Alors que j'étais enceinte de neuf mois, le premier amour de mon mari est venue s'installer chez nous sous un prétexte quelconque. Chaque fois qu'elle me voyait, elle se portait la poitrine, feignant une profonde tristesse. Mon mari était convaincu que je faisais exprès de montrer ma grossesse pour la provoquer. « Magali est trop fragile pour avoir des enfants ! Et toi, tu te balades tout le temps avec ton ventre bien visible devant elle, tu l'exaspères ! Sans une leçon, tu n'apprendras jamais ! » Puis, il a donné l'ordre qu'on me ferme dans un grenier abandonné depuis longtemps, interdisant à quiconque de m'apporter de la nourriture. J'ai supplié, lui expliquant que l'échographie montrait que les jumeaux que je portais étaient trop gros et que le médecin avait recommandé que je sois admise à l'hôpital immédiatement. Mais il a éclaté de rire, comme si c'était une blague. Sa voix était aussi froide que la glace : « Tu as encore trois jours avant ton terme ! Ne viens pas jouer la victime ! Va dans le grenier et réfléchis à ce que tu as fait ! Voilà le prix à payer pour avoir embêté Magali ! » Les contractions étaient tellement douloureuses que mes ongles se brisaient, mais personne n'est venue m'ouvrir. Mes cris déchirants résonnaient dans le grenier pendant un long moment. Finalement, je suis morte en couches, avec mes deux enfants, dans ce sombre grenier. Trois jours plus tard, mon mari, buvant une soupe qui ne lui plaisait pas, s'est souvenu enfin de moi. Il a dit : « Demande à Jade de venir me préparer une soupe, puis envoie-la présenter des excuses à Magali. Si elle est sincère, elle pourra aller à l'hôpital pour accoucher. » Personne n'a osé lui répondre, car le sang, qui s'était répandu du grenier, avait atteint la deuxième marche du palier…

Ma sœur et moi étions jumelles, et nous souffrions toutes les deux d'une grave maladie rénale. Nous avons enfin attendu deux reins compatibles, et les médecins ont prévu de nous greffer chacune un rein. Mais ma sœur s'est effondrée en larmes dans les bras de mon fiancé, réclamant les deux reins pour elle seule. Je m'y suis opposée, mais mon fiancé m'a enfermée chez moi, et a permis à ma sœur de subir deux greffes. Il m'a attrapé le menton et m'a dit avec froideur : « Tu es malade depuis moins longtemps que ta sœur. Elle veut juste vivre comme une personne normale. Pourquoi es-tu si égoïste ? Tu ne peux pas attendre un autre rein ? » Mais ce qu'il ne savait pas, c'était que je ne pouvais plus attendre. Parce que j'étais mourante.

Then she found out that for the week they will be sharing a luxurious rental with her father's boss: Mr Blackwood, one of the most powerful men in the world who has a reputation for being ruthless, deadly, feared by anything and everything that walks and is infamous for not being particularly fond of women- And she concluded that her summer was officially ruined.

The doors of elite research institutions aren't open to the unknown. But Rick Allen pulled Beth out of nowhere. He poured everything into nurturing her talent and promised her the world. The Allen family's compromise was simple: the Chief Young Scientist had to be Summer Belden—someone from their own social circle. From that day on, the words Rick said to Beth most often were, "Just wait a little longer." He told her to wait when her groundbreaking paper was published under Summer's name in exchange for research funding. He told her to wait again when the research she'd perfected over three years was packaged as Summer's signature work, paving the way to major awards. "The bigger picture comes first," he said. "The next Nobel Prize—I'll make sure it's yours." But when the paper credited to Summer—though written by Beth—was exposed for fabricated data, everyone reached the same conclusion: Beth, as a core member of the project, had tampered with the data to steal the credit. Locked in a glass-walled archive room, Beth looked at Rick standing outside the door. His gaze was ice-cold, full of disappointment. "Why did you touch the data?" he said. "You've ruined everything I've built." She remembered how he once told her, "In this world, yours is the only talent I truly recognize." He had promised, "I'll make sure achievements with your name hang among the stars." Now he stood with the others, judging her. He looked at her the way people look at a ruthless, ambitious fraud. When she was finally released, Beth dug her nails into her palm until blood ran down. This time, she wouldn't wait any longer.
