As the sole heiress of the Vance Group, I had been with my fiancé for three years and considered him my everything.
I naively believed I had found perfect love.
Until I lay on the hospital bed, suffering from acute gastric bleeding, and my fiancé finally dropped his pretense.
"I've long been fed up with you...a haughty princess."
"I've been with that intern for three years now, and we have twins."
"You were just a stepping stone for me to revive my family's fortunes. It would be best if you could just disappear quietly."
So, all those three years of sweet nothings had been lies. He loved someone else, and all he truly wanted was my family's money.
An excruciating pain washed over me, the heart monitor shrieked frantically, and I closed my eyes in despair.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back three years prior, on the very day my father had asked for my opinion on this marriage.

The Second Chance Fate Gave Me

Five years later, on a bright morning, while I was in my home office working on some documents, four-year-old Victoria came skipping in, holding an old photo album. Her black curly hair and green eyes were the perfect testament to the love Liam and I shared.


"Mommy, who's this?" she asked, pointing to a photo from my college days where Lucian and I were smiling at the camera.


I lifted her onto my lap, gently running my fingers through her soft hair. "That's someone Mommy knew in college. We used to be friends."


"Then why doesn't he come to our house anymore?" she asked innocently, her eyes full of curiosity.


I looked at her innocent face, pondering how to explain this complicated matter in a way she could understand. "Sometimes, people's paths diverge and we need to find our own way."


Victoria seemed to accept this explanation and was soon captivated by our wedding photos. "Daddy looks so handsome! And your wedding dress is so beautiful!"
