Chapter 1
When I woke up, the scent of disinferiam filled my nose. I hadn’t died.
I could hear Lily’s voice, sweet but mocking:
“Zane, she’s okay, right? After all the blood she gave me?”
Zane’s voice was soothing. “It’s her honor to donate blood.”
“As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters.”
“But you and she lost your baby.”
“The doctor says shell never be able to have kids again.” Lily’s voice had a touch of malicious satisfaction.
Zane scoffed. “She wasn’t even worthy of beating my child.”
“If she hadn’t seduced me when I veas drunk and made me mistake her for you she never would’ve gotten pregnant.”
But it was clear that it was he who sought me out that night to vent his frustration.
Now, somehow, it was my fault.
Heartbroken, I called the bio–lab of the company that was Parker’s rival.
Tagree to test the drug, but only if, after the trial, you help me leave the Parker family and get medical treatment for my sister.”
That night, a champagne–colored silk dress was left at my bedside, sent by Zan
My phone buzzed.
Zane’s message read, “Wake up and come to the dinner party”
I stared at the message and replied with a simple, “Okay.”
One of the conditions of my marriage to the Parker family was that I would obey Zane unconditionally.
I got up, ignoring the pain in my abdomen, and struggled to change into the dress.
The cold silk clung to my skin, making me shiver.
Dizziness hit me, and I almost collapsed again.
Looking at my reflection in the mirror, my face was pale, my lips bloodless, almost lifeless.
At the extravagant dinner, I felt like an outsider.
Instantly, all eyes were on me.
“So this is Mrs. Parker? She looks a mess.”
“Theard she stole her sister’s fiance. How shameless”
Zane shot me a disgusted glance, his voice cold and bitter.
“Look at you. You’re a disgrace,
I looked up at him and spoke calmly, “I just lost a baby, nearly had all my blood drained out of me. What else would you expect me to look like?”
He sneered and grabbed my wrist harshly.
“Chloe Monroe, stop pretending to be dead!

My body shook uncontrollably, and I hit my lip, staring at him.”

ane’s disgusted gaze pierced through me like a dagger.
No matter how cruel he was, I never imagined he would humiliate me like this
If it weren’t for him, how could I have these sears?
Zane, Lily, and I all attended the same high school.
In our first year,
, when I was being bullied and wanted to die, Zane chased off the people Lily sent to torment me.
That’s when I started secretly liking him.
The year the school lab caught fire, he was trapped inside.
Trushed in without hesitation to save him.
for that. I was burned all over.
In the thick smoke, Zane only noticed the bracelet my mother had left me on my wrist.
But Lily wanted that bracelet.
Later, when Zane saw Lily wearing my mother’s bracelet, he assumed she was the one who had saved him.
