When I learned that I was pregnant, I was holding Justin Davis' wedding invitation in my hand. The gold-stamped cover was like a fire that burned my heart. I crumpled up the pregnancy test report and threw it into the trash can. At this moment, a gentle female voice came into my ears.
"Justin Davis, stop touching me. It's not good for the kids to see."
I stood there frozen, without even the strength to turn around. But through the reflection in the glass, I still saw Justin Davis and Vivian walking in hand in hand. The scarlet tie around his neck was exactly the one I had carefully selected for him. My heart ached suddenly, and tears almost burst out.
Once , the name " Justin Davis" belonged only to the two of us. He was the heir of the Davis family admired by everyone , and everyone respectfully called him Justin Davis . Only I was fearless and didn't want to call him uncle when I first met him, let alone Justin Davis . Knowing that he was eight years older than me, I insisted on calling him by his name without any respect.
“Justin Davis.”
At that time, everyone thought Justin Davis would be angry, but he just pinched my face with a smile on his face.
"Sophia Smith can call me anything she wants."
I thought I was just a passing stranger with him, but the twist of fate made me lose my parents, and the Smith family collapsed overnight. Those relatives who once affectionately called me " Sophia Smith" instantly turned into ferocious wolves and tigers, holding bills that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, trying to devour me.
When I was most desperate, Justin Davis rushed into the Smith family and held me in his arms. He whispered: " Sophia Smith , don't be afraid, I will take you home."
From then on, although I was no longer the eldest daughter of the Smith family, I became a treasure in Justin Davis's hands. He decorated my bedroom in pink, and knowing that I was afraid of loneliness, he connected two rooms and gave me endless security with a half-open door. He filled my room with jewelry and gorgeous clothes, and supported my world with tenderness and love.
However, all the beauty came to an abrupt end that night. He gave me a dreamlike experience when he was drunk, but he also shattered all my fantasies with the coldest eyes and ruthless words after waking up.
" Sophia Smith , how could I raise a girl like you who has no sense of shame?"
"You make me sick!"
He ordered people to block the door and proposed to Vivian. He has done countless things for me over the years, but this is the only thing I have never wanted in my life - a legitimate wedding.
At that moment, I finally understood that he was not against marriage, he just... simply didn't like me.
Since then, I am no longer the proud hostess of this villa. Vivian shoveled the flowers I planted and smashed the swing Justin Davis made for me. In the night when I was sleepless and afraid, she loudly entangled with Justin Davis.
That night, I called my second grandfather who lived overseas and agreed to go abroad to inherit his property.
" Sophia Smith , I don't have much time left. I regret standing idly by and watching the Smith family . I don't ask for your forgiveness, nor do I expect you to take care of me in my old age."
"I only ask that you can take good care of this family business for me after I die."
"I will, because... there is nothing here worth staying for."
At first, I was reluctant to leave Justin Davis. But now, I have become his shame, so I have no choice but to leave. I just want to say goodbye before I leave.
