Daffodils were a new beginning and a symbol of rebirth.”
I kept this daffodil in my room. Always remind myself that freedom and dreams were hard–won.>
After Zack and I applied hard, my superiors agreed to let me become his partner. We cooperated well and worked together. Our relationship became closer and closer.”
Once he secretly filmed a video of me and posted it on the Internet, which caused quite a stir. I also earned the nickname of “the most beautiful captain“. Gradually, I got used to this simple, peaceful and challenging life.”
Until one day, the plane landed.M
When my colleagues and I were discussing what to eat for supper, I saw that familiar figure.”
The moment our eyes met, I suddenly felt as if I were in another world. In just a few seconds. I saw shock and a flash of surprise in Sonny’s eyes. But soon, he regained his rebellious look. With a condescending attitude, he looked down on me and everything in the world.
“Meredith, come home with me when you’ve had enough fun. Stephan is still young, he can’t do without your care,” he said lightly.” I smiled and looked at Sonny fearlessly. “Mr. Monroe, you’re joking. I’m not his mother and I have no obligation to take care of him.“}] Sonny frowned. “How can you not be…”
He stopped halfway through his words. In the past eight years, the sentence I heard the most was.
“Meredith, who do you think you are? The Monroe Family let you in to take care of Mr. Monroe and the young Monroe.“>
“Don’t think that you can be the mistress of the Monroe Family just because you stay with Mr. Monroe for a long time. You are just a substitute. How can you be the mother of Stephan?”
Sonny was not unaware of the people around me talking and mocking me.
He was just used to my dedication and care. He was used to ignoring my feelings. But no one was willing to live as a substitute for others. No one was willing to be a transparent shadow.
My name was Meredith, but I was not insignificant. I was also a unique existence in this world. I could also have my own dreams and pursuits. Even if I was insignificant, I should not be ignored and laughed at.”
Now I had found a world that belonged to me. I could fly freely and confidently in the boundless sky. How could I be willing to return to that cage full of constraints?}
Sonny still didn’t care about my feelings at all. He grabbed my hand and dragged me towards his Maybach car.
“Meredith, you don’t have the right to refuse. Between us, I am the only one who has the right to say it’s over!” he insisted.
Sonny was so strong that he left a red mark on my wrist.
My colleagues came over to defend me. But because of his status, they didn’t dare to do anything radical. Only Zack wanted to rush over regardless of others‘ obstruction.
The high–intensity training gave me the strength to resist. I was one step ahead of him, broke free from the restraints and slapped Sonny in the face.
“Sonny, stop dreaming, who do you think you are? Why do you ask me to turn back after trampling on my sincerity?“}
When I first met Sonny, I was only eighteen years old. It was the age of a young girl’s love. Facing a handsome, rich and charming man, it was impossible not to be tempted.
So I tried to make everything almost perfect. I tried hard to integrate into that family and get everyone’s recognition.
