Chapter 9

I told him I was Piper from Angel's Orphanage.

At that time, he pinky promised me and gave me a beautiful bracelet.

He said, "Wait for me, I'll definitely come back for you!"

But then I waited for a very long time...

The little boy never came to find me as promised.

Zoran's eyes reddened slightly, "Aria, as soon as my eyes were healed, I rushed to the orphanage to find you..."

"But..."

He clenched his fists, "Ivy lied to me! She said she was Piper, that she was the one who saved me that day!"

"I mistakenly thought she was you..."

"Later she said..." Zoran paused, looking remorseful, "She said you stole her design inspiration and snatched her first place."

"She said that when you were at the orphanage, you always bullied her, and got other kids to isolate her..."

"I believed what she said."
