Much Ado About Nothing

Damien y su exesposa se divorciaron hace cinco años, y luego él se casó conmigo. Cuando nos casamos, él tenía una hija adoptiva de 13 años llamada Lily. Después de nuestro matrimonio, Damien me trató excepcionalmente bien y yo siempre traté a Lily como si fuera mi propia hija; incluso cuando en ocasiones ella mostraba hostilidad hacia mí, no me importaba. Eso es normal en una chica adolescente, después de todo. Hasta que mi padre fue accidentalmente atropellado por un coche y quedó en estado vegetativo. Fue allí que, por casualidad, escuché una conversación entre Damien y su asistente. —Jefe, no lo entiendo. ¿Por qué bloquear la craneotomía? —preguntó el asistente, sonando confundido—. Los médicos dicen que hay una alta probabilidad de que él pueda recuperarse. ¿Por qué insiste en un tratamiento conservador? —Él no puede despertar —la voz de Damien estaba contenida por el dolor—. Vio el rostro de Lily. Me cubrí la boca con la mano, clavando las uñas profundamente en mi carne. Lily es la hija adoptiva de Damien y de su difunta exesposa, Sarah. Sarah murió salvando a Damien, por lo que él siempre ha tratado a Lily con una mezcla de culpa y total indulgencia. Damien continuó, con un tono increíblemente conflictivo: —¡Pero Lily no lo hizo a propósito! Solo tiene trece años… Si obtiene antecedentes penales, su vida se acabará. El único deseo de Sarah antes de morir fue que yo cuidara de Lily y la viera crecer sana y salva. No puedo renunciar a ella. El asistente guardó silencio durante unos segundos. —¿Y qué hay de su esposa? —Voy a compensarla por esto —la voz de Damien se suavizó—. Le proporcionaré la vida más próspera y conseguiré la sala privada más grande junto con los mejores cuidadores para su padre, quien sufrió el accidente automovilístico. No me importa cuánto cueste. Mi corazón se hundió por completo. ¿Solo porque te sientes culpable con Sarah y Lily vas a sacrificar a mi padre? Con las manos temblorosas, guardé la grabación que tomé y le pedí a mi abogado que preparara los papeles del divorcio. Sin embargo, cuando desaparecí por completo de su vida, el una vez poderoso CEO se volvió loco.

The aloof CEO and his childhood sweetheart bring the tragic novel's female lead to an orphanage to adopt a child. All the children pounce on the childhood sweetheart, saying, "Mommy, pick me! Pick me!" The viewers' comments come flooding in. "She can't birth her own child, and now even the orphans don't want her. The tragic female lead is truly pitiful, humiliated by both her husband and his childhood sweetheart!" "The childhood sweetheart keeps winning—spoiled by the CEO, and the orphans scramble to call her 'Mom.' The female lead is nothing but a piece of decor." "It's not tragic enough! Make her even more miserable! It's even better if she cries on the spot so that later, when the CEO recalls this scene, he'll have to work double time to win his wife back!" I glare at the comments, feeling so mad that my short legs push me forward, landing me right in front of the ignored female lead. I tug at her sleeve. "Missy, can you make stew?" The female lead freezes up. "I… I can." My eyes light up with joy. "That's it then! That's exactly what I love. I'll go with you!"

In the quiet, affluent suburb of Ashford Grove outside Minneapolis, power wears philanthropy like perfume. Emily Hart grew up believing her mother died in an accident tied to a wealthy family’s private gathering. Fifteen years later, armed with letters written before her mother’s death, Emily returns to Minnesota determined to uncover the truth behind the Richardson empire — a dynasty known for charity, influence, and untouchable prestige.

In a city that survives through reputation and silence, what happens when the shadow is finally named?

Damien and his ex-wife got divorced five years ago, and then he married me. When I married him, he had a 13-year-old adopted daughter named Lily. After our marriage, Damien treated me exceptionally well and I always treated Lily like my own daughter, even when she occasionally showed hostility towards me, I didn't mind. That's normal for a teenage girl. Until my father was accidentally hit by a car and left in a vegetative state, I accidentally overheard a conversation between Damien and his assistant. "Boss, I don't get it. Why block the craniotomy?" the assistant asked, sounding confused. "The doctors say there’s a high chance he could recover. Why are you insisting on conservative treatment?" "He can't wake up," Damien’s voice was suppressed with pain. "He saw Lily's face." I clamped my hand over my mouth, my fingernails digging deep into my flesh. Lily is the adopted daughter of Damien and his late ex-wife, Sarah. Sarah died saving Damien, so he has always treated Lily with a mix of guilt and utter indulgence. Damien continued, his tone incredibly conflicted. " But Lily didn't do it on purpose! She is only thirteen... If she gets a criminal record, her life is over. Sarah’s only dying wish was for me to take care of Lily and see her grow up safe and sound. I can't give up on her." The assistant fell silent for a few seconds. "And what about your wife?" "I’ll make it up to her," Damien’s voice softened. "I’ll provide her with the most prosperous life, and secure the largest private ward along with the best caregivers for her father who’s suffered from the car accident. I don’t care how much it costs." My heart sank completely. Just because you feel guilty towards Sarah and Lily, you're going to sacrifice my father? With trembling hands, I saved the recording and had my lawyer prepare the divorce papers. But when I completely disappeared, the once powerful CEO went mad.
