Chapter 1

"What are you waiting around for?" the kidnappers roared on the video. "Transfer 100 million to us right now, or you can get ready to collect your parents' corpses!"No sooner had the kidnapper barked out his demand than several large snakes sank their fangs into Dad's legs, and a heart-wrenching cry instantly echoed across the wedding hall.My face went deathly pale. I trembled uncontrollably as tears streamed down my cheeks.Most of our family business capital had long since been poured into Adrian Dickson's new project after he'd sweet-talked us into it. Forget about 100 million—we couldn't even scrape together a million dollars right now.I clutched the hem of Adrian's suit jacket, pleading desperately with him."Dree, please, save Mom and Dad first! Once they're safe—"But before I could even finish, he cut me off impatiently and said, "So, you're not willing to do it, are you?"He then gave my pale face a contemptuous pat before turning to the kidnappers on the screen, s

Chapter 2

I swore I would never love Adrian again after that day.When Mom and Dad were brought back to safety, they were completely covered in blood. The tendons in Dad's legs had somehow been bitten through by the snakes, and our private doctor said that he might never be able to stand again.Upon hearing the news, Adrian suddenly flew into a rage and smashed everything in the house. In my daze, I seemed to hear him making a couple of angry calls outside, shouting at someone over the phone.I didn't catch the details, nor did I have the energy to care. I simply rushed Mom and Dad straight to the hospital.But after receiving the same grim prognosis from the doctors at the hospital, I couldn't hold back anymore and fell into Mom's arms after she regained consciousness, sobbing uncontrollably."It's all my fault, Mom! If only I hadn't reported that incident back then… I'm the reason why you and Dad ended up in this state!"Mom shook her head at me, her eyes red as she stroked my swollen

However, just as I was about to put the emerald bracelet away, it was snatched from my grasp.I looked up and met Cassandra's eyes, which were filled with malicious mockery. She sneered and said, "So, the eldest daughter of the Hanson family has fallen so low that she's stealing other people's things now?"My chest tightened when I saw her casually twirling the bracelet on her fingertip. I instinctively reached out to grab it back from her."Who said that I stole it? Give it back! If you break it, you won't be able to afford to compensate for it!"Cassandra scoffed. "It's just a cheap bracelet. Wanna bet that even if I really broke it, Dree will just blame you for it?"You saw just how much he adores me with your eyes, didn't you? He thinks that I have depression and is terrified of upsetting me. Honestly speaking, I don't know how you still have the nerve to continue sticking around and always getting in the way."The moment she said that, realization dawned on me."Wait, you

Chapter 4

I froze on the spot. My hands and feet turned completely ice-cold.Suddenly, the details that I'd previously overlooked came flooding back to me. Back then, Adrian didn't seem shocked or surprised that Mom and Dad had been kidnapped. I remembered the furious, indistinct words he'd angrily shouted into his phone when Mom and Dad were admitted to the hospital.His words now pieced together in my mind."Who told you to be so rough with them? Didn't I tell you guys to just scare them and give them minor injuries?"So, even the kidnapping was part of a scheme that Adrian orchestrated just to settle scores on Cassandra's behalf."By the way, Jillian just asked me where Adrian was, claiming that she had something to show him. Do you think that she's already found out about this?"Adrian stiffened for just a second, his expression darkening as a thought crossed his mind."She let her jealousy get the better of her a couple of days ago and laid a hand on Cassie, but she still tried t

Chapter 5

Mom and I were just about to board the plane when I got a call from Adrian."Jillian Hanson! What the hell are you doing? Do you even have any idea what you just sent me?"He seemed so furious that even his voice was trembling uncontrollably. The sight of the fetus had unsettled him just as I'd intended, but for some reason, I couldn't feel happy about it.It struck me at that moment rather incongruously that his reaction was actually laughable. He was acting as though he actually cared about that child."Can't you tell what it is? That's your baby, Adrian."Before I could go on, he cut me off, his breathing ragged as he exploded in rage, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Did you really think you could get a hold over me just by finding some aborted fetus in the trash and sending it my way?"Get over here and apologize at once! If not, you can forget about your parents' company completely!"I listened calmly to him and responded flatly, "Oh, okay. I'll forget about it. Go

