Chapter 1

Chris Zachman, my fiance who had not shown up for an entire week, finally called.However, he started questioning me as soon as I picked up the call."Clarissa Zander, what's wrong with you? Our families have already decided on the venue and date of our wedding. How can you just call it off?"I was about to speak when he cut me off and continued to vent."How many times have I told you that Ruth's health is poor? Even a cold could easily escalate to something serious. I need to be by her side to ensure her safety at all times. Why do you get jealous so easily? You don't value her life at all!"'Such is life.' I could not help but smile bitterly.Last night, I went out to make wedding arrangements alone. On my way home, I was run over by a speeding truck.I tried calling Chris before I passed out, but all I could hear was the call going to voicemail.He rejected my call twice.It was not until I nearly lost consciousness that a message alert popped up on my bloodied phone scree

Melissa randomly put on a variety show to lighten the mood.We both watched and commented on it."This guy looks awful. His face resembles a monkey. He definitely seems like a comedy actor.""This part is so fake. It feels scripted."However, we soon stopped laughing.Caleb, who was a famous celebrity in the entertainment industry, appeared on screen.Melissa's facial expression turned gloomy. She complained about her bad luck and wanted to change the channel.However, Caleb's voice stopped her from doing so.It was now the melodramatic moment often found in variety shows.Caleb looked passionately into the camera."The thing I regret the most is not having confessed to the girl I liked many years ago—"People around him were asking him questions. Melissa clenched her fists tightly.I patted her arm soothingly. However, I felt sorry for her on the inside.Although Caleb and Melissa were engaged, they had never gone public with their engagement.Caleb had said doing so wou

After two seconds of silence, I could hear him sneering."Clarissa, you're lying through your teeth just so you can get me to treat you better. Was that why you said something like that?" Chris asked.I closed my eyes and let out a bitter chuckle.I knew full well that it would end up like this.I also knew full well that no matter how badly I suffered, Ruth would always be more important to him.Despite knowing all this, I was still a little delusional.Suddenly, I sensed a wave of nausea down my throat. I leaned over the edge of the bed and started vomiting.Chris was oblivious to this. He continued to speak with a tone of superiority."If you want to throw a tantrum, do it on your own. Don't drag Caleb's girlfriend into this. They agreed to meet their parents to discuss and decide on their wedding date. Now, she's nowhere to be found!"Just because you can't manage your own romantic relationship, you decide to bring others down. You even used your own life as an excuse. Don

I froze.I tasted blood in my mouth, and I could also hear a buzzing sound.Ruth screamed and quickly grabbed Chris' hand."Chris, how could you do that? Even if Clarissa was only pretending to be hurt, she only did it because you've neglected her. Didn't we agree on speaking nicely to Clarissa before we came here?"Chris gradually calmed down after hearing her soothing voice.However, he still looked at me with disgust written all over his face."When will you learn to behave like Ruth? While you're acting out of jealousy, she's still being considerate and speaking up for you. You had the nerve to pretend to be sick while falsely accusing her of something she didn't do. Don't you feel ashamed?"I slowly wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and looked blankly at him."You can easily find out if I lied about being in a road accident by checking the medical records or asking the nurse on duty. It's not like you don't have a mouth or a brain. Stop acting like a lunatic!" I

Ruth was not happy about being criticized. She quickly stepped forward to make herself feel seen."Melissa, I know you're good friends with Clarissa, but you shouldn't treat Chris this way! Clarissa failed to show up at the party today. We had no choice but to visit her. We were only concerned!"Besides, we never thought Clarissa would hurt herself just to get Chris' attention."With that, Ruth even pretended to wipe her tears away.Melissa became even more furious when she saw Ruth's pretentious behavior.She stepped forward and directly slapped Ruth across the face."You may like claiming stuff other people have thrown away, but Clarissa couldn't care less! I hope all three of you stay together forever! Stay away from us!" Ruth screamed, her eyes soon filled with tears, "Melissa! How could you hit someone like that? You're Caleb's girlfriend. Don't you know how to control your temper so that you don't affect his reputation?"I really was sick the other day. Caleb and Chris o

Everyone's facial expression changed when they heard this.Ruth could not even continue pretending to be demure and virtuous. She tugged at Chris's sleeve and began speaking anxiously."Chris, you're being evaluated for your performance now. Won't people start talking behind your back if you go on vacation now? I know you care about Clarissa, but you have to think about your own future too!"Clarissa is just throwing a tantrum. I'm sure it's nothing serious. Even if you're genuinely worried, you can hire a professional caregiver to look after her!"Meanwhile, Melissa stood in front of me with her arms wide open like a hen that was protecting its chick."Who do you think you are? Clarissa doesn't even care! She won't marry you, and she doesn't need your company! The best thing you can do for Clarissa right now is to get as far away from her as possible!" She uttered.Chris frowned.I knew him all too well. He definitely seemed annoyed as hell right now.Surprisingly, he did not

Not only did Melissa have no intention of going back, but she even called in the movers and removed all of her belongings from his home.Caleb became furious and detained the movers. He demanded an explanation from Melissa.Melissa showed up and gave him a piece of her mind.The scene was also captured by the paparazzi.Without Melissa working diligently behind the scenes to take measures against the negative media, the video soon appeared on various online platforms.In the video, Melissa rested one hand on her hip while she pointed at Caleb's nose with the other. She yelled at him without a care for her own reputation."Caleb, don't over-estimate your own popularity. I've done everything I could to help maintain your fanbase over the years. 80 percent of your fans like you because of my marketing method!"Do you really think I like seeing that obnoxious look on your face? You need to go through your lines with me just to get your tone right when you act. It's only right if you

Chris' arms appeared tense. There was finally a hint of remorse in his eyes."Clarissa, hear me out. Ruth and I grew up together. She's like my younger sister. I'm used to looking after her. She really was in a bad state the other day-""When is she ever not in a bad state?"I stared into Chris' eyes while making sure to enunciate each word."Ruth said she was sick during my birthday once, and you left me with a group of friends in the house. They all thought I was a joke."When I was sick, Ruth said there was too much dust in her house, and she couldn't breathe. You went to accompany her and left me alone in the ward while I received my IV drip. It was hard for me to even go to the bathroom."There were too many incidents like these. Can you give an example of a time when Ruth wasn't sick and didn't interfere with our lives?"Chris looked down in silence after I brought up the series of questions.It felt good to get my revenge.However, the intoxicating sensation only lasted

Chris had no idea why I suddenly behaved this way.He held me for fear that I would lose my balance and fall off the bed."Clarissa, what's wrong? I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. Don't scare me-"All I did was laugh.I never knew being indifferent, yelling at me, and vilifying me was his way of showing he loved me.I gradually calmed down as Chris continued to pat my back.After wiping my tears away, I reached for my tablet.I pulled up one of the medical reports and calmly handed it to Chris."Chris, if this is love, I think you might be better suited for a robot nanny."I did not know how to swear the way Melissa did.This was the most vicious thing I could ever say.However, Chris' hands began to tremble.His eyes gradually filled with tears.He looked at me in shock."This can't be real. Clarissa, please tell me this isn't real!" He uttered.When he saw the unwavering expression on my face, he dropped to his knees in front of me.He inched forward and leaned aga
