A Love That Was Never Mine
After the video exposing my sister Issa Acostaās plot against me was revealed, my parents and my fiancĆ©, Henry Nolan, stood firmly by my side, making me feel loved and safe.
I confidently handed over all the evidence to them, trusting them to handle it. However, they told me that after Issa was kicked out of the house, she died in a sudden car accident, and I believed them.
That was until five years into my marriage, when I accidentally saw Issaāthe woman who was supposed to be dead. She was holding a little boy, clinging tightly to Henryās hand.
"Henry, if it werenāt for you and my parents, Iām afraid Zoe wouldāve thrown me in prison. Thankfully, my parents destroyed the evidence and even opened a jewelry design studio for me. To avoid suspicion, you even sacrificed your own marriage. Thank you for everything in the past five years.ā
"Think of it as me atoning to Zoe on your behalf. As long as you and Bear are happy, thatās enough for me."
So, what I thought was a happy family was nothing more than a giant lieāa scheme concocted by my parents and Henry.
My parents, my husband, and Issa were the real family, and I? I was just the fool who had been deceived for five long years.
Whether it was family or love, none of it was real, and I donāt want any of it anymore.
