Our Love Turned to Dust, Yet You Left Me in a World of WinterChapter 1

When Larissa Hamilton was at her poorest, my mother threw a check for thirty million dollars at her.

My mother barked an order, “Just take the money and leave Ajax forever!”

Larissa didn’t argue. She quietly took the check and disappeared. Not long after, she joined New York’s elite social circles and rose faster than anyone expected, becoming one of the richest women in the city.

That same year, Larissa transferred everything she owned to me. Her savings, properties and shares. She left nothing for herself. Not only that, but she also hired a team of top lawyers for me and a group of people who would protect me no matter what happened.

Larissa told me that she wanted to make me the happiest man in the world.

But on our wedding day, she made me wait for twelve long hours. In the end, what I received wasn’t her. Instead, it was the news that her adopted brother, who was recently released from a mental hospital, had run over my mother again and again with his car, killing her on the spot.
