Chapter 1

I was locked inside a basement, a lightless place where the only company I had was the sound of rats chewing at the walls. I pleaded with my wife, Tiana Sabell, through my tears, "Please spare Sabrina! She's only seven years old, Tiana! I'll kneel on the stone steps instead; I'll kneel and fast for a week!"Tiana snapped, "If you hadn't staged that accident and pretended to save me, I wouldn't have married you! Hayden wouldn't have been abducted and tormented in a coal mine while he was still grieving! You must suffer the consequences of this forced marriage. "I guess it's true that a dishonest, cruel father like you was bound to raise a child born with such a sinister nature."I collapsed helplessly on the ground as tears streamed down my face. "I never hired anyone to run you over, Tiana."Tiana stated coldly, "You're still denying it even when the evidence is right here. You're a great actor, Nicholas, but I'm done falling for your lies."She then ordered the guards, "You're n

Chapter 2

Tiana had poured most of Sabell Group's capital into a newly developed real estate project; without my capital, the company would face immediate insolvency. Gina had begged me for an investment in this exact same way eight years ago, hoping I would rescue three generations of the Sabell family's legacy.I was forced to kneel in front of the Zeller residence for three days straight and severed ties with my family to marry Tiana. I ignored Natalie Zeller's, my sister's, objections and invested every bit of my money into Sabell Group, alienating the only person in the family who cared for me.What did I receive for my sacrifice?I got to my feet, cradling Sabrina's body in my arms, and stated flatly, "I've officially settled my debt to Tiana, who saved me from drowning ten years ago. I have no reason to remain with the Sabell family now that Sabrina is dead."Gina hunched over, looking as though she had aged ten years all at once. "I'll call Tiana this instant and let you do with her

Chapter 3

Hayden acted the part of the peacemaker, saying, "You shouldn't get upset over something like this, Tiana. Nicholas is only acting out because he's jealous of how much you care for me. I'll take over Sabrina's upbringing and raise her properly once I take over as Sabrina's father." Tiana scoffed. "If he hadn't deceived me into marrying him, you wouldn't have been so devastated and easily fooled into performing such hard labor over the years. It's something he owes you—the suffering he's facing now is nothing compared to what you suffered back then."Tiana linked arms with Hayden and left. Hayden glanced back at me, looking contemptuous and smug.I carried Sabrina upstairs to change her clothes, only to be stopped by the household staff."Ms. Sabell has designated this room for Mr. Henry because of the natural sunlight it receives. It would be considered bad luck to bring a dead body inside; Ms. Sabell and Mr. Brown wouldn't be happy about it."It was obvious to anyone that Sabrin

Hayden looked down and exclaimed, "Oh, no—my shoes got dirty from the dust earlier!"Tiana coaxed him gently, saying, "I'll buy you another pair this afternoon."Hayden's eyes turned bloodshot as he choked back tears. "You were the one who gave these shoes to me. Why is Nicholas always picking on me?"Tiana furrowed her brow as Hayden glanced warily at me. She then barked, "Go clean the dirt off Hayden's shoes!"It was then that one of the household staff nearby said contemptuously, "I can show you how to wait on someone properly."He then glanced up at Tiana, clearly looking for a pat on the back. Tiana remained silent, her compliance serving as a clear endorsement of his behavior.I was forced to press my face against Hayden's shoes.Hayden laughed in satisfaction and took a few photos. He then let out another cry a moment later. "Ouch, my foot! You don't have to hurt me just because you don't want to clean my shoes, Nicholas. I'm already physically weak, so I can't handle bei

Chapter 5

Tiana fell to her knees, looking defeated.It was then that someone pointed a gun at the center of her forehead and snarled, "You deserve to die!"I looked up to see Natalie standing there. I immediately burst into tears as I choked out, "I truly regret everything now, Natalie."Those present were forced to kneel on their knees; the shaman looked on in fear at the overwhelming bodyguards and the line of luxury cars outside. She tried to say something, but Hayden's threatening expression immediately silenced her.Natalie gently supported me as I stood up. She looked at my injuries and stated firmly, "I'll take you to the hospital now. I'll make sure they suffer for this a thousandfold. How dare they lay a hand on the heir of the Zeller family from Brookvale! They don't have enough lives to pay for what they've done!"I held her hand down and shook my head, saying, "I'm fine—it's only a superficial wound."Natalie hugged me tightly, her tone filled with sorrow while saying, "I've w

