They threatened to demolish the orphanage, forcing the young me to bow my head and compromise. But I was unwilling to give up my dream.

When the contract was about to expire, I took the exam without telling anyone. I wanted to break into a new world with my own efforts.

Now, eight years had passed. No one could cut off my wings.

I quickly packed my few luggage.

When I was about to leave, I bumped into Sonny who had just returned home. Behind him was a girl with delicate makeup.

It was the new star Kenzie. She was young and beautiful, with a pair of almond eyes like Jennie.

Sonny took her hand and glanced at my suitcase lightly.

"Where are you going? Is lunch ready? Have you checked Stephan's homework carefully?"

Without waiting for my answer, Stephan couldn't wait to throw himself into Kenzie's arms.

"Aunt Kenzie, you're finally here. I missed you so much. You don't know how painful it is for me to be with a nagging old woman every day. Can you take me to eat ice cream?"

Sonny rubbed Stephan's head. He turned around and handed me a wad of money. "Kenzie and I have something to do. You go buy it."

"By the way, buy two more boxes of condoms. Kenzie is still young and taking medicine is not good for her health." He ordered me coldly.

I had been taking those contraceptives that were not good for the body for eight years. Even if I just had a miscarriage, I couldn't get any sympathy from him. After eight years. Not only was I not as good as Jennie. I was also not as good as a substitute who was only three-quarters similar to her.

This time, I didn’t want to endure Sonny's humiliation.

"Mr. Monroe, the contract has expired. I'm leaving," I said clearly.

Sonny's hand holding the money was suspended in the air.

This was the first time I disobeyed his instructions. His face sank. He raised his hand and threw the money in my face. The sharp banknotes cut a tiny wound on my face, oozing out a little blood.

"Meredith, what qualifications do you have to refuse me? Do you believe that I can demolish the orphanage where you grew up with just one word?"

I shrugged. "Whatever, I don't care."

The old director who raised me passed away last year.

At that time, I begged Sonny to allow me to see her for the last time.

But he frowned and looked at me, "I don't agree, you have to stay at home to take care of the children. If you go, you will only bring those poor and unlucky things to the Monroe Family."

I tried to sneak away, but I was locked up by Sonny in a dark house. There was no light in the narrow black house. For three whole days, there was no one to bring me water. The only thing that accompanied me was the laughter of Stephan and the servants of the Monroe Family.

And in these eight years, my playmates in the orphanage had grown up one after another. They realized their dreams and shone in their favorite fields. Only I was trapped in this loveless home. Become Stephan's nanny, become Sonny's plaything.

Now, the contract expired. The indifference and ruthlessness of the father and son had completely cut off my last concern.

I would be like that unexpected child. Forever, forever. Leave the Monroe Family forever and ever.

I carried my suitcase and strode forward.

Sonny suddenly reached out and pulled me into his arms. He seemed to be trying his best to restrain the anger in his heart. And very rarely, he took a step back.

"Meredith, stay, I will give you everything you want." He pleaded.

"Think about it, haven't I been good enough to you all these years? No matter how many women tried their best to please me, I never let anyone replace you."

Over the years, Sonny had been surrounded by lovers. He would take them to social places and take them to travel. Sometimes, on a whim, he would bring them home.

But these women, without exception. All of them could not stand Sonny's capriciousness and Stephan's stubbornness and willfulness. No one would take care of everything as carefully and properly as I did.

So, Sonny made me Mrs. Monroe. Not because of love. But as a businessman, the choice after weighing the pros and cons.

I rejected Sonny's hug. I said seriously and firmly, "Mr. Monroe, you forgot. All I want, from beginning to end, is only achieve my dreams and freedom."

I was reluctant to come to the Monroe Family. But I had no choice. For the old dean who was kind to me and for my friends to achieve their dreams. I could only work diligently and conscientiously to complete my job.

Now, I had no worries. I just wanted to pursue my unfinished dream.

"Meredith, you are really... ungrateful!" Sonny ran out of patience and pushed me away angrily.

I bumped into the relief mural behind me and hadn't recovered from the pain yet.

I heard Sonny say coldly, "You can leave, but you can't take anything from the Monroe Family."

"Come on, take off her clothes!" The housekeeper standing by walked towards me with ill intentions.

Faced with such humiliation, I made up my mind and simply took off my coat myself. When I took off the last piece, the veins on Sonny's forehead had already popped out.

He threw the vase next to him and roared loudly. "Get out!"

Then, he hugged Kenzie and went into the master bedroom without looking back. Soon, the woman's charming cry came from the room.

Stephan stepped hard on my clothes. "Bitch, who are you trying to show off to? I won't let you destroy Dad and Aunt Kenzie."

I looked at him puzzled, "Do you like Kenzie so much?"

Stephan glared at me fiercely. "Yes, if it wasn't for her, how would I know that you killed my mother! You mistress, you pissed my mother off to death just to get promoted, I hate you, I hate you!"

I looked at Stephan's chubby little face and sighed softly.

As an orphan, I knew better than anyone that how pitiful a mother's child was.

So, I tried my best to make Stephan happy. When he did something wrong, I took the punishment for him. When he was wronged, I stood up for him. Every drink, every meal, every tea, every meal. I wish I could think of everything for him.

Unfortunately, my true love was misplaced. Eight years of care. No match for the provocation of a few words false accusation from outsiders.

"Stephan, you disappoint me so much," I said almost with trembling voice.

"Who cares what you think, anyway, I just want Aunt Kenzie to be my mother!" he shouted at me.

Some things, perhaps only when you grow up could you understand. But I had no obligation to teach him the principles of life. From now on, I would never come back. No matter who became Mrs. Monroe, it had nothing to do with me.

I wanted to regain my dream eight years ago. I wanted to be like what I had been looking forward to since I was a child. Flying freely between heaven and earth in a plane.

I strode out of the door of the Monroe Family.

When I walked to the side of the road, Stephan suddenly rushed over and pushed me to the ground.

At the same time, a speeding car was speeding towards me.

Bang——
