chapter 1: The Outcast

Bethany Cullen walked into the Cullen family villa. She looked completely tattered; the sleeve of her dress was torn, and her footsteps were shaky and weak.Stephen Cullen was already sitting in the living room. The moment he spotted her, he stood up, his face burning with anger. Beside him stood his wife, Lilian Cullen, and her half-sister, Vivian Cullen, who had a hidden smile on her lips.Standing right next to Vivian was Francis Tucker, Bethany’s fiancé."Where did you sleep last night?" Vivian asked, her eyes full of fake innocence. She looked sincerely concerned for her sister. "When I went to search for you, you were not in your hotel room. Could it be that you slept with a man?"The moment Stephen heard this, his face turned bright red with rage. He raised his heavy hand and slapped Bethany hard across the face.SMACK.Bethany's face turned sideways from the force of the blow. She slowly touched her burning cheek and let out a cold, sarcastic laugh."How could I have a daught

Chapter 2:Six years later.

Six years later, at the international airport of Maybach City. A beautiful young woman stepped out of the terminal. Walking right by her side were three children, two boys and a girl. The little girl looked incredibly cute and lovely, while the two boys looked remarkably handsome, moving with the poise of little models. Passersby instantly paused, pulling out their phones to take pictures of the stunning woman and her charming children. No one could take their eyes off them. The entire crowd was staring. Meanwhile, a gorgeous young woman with curly hair and dark eyes stood near the pickup lane outside. She was looking eagerly at the entrance, searching the crowd. The moment her eyes spotted the beautiful woman and her three children, she rushed forward, letting out a long sigh of relief. "My family has finally arrived!" Soraye exclaimed, her face beaming with a smile. "You didn't have to come all the way here just to pick us up," Bethany said, a smile lighting up her f

Chapter 3: David Morgan

"Of course, your rooms will be designed exactly how you want them," Bethany assured them, patting both boys on the cheeks. "How about some noodles and rice?" Soraye asked as she came out of the kitchen. "That sounds wonderful," Bethany replied. "I'm sure the kids are starving. I'll help you in the kitchen." Soon, they were all gathered around the dining table, enjoying their meal. "Mommy's cooking has really improved today," Alex commented. "Mommy is usually terrible at cooking," Derrick added. Bethany put on a serious expression and glared at her sons. "You boys really know how to make fun of your mother, don't you?" However, she wasn't truly annoyed. After everything she had endured, seeing her children happy was enough to make her heart feel full. "I made the food; your mom just helped out a little," Soraye said with a laugh as they sat at the dinner table. Alex had a knowing expression on his face. Soraye looked at the triplets and teased, "Don't you kids

Chapter 4 : A Familiar Feeling

A man walked into the room. He possessed an incredibly imposing, dominant aura and a breathtakingly handsome face. However, his expression was completely cold and indifferent. His piercing dark eyes carried such intense authority that anyone who stared into them for too long would instantly shiver in fear. His name was Jonathan Mason—the most ruthless billionaire bachelor in Maybach City and the CEO of the Mason Corporation. Jonathan froze in his tracks. His eyes locked onto the intimate scene before him. David Morgan and a young woman who looked like an ethereal fairy were standing dangerously close, looking as if they were right in the middle of a kiss. Jonathan’s brow furrowed. Had he just interrupted his best friend's private business? Bethany quickly pushed David away, stepping back as her heart hammered against her ribs. When she recovered from the initial shock, she turned her head to look directly at the intruder. Her breath caught in her throat. What the... Beth

Chapter 5: Fear and Hatred

By the evening, the office began to empty. Bethany packed up her sketches, slung her designer handbag over her shoulder, and walked out of the Morgan Enterprises skyscraper. She stood gracefully at the edge of the bustling sidewalk, waiting for the private ride-share car she had ordered. A sleek luxury sports car smoothly pulled up right in front of her. The window rolled down, and David’s handsome, smiling face appeared. "Bethany, get in," David said, leaning across the passenger seat to open the door for her. "I'll drop you off at home." Bethany looked at the luxury car and shook her head. "It's really not appropriate, Mr. Morgan," Bethany declined his offer, keeping her tone strictly professional. "You are the president of the company, and it would cause unnecessary rumors among the staff if they saw us leaving together. I already called a car, so you don't have to worry." But David wouldn't take no for an answer. He insisted, his grip tightening on the steering wheel as h