Chapter 6

Hayden walked up to me with an arrogant air and stated softly, "Your fear won't save you now, Nicholas. Your daughter climbed six thousand stone steps on her knees, prostrating herself until the bone showed, only to die of hunger. I'll make your death even more agonizing than hers!"He then reached out for the gun in Natalie's hand, saying, "Your prop looks quite convincing."Natalie raised her hand and pulled the trigger, leaving a streak of blood to appear across Hayden's cheek.Hayden stared in sheer horror, his knees buckling beneath him. He recoiled in a shuddering heap, backing away. "It's actually a real gun. How can this be? How could Nicholas possibly be the heir of the Zeller family in Brookvale?"Tiana grabbed Gina's sleeve, her voice trembling while asking, "Why was I kept in the dark about Nicholas being the one who invested in Sadell Group? Is Sabrina really my biological daughter? What about that paternity test, then?"Gina repeatedly slapped Tiana across the face,

Chapter 7

It was then that the bodyguards dragged a bloody figure from the car. It was Janine Hill, the driver, who had initially accused me of hiring her to run over Tiana. She slumped on the ground and pointed a bloody finger at Hayden, yelling, "He's the one who bribed me to lie to you once I got out of prison! He's the one who hired me to kill Tiana!"He stole Sabell Group's trade secrets to pay his debts after the Brown family went under. He almost ruined Sabell Group and tried to have Tiana killed to cover his tracks. He wasn't even abducted in the first place—it was actually the work of his own debt collectors."He discovered that Sabell Group was thriving again after he escaped the mountains and wanted a piece of that lifestyle. He was surprised at how easily Tiana believed his lies until she was wrapped around his finger."Henry isn't even Tiana's child. I blackmailed Hayden into sleeping with me by threatening to reveal his attempt on Tiana's life. He told me to have the baby afte

Chapter 8

I sat in the car while Tiana chased after us, limping behind. She still kept her hand stretched out toward me after falling to the ground.Natalie had her men install hidden cameras at the Sabell residence. She handed me a tablet, saying, "How pathetic of them, tearing each other apart like a bunch of animals. I'll pull all our investments from Sabell Group—bankruptcy is just the start of Tiana's punishment."I took the tablet and noticed Tiana slashing at Hayden with a knife on the screen, their blood and the rainwater mixing as it pooled on the ground.Hayden cried and begged for mercy. "Please let me go, Tiana! I only did those things because I loved you deeply! Do our three years together mean nothing to you? Please don't kill me, Tiana!"Tiana grabbed his face tightly and stabbed him in the chest. "How dare you bring up our past! I was devoted to you, but you stole our company's trade secrets for money! What did I do to deserve this? You betrayed me before this, and now you're

Chapter 9

Those household staff left for fear of being dragged down by the Sabell family, leaving only Tiana and Hayden in the massive villa.Tiana kneeled in the center of the living room, repeatedly striking her head with her fists. She was covered in blood as she muttered to herself, "I deserve all of this. I miss you so much, Nicholas. I miss the life I had with you and Sabrina—we were so happy back then."Upon hearing that, I couldn't help but recall the past as well. Sabrina was a lively child; whenever Tiana came home from work, she would rush into her mother's arms to be held.I was busy making soup and a batch of cupcakes in the kitchen. Tiana held Sabrina as she leaned in the doorway, watching me with a grin. "What’s on the menu today? I seem to be in for a treat tonight!"Sabrina wrapped her arms around her neck, exclaiming, "I helped out too! I helped with making the cupcakes!"Tiana gathered her into an embrace and kissed her cheek. "How can my darling daughter be so amazing!"

Chapter 10

During Tiana's first day of begging in Serenstone, a former business rival she had once cheated out of a project came to see her. Tiana's guard picked up some spoiled food from the dirt and forced it into her mouth, saying, "You should stop being so picky since someone was kind enough to give you food. Go on, eat it up."Tiana's former friend dropped by to visit her as well. She threw the food her friend bought onto the floor, yelling, "I don't need your sympathy!"Her friend snapped angrily, "I gave you food because I felt sorry for you! Is this how you repay someone's kindness? You deserve to end up broke and begging on the streets! You'll be begging for the rest of your life in this state, and perhaps when you come crawling to me when you're at death's door, I'll buy you something to eat."Tiana shrieked in a fit of rage, "Get the hell out of here! I don't want anyone's charity!"Tiana's blood soaked through the bandages of her wound, but there was always someone there to dress
