She never gave me a proper wedding, always saying she didn’t want it to be too showy. Each time, she said it was to earn Bennett’s full trust for my revenge plan.
I never knew she and Bennett were already trapped in secret and forbidden feelings.

Only after I fought hard to stand again, step by step and became strong enough to challenge the Bradford Family, did they start to fear me.
My heart slowly became cold as I lifted my head and looked around the banquet. All the sons from big families and the skilled people I had trained myself were laughing happily, as if my disability was a funny joke.
Just then, Bennett shouted with a playful smile, "Nolan, it's your turn! Truth or dare?"
I looked at him calmly and slowly stood up. "Of course, I'll choose neither."
