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

Evelina found the entire world laughable.


When a stack of documents was thrown in front of her, her mind went blank.


It turned out that the messages passed on time and again weren't from the Sterling family.


She looked at the photos of Ethan being beaten in the documents.


She saw him being passed around like an object.


She saw him permanently paralyzed, confined to a wheelchair.


She remembered that "It's none of my business" when she answered Scarlett's call that day.


She recalled how, after sending him to the hospital when he was left homeless, she blindly believed the malicious rumors spread by others, and from then on ignored him, even asking "Who's Ethan?"


She thought back to the engagement party, where she coldly watched as countless people trying to curry favor with her bullied Ethan.
