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

She carried me all the way to the hotel room, tossing me onto the bed without a shred of tenderness.


I've been trapped in the same nightmare countless times.


Sickening gazes roaming up and down my body.


The middle-aged woman telling the director she's decided to adopt me.


The director's face lit up with delight as he winked at me, hinting for me to agree.


Then the world plunged into darkness, and I couldn't move.


When the middle-aged woman said she wanted to adopt me.


The young girl carried me on her back as we scaled the orphanage wall, running far before stopping.


Evelina, who hadn't yet taken on the surname "Harrington", held me close and softly comforted me:


"Ethan, I won't let anyone bully you ever again."
