Lies Form the Shackles of Love

After returning home, Adam started helping Ginnie change her shoes and clothes, just like always.

When they ate, he was worried that cutting the steak would be too hard for her, so he cut it for her and fed her.

As they ate, Adam’s phone rang.

Ginnie spotted the caller ID. There was no name, only a heart.

She scowled.

The sight of the caller ID made Adam immediately put down his fork and knife and stand up. He gently kissed Ginnie on the forehead.

“I have an important meeting at the company tonight. I’ll be back soon.”

Ginnie asked, “Why do you have a meeting so late at night? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

He simply took out a bracelet from his pocket and put it around Ginnie’s wrist before flicking her nose. “We’ve been busy lately, so this is unavoidable. Take this bracelet as an apology from me.”

With that said, he grabbed his car keys and left in a hurry.

Soon after Adam left, Ginnie received a message from Snow.

It contained a series of words and a few photos.

[Come to Grant Corporation’s new product launch tomorrow. I have a surprise for you.]

The message was deleted in less than two minutes.

It was followed by another message. [Sorry, wrong person.]

Ginnie knew that Snow had done so on purpose. She saved the photos before the message was deleted.

Zooming in allowed her to see Snow having a candlelight dinner with another man, and Ginnie could tell immediately that the man was Adam, even though he only had an arm revealed.

He had removed his wedding ring, but there was a barely perceptible, faint mark on his ring finger. He was helping Snow put on a beautiful bracelet.

Ginnie had heard of the bracelet before. It was a limited-edition diamond bracelet that had once cost an exorbitant amount of money. Adam had flown abroad and bought it from an auction some time ago.

The bracelet Adam gave her was just a complimentary item from the auction house.

The next day, Adam left early for Grand Corporation’s new product launch.

Apparently, the company was going to announce that they were working with a mysterious artist and launching the new product they had been working on together, so this launch had garnered a lot of attention.

Soon after Adam left, Ginnie hailed a cab and went to the launch.

She sat in a corner and saw a familiar face.

That was Adam’s true love and Ginnie’s former best friend—Snow Warma.

Both Ginnie and Snow were the only two students of a famous artist, Howard Thompson.

Since Ginnie was a prodigy, she learned much faster than Snow, and her skills were also superior.

Due to her excellent skills and looks, she dated Howard’s grandson, William Thompson, and was engaged to him.

Snow did not show any signs of jealousy despite Ginnie being better than she was in every aspect. Instead, she got closer to her, and they talked about everything and anything.

But a day before her wedding, Snow stole William from Ginnie, and she finally saw Snow’s true colors.

Ginnie did not want to dwell too much on what had happened later.

But after the lie Adam crafted to save her, she thought that Adam was her savior, only to learn that it was just another trap.

Meanwhile, Adam was holding Snow’s hand and announcing to all the media that Snow was the mysterious artist who had been working closely with Grant Corporation.

His eyes sparkled, and the love in his eyes when he stared at Snow was clear as day.

One of the reporters put his microphone in front of Adam. “Mr. Grant, I heard that you’ve known Miss Warma for years. Since you’ve never announced being married before, are you waiting for a chance to marry Miss Warma in the future?”
