When Clan rushed to the wasteland to save me, my legs had already been broken by someone.
My face was slashed with a knife, and ten fingernails were forcibly pulled out.
I fell for this man who gave me a second chance at life, and when he proposed, I accepted without hesitation.
Three years into our marriage, my legs had healed, and I was preparing to share this good news with him.
But outside his office, I overheard an argument between him and his ex–girlfriend.
“I explained back then that Vivienne and I were just boss and employee. You insisted I ruin her, or you’d break up with me. I follow your words and crippled her, but you still left me without a second thought. You’re so heartless.”
“I left, but you still married her. You clearly love her!”
Cian pulled her close, holding her tight: “You fool? You’re the only one I love. I married her just to get back at you for leaving. You didn’t like her, so I married her on purpose, thinking it would bring you back to me.”
“Grace, your words can make me move heaven and earth for you. The scars on her body are proof of my loyalty to you…” He gazed lovingly at the woman in his arms, and they finally kissed passionately.

So, I was just a pawn in your love story all along…
My eyes blurred with dizziness, and my recently recovered legs weakened once again.
I fell heavily to the ground, and despite the loud noise, Cian didn’t notice.
Because inside the office, the sounds of their passionate
reunion after a long separation were even louder.
The words Cian said reminded me of the scene when thugs had mercilessly beaten my waist and legs with clubs.
Due to a critical project, I had worked overtime until midnight. I was kidnapped and taken to a remote, desolate area.
The tall man didn’t speak; the first thing he did was gag me and beat my legs with a club.
When my lower body was numb with pain, he took out tools and pulled out my fingernails.
The pain was excruciating, but I couldn’t scream.
I could only weep and whimper in agony.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but I saw the sky beginning to lighten.
I thought the man was tired and would let me go.
He took out a small knife and made two cuts on my face.
Refore leaving he dronned a final remark

“Blame yourself for this. You upset my girl. Don’t bother calling the cops, it’s useless.”
I had lost a lot of blood, watching the blurry figure walk away, so eerily familiar.
I thought I would die in that wasteland, but just as my eyes were about to close, I saw Cian rushing towards me.
He rushed me to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Although I was left disabled, at least I survived. I thought it was salvation, but it turned out to be a cruel deception orchestrated by Cian to get revenge for his lover.
I sat on the floor, my whole body trembling.
It took a long time before I could stand up by leaning against the wall. The sounds of pleasure from the office hadn’t stopped.
I walked out a few yards before security spotted me.
“Who are you? How dare you trespass on Mr. Prescott’s executive floor?”
Because of my disfigured face, Cian had thought about bringing me out in public, but I was too insecure and refused multiple times. He never brought it up again, so no one in the entire company had seen what I looked like. It was normal they didn’t recognize me.
Seeing me wearing a mask and acting strangely, the security guard treated me a
He suddenly came closer and pulled off my mask, then stepped back half a pace in surprise.
“I’m your Mrs. Prescott.”
His attitude became even worse as he slapped me hard across the face.
He sneered, “You think you can pass yourself off as Mr.
Prescott’s wife looking like that? You’re probably here to steal something.”
The guard called for backup on his radio: “I don’t know how you guys are guarding the doors, but a thief got into the company without anyone noticing. Send someone to drag her out!” Two big men ignored my explanations, searched me, and then carried me off, dumping me in a park about a quarter mile from the company. I got up and sat down in the chair, then called my
mom:
“Mom, I can walk now. Can you take me in?”
