My childhood sweetheart fell in love with an orphan girl from the welfare home and insisted on breaking off our engagement. I tried to reason with him. "You're in the middle of a fierce battle for the inheritance. Why not wait until it's settled before making any decisions?" But then, the orphan girl died in an accident while trying to save him. After he finally secured his position as the heir, his first move was to crush my family's business until it went bankrupt. My parents sold everything we had, only to fall ill and die in a shabby, run-down house. As for me? He locked me in the basement and tortured me to death. "This is all what you owed Bella," he said. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the engagement party—the night our families announced our marriage alliance. Facing his demand to call off the engagement, I smiled and said, "I will be your sister-in-law."
