The day of my dance performance, I was in a terrible car accident. I became wheelchair-bound.
My rival, Melody, took my place and cruelly taunted me.
"A cripple dares to compete with me?"
When I fell into depression and lost my will to live, it was my boyfriend Brent who stayed by my side, constantly encouraging me to keep going.
He not only hired a private doctor to treat me, but also personally prepared medicine and accompanied me to rehab every day. I thought he was a ray of light in my dark life.
Until the third year of our marriage, I overheard his conversation with the doctor.
"Mr. Shaw, Miss Stone's rehab motivation has been getting stronger lately. If she keeps taking this medicine, I'm afraid..."
"Increase the dosage. She must never stand up again. I won't let her take Melody's position as principal dancer."
Only then did I realize that his so-called tender care and redemption was nothing but a cruel conspiracy.
His daily attentive care was all to pave the way for his little childhood sweetheart.
If that's how it is, I'll let them have their way.

He Said a Cripple Wasn't Worthy Of the Principal Dancer

As she opened her mouth, she began to curse viciously.


"Brent, that bitch Felicity leaked the pet store video. You need to find a way to get it off the trending list! My front door is completely surrounded by paparazzi..."


Melody froze, then raised her voice in disbelief as she processed what she'd heard.


"That's impossible... Why would you do this? Don't you like me? We grew up together, why are you helping that bitch Felicity go after me!?"


"Do you have any idea how much effort I put in to..."


Brent interrupted her through gritted teeth, his brow furrowed.


"Shut up! Stop calling her a bitch. You don't deserve to even say her name!"


"Didn't I tell you I would handle everything and that you shouldn't interfere in my business? Why didn't you listen?"


"From now on, I'm done dealing with your shit. You're on your own."


Brent was about to hang up when he heard Melody's cold laugh.


"Brent, who are you trying to fool by acting all righteous?"
