It all started when my mom caught Melisa bullying me and stood up for me. That was why she scolded Melisa.
As I looked at Cody, it hit me—he wasn’t the guy I once loved.
Yeah, there was a time when I really cared about him.
Everyone thought we were just business partners, but from the moment I set foot in the Jordan Family, I secretly started to develop feelings for him.
That day, I ended up fainting from losing too much blood. In the evening, this cool and good-looking guy showed up to visit me.
He handed me a box of chocolates, all in some foreign language I couldn’t read—they looked fancy.
“Thanks on behalf of Melisa. After your next blood transfusion, these chocolates will help keep your energy up so you won’t faint,” he said in his smooth voice.
I foolishly thought, my parents and brother didn’t even bother, but here was someone being genuinely nice to me.
I asked him who he was.
Turns out, he was Cody Stone, the Jordan Family’s pick for me—my fiancé.
God, Audrey, how clueless, I thought and laughed, sitting down and clutching my stomach.
How could a box of chocolates win you over?
But the laughter quickly faded. Because I realized, I was no different now.
