In my most desperate year, I sold out the two Hart brothers I was betrothed to, all for a single meal. Nathan Hart, the gentle and steady older brother, sped after me to the airport and crashed halfway there. Both legs paralyzed. Leon Hart, the reckless younger brother, fought desperately to save the company, but his methods went too far, and he was sent to prison. That night, the Hart Group's official account posted my photo. The caption read, [Zoe Turner, it ends only when one of us is dead.] By the third year of hiding, life had grown hard again. I had no choice but to return home and take on a restoration job to earn some money. But I walked right into a trap they had set. In a sealed room, Leon, fresh out of prison, pressed a blade against my neck. His voice was light, but dripping with hate. "Found yourself a new boyfriend, huh? Got brave." Nathan rolled up in his wheelchair and reached out to pat my head, his voice gentle. "Now that you're back, you can't leave again."
