, both openly and behind my back. However, after West reprimanded her a few times, she held herself back a lot more.That day, as usual, I waited for West to finish his work so we could eat together. Instead, I ran straight into Nina at the entrance of the pantry. She seemed to be in a bad mood. The moment she saw me, her eyes narrowed. She was clearly about to make fun of me. However, before she could say anything, hushed whispers drifted out from inside the pantry.“The number of times the CEO and his wife appear together is insane. And he dotes on her so much. They are seriously perfect as a couple.”“That’s right! Mr

After returning home, I carefully studied the copied files. Only then did I realize that I had made the right bet. The project was indeed an investment that West had specifically prepared for Jake.Four years ago, through Jake’s connections at the hospital, West obtained a batch of the latest medical examination reports. Those records clearly showed that my sister, Iris Bell’s heart, was a perfect match for Nina, who suffered from a heart condition. With that, he instructed Jake to get close to me, to pursue me, and to make me fall in love with him so they could gain complete control over both my movements and Iris’s. Soon after, without either of us knowing, they staged a car accident.Using their extensive connections, West and Jake secretly transferred Iris away while she was still clinging to life. She clearly still had a chance to survive, but for the sake of transplanting her heart into Nina, they went ahead and performed the surgery anyway, cutting my sister open and removin

West seemed frozen in place. He didn’t even react to the flashing cameras in front of him. Staring at me in disbelief, he asked hoarsely, “So… you knew all of this?”At that moment, a dark figure suddenly rushed into my line of sight. It was Nina. Her face twisted with rage as she grabbed a chair and swung it straight at me. However, before the chair could reach me, West stepped in front of me, and the heavy blow landed squarely on his back instead.He let out a muffled groan, yet still stood firmly between Nina and me. The next second, he kicked Nina to the ground. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, “Didn’t I tell you never to touch her? We will always owe her for this. Don’t you understand what that means?”As he spoke, he showed no mercy. He lifted his foot and stomped hard on the hand Nina had used to wield the chair. His loss of control shocked even me. As it turned out, between Nina and West, West was the truly unhinged one.Nina let out a piercing scream and cried as

Half a month later, Jake and Nina both confessed to their crimes. Only West remained silent throughout. He requested to see me once and promised that afterward, he would confess everything. After a few seconds of consideration, I agreed to meet him.It had only been half a month, yet West looked as if he had aged more than ten years. However, the moment he saw me through the glass, his exhausted eyes instantly lit up.“Erin, thank you for agreeing to see me one last time. Do you know, during these past ten days here, there hasn’t been a single second when I wasn’t drowning in regret? I’ve imagined countless ‘what ifs.’ What if I hadn’t done something so unforgivable back then? What if we’d had a normal beginning? What if I had recognized my own feelings sooner and chosen to love you properly? Would the ending have been different?”“I took away the only sister you had in this world. I truly have no right to see you again. But there’s one question that has been haunting me. Even if it
