The whole time, he took care of her, stayed by her side, kept whispering reassurance.
“Kenzie, don’t be scared. I’m here. I won’t let them hurt you.”
Back then, he was the only light in her darkness.
She buried that love deep inside her until the day he showed up to propose.
‘Finally,’ she thought, ‘everything had turned around.’
But reality smashed her over the head.
It was all fake!
Turns out, even deep love can be performed!
Before she could recover from the blow, she caught sight of her two brothers approaching out of the corner of her eye.
They had never liked her. She reacted on instinct, hid in the conference room next door, and overheard what they really thought of her.
“I heard Kenzie almost bled to death during childbirth,” Kendrick, the oldest, said. “Should we find some time to go see her?”
The younger brother, Kobe, didn’t bother hiding his disgust.
“Nope. Not going. Kinsey’s the only sister I have. If it weren’t for Kenzie, Kinsey would’ve married Colton a long time ago. She bled that much and still lived? Guess she’s lucky.”
“When she finally dies,” he added coldly, “I’ll give her a grand funeral. Until then, I don’t want to see her. Just looking at her kills my mood.”
