My half-sister was dying of cancer, and she had one final wish: to steal my life.

She demanded my wedding, my fiancé, everything. So I watched as she walked down the aisle in the dress I designed myself, on the arm of the man I loved, into the wedding that should have been mine. For a dying woman, I could bear it.

But when she came for the heirloom bracelet my late mother left me, something inside me snapped. At the auction, I watched my ex-fiancé, Jasper, shield her as they drove the price up to a staggering 200 million. Bled dry by my own parasitic family, I was helpless, forced to see my last connection to my mother fall into their hands—

Until a calm, commanding voice cut through the room: “300 million.” The entire hall fell silent. Mack Ben, the notoriously private and influential head of the Ben family, had made the bid. “A gift,” he declared, his gaze finding mine, “for Miss Colby.”

After I retrieved the bracelet, I promised to repay him. “Mr. Ben, I’ll find a way to pay back the 300 million.” He simply studied my face, a slight frown creasing his brow. “Freya Colby,” he asked softly, “have you forgotten me?” Me: ?

"Freya, I genuinely cared for you and wanted us to reconcile, but you refused to give me any opportunity. You slammed every door between us shut. You cannot fault me for being merciless when you rushed to abandon me for Mack Ben. Keep dreaming! What I cannot possess, nobody else will either!"


Jasper's voice carried desperation and venom, revealing the twisted darkness within him completely. Even through the phone, I could sense his unhinged madness.


My head throbbed with a persistent ringing, my heart turning to ice.


"You have lost your mind. You are a monster."


"Jasper Tristan, you are pathetic. You lack the backbone to acknowledge your own failures. Everyone can see which one of us is heartless and ungrateful, yet you persist in twisting the truth."
