Slowly, Camila’s laughter faded into a long, weary sigh, as if she were releasing two decades worth of bitterness, pain, and unspoken resentment.
She thought, Belinda, you always called me a nuisance, didn’t you? But now it seems the real nuisance isn’t me. It’s your beloved husband. Everything you’ve suffered stems from your inability to see him for what he truly is a complete scumbag

But Belinda, completely consumed by love, lost all sense of reason. Determined to be with Arthur, she became pregnant with a child before graduating, resolute in her decision to marry him.
Left with no other choice, Brogan reluctantly agreed to their marriage, but only on the condition that Arthur would join the Davis family as a live–in son–in–law.
Arthur outwardly agreed, but deep down, he saw it as a bitter humiliation. Yet, in pursuit of the life of wealth and status he had always dreamed of, he swallowed his pride and buried his resentment deep within.
When Arthur’s son, Harry, was born, Brogan insisted that Harry take the surname Davis. Arthur was seething with anger but had no power to resist. Instead, he resorted to underhanded tactics, secretly trying to drive a wedge between Belinda and Brogan.

Agnes inherited Ivanna’s kidney disease, and Arthur immediately thought of Camila. He reasoned that if Belinda’s kidney could be transplanted into Ivanna, then Camila’s kidney should work for Agnes, too.
This was the real reason Arthur brought Camila back from the orphanage. To ensure the success of his plan, he even framed her and had her sent to prison. After all, no one would bother about a prisoner losing a kidney.

The hatred in her heart grew like wildfire, consuming her entirely. At that moment, she wished she could tear Arthur apart, making him pay for every despicable thing he’d done.
Taking a deep breath, Camila tried to calm the storm raging inside her. Her hands trembled as she slowly turned to the next page of the documents.
