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

Before Ray could finish, Ryan cut him off. His voice was steady, but there was an undeniable weight behind his words.

"That she chose to protect us," Ryan said, meeting Ray's burning gaze. "That she didn't care about herself. That she transferred her power to a child she believed could handle it, a child she thought had the strongest will to protect her."

Ray's hand froze mid-air, his grip on Ryan's collar loosening as his brother's words echoed in his mind. His breath hitched, his heart pounding as realization hit him like a crashing wave.

Yes, Esme had said it herself—the power would only be transferred to the child she had the strongest desire to protect. But in his blinding rage, he hadn't truly listened. He had been so consumed by his emotions that he had ignored the truth right in front of him.

Ryan's voice broke through his spiraling thoughts again.
