On the day we were supposed to sign our marriage license, my fiancé vanished.
Not because of work, not because of an accident—he was busy celebrating his “precious adopted sister’s” birthday.Six years of my youth, gone. I went from a bright-eyed girl in my twenties to a woman cornered by family pressure and the ticking clock. And what did I get in return? A worthless ring and endless excuses.
The problem has always been Ivana—the so-called “sister” he always put before me.
But I’ve finally learned the cruelest truth: in love, the worst betrayal isn’t another woman—it’s being sacrificed to someone else’s fake family ties.
So this time, I didn’t cry. I didn’t beg.
I went straight to the one man Cobb fears most—his uncle.
And I struck a deal that would make Cobb’s life burn to ashes.He never saw it coming. The woman he abandoned is the same woman who lit the fire he’ll never be able to put out.

Lorena appeared at my door again this morning, but the moment her gaze landed on Soren, her entire body tensed with visible unease.


"The driver will bring you to Greenfield Estate tomorrow," Soren announced before striding out of the room without offering any further explanation.


"Greenfield Estate?" Lorena's expression brightened instantly. "This means I can finally come visit and enjoy your food again, right?"


"So you're not terrified of encountering Soren anymore?" I asked with amusement dancing in my eyes. "Every single time you see him, you react like a deer caught in headlights."
