Chapter 3
Harlan showed up with the money, but the kidnappers never intended for him to live.
They wanted him dead.
When his life was hanging by a thread, it was I who took the fatal blow
for him.
The kidnappers, enraged, shifted their attention to me.
The cops finally showed up right before I passed out.
When I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital. Harlan was holding my hands tightly, his eyes red.
“Fiona, it’s all my fault.
“I was this close to… lose you forever.
“Be my girlfriend, OK? I wanna protect you forever.”
I knew he did nothing wrong, but I couldn’t help but be angry with him.
He hid his identity from me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to suffer or lose the right to be a mother.
But he cried pitifully, apologizing to me again and again.
Maybe it was guilt, or maybe it was the fact that I saved his life; anyway, other than anger, I had to admit my feelings for him were real.
Three months after what had happened, I finally agreed to be with him.

He was so over the moon that he posted ten times on Instagram in one day, showing off to everyone he was no longer single.
After a year that we officially started dating, he took me back to the Trivett’s villa.
On that day, I met his parents, his elder brother Hunter Trivett, and hist sister–in–law Bonnic.
Back then, I didn’t get it. In Harlan’s mouth, Bonnie was so perfect–she was always so gentle and considerate, but she treated me coldly. And it also baffled me why he always hurled sarcastic remarks at her.
I just wanted to get along with her, my future sister–in–law, so I invited her to go shopping for clothes frequently.