Chapter 6

Photos of Adrian and Cassandra kissing under a sky full of fireworks were widely circulated by the media. Aside from that, Cassandra also often shared sweet moments of her everyday life with him on her social media account every single day.I only found out about this when I accidentally saw her stories on social media. In the photo that I saw, Cassandra was leaning on Adrian's shoulder, smiling happily at the camera while he looked down at her with a rare smile on his otherwise cold face.I stared at the photo like I was in a trance.Adrian hadn't smiled at me like that ever since that incident back then.I wasn't even surprised about the proposal either, since he liked Cassandra so much and had just reunited with her. But none of that had anything to do with me anymore anyway.After calming myself down, I decisively logged out and deleted all of my social media accounts. That was also why I didn't know about what happened just three days after that.It was the day of the

Whenever we had free time, Mom, Dad, and I would go fishing, hiking, or to the park together. Life was rather pleasant and leisurely for us, and I rarely thought about Adrian anymore.I knew nothing about what happened in Seaview City after I left, and I certainly never expected to see Adrian again.One day, I went to the restaurant to help out after work. A few customers there tried to leave without paying their bill. During the ensuing argument, I was roughly shoved to the side and stumbled right into someone's arms.I hurriedly tried to steady myself and apologize, but in the next moment, a familiar, angry voice rang out from above me at once."Jillian Hanson! Did you even think about the baby in your belly when you were arguing with them? What if I hadn't caught you? What would have happened if you'd fallen?"I was stunned for just a moment. Then, I blurted, "Adrian Dickson? What are you doing here?"After making the troublemakers pay, Adrian turned to me with a look of displ

Chapter 8

Mom stopped Adrian from trying to grab my hand again, yelling at him, "On what grounds? You were the one who destroyed our family and reduced us to this state. What makes you think that my daughter would still be willing to keep your child? She aborted that child a long time ago!"As she spoke, Mom took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket and threw it in Adrian's face. My eyes widened as I turned to look at her and Dad.I had been afraid that they would get even more upset if they knew that I was pregnant, so I never told them about it. I'd also aborted the child behind their backs. I never expected that they would already know about it.I looked at the faint traces of dried tears on the paper and felt my heart ache painfully for them. I couldn't even imagine how heartbroken they must have been when they found out about it.Adrian stared at the abortion surgery report in disbelief, grasping the edges of the paper so hard that his knuckles turned white."Impossible! How c

I shook Adrian off and retorted with a frown, "No. He's nobody relevant. Just ignore him. Let's go."With that, I ducked straight into Bob's car. However, that infuriated Adrian even more, and he stopped me from closing the car door before yanking me right back out."How dare you say I'm nobody relevant? I am your fiance, Jillian Hanson!"I replied impassively, "No, not anymore. You've already proposed to Cassandra. Why are you coming here and acting like a deranged lunatic instead of planning your wedding with her back home?"But he completely misunderstood me. He grasped at straws as he shot back in agitation, "See? I knew that you still cared about me, Jill! You're just upset that I proposed to Cassandra, aren't you?"Before I could even refute him, he hurriedly continued, "Don't worry! That was all just a sham! I never actually intended to marry her!"You left me without a word, Jill. No calls, no texts—you even refused to see me and blocked me on all your social media accoun

Chapter 10

Upon hearing this, Adrian instinctively shook Cassandra off and hurried to explain himself to me."Jill! Don't listen to her nonsense! You're the only one I've ever cared about!"I listened impassively, not believing a single word he said."I don't care what kind of delusions you've got, but take that troublemaker you've brought with you and get out of my sight!"Adrian seemed stung by my stern expression. His eyes filled with panic as he tried to reach out and hold my hand, but before he could even touch me, Cassandra grabbed his hand and forcefully yanked it right back, her eyes widening incredulously."Dree! What the hell are you saying? What do you mean by saying that you only care about Jillian? Then what do you take me for?"The veins on Adrian's forehead bulged out in anger as he glared at Cassandra icily."Don't you know exactly what you are to me? I've already given you plenty of money, so why the hell did you follow me all the way here? Just get lost! And stop pushing
