Chapter 1

Before Orlando Dempster and I got married, his childhood sweetheart, Sarah Benson bumped into me.

I trapped and could not get off the car.

Just as I was calling for help, I heard Orlando say, since I had not arrived at the wedding on time, the bride was replaced with Sarah.

Later, I was sent to the hospital. The doctor said that my leg tendons were broken and I would never be able to dance again.

As a top dancer, I lost both my career and love at the same time.

Just when I was deeply devastated and wanted to die with Sarah, Gerard Palmer appeared, built a special studio for me and held a grand marriage proposal.

I married Gerard with a grateful heart.

However, three years later, I accidentally overheard his secret.

"Mr. Palmer, if Ms. Anderson's foot injury is delayed any longer, it will never be cured. If she knew that the car accident that year was caused by you and Ms. Benson, would she fight you to death?"

I who raised my hand and planned to knock on the door paused and my heart suddenly tightened.

Gerard's emotionless voice sounded.

"Oh, she won't find out. I will take care of her for the rest of her life. It's enough for her to dance in the studio. I won't let her affect Sarah's career in the dance world!"

My tears fell like raindrops outside the door and each drop hurt my heart.

It turned out that what I thought was redemption was actually an even more terrifying abyss.

In that case, Gerard, you and I should never meet again from now on.

——

In order to surprise him on Valentine's Day, I quietly came to his office.

But I was the one who was surprised to overhear and find out the secret of the car accident back then.

Then, I heard his heartbreaking voice from inside the door.

"As long as she and Orlando are happy, it's enough for me to just watch them quietly. I'll give her 20% of my wife's shares on Valentine's Day."

The assistant's voice instantly grew louder.

"Mr. Palmer, this is not joke. Ms. Benson and Mr. Dempster will hold more shares than you and you will be kicked out of the company."

However, Gerard's tone was firm.

"She is kind and understanding. She wouldn't do such a thing.

I trust her! I was supposed to create this foundation for her, but unfortunately, I came too late. She fell in love with Orlando first."

I hid my tears and tried to breathe deeply.

Told myself to hold on.

Hearing the footsteps of the secretary approaching, I turned and left.

The receptionist in the lobby area did not even have time to stop me.

When I returned home and looked at the familiar furnishings, I was shivering with cold.

Everything in the living room was just the way Sarah liked.

But I was so slow-witted that I immersed myself in Gerard's lies and lost my true heart.

Once, I placed blooming red plums in a corner of the living room.

The next day it turned into lilies.

He explained that the plum blossom was sharp, not as elegant as the lily.

But lily was Sarah's favorite.

Sure enough, whether a person loved you or not was actually very obvious and hidden in the details.

I angrily smashed the lilies in the living room along with the vase.

The broken porcelain piece shattered onto my face, leaving a bloody mark.

At the moment, Gerard pushed open the door and walked into the house.

Seeing the mess on the ground, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

I saw him take a deep breath, maintain his gentle expression and come over to hold my hand.

"Nichole, what's wrong with you? Are you upset about your foot injury again? You can't dance from now on, but you still have me. I will be by your side for the rest of my life."

Gerard gently helped me sit down and brought over the water cup and pills.

If I ignored the coldness in the bottom of his eyes, I really thought what he had for me was love.
