The day before the piano competition finals, my boyfriend deliberately locked me on the rooftop to help his childhood friend win. He stared at me intently, his voice low and steady. "You'll have plenty more chances. Can't you just let her have this one?" Later, to secure her spot in the orchestra, he went so far as to break my fingers with his own hands. I confronted him in anger, demanding to know why he would do this when we were supposed to be in a relationship. He looked at me solemnly and said, "Susan, Miranda's mother saved me all those years ago, and now I have to fulfill this wish for her." What he didn't understand was that for me, losing the use of my hands felt like losing my very life. After I made the decision to stop loving him, he shattered his own hand, hoping to get my forgiveness.

Once again, I saw Miranda standing outside the hospital room.She was wearing a pair of sunglasses and stormed toward me with a fiery expression.Miranda raised her hand high, ready to slap me across the face.But before her hand could make contact, I grabbed her wrist tightly.Miranda was clearly taken aback by my resistance, and her face twisted in frustration. "It's all your fault, you filthy woman! You've ruined Ryan!"I shot back coldly, "Why don't you go ask Ryan how he ended up like this?""What are you—" Miranda glared at me with fury, her mouth open as though she had more to say."Enough!" At some point, Ryan had come up behind us. "I did this to myself."Miranda's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is that possible?" she muttered, almost to herself.Ryan looked exhausted, his voice weary as he spoke, "Miranda, you've gotten what you wanted. What more is there to be unhappy about?"Miranda bit down on her lip, her face breaking as she looked at Ryan, her voice trembling

When the call connected, there was silence on the other end. I frowned slightly. "Hello? Is there something you need?" The silence stretched on, and just as I was starting to get impatient, a familiar voice finally came through the phone. "Susan."I immediately realized who it was—Ryan. After muttering a quick "I'm sorry," Ryan hung up the phone without another word. The next day, after finishing work, I returned to my small apartment and was startled to see a disheveled figure standing at the door. It had been a long time since I last saw him. Ryan's hair was messy, his face was weary, and he no longer had that confident, lively aura he used to carry with him. When he saw me, his eyes lit up. "Susan, I finally found you." But all I could manage was a cold, distant tone. "How did you find me here?" The light in Ryan's eyes immediately flickered out. "I'm sorry, Susan," he said urgently, his voice tinged with a subtle hint of emotion. "I was wrong before. But after

I never expected it, but despite my efforts to avoid it, the Menzies still wouldn't let me go.The woman in front of me, impeccably made up and dressed in elegance, stirred her coffee slowly, her eyes fixed on me with a look of utter disdain."Name your price, Ms. Dawson. Tell me, how much will it take for you to leave my son?" she said with a cold, measured tone."Mrs. Menzie, if I recall correctly, I've already broken up with your son. I'm not sure what more you want from me," I replied, keeping my voice calm as I studied her. She seemed to think she was above everyone else, her gaze full of disdain.There she was, Diana Menzie—Ryan's mother. This wasn't our first meeting. She had confronted me once before. "You're the one who's been hanging around Ryan shamelessly? Let me make this clear—Miranda is the one we've chosen as Ryan's wife. Her mother saved his life," she had sneered at me back then.Back then, I loved Ryan so deeply that I hadn't even considered Diana's threats se

If I could, I wouldn't want to go back to the house I once shared with Ryan. But I still had a lot of things there, including a photo of my mother and me. So, I had no choice but to go back and collect them. I called a moving company and directed them as they carefully packed up my belongings, one by one. To my surprise, Ryan showed up just as I was finishing. The moment he saw the scene, he understood immediately. His face darkened, and he rushed over to me, his voice sharp. "Susan, what do you think you're doing?" I looked him in the eye and replied coolly, "I'm moving out. Can't you tell?" Ryan took a deep breath, his voice low as he asked, "Are you sure you want to leave?" I nodded without hesitation. "Yes." He stared at me for a moment before a sneer appeared on his face. "Enough, Susan. It's time you stopped throwing a tantrum." Ryan was always so arrogant, so sure of himself. He seemed to think that no matter what he did to me, I would come crawling back

