Chapter 1
The pungent smell of disinfectant filled Lindsey Riley’s nostrils. She wanted to open her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t lift her eyelids
She attempted to move, but her body felt completely drained of energy, not even a finger would budge. Suddenly, Lindsey heard the soft click of a door unlocking Someone had entered.
“Jayden, how could this bitch be so tough? I drove at 120 miles per hour and hit her twice, and yet the is still alive? The speakers tone was filled with regret.
Lindsey was stunned–she knew that voice all too well. It was Sheila Jennings, her stepsister, the one who had always shown her so much concern.
So Sheila is the mastermind behind my car accident! Lindsey found it hard to believe.
“She’s not that tough; it’s that you’re too merciful, habe. If you hit her a few more times, even if Lindsey had nine lives, she’d be dead.” rame Jayden’s voice
Sheila giggled and leaned into Jayden’s embrace. With a soft, coquettish smile, she asked. “Jayden, once we get rid of Lindsey, we can be together openly. I initially thought you couldn’t bear to let her go

“I’m over her. If it weren’t for those Luminova shares she holds, I wouldn’t have put up with her this long” Jayden said with a lo glared at Lindsey on the hospital bed, clearly impatient
“That skank is completely incomparable to you” he added, slowly caressing Sheila’s smooth face, then lifting her chin with a flirtatious smile.
The two exchanged a glance and, night there in the hospital room, began to kiss. Meanwhile, Lindsey, lying on the bed, was absolutely furious.
Jayden Parker was Lindsey’s fiance. They had been engaged for five years and were supposed to marry in just three days, but then came the sadden car accident. Now it seemed that it had all been a plot between Jayden and Sheila
“Ugh, Jayden, you’re getting bolder and bolder. There’s another one in the room!” Sheila playfully pushed Jayden, but he pulled her even closer
“Another one? Babe, you mean Lindsey! Isn’t she already dead?” Jayden said.
Sheila froze for a moment before laughing. “You’re so mean!”
Jayden laugherton, but his eyes slowly turned to Lindsey, filled with malice and venom. He gradually released Sheila and walked over to Lindsey’s bed
“Babe, do you think Lindsey would wake up in a rage if she knew we were here to pull her oxygen tube out!” he joked
Sheila glanced around, not wanting to cause more trouble at this point. “Alright, Jayden, just pull the tube out quickly Let’s leave as soon as possible”
“Why are you in such a hurry? No one else is coming here.” He looked down at Lindsey, examining her for a long while. “Ugh, how ugly she is
Lindsey felt a surge of anger. She had sacrificed half of her face in are to save Jayden, and yet he said this about her.
Rage filled her body, and to her surprise, she started to regain some strength. Lindsey suddenly opened her eyes.

Jayden jumped back, startled. He stammered, “Lindsey, you’re awake… I can
Lindsey glared at him silently.
Sheila turned around at the sound, her fingers tightly clutching the edge of her clothes. She couldn’t let her plan fail. She wanted both Jayden and Luminova. She walked over and immediately noticed the fury in Lindsey’s ey
Sheila’s expression darkened as she snapped, pulling jayden’s focus back. “Jayden, don’t just stand there. She already knows we were planning to kill her Keeping her alive is like leaving a ticking time bomb.”
Jayden, reminded by Sheila, quickly regained his composure. Lindsey’s sudden awakening had momentarily frightened him Jayden laughed at himself, who had acted like a gentleman for so long in front of Lindsey that it had become second nature.
Lindsey summoned all her strength to speak in a hoarse voice. She demanded. “Did you do it? The car accident? Why?”
She suddenly found it laughable that Sheila had never seen her as a sister.

Sheila scoffed, “Of course it was me. As for why, well, it’s simple–because I want you dead. Without you, everything in the Riley family will be
There was no trace of shame on her face, only pride. Lindsey shut her eyes for a moment before turning to Jayden. “What about you? Was everything you sold me before just a lie?“”
“Look at you now. Do you really think you deserve Jayden’s love! What man would love an ugly freak like your Lindsey, don’t you have any self- awareness?” Sheila’s tone was full of disdain and contempt.

With that, Sheila gave a firm tug, and the transparent oxygen tube slipped from Lindury’s body, falling limply to the floor. A crushing sense of suffocation hit Lindsey, and the world around her began to fade into darkness
