Chapter 2

In fact, I had known Dorian since we were young. We knew each other for at least thirty years.

At that time, the Payne family was already a wealthy family in Riverdol.

And my family was not bad, either. Although not as good as the Payne family, we had a big family business.

Dorian's father and my father were friends in the business world.

Our families often gathered together, and I played with Dorian since I was a child.

I could also be considered as Dorian's childhood sweetheart.

But there was also Ruby's father who was friends with the Payne family.

The Martinez family was a supplier of the Payne family, and they relied on the Payne family for their livelihood.

When we grew up, the Martinez family wanted to arrange a marriage between Ruby and Dorian.

Moreover, Ruby was quite skilled in seducing men.

She was determined to marry Dorian.

Naturally, Dorian had a good impression of Ruby, who was trying to please him.

But at that time, I had loved Dorian for many years.

Due to Ruby's interference, I never dared to express my feelings.

Dorian and Ruby even reached the point of discussing marriage.

Just when Ruby was overjoyed, thinking that the marriage with Dorian was a done deal...

Dorian's mother rejected Ruby, and I knew the real reason behind it.

When Dorian's father was young, he was handsome and he attracted many women.

Mrs. Payne has had enough of the unscrupulous mistresses.

She had never liked Ruby, a woman who was cunning and had a reputation for being promiscuous.

She had someone investigate Ruby's style a long time ago and knew that she only claimed to only love Dorian.

In fact, she had been with many men, and she especially liked to go to nightclubs and bars to have fun.

Mrs. Payne came from a prestigious family with strict family rules. How could she accept such a daughter-in-law?

After the Payne family rejected the Martinez family, I felt a little relieved and thought that I could finally confess my feelings to Dorian.

What surprised me was that when I was about to confess my feelings, I felt a strong disgust in Dorian's eyes.

"Did you badmouth Ruby in front of my mom?"

I was shocked by this and didn't understand what Dorian meant. How could he associate this matter with me?

I shook my head and denied it.

"No. I have never said anything about Ruby in front of Mrs. Payne. You have to believe me. I really like you."

However, Dorian pushed me away with a cold face that was full of mockery.

"I never expected that you are so scheming. My mom just rejected Ruby, and your dad proposed our marriage with my mom. How dare you say it has nothing to do with you? I'm not a fool!"

"I warn you, I hate women who backstab me. Don't even think about marrying me unless I'm dead!"

After that, Dorian was full of disgust toward me and refused to see me again.

Before that, we used to have meals and chat together as friends.

When I got home, I found out that my dad had proposed the marriage to the Payne family.

But he didn't tell me in advance, so I didn't know.

My dad said the reason he didn't tell me was because he already knew that I liked Dorian.

I would definitely agree. What he said was right, but he didn't know that Dorian had always liked Ruby.

Just when I thought we had no fate to be together in this lifetime, things changed.

The Payne family was on the brink of bankruptcy overnight due to a mistake in a critical business decision.

Meanwhile, my family business had been booming.

To get through the business crisis, Dorian's parents took the initiative to propose the marriage.

My parents knew that I had always liked Dorian, so they immediately agreed.

We invested 100 million dollars in the Payne family at the engagement to help them get through the business crisis.

After the crisis was solved, Dorian was forced to marry me as a matter of course.

And Ruby, who had always wanted to marry into the Payne family, couldn't handle the shock and went abroad.

Speaking of which, this marriage could be considered as a result of my insistence against all odds.

Perhaps, this was why he had been maintaining a superficial marriage with me for so many years.

But in his heart, he had always been thinking about Ruby.

In Dorian's heart, it was me who broke them up and made them lose their happiness.

But because of the strong connection in our family businesses, he couldn't divorce me.

Every time when he got drunk and wanted to vent emotions, he would curse at me.

He cursed me for relying on my family's wealth to coerce him, otherwise, he would never look at me.

He also cursed me for being cheap, saying that I forced him to marry me while knowing that he didn't like me.

Was this different from forced sex? In front of him, I was always guilty.

To make him look at me more, even though I was a rich girl, I tried my best to be humble in front of him.

In front of him, I was always humble and treated him as a high and mighty king.

But in the end, when Ruby just came back from abroad, he gave up everything to be with her.

He completely ignored the fact that he was a married man with a son.

After so many years, all my efforts had become a joke in the end.

And now, he and Ruby killed my only son!