Ryan's eyes flickered with surprise. "Susan, what did you say?""I don't need your apology," I said, closing my eyes and trying to suppress the anger building up inside me. I refused to look at him. "If you really feel that way, let's just break up. And please, don't bring Miranda here to bother me again."As soon as I finished speaking, Ryan stormed up to me, stopping just in front of the bed. "I won't allow it! Susan, I won't let you break up with me!"I almost laughed. What right did Ryan have to stand there so self-righteously, claiming he wouldn't allow me to break up with him?At that moment, Miranda suddenly spoke up. "Susan, please don't misunderstand. Don't let me get between you and Ryan."Ryan's face was conflicted, but when he met my cold gaze, he sighed and spoke softly, "Miranda, why don't you step out for a bit?"The moment Ryan spoke, Miranda's eyes darkened with a hint of resentment.Before I could react, she put her hand over her chest and staggered back a few

The faint smell of disinfectant seeped into my nostrils as I lay in the hospital bed. I furrowed my brow and instinctively glanced at the clock. By now, the orchestra's selection process should have been long over. I quietly rested against the bed, my gaze drifting to a group of nurses chatting excitedly. "Hey, did you hear that Mr. Fraiche is leading the orchestra's selection here?" "Yeah, I just saw the news. Miranda made it into the orchestra and became Mr. Fraiche's student. She's so impressive." "She really is. Not only is she beautiful and plays the piano wonderfully, but she also has this childhood sweetheart, the heir of Menzie Corporation. They've grown up together. During her speech earlier, she even mentioned that boyfriend of hers!" "Wow, sounds like something out of a fairy tale!" The two nurses laughed as they walked out of the room. I watched them leave, and the doctor's helpless sigh echoed in my mind. "What a shame. You're such a beautiful young wom

Ryan and I met during college.It was a rainy day, and I was lost in thought while crossing the street when he reached out and pulled me back just in time to avoid being hit by a car.I looked up, shaken, and found myself staring at his handsome, aloof face.It was because of his life-saving act that I found myself falling for him, helplessly.After much persistence on my part, Ryan agreed to date me.But as we got closer, I started noticing something unsettling—there seemed to be someone more important to him than me.Her name was Miranda, and she had grown up alongside Ryan.Every time Miranda called, Ryan would drop everything and rush to her side.He even went so far as to lock me on the rooftop the night before the final round of a piano competition for her sake.That night, I had been locked out for hours, missing the competition and ending up with a fever that spiked to 104°F. Meanwhile, Miranda won first place.The next day, Ryan had casually explained that his action

Ryan raised the chair in his hands, and with a swift motion, brought it down on me, his eyes cold as they met mine. I was paralyzed by the fear in my eyes, unable to move."Ah!" The pain shot through me like a jolt of electricity, and I couldn't contain the blood-curdling scream that escaped my lips.My fingers were crushed instantly, mangled and bleeding, as I stared at them in disbelief. The physical pain, sharp and intense, barely compared to the crushing weight in my chest.It was over. Everything was ruined.My hands, my mother's dreams—everything was shattered in that single moment.Tears streamed down my face in heavy, relentless drops.Ryan rushed toward me, pulling me into an embrace. I leaned silently into his broad, warm chest, but the words that came from above were as cold as ice. "I'm sorry, Susan. Please, forgive me just this once. I know this isn't fair to you. But Miranda's mother died saving me. Once she makes it into the orchestra, I'll have repaid my debt.""

"Please, Ryan, don't hurt my hands!" Tears streamed down my face as I twisted and struggled, desperately shaking my head. In that moment, I had no dignity left, begging Ryan to show me mercy. Tomorrow was the day the orchestra would be selecting new members. If I performed well, I could not only join the prestigious orchestra but also become a model for the piano world, a student of the renowned Johannes Fraiche. For the past few days, I had tirelessly practiced in the piano room, hoping to seize this once-in-four-year opportunity. This was not just my dream—it was the dream my late mother had for me.
