Bitter Ruin

The day before the World Piano Masters Competition, I was kidnapped, and my tendons were deliberately severed. Endorsements were swiftly terminated. Advertisers, once eager to work with me, turned instead to my rival. Crushed under the weight of betrayal and despair, I spiraled into a deep depression. Just when I was at my lowest, Carl Manos appeared. He not only paid off all my breach-of-contract penalties but also sought out top specialists to treat my damaged hand. Later, he knelt on one knee and solemnly proposed. I saw him as my salvation, the light that pierced through my darkness. Without hesitation, I let Carl slip the ring onto my finger. Two years later, my hand had fully recovered. I rushed to the study, eager to share the good news, only to overhear a chilling conversation. "Carl, if you hadn't arranged for someone to sever Reily's tendons, my sister never would've had the chance to win the competition and land those endorsements. I'll never forget what you did for us." There was a pause. Then came Carl's indifferent reply, "I simply helped Lucy achieve her dream. Breaking a woman's tendons in exchange for that is nothing." So this was the truth. The marriage I took such pride in… was nothing but a cold, calculated nightmare. Since that was the case, there was nothing left for me here. It was time to leave.

As a vampire, I once saved a stray wolf pup, my mortal enemy, from the streets. Little did I know that ten years later, he would lead his pack of wolves to destroy my clan and trap me in an ancient castle. Seeing my cold demeanor, he brought in a human woman as a substitute. The substitute, arrogant from her favoritism, treated me like a mere imitation, mocking me as though I was a seductress trying to mimic her appearance. She slashed my face with silverware, crushed my limbs with her boots, and then presented my bloodied form to Alex. "Honey, that wretched woman is using black magic to impersonate me. Look, she even has the same birthmark on her face!"
