Chapter 1

Heather's POVMy hands trembled so badly that I could barely hold my phone. It wasn't until the phone vibrated that I snapped out of my daze. Every message had been deleted.The doctor studied my test results, his frown deepening at the alarming numbers. "Your cognitive function has already been damaged. The side effects of this medication are practically toxic. Does your family even care about your well-being?"I clenched my fists, my throat tightening until I couldn't get a single word out. When I remained silent, the doctor sighed. "Stop taking the medication immediately. The nerve damage is irreversible."I thanked him, grabbed my test results, and practically fled the examination room. I leaned against the wall, my strength giving out. A chill swept through me, as though I'd been plunged into ice water.Ever since my diagnosis, Mom had taken early retirement to look after my mental health. My best friend, Sara Lawson, had given up an annual bonus worth hundreds of thousands

Chapter 2

Heather's POVTheodore stiffened. Only after making sure I was nowhere in sight did he speak. "Why would you ask that? My project wraps up tomorrow. How about I make it up to you when I get home?"I dug my nails into my palm, struggling to keep my voice steady. "If you're lying to me, we're over."His voice remained as gentle as ever. "Heather, don't say things like that. We promised we'd spend the rest of our lives together."He sounded so sincere. There had been a time when I'd been so captivated by that tenderness that I couldn't imagine life without him.During my senior year of college, Theodore had sent me a breakup text and disappeared. I'd felt as though someone had ripped my soul out.Then, three months later, he'd appeared before me, so thin that he was barely recognizable. "You're the only woman I want. How could I ever leave you?"Only then did I learn that his family had been pressuring him into an arranged marriage. He'd spent those three months fighting them for m

Heather's POV"Heather!" Celeste stood in the doorway, her eyes red and her face pale. "Mom had nothing to do with it. I was the one who planned the accident."Theodore instinctively rushed forward and reached out to cover her mouth. But she shoved his hand away, tears streaming from her reddened eyes."Heather, I'm sorry. Back then, when you told me you were coming to see Theodore, I got jealous. I didn't want you interfering with our relationship. But I never expected the brakes to fail. I made a terrible mistake. You can punish me however you want."Tears streamed down my face as I let out a bitter laugh at the absurdity of it all. "Fine. Then turn yourself in."No one seemed to have expected me to take things that far. Even Celeste froze.Just as I pulled out my phone to dial 911, Sara shoved me, her eyes red with anger. "Heather, Celeste had spent three years suffering because she couldn't openly be with the man she loves! And now she's pregnant! Do you really have to take t

Chapter 4

Heather's POVI also uploaded the security footage from Mom's house.The internet erupted in outrage. People called Celeste a murderer, condemned her for betraying her own sister, and branded her a shameless, two-faced liar.Yet, neither Mom nor Theodore said a single word in response.By the time I realized something was wrong, several gossip accounts had suddenly begun posting photos of me working at a nightclub during college, almost as if they'd coordinated the whole thing.With trembling hands, I opened the security footage I'd uploaded, only to discover that it had somehow been replaced with clips of me repeatedly mistaking other men for my husband.Moments later, a hashtag claiming I'd developed a mental illness after being abused by wealthy men who paid for my time shot to the top of the trending charts.Mom posted a public apology, claiming she'd failed to raise her daughter properly.Half an hour later, Theodore published photos of two marriage certificates.The capt

Third-Person POVAt the stranger's remark, everyone rushed toward the emergency stretcher, desperate to find out whether the woman was Heather.The doctor found himself trapped behind a wall of people, unable to get through. A large group of security guards hurried over to clear the crowd."Anyone who continues obstructing the medical staff will be reported to the police!"From a distance, Theodore could see the woman lying on the stretcher, covered in blood. His heart lurched, and for a moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent.He was about to step forward for a closer look when the crowd finally began to disperse."Come on, everyone, move along. It's not her. Let the poor girl get the treatment she needs," someone said wearily.Theodore immediately breathed a sigh of relief.Kalina approached and patted him on the shoulder. "Theodore, the doctor said that Celeste is awake. I know Heather. She's probably off somewhere throwing a tantrum and deliberately making sure we ca

Chapter 6

Third-Person POVThe house was spotless. Nothing had changed, yet somehow, everything felt different. The familiar scent that always put him at ease was gone.Theodore searched every room, but Heather was nowhere to be found. Even her luggage had disappeared.A terrifying possibility crept into his mind. He stood frozen, his ears ringing. Never once had he imagined that Heather might leave him someday. Not even for a moment.Theodore rushed out of the house again. "Find out where Heather is.""Mr. Vane, the last place Ms. Ash… Mrs. Vane was seen was in an alley near the airport."The airport. An alley. Each word filled Theodore with a growing sense of dread. He slammed his foot on the accelerator, barely noticing that his hands and feet were trembling.When he arrived, he made his way deeper into the alley. The first things he saw were a large pool of blood and several scraps of torn fabric.A distinct trail of blood stretched from the south end of the alley to the north, as th

Chapter 7

Third Person POVTheodore stood outside the door, his hands trembling uncontrollably at his sides.He'd never seen this side of Celeste before. In his eyes, she'd always been delicate, sensitive, and insecure. But the woman in that room was threatening people, intimidating them, and even paying them to carry out her schemes.The man seemed to reach his breaking point. He kicked over a chair in frustration. "Celeste, you've got some nerve! I'm the one who falsified that brake failure report for you back then, and this is how you repay me?"His handsome face twisted with anger. He seized both her wrists, pinned them above her head, and leaned over her. "If you don't have the money, then you'll have to pay me another way."Celeste froze before struggling desperately against his grip. "Are you out of your mind? I'm pregnant! Do you want to hurt the baby?""What's there to worry about? Does Theodore even know the baby's not his? You slept with him all those times and never got pregnan

Chapter 8

Heather's POVMy throat felt painfully dry. "Thanks for everything."Adrian Crain paused while reviewing my medical records, then quickly returned to his usual cool, unapproachable demeanor. "Heather, I liked you better when you had some fight in you. I never thought you'd end up in such a mess after breaking up with me."My eyes felt painfully dry. I blinked hard twice, wanting to cry, but no tears came.I sniffled, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. "Adrian, if you keep talking like that, I'm leaving. And besides, we only dated for a week. That hardly counts as a breakup."Adrian came from a long line of doctors, but he'd been quite the rebel. He'd wanted to go into finance and start his own company instead of following in his family's footsteps.His grandfather was worried that Adrian would squander the family fortune, so he gave him an ultimatum. If he wanted to go into business, he'd have to secure solid financial backing first.That meant either finding investors or mar

Chapter 9

Heather's POVI bent down at once, a smile spreading across my face as I opened my arms and caught the two children. I kissed their little cheeks. "My sweethearts."Theodore went deathly pale. He stood frozen, his fingers trembling as he stared at the children in my arms. "You... You have kids? You gave birth to them?"I held my twins close, not even bothering to look up at him. "Of course. They're mine and my husband's.""Your husband? Who is he?" His gaze suddenly dropped to my stomach. "But I thought... you couldn't get pregnant."He was right. I hadn't been able to. But Adrian had spent two years researching my condition, and he'd finally found a way to treat it."The man who owns this estate," I replied. "You put me through hell, Theodore. Someone else helped me find my way out."He stumbled back a few steps, his bloodshot eyes wide with disbelief. Those few simple words were enough to crush whatever hope he'd still been clinging to.This secluded estate, with its sprawlin
