K1ERA

Being adored by one's parents and hoping to achieve something that could bring them happiness, a child sacrificed their carefree personality and chose the path of books and knowledge at an early age. 

Without looking back to see how those they thought were their parents were, in truth, only pushing them from behind.

Esme, a prodigy from an early age, excelled in everything, unlike her sister, who, though adored by both parents, always lagged behind. 

Finally, after saving the company from debts and restoring it to its former glory, Esme looked back at her parents in hope of recognition but...

"You are not even my daughter, you pathetic fool."

"Hehe, Sister, how about I take your fiancé?"

"Um, you see, Esme, I love your sister."

"Tch, insect, how dare you reject checks whenever I, your mother, asked for money!"

Those words lingered in Esme's mind before she lost consciousness and woke up inside a prison.

"What are you doing here, Aron?" Esme looked at a handsome young man seated in a wheelchair, gazing at her with amusement. He was her sole business competitor, and now, he was visiting her in prison.

"Nothing, just came here for a proposal, Miss Esme..."

Let's see what awaits the journey of an heiress who was wrongly accused of being fake, betrayed by her fiancé, and had to seek support from her business rivals.

The Heiress's Comeback

Without another word, he pulled her into a tight embrace, resting his chin on her head. "I really found a treasure."

Esme froze for a moment, her mind racing to catch up with his actions. When he finally pulled back, he pinched her nose lightly and smirked. "You fool! If you had chosen me or our child, I might've actually reconsidered our relationship."

"What?" Esme's confusion deepened, her brows furrowing as she searched his face for answers.

Ray chuckled at her puzzled expression and cupped her face gently. "Let me explain. If you had chosen me or our child, it would mean you could abandon bonds that have been with you for years—relationships built on trust and loyalty—for something new. If you could do that to Helga and Aron, what's stopping you from doing the same to me and our child someday?"

Esme's lips parted in surprise, her stunned gaze fixed on him.
