No dia em que eu deveria experimentar vestidos de noiva com Charles Jaspier, o líder da máfia que eu amei por sete longos anos, entrei na boutique segurando o exame de gravidez com o coração transbordando de esperança. No entanto, ouvi uma conversa que acabou com tudo. — Casar com a Ellis Olsen foi só uma medida temporária — Charles falou com a maior calma do mundo para o seu confidente mais próximo. — Meu irmão morreu num tiroteio e ela tá carregando o único herdeiro dos Jaspier. Sem um status oficial, nem ela e nem a criança sobreviveriam nessa família. — Todo mundo ia pisar neles — o outro homem comentou, enquanto um charuto repousava entre os dedos de Charles. — A Zoey Qandor não pode ter o título de esposa, mas eu posso dar todo o resto pra ela. Meu amor, meu dinheiro... Só que ela não pode nem sonhar com isso — ele continuou, com a voz gelada e carregada de uma resignação que me deu náuseas. Apertei o exame de gravidez com força, sentindo meu coração virar cinzas ali mesmo. Com a ajuda da minha melhor amiga, tratei de criar uma identidade nova — uma que garantisse que o Charles nunca mais me encontrasse — e simplesmente sumi do mapa, deixando o mundo dele para trás. "Se ele não podia dar uma família de verdade pra mim e pro meu filho, então esse amor, que era todo baseado em mentiras e obrigações, tinha que acabar de uma vez por todas."

When my mom texted me, urging me to go home for a blind date, Charles had just finished with me. His warm breath brushed against the back of my ear, sending a tingling sensation straight to my heart. He wiped away the traces on my skin with gentle care, but when he spoke, his voice was chillingly indifferent. "Since Mrs. Shaw is pushing you, you should head back soon." I thought he was jealous, and a surge of sweetness filled my heart. I quickly grabbed his wrist, telling him my feelings. "Charles, I want to stay with you. I'm not going anywhere!" He froze for a moment, then let out a derisive laugh. One by one, he pried my fingers off. "You didn't actually think I was jealous, did you?" Tucking my damp, messy hair behind my ear, he remained as gentle as ever, but his words were almost cruel. "Rose is pure and innocent. I couldn't bring myself to touch her before marriage, so I used you to satisfy my needs. However, now, our engagement is set. She'll soon be my rightful wife. You're no longer needed."

My mom, Gina Lowry, uses the six million dollars from selling our family hotel to buy my cousin, Harry Sullivan, a villa. The next day, my fiancé of five years, Charles Gomez, dumps me. "Vivian, this is the end for us," Charles says, sitting in the café of a five-star hotel. His tone is so matter-of-fact that it sounds as if he's merely discussing a business deal. The engagement ring in my hand suddenly feels burning hot. I ask, "Why? Our wedding is next month." He stirs his coffee casually and replies, "Your family is known for favoring sons above all else. I looked into it. Your parents sold off the family business and gave all the assets to your cousin, Harry." A chill runs through my whole body as I argue, "That was my parents' decision. It has nothing to do with me!" "Does it really have nothing to do with you?" Charles looks up, his gaze sharp. "You're a daughter of the Sullivan family. In the future, you'll have to keep supporting your useless cousin endlessly. My family won't have any part in such an unreasonable practice. It's simply too embarrassing." In a trembling voice, I plead, "Charles, we've been together for five years. Is what we have less than these worldly considerations?" He lets out a light scoff. "What we have? Vivian, you're 28. How are you still this naive? In our circle, marriage is never just about two people." He stands up and adjusts the cuff of his custom suit. "I hope you find someone more suitable for you." I watch his resolute back as he walks away. Biting my lip hard, I refuse to let the tears fall. My phone chimes as a message from my mom comes in. In the photo, Harry is standing in front of a luxury villa with his arm around the influencer girlfriend he's been dating for three months. He is smiling smugly, like he's at the top of the world. Mom sounds overjoyed in her voice message. "Vivian, look how grand Harry's new home is! Now, he won't have to worry about his marital home when he gets married!" I stare at the photo and laugh through my tears. The moment I leave the family group chat and block all my relatives, my fingertips feel ice-cold. I sneer inwardly, "Since a daughter can never compare to a son in your hearts, then from now on, that precious nephew of yours will be your only family. When he drives you out of the villa bought with your entire savings, I wonder if you'll remember the daughter you abandoned today."
