Chapter 7
I seemed to have had a very distant dream.
In the dream, I was born in a mansion that resembled a castle. My beautiful mother held me in her arms, gently calling me “little princess.”
After a while, my tall and handsome father walked in, reaching out to pinch my little face.
“My cute little princess, what do you want to eat today?”
I shrank shyly into my mother’s arms and replied, “I like whatever Daddy makes.”
My father lovingly looked at my mother, “Then I’ll make what Mommy loves!”

He openly showed his love for her, and even with me, he had never reduced the affection he had for her.
Despite being very busy, whenever he had time, he would stay at home and play with me and Mom.
But the happiness didn’t last. One day, a group of criminals broke into our home. They stole everything of value and shot our servants dead.
In order to protect me, my mother threw me into the back of a passing pickup truck from the balcony.
I stretched out my hands and cried for her, but the last thing I saw was the entire mansion suddenly exploding, the raging flames instantly engulfing my mother.

“Ah!”
I couldn’t suppress my terrified scream, and soon, I was held in warm, strong arms.
“Good girl, thank God, you’re awake!”
The loving voice made me momentarily dazed.
When I looked up, a middle–aged man with gray–white hair sat in front of me. Despite his long beard, his deep–set eyes and eyebrows looked exactly like my father from my dream.
“Dad… Father?”
I stared at him, calling out in disbelief.
He nodded repeatedly. “Good girl, it’s Dad. Don’t be afraid, no one will ever hurt you

eye and had Lain go to the hospital early, otherwise, Shervin would have gotten to you!”
My father’s expression darkened when he mentioned Shervin.
He explained that in the emergency situation, Lain was worried he wouldn’t be able to explain things to me quickly enough, so he injected me with a sedative to make me pass out. Then, through the monitoring room’s hidden passage, he managed to bring me out and set fire to the ward.
When Shervin and his people arrived and heard the commotion, the raging fire blocked their way.
After the fire was put out, they found only a body burnt beyond recognition.

No matter what, I would make sure the child grew up safely.
In the days that followed, under the carefull care of my father and Lain, I recovered quickly.
Though the fingers that had been brokem weren’t as agile as before, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace.
Three months later, I gave birth to a son..
My father was very happy and also shared some good news with me.
“The good days for those three are almost over.”
“Really?” I could hardly believe it.

mafia, Shervin had made great contributions to the organization in the past. Killing him carelessly wouldn’t be easy to explain to the rest of the group.
But through my previous interactions with Hart, I knew he had helped Shervin do a lot of things that were detrimental to the mafia.
So after reuniting with my father, I provided several crucial clues.
Over the past three months, my father had sent people to investigate and gather evidence. Once the proof was in hand, Shervin would have no way to argue.
Once Shervin fell, Waimea and Hart would naturally crumble as well.
My father looked at me and said, “The clues you provided were very useful.

Coincidentally, Waimea and Hart are about to get married. I plan to expose their true faces at their wedding.”
I froze for a moment upon hearing this.
I hadn’t expected Waimea and Hart to get married so soon.
But honestly, it was to be expected, wasn’t it? After all, Hart had never loved me.
From the very beginning, our union was nothing but a vile scheme.
But even with such ruthless and
cold–hearted people, no matter how they carefully prepared a dream wedding, it was destined to end in tragedy.
From this moment on, the countdown to their deaths officially began.
