Betrayers Out, Everthing Mine

Synopsis

Amid the desolation of my loneliest year, I took on a young hunk, Eric Palmer, as my boyfriend, and sponsored him. Time rolled on, and I had to travel abroad for medical treatment. Eric spent an entire night by my bedside, sobbing his heart out, hoping to change my mind about going alone. But I was firm. "This is a make-or-break period for your career in the country. I hope to see you win the Best Actor award when I come back." True to his potential, three years down the line, Eric was crowned the Best Actor. Yet, the homecoming I'd envisioned was far from what greeted me. There, in my very own manor, was Lily Monroe, Eric's pampered lover, parading around in my clothes with an air of superiority. Twirling the precious white ring that rightfully belonged to me, she taunted, "Thanks to me, you're getting a taste of the high-class life you'd never access otherwise. But that's all you're getting. Keep your hands off everything, or you'll be in debt for life." In a flash, I snatched the ring off her finger and landed a stinging slap on her face. "I just did. What are you gonna do about it?"
