The day Evelina finally became the Harrington family heir as she had always wished.
I was imprisoned in the basement by her sister Scarlett, beaten black and blue.
Scarlett pinned me against the wall, choking me, while she called to threaten her:
"Give up your inheritance now, and I'll return your little childhood sweetheart to you. Otherwise, I'll let him die."
The suffocation was so intense that I couldn't help but plead, "Evelina, call... call the police!"
Before I could finish, I was cut off by the ice-cold voice on the other end: "What makes you think I'd want someone you've used up? Better not let him die too quickly, I should thank you."
She hung up the phone without a shred of mercy.
What awaited me was four hours of brutal beating and violation.
Before losing consciousness, Scarlett had me pressed against the TV.
On the screen, Evelina was tenderly kissing the handsome man beside her, thanking him for his companionship and support.
She didn't know that the one who saved her life and helped her become the heir wasn't him.
It was me.

Born For You, Came For You

Young Master Sterling curved his lips into a smirk, standing beside Evelina and looking at me smugly.


I suppressed my instinct to tremble uncontrollably, and spoke each word deliberately:


"Scarlett, we've long had nothing to do with each other!"


"Ethan, are you still acting now?" Evelina sneered, shaking her head, "You're in too deep. Too bad I'm not who I used to be anymore."


"Ethan, if you don't come back, I'll just have to drag a life down with me," Scarlett said, pouting pitifully.


Everyone probably thought she was joking.


Whose eyes, as if dipped in poison, she was really looking at.


I shook all over, forcing myself to calm down.


Evelina was indeed very drunk. She suddenly, out of character, pressed her hand on my shoulder and pleaded in a low voice by my ear:


My pupils constricted, but I didn't respond to her.


"Ethan, my patience has its limits," Scarlett said impatiently.


I pried Evelina's fingers off one by one.
