Chapter 2

I noticed the exchange of glances between them, and in that moment, it dawned on me how oblivious I had been in my previous life.

Delilah's mother, Vivienne, was originally my mother's best friend, yet she had an affair with my dad while my mother was pregnant.

Vivienne was skilled in the bedroom, captivating my father completely.

In contrast, my mother came from a prestigious background, and my father often complained that she was too reserved and not entertaining enough. This made him even more brazen about mentioning Vivienne, putting her on a pedestal.

The Gevano family became the talk of the town, causing my father to lose face and harbor even more resentment towards my mother and me.

But my mother, being kind-hearted, never laid a hand on the innocent child despite her deep resentment towards Vivienne.

Delilah was clever and charming from a young age, winning people's hearts. My mother, worried that Delilah's status as an illegitimate child might lead to bullying at school, asked me to treat her like a real sister.

My grandfather repeatedly and sternly demanded that my father cut ties with Vivienne, while Delilah would kneel at the doorstep with tears in her eyes, begging my mother for mercy.Finally, this controversy faded away without resolution. Vivienne continued her role as a mistress abroad, while Delilah remained by her mother's side, living with me in our daily routines.

Before my wedding to Casper, Delilah knelt at my feet, begging to come along with me, even if only as a maid to take care of me.

We never anticipated that all of this was actually an elaborately set trap.
