On my father's deathbed, he entrusted me to my fiancé, Morgan Parry. But at our wedding, he proposed to my best friend, Celia Barnett, instead. When I was heartbroken and disillusioned, Morgan's younger brother, Gerardo Parry, confessed his love for me and asked me to marry him. Three years into our marriage, Morgan tragically passed away, and Celia, devastated, retreated to a church for seclusion. One day, while bringing lunch to Gerardo, I accidentally overheard a conversation between him and his secretary. "Mr. Parry, this month's donation to the church is 30 thousand dollars, and you transferred 300 thousand dollars to Miss Barnett. But all this money belongs to Mrs. Parry, left to her by her father. Aren't you afraid Mrs. Parry will leave you if she finds out?" Gerardo replied nonchalantly, "She'll just waste it all anyway. It's better to give it all to Celia. As long as Celia is happy, I'll do anything for her." I stood frozen outside the door, as if trapped in a block of ice. The inheritance my father left me, and my husband used it to support another woman. What I thought was love and devotion turned out to be a one-man show. If that was the case, why should I hold on?
