Chapter 1

I pushed my suspicions aside. Forcing a smile onto my face, I exchanged pleasantries with my adopted sister, Peyton Young. Throughout the drive home, I tried calling my wife, Gwendolyn Shaw, but she never answered.The moment I returned to the home I hadn't seen in years, I discovered that the giant bedroom I shared with Gwen had been turned into Peyton's walk-in closet.The room was crammed with all kinds of high heels and designer items that Peyton had bought for herself. Feeling irritated, I rummaged through the mess before I caught sight of the luxury bags I'd given Gwen over the years.As the strange feeling in my gut grew stronger, I called my father, Jeremy Young."Didn't I tell you to give the watch to Gwen? Why is it on Peyton's wrist?" I demanded. "Also, why did you turn me and Gwen's bedroom into a walk-in closet? Where on earth is Gwen sleeping now?"To my surprise, he started accusing me of making a fuss out of nothing. "Your sister just borrowed it from Gwen to w

Upon hearing Thomas' choked-up voice, I was immediately overcome with a looming sense of dread. However, no matter how I pressed him for answers, he continued speaking in riddles. In the end, he could only ask for my understanding."There are some things that I simply can't say. After all… there are some people that I can't afford to cross," he told me. "I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from, Mr. Young…""I don't understand!" I shouted, my anxiety getting the better of me. "I don't even know where my wife is! What on earth happened here?"Thomas sighed repeatedly. Afterward, he apologized several times and hung up.Feeling frustrated, I wandered through the enormous villa alone. I searched the entire building, but I couldn't find Gwen's bedroom anywhere. To make matters worse, even our wedding photos were nowhere to be seen. The entire house was filled with Peyton's portraits and scenic photographs from her travels around the world. It was evident that my father had taken

"Since when did my wife become your servant, Peyton?" I demanded.I yanked the watch from Peyton's wrist. "This was a birthday present I bought for Gwen. Why is it on your wrist? I'd like an explanation about her bedroom and her job too!"I was, after all, the Young family's biological son. I assumed that if I showed Peyton I wasn't someone to be trifled with, she—an adopted daughter of the family—would think twice before crossing me. To my dismay, she remained completely unfazed. She rushed forward and snatched the watch back. "Dad gave it to me. If you have a problem, take it up with him."She didn't bother showing me the slightest respect in front of all the household staff. Instead, she shot back at me with open hostility."Your father's still alive. He's still the head of this family, so you have no right to call the shots around here!"Behind me, Gwen was anxiously tugging at the hem of my shirt. Sobbing, she cried, "Forget it, honey. I'm okay. Let's not upset Peyton."Th

My hands trembled as I clicked on the video. I was only three seconds into the footage before I was overcome with uncontainable anger. No longer caring about being a respectful son, I spun around and slapped my father across the face with all my strength. "You're a disgrace to your own family, Jeremy Young! You're no father of mine!" I roared.My actions left everyone in the room completely stunned. On the phone screen, I finally saw the horrifying truth.In the video, Peyton and Jeremy sat arrogantly on the couch. Looking down at Gwen with disdain, they ordered her around as she knelt at their feet like a lowly dog."You. Fetch me that slipper with your mouth," Peyton ordered.Gwen tried her best to fight back her tears. When she didn't move, Peyton's expression darkened."You're just a dog that belongs to the Young family. How dare you disobey your master?" Peyton snarled.Jeremy, who had one arm around Peyton, casually raised his hand to threaten Gwen. "Are you going to

I glared at Peyton, who was still standing there with an arrogant look on her face, and finally voiced all of my grievances."You spent a tremendous amount of money on Peyton and spoiled her like a princess. I was jealous of her, but I kept telling myself that she was a poor orphan who'd lost both of her parents."It seemed like she was destined to be part of our family. She saved your life, and you brought her home to give her a comfortable life. I thought that you were simply doing a good deed by repaying her for saving you."When Jeremy first brought Peyton home, she was dressed in rags and could barely speak proper Brinnish. She was thin and sickly, but she had delicate features. Her eyes, in particular, looked especially bright and beautiful.Jeremy had told everyone that he'd been involved in a car accident in the countryside, and that Peyton had happened to be nearby. According to him, she had pulled him from the wreckage in time and saved his life. In order to repay her, he

Heartbroken, I pulled Gwen tightly into my arms."Don't worry. I'll make sure she suffers ten times more than you did. From now on, no one will ever treat you that way again," I declared.Upon hearing that, Jeremy flew into a fit of rage. "Have you forgotten about your own father now that you have a wife? You're going to be punished for being such a disrespectful son, Theodore Young!" Turning toward Gwen, he screamed, "You little temptress! What kind of spell did you put on my son? How did you make him disrespect his own father?"I covered Gwen's ears and gently reassured her, "Don't be afraid. You didn't do anything wrong. If anything, I should be thanking you."I should've given up on my family a long time ago, but I couldn't bring myself to make that decision. My foolish devotion to my father made me hesitant, and my decision ended up hurting you too."I added, apologetic, "I'm sorry I let you suffer for so long, but I'd also like to thank you for finally forcing me to make u

Anyone who offered Peyton bribes or tried to curry favor with her got a promotion. Meanwhile, anyone who opposed her actions or dared to speak against her was fired on the spot. To make matters worse, she refused to offer them any form of severance pay.Her reckless behavior had dragged the company into one lawsuit after another, leaving the legal team scrambling to deal with a never-ending stream of cases.Outside of work, Peyton was just as entitled and obnoxious. Among other things, she'd been caught driving under the influence, speeding, and verbally and physically assaulting the staff at luxury boutiques. She got into trouble incredibly often.Jeremy, on the other hand, was completely bewitched by her.Whenever she got herself into trouble, he'd swoop in and pay off the victim to make the problem disappear. She'd never had to deal with the consequences of her actions, and she became increasingly brazen as a result."Thankfully, you've managed to build a successful career over

"I was so terrified that I couldn't even think straight. The only thing I managed to save was our wedding photo. I kept it in the basement, and whenever I felt like I couldn't go on anymore, I'd look at it and remind myself that I had to keep going…" Gwen cried.She wiped away her tears before continuing, "I asked your father to stand up for me. But instead of doing that, he slapped me across the face and said that Peyton was the true lady of the house. According to him, I was just someone that his son had married on a whim."He kept telling me that you didn't love me at all, and that Peyton was only treating me this way because you told her to do so. He even dared me to complain to you. He claimed that you wouldn't do anything about it even if I did."I was furious."How could he make up such lies about me? Did you actually believe him?"Gwen shook her head. "No, but I didn't dare to tell you what was happening either. Every time I complained, they'd only punish and abuse me even

Chapter 9

Jeremy softened his tone and tried to plead for mercy."No matter what happened, I'm still your father," he cried, "Besides, Peyton saved my life. Do you think you can—"I had no interest in listening to any of his excuses. I hung up before he could finish and blocked his number.Afterward, I went straight to the company and had the PR team issue a statement. The Young family was officially cutting all ties with Jeremy and Peyton Young. I also announced Peyton's dismissal on the spot. At the company-wide meeting, I declared, "Anyone who climbed the ranks by bribing Peyton has one week to resign voluntarily. After that, if I find that anyone is still clinging to their position, I'll have them prosecuted for bribery and corruption. I'll send them over to prison to keep Peyton company."My return was a huge shock to the entire company.Those who had long since grown sick of Peyton's behavior couldn't have been any happier. Many of them even came forward with valuable information,
