Chapter 2

Nancy kept creating trouble as the wedding date got nearer. Every time she flew into a temper, the Sinclair brothers would torture me just to cheer her up. It drained me mentally and emotionally. I was really exhausted.

I might have promised Cole not to reveal that I was getting married to him, but I still decided to stop running after the Sinclair brothers and begging them to love me.

When I pushed the door open, Nancy was twirling while dressed in my wedding gown.

Ryan and Luke were smiling at her. Their love for her was so obvious.

They pursed their lips at the same time when I entered.

"Didn't you pretend to pass out to get hospitalized? You acted like you had anemia and refused to donate your blood this morning."

"Why are you home so soon? Worried about missing the wedding tomorrow?"

"Come on, Paige. Why won't you just give up? You're really disgusting."

Nancy's cunning smile suddenly disappeared from her face as she started to tug on the wedding gown she was wearing. "I'm so sorry, Paige. I'm just really envious of you. It's wrong of me to put on your wedding gown. Please don't hit me. I won't do it again…"

She cried and kneeled on the floor, ruining the wedding gown my grandmother had custom-made for me before she passed away.

I tried to stop her from kneeling, but Nancy only cried harder. "I didn't do it on purpose. Ryan and Luke wanted to see what I looked like in a wedding gown. I'll take it off right now. Please don't throw me out undressed like before. I'm really scared."

The eyes of the Sinclair brothers widened as they looked at me with hatred.

"You're a woman too, Paige. How could you do that to Nancy?"

"Don't you have any empathy? If we hadn't seen through your schemes, Nancy would have been bullied to death by an animal like you."

"Do you think nothing will happen to you just because we're engaged, Paige? We'll make sure you become the laughingstock of the city at the wedding tomorrow."

My emotions were in turmoil as I looked straight at them. "Both of you don't need to worry about my wedding. My grandmother left this gown to me as my wedding present. It's my personal belonging. None of you have any right to touch it. Give the wedding gown to me, Nancy."

Nancy hid behind the Sinclair brothers with reddened eyes. Her arm swept against the red wine on the table, and the white gown was instantly dyed red.

Ryan scoffed and tore the stained wedding gown to pieces.

"Human hearts are easily dirtied, and so is this thing. Only garbage has the right to cherish garbage."

I was enraged and reached out to pick up the pieces that were flung to the floor.

Nancy quickly moved away when she saw this. She tripped on herself, and her head knocked into the corner of the table. She passed out after that.

The Sinclair brothers quickly rushed forward to carry Nancy in their arms when they saw this.

"How can you do this to your sister just because you want to marry us, Paige?"

"We won't let you off if anything happens to Nancy."

They ran out of the door with Nancy after that.

Nancy's head was facing me while she was in Ryan's arms. She opened her eyes slightly and smiled as she mouthed, "You lost."

Her action reminded me of the humiliation I felt the past few days, and I could not take it any longer. I rushed forward to grab Nancy's hair.

"I told you that she's wearing my wedding gown. It doesn't matter to me where you're going, but you need to leave the gown behind before you leave!"

Ryan was carrying Nancy, and Luke tried to pull my hand off.

"This is just something an old woman left behind. What does it matter that Nancy tried it on?"

"Aren't you planning to wear it to marry us? I'm telling you right now that's not possible, Paige Edwards!"

I was kneeling on the warped linoleum of my trailer, packing my life into a trash bag, when the predatory purr of a luxury SUV echoed through the thin walls. I thought it was a raid, but it was something much worse. Julian Sterling, a federal prosecutor in a charcoal suit, stepped into the mud and bought me from my alcoholic stepfather. He didn't use cash; he used a list of felonies and a legal settlement to trade my freedom for my stepfather's silence. "Throw it away," Julian ordered, pointing at the bag containing everything I owned. I watched my sister's stuffed bear fall into an oil puddle as he forced me into a world of cold leather and silence. By the time we reached Boston, Faith Vance was dead. He forced me to sign papers changing my name to Elara, erasing my past to fit a narrative of Swiss boarding schools and high-society breeding. The horror didn't stop there. The family patriarch, Arthur Sterling, looked at us with hawk-like eyes and issued a command that turned my blood to ice. To avoid scandal, Julian and I were to be introduced as "Brother" and "Sister." Julian's jaw tightened until a vein throbbed in his temple, and when he finally called me "Sister," the word sounded like a curse. I was a prisoner in a mansion with bars on the windows, caught between a "brother" who loathed my existence and a cousin who tried to assault me in my own room. They dressed me in silk armor and expected me to be a doll, a manageable piece of a legacy I never asked for. I sat at a dinner table worth more than my hometown, swallowing oysters that tasted like salt and iodine, while Julian created a physical barrier between me and the wolves. Under the tablecloth, I reached out and squeezed his clenched fist. His fingers uncurled and captured mine in a grip so crushing it felt like a pact signed in the dark. I have a jagged shard of glass in my pocket and five thousand dollars a month to hoard. Julian says the law is a weapon that breaks weak people, but he's about to find out that I'm not a lamb. I'm a survivor, and I'm ready for the casualties.
