Chapter 1

When I woke up, Wayne Fall was sitting beside my bed.The moment he noticed I was awake, he silently stood, walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and held it out to me.When I looked up and met his concerned gaze, I almost believed he had become the Wayne who always stood by my side once again.But the next second, he turned his hand over, revealing the familiar white pill resting in his palm.My voice tightened with a trace of pleading."Can I... not take it?"Wayne paused briefly, then brought the pill directly to my lips."Fiona, be good."I stayed silent for a moment before finally giving in and tilting my head back to swallow it.Yet tears slipped from the corners of my eyes, and the bitterness in my mouth seemed to grow even stronger.Ever since I had desperately tried to expose Lily Hart's schemes, everyone treated me as a jealous lunatic.Only Wayne insisted that I was merely lacking a certain vitamin and became emotionally tense because of it.He was a psychiatrist. He

That evening, Ryan drove the four of us down from the hillside estate at breakneck speed.He drove aggressively, and before long my stomach churned so violently I felt like I was about to throw up. I couldn't help speaking up."Slow down. I'm getting carsick."A mocking laugh came from the driver's seat."Who are you trying to fool? You used to love speeding."He was right.Out of the four of us, Ryan and I had been obsessed with racing. We used to challenge each other on mountain roads all the time.Even my first sports car was a gift from him.But that was before.Ninety-nine rounds of medication and hypnosis had left my nervous system fragile beyond repair.Most days, I struggled to keep my balance. Bruises frequently appeared on my body from accidental bumps, and even the brief sensation of weightlessness in an elevator made me uncomfortable.Street racing was out of the question.Lily's envious voice sounded softly from the back seat."Ryan, that's so exciting. You have no idea ho

The looks of shock on their faces made it clear they hadn't expected such a fierce reaction from me.After all, they grew accustomed to the gentle, submissive version of me.What they had forgotten was that I had once been someone they cherished and protected above all else.How could I not have had a temper of my own?I only buried all my sharp edges because I cared about them.I carried every grievance and swallowed every hurt because they mattered to me.The rebirth and death had all been part of a lie they created for Lily's sake.The thought made my chest ache even more.I turned and headed for the door.Lily hurried after me, trying to stop me.The moment she grabbed my arm, I shook her off.She let out a startled cry and fell to the floor.Wayne, who was sitting quietly in the corner, shot to his feet.He rushed over, helped her up, and immediately checked her over for injuries, his concern obvious.The stark contrast in his reaction made my eyes sting.I didn't stay another sec

"No!"Before my horrified eyes, Wayne ripped my jacket off in a single motion.Adrian and Ryan both looked uneasy and rushed forward to stop him, only to be silenced by a glare.In that brief exchange of looks, the three men reached an unspoken agreement.Things went too far.The only way forward was to keep this "rebirth" charade going. Otherwise, the entire lie would fall apart.No matter how much I cried, screamed, or struggled, none of them hesitated.Piece by piece, they stripped away my clothes until only my underwear remained.I could only fold my arms across my chest and curl up on the floor.Every inch of exposed skin trembled in the cold air.Wayne stood at the front with Adrian and Ryan beside him, my clothes clutched in their hands as they looked down at me from above."Fiona, either apologize to Lily or get out."In that instant, countless memories flashed through my mind.Ever since I could remember, the four of us were inseparable.When we were six, Adrian was bullied b

I had only met Edward Rivers once before.Distinguished and untouchable were my impression of him.But now, all sense of composure was gone.He charged forward without a care for appearances, kicking away the bodyguards surrounding me before dropping to one knee and pulling me into his arms.I saw the panic and concern on his face and my nose suddenly stung.I buried my face against his chest like a lost bird finally finding its way home, I broke down and cried.And once I started, I couldn't stop.All the grief, fear, and humiliation I'd endured came pouring out at once.Edward was my biological brother.He was the heir to the Rivers family.With a gentleness I never imagined him capable of, he softly reassured me."It's alright. I'm here now. Everything's okay. I'm taking you home."Before I could respond, Wayne let out a cold laugh from the side."And who the hell do you think you are? You think you can just take her away?"He looked at me and crooked a finger."Fiona. Come here."H

The next day, Edward brought me back to the Hart residence.Richard Hart and Michelle Hart, who had been overseas on a business trip, rushed home as well. The heads of the Cole, Hayes, and Fall families had also been invited, turning the gathering into a formal luncheon.I watched as the older generation fawned over Edward, treating the young heir from the Rivers family with barely concealed deference."Fiona's a lucky girl. Even after getting separated from her family, she never ended up suffering in some small town. Thank goodness she came to our family. We treated her like a treasure.""Exactly. Out of all the girls he grew up with, my son only ever followed Fiona around. The two of them were clearly meant to be."Edward paid them little attention.Instead, he quietly added food to my plate.I sensed a burning gaze fixed on me and looked up.Wayne was staring at me, his brows tightly furrowed.I turned away and flashed Edward a sweet smile."Thank you, Ed."Out of the corner of my

"At first, Lily came to me and told me that Fiona was bullying her and trying to drive her out of the Hart family."Wayne's expression was earnest, filled with remorse."I knew Fiona could be a little spoiled and hot-tempered because we'd all spoiled her growing up. I thought that since they were both your daughters, Mr. Hart, I'd pay a little more attention to Lily."He lowered his head."But after that, things got worse and worse. She started spreading rumors and framing Fiona. I was deceived too."He motioned for one of the household maids to step forward.The woman trembled as she revealed everything in one breath—how Lily ordered her to hide items in my room, how she helped fabricate evidence, and all the other schemes she'd been instructed to carry out."I didn't want to do it!"The maid broke down crying."But Miss Lily said she was the real heiress of this family. She said she'd fire me if I didn't listen to her!"Lily shook her head frantically."No! That's not true!"The deni

Before leaving Southport, I finally found myself afraid that my parents wouldn't like me and they had already found another daughter.Edward seemed to know exactly what I was thinking.He pulled out a photograph and handed it to me.It was a picture of a little girl who looked remarkably like me.The smile on my lips froze and slowly turned bitter.Then Edward spoke."My parents met her during a charity event. She was about your age."He glanced at the photo."At the time, even I thought they'd bring her home after the event was over, but they didn't."His voice softened."They said they had never once considered raising another little girl. The love meant for their princess couldn't be divided, not even a little. No one was allowed to take any of it away."A faint smile appeared in his eyes."Still, they found her an excellent family. They said seeing a face so much like yours suffer would break their hearts."He looked directly at me."So, do you understand now? We've been waiting fo
