"But that's a lie. The true story is older, simpler. It's one of a family. A family built upon faith, on shared dreams, upon the little, daily acts of love which make up a life. A family systematically and intentionally destroyed." She didn't say the name Davidson. She didn't have to. Her gaze, the slant of her shoulders, the tension in the air, sentenced him. "It was ruined for two things," she continued, her voice sinking, becoming intimate, as though she were confiding in a friend. "Greed. And lust."

With trembling fingers, I tapped the article. The words hit me like punches. They called me a gold digger. A social climber. A manipulative slut who had supposedly dumped one brother for the richer one. They painted me like some heartless opportunist — a woman who had “snared” Andrew for money and status. And then there were the pictures. Old photos of me and Matthew — one of us laughing together at a café, another of his hand casually on my waist. The comments beneath were brutal. She’s disgusting.

Their unwavering loyalty only further fed my ego, bolstering my belief in my infallibility. Yet, amidst the cacophony of adulation, a nagging voice whispered in the depths of my mind.

I wanted to weep or rend fine garments shouting raw fury until marble facades cracked under such entrenched evil. But outward discipline held rigid save white knuckles betraying righteous rage that dared not speak its name fully yet. These painte

Grace waved to her friends as she left with Alpha Nelson; she could see in their eyes that they had thousands of questions to ask her, but she was sure with time they would understand everything perfectly. But what would be her fate when the contract expired? Embarrassed and filled with shame of the humiliation that had happened, Cindy couldn't help but stamp her feet on the ground; she had just brought herself low on the low-class eyes. Just for the mere dirt, a slut, and a gold digger! With the bitterness in her heart, she swallowed hard, her mind searching for a very loud revenge, and she was sure she would exact it. "I hope you are okay. Sorry, I wasn't there on time." Alpha Nelson said

He thought for a moment before continuing. "Their conceit overwhelms me. They think and act like they are the most perfect, dignified, flawless persons in the world. I can't stand such hypocrisy any longer." "One could hardly blame them for that. Your family has an impeccable reputation for hundred of years. Thus far they has never been touched by any scandal or indignity. No wonder they despise me. I was born from misdeed, I live in disgrace, and now I've been soaking in scandal."

To be mocked and ridiculed by the same people he used to trample over? All it took was a couple of setbacks for his already meager flame to be reduced to all but a pathetic wisp of smoke. I had been too good to him. I always believed my sincerity would be rewarded. In the end, all I did was let the two vermin take advantage of me. They were freeloaders through and through. Elena went on with a faint tinge of helplessness in her voice, "As for Miss Elena… She seems quite displeased with the way things have turned out.

"Why? You don't even know if I’m telling the truth. What if I am truly a scandal? What if I am a disgrace? And what if I am lying?" Bonny stopped what he was doing, his hand resting on the edge of the bookshelf. "Because, Oma, a 'disgrace' doesn't run toward a dishwasher's job in a freezing coastal town to protect her child.
