On the night of my engagement to my boyfriend, Goldie slipped razor blades into my drink, causing my throat to be torn and rendering me unable to speak ever again.
My boyfriend not only refused to hold her accountable, but publicly kissed her, causing everyone to mock me.
In my moment of humiliation, my boyfriend's uncle shielded me behind him, beat my boyfriend into the hospital, and avenged me.

I couldn't help but slap him hard across the face:


"You're still putting on an act even now!"


"You think I don't know that my parents died because of you? You said you wanted to help me, but you had the doctors change my medication!"


"You've ruined any chance I had of recovery. What makes you think I'd just go back with you and let you control me?"


Zoran stared at me in shock, his expression visibly becoming flustered:
