“You’re released, and I hope we won’t have to see you again, Aeris.”The officer’s voice sounded cold as the large gate in front of Aeris slowly opened. For three years, that sight had existed only in her imagination.“Thank you,” Aeris said quietly.“Be careful if you drive again. Make sure you don’t hurt anyone.”Aeris clenched her hands tightly. Memories of what had happened in the past came rushing back. But she quickly pushed them away because remembering them again was too painful.She already felt fortunate enough to be free.Today, for the first time, there were no more iron doors imprisoning her, no more bars restricting her steps, and no one telling her where she had to go.Aeris stood still for a moment before stepping outside.As soon as she left the gate, Aeris lifted her face and took a deep breath. The air outside felt different. Fresher, more spacious, and most importantly, it no longer carried the damp smell of the place that had been her prison for three years.She i

As David’s car entered the Harrison family’s driveway, Aeris simply stared at the large house standing before her. The house had not changed. The tall pillars, the well-maintained garden, and the main door that had once always been open to welcome her home all looked the same as she remembered.And yet, for some reason, this time the house felt so unfamiliar.Three years ago, Aeris had left this place with her hands bound and accusations that had changed her life. She had tried to explain, crying as she gave countless testimonies, but none of it had been enough to make her family take her side. Not even a little. They had all joined in hating and ignoring her.Today, she returned as someone who no longer knew whether she still had a place in this house or not.David got out first. Aeris followed without saying anything.As soon as the main door was opened, laughter could be heard from the family room. Several people were gathered there, and in the middle of them stood Cyntia in a simp

David stared intently at Aeris. “You replace Cyntia, Aeris.”David’s words immediately received agreement from almost everyone at the dining table. Most of them argued that Cyntia was still too young, that her career still had a long way to develop, and that the best way out was for Aeris to replace her.Aeris calmly set down her spoon. “I know this marriage is meant to save the company and could even help it grow further, Dad.” She looked at her father calmly.“I’m full.” Aeris stood up, ending her dinner. But before she actually left the dining table, she said, “I’ve also heard that the Castilano family has considerable influence and great wealth. You could live a luxurious life, Cyntia. Are you sure you want to pass that up?”“Aeris!” Daniel snapped, displeased. “Watch your attitude!”But Aeris didn’t care. She chose to return to her room.And the next day, Cyntia was reported to be ill. Since morning, she had refused to eat and didn’t want to see anyone. Jenny said her daughter fe

In the end, Daniel and Jenny agreed to all the conditions Aeris had set. After that, the Harrison family began making preparations for Aeris’s marriage into the Castilano family.Various wedding items began arriving at the Harrison residence. Dresses, jewelry, bags, shoes, and various gifts from the Castilano family were sent for their future daughter-in-law.However, before Aeris had a chance to see any of them, Cyntia had already arrived.She looked at the items with sparkling eyes. To her, all of them should have been hers anyway. She had always been the daughter acknowledged by the Harrison family. So when she saw the expensive items sent by the Castilano family, Cyntia felt there was nothing wrong with taking them.Even Daniel and Jenny did not stop her immediately.Aeris, who had just come down from upstairs, stood only a few steps away, watching Cyntia as she picked out a jewelry box.No one asked her whether it was all right to touch the items intended for her. After all, all

Gio felt angry and disappointed. How could Aeris do something like this? However, after thinking about it, perhaps Aeris really had never changed.“You really haven’t changed at all,” Giovani said coldly. “You’ve always been money-hungry. All you’ve ever known is how to seek benefits for yourself.”Aeris looked at him without expression.“And now you’re even turning marriage into a transaction,” Giovani continued. “But perhaps you’re lucky. At least there’s still the Castilano family willing to accept you.”Aeris’s gaze changed slightly. She had not expected Giovani to say something like that to her.Giovani smiled sarcastically. “If it weren’t for this marriage, who would want a criminal like you?”Those words made Aeris’s chest feel tight. However, she did not want to argue. She was already too tired of listening to people who only saw her based on the accusations that had once been made against her.Aeris turned around and was about to leave.“What? Can’t you answer?” Giovani’s voi

The wedding day had finally arrived.Since morning, the Harrison family residence had been filled with servants busy preparing everything. However, when Aeris opened the box containing the wedding dress sent by the Castilano family, her gaze immediately fell on the dress that had already been damaged in several places.The fabric was torn here and there.Aeris simply stared at it for a few moments. She knew who had done all of it. She did not need to ask anyone.However, she did not care. If Cyntia thought that ruining the dress would make Aeris call off the wedding, then she was terribly mistaken.Aeris closed the box again, then walked toward her wardrobe. From there, she took out the red dress that had always been her favorite dress. She put it on without hesitation.When Aeris came downstairs, Jenny, who had already been waiting for her, immediately changed expression. “What dress are you wearing?”Aeris stopped on the stairs and looked at her mother calmly. “My favorite dress.”“

Andreas’s words just now left almost all the guests stunned.They had not expected the man to say something so firmly. Even Cyntia, who had tried to interrupt the wedding ceremony, could no longer hide her unwillingness to accept it.Her hands clenched tightly in her lap until her own nails dug into her skin. Her gaze remained fixed on Andreas, then shifted to Aeris, who now stood beside the man with the Castilano family ring wrapped around her finger.Cyntia turned to Jenny and whispered in a restrained voice, “Mom, are you all sure he’s Andreas Castilano?”Jenny let out a soft sigh before answering, “Your father doesn’t really know what Andreas Castilano looks like either. He rarely shows himself, so I suppose it’s only natural that there are so many rumors about him.”Cyntia fell silent. Her gaze returned to Andreas.How was this possible?The man she had only ever heard described as an old and frightening man turned out to be a young man who was incredibly handsome and powerful. A
