The night my parents were kidnapped, my brother—who happened to be a police officer—chose to go bungee jumping with the fake heiress. I didn't stop him. Instead, I called the police and began preparing the ransom. In my previous life, my brother had forgone the outing to rescue our parents. As a result, the rope snapped during her jump, sending her plummeting into the abyss. Her body was never recovered. He never spoke a word about it afterward. On my birthday, he drugged me and dragged me to that very cliff. "You orchestrated the kidnapping! You'd go this far for their attention? You're nothing but a monster! Lillian is dead. You don't deserve to live either!" When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the night my parents were kidnapped. This time, my brother didn't rush to their rescue. Instead, he ran to the fake heiress. But in the end, he regretted it so much that he nearly lost his mind.

“Let’s make a deal. Papayag ka sa kasal—just for show. Para kay grandpa. Name only, no real marriage. No interference in each other’s lives. Kapag gumaling si Lolo, magdi-divorce tayo. Bilang kapalit, bibigyan kita ng financial compensation.” Napamaang si Nathalie. Compensation? Hindi niya naituloy ang pagtanggi. Naalala niya ang kapatid niyang naghihintay ng pambayad para sa gamutan. Isa pa, kaya naman talaga siya pumunta sa Zamora ay para humiram ng pera. Nakita ni Cedric ang pag-aalinlangan niya. Dagdag pa nito, “As long as you agree, kahit magkano—ikaw ang bahala.” Tahimik na nagbilang si Nathalie ng hininga. Ilang sandali pa, tumango na siya. “Okay, I agree.” Bahagyang ibinaba ni Cedric ang paningin, tinatago ang malamig na ngiti sa kanyang mga mata. ‘Isang babaeng kayang ipagbili ang kasal para sa pera… how cheap,’ naisip niya.

It was our wedding anniversary when my husband's high school sweetheart posted a sonogram picture on her social media, with her captioning a public thank-you to my husband: [Thank you to the man who's been there for me for ten years, and for giving me a son.] The room spun, and anger surged through me as I quickly commented: [So, you're proud of being a homewrecker?] Almost immediately, my husband called, his voice full of rage. "How can you think such disgusting things? All I did was help her with IVF, fulfilling her dream of becoming a single mom. "And by the way, Ruby only needed one try to get pregnant, while you’ve been through three rounds with nothing. Your body is useless!" Just three days ago, he told me he was going abroad for business—ignoring my calls and messages the entire time. I thought he was just busy. However, it turned out he was with her, attending her prenatal checkup. Half an hour later, Ruby posted again, showing off a table full of delicious food.

After eight years of love and six years of swallowing my pride just to keep the marriage alive, I’m finally ready to let go.

While she was busy recovering her breath, he threw his coat on the floor and started unbuttoning his shirt. "W-what are y-you doing?" she asked. Her face paler than paper. "Exactly what married couples do, love." He said dropping the shirt on the floor, His voice so full of viciousness that she almost choked on them. She dragged herself back on the bed sobbing, "no.." He grabbed her legs and pulled her towards himself. He crawled on top of her. He looked into her terrified eyes and whispered, "You make me do terrible things, my dear Rose."
