When I report at Brookley College, I'm told that Deborah Larson has already completed the enrolment. She's also moved into the villa my father bought for me. She and my fiancé have already become a renowned loving couple on campus. I feel the calluses on my fingers from years of playing the guitar. This is so creepy. If she's Deborah Larson, then who am I? And is this contemptuous man before me really my fiancé?
View MoreDebra scoffed and shouted back, "Stop playing the victim! If it hadn't been for you, would I have ended up in this miserable state? Have some shame, you freeloader!"Isaiah was enraged by her words. His gaze darkened, and his chest heaved with anger.In his fury, he stormed back to his car, slammed on the accelerator, and charged toward her. Debra was knocked to the ground. Blood pooled around her.Isaiah's car lost control and veered into the guardrail. Then, he was immediately arrested by the police.Debra's life ended during the ambulance ride to the hospital, while Isaiah had completely ruined his future—he was sentenced to prison for intentional harm.And so the farcical identity fraud concluded with both of them paying the price.After this absurd drama, I was finally able to officially attend college. Though it was more than half a year later than I'd planned, everything gradually started to fall into place.Dad began to reduce his business commitments back home and plann
It turned out that this Isaiah was just a pretty boy who mingled in the circles of international students, living off the relationships he formed with wealthy women.He would often pretend to have an impressive background to gain others' trust. Thus, when Debra arrived in Marbleton and settled into a luxurious villa, it naturally caught his attention.Once he learned that she was searching for a fiancé with the same name as his, he saw it as a golden opportunity. He thought that she was naive and easy to deceive. Even if everything came crashing down one day, he could claim that he hadn't lied. After all, Isaiah Joubert was his real name.So, he deliberately set up a "chance encounter" and approached Debra.Not daring to investigate Isaiah's real identity, Debra had simply gone along with it since she knew that she was living a lie and had no grounds to ask any questions.For over half a year, they both played their parts, thinking they had gotten what they wanted out of the situa
Failing to convince Dad, Debra turned to me with a look of desperation in her eyes."Debbie, we grew up together. Please, you have to help me! I was once... I was your..."I looked at the familiar face I once knew, but my eyes held no pity.I responded indifferently, "Debra, whatever bond we shared was long gone the moment you betrayed it. You knew exactly what you were doing and never once considered showing mercy."Her face fell, and the plea in her eyes instantly morphed into anger.Hatred seeped into her voice as she spat out, "Why? Why do you get everything so effortlessly, while I don't? It's all the things you didn't want, so why can't I have them? I'm just—""You're just a thief and an imposter," I cut her off. "You took what didn't belong to you, and now you think you're justified?"Debra's face twisted in fury, and her emotions spiraled out of control as her voice became shrill and desperate."You've been pampered your whole life! You never needed to care about anythi
Dad stood tall and unmoved. "Call the lawyer and the police. This kind of fraud must be dealt with according to the law," he ordered his men curtly.Not long after, the police and lawyer arrived, and solemn air filled the villa.Just as the officers were going to take the fake Deborah away, she started begging again. "Mr. Larson, please, for my mom's sake, could you spare me? I swear I didn't mean any harm."Dad's brows furrowed slightly. "Who is your mother?"She hesitated, her voice barely audible as she said, "Kate Carter."The name made me stop in my tracks while a familiar figure surfaced in my memory. I scrutinized the fake Deborah's face more closely and pieced together her features.And then it hit me. She was Debra Carter, my nanny's daughter.After I was born, Mom's health deteriorated. Kate, her caregiver, had been by her side for years.Mom had always treated Kate kindly, and when she learned Kate had a daughter about my age who lacked proper care, she'd suggested b
The man at the doorway was tall and clad in a dark suit. His expression was solemn, and every gesture exuded a sense of authority.He cast a cold, sweeping gaze around the room, stopping on Isaiah's hand."Let her go."Isaiah was stunned, and his grip loosened instinctively. The next second, he stared at the man in suspicion. "Who are you? What gives you the right to interfere?"The man's face turned gloomier before he spoke again. "I am Richard Larson."Isaiah's eyes widened in astonishment. Then, as recognition dawned on him, he said in a mix of nervousness and surprise, "You're Debbie's father?"He immediately put on a smile and hurried to explain, "Mr. Larson, you've come just in time. Debbie's being impersonated. This woman who keeps pretending to be her and trying to infiltrate our home. I caught her for you! Look, here she is!"As Isaiah spoke, he shoved me forward toward Dad. His face was filled with self-satisfaction, as if awaiting praise for his actions.Dad gave me
She chuckled dryly and said, "Alright… I'll go get some water for everyone."With that, she turned and headed toward the kitchen.I was about to stop her, but the others around me smiled and nodded eagerly. "Sure, thank you!"I snorted inwardly, thinking she wouldn't escape easily.It wasn't long before the sound of shattering glass echoed from the kitchen, followed by a startled cry from the fake Deborah.Everyone turned to see her clutching her finger with an apologetic expression."I'm so sorry, but… I don't think I'll be able to play today."I immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand. A thin cut ran along her finger, with fresh blood trickling out."What are the odds of getting hurt now? Is this an excuse to avoid playing for everyone?"The crowd exchanged uncertain glances, doubt flickering in their eyes.Someone murmured, "Yeah, why now of all times…"Just then, Isaiah came rushing down the stairs. His face was stormy as he pushed past me and asked worriedly, "
"Deborah Larson has already enrolled."I froze for a moment and said, "No way! This is my acceptance letter!""That letter was sent out over six months ago. If it was yours, why are you only showing up now?"I gripped the letter tighter as anger rose in my gut.When Mom had passed away, Dad had insisted I enroll at Brookley College. And as if that hadn't been enough, he'd arranged my marriage with some guy I'd never met.After we had a huge argument, I'd been escorted onto a plane by his bodyguards.The moment I'd stepped off that plane, I'd decided to take control of my own life. Before starting college, I'd decided to spend six months traveling the world.However, Dad had suddenly called the day before and said he was coming to see me.I'd panicked. I'd known there was no use hiding anymore, so I'd rushed to the campus to sort out my enrollment. But who knew this would be the outcome?Unable to complete the paperwork, I had no choice but to head to the villa Dad had purchase
