I am in the Kingston Family's unpopular arranged marriage.

But after the Kingston Family lost power, they entrusted the only hope of the Kingston Family to me.

To repay my gratitude, I took Alexander King to many places and raised him without any effort.

On the day when Kingston Family returned to its peak, Alexander pushed me against the wall and demanded me fiercely.

He said: "Sister, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what the Kingston Group would mean to me."

But later, at the Kingston Group celebration party, he brought another girl to me.

"Sister, Vivianand I are planning to get married, and we hope that you can take care of the wedding for us."

I agreed with a smile, but turned around and made an appointment for an abortion at the hospital.

I think it's time for me to leave!

I had just shoveled the jasmine on the balcony when Alexander came back.

This pot of jasmine was given to me by him before he went abroad.

He said I am most like Jasmine, seemingly weak but actually strong!

But that's because he's never seen my vulnerable side.

Just like now, he hugged me from behind, closest to me, but he never noticed the tears on my face.

The smell of alcohol mixed with high-end perfume filled my nose, and he rubbed it against my ear.

"Sister, why did you leave early? Are you mad at me, huh?"

I didn't respond, for fear that if I opened my mouth, I would reveal my resentment.

He chuckled and tightened his hold on me.

"Sister, please don't be mad at me, okay?"

"You know, I'm doing this for the Kingston Group. The Kingston Group has just gained a foothold, and I can only consolidate the position of the Kingston Group by marrying the Archer Family."

"You can understand me, right, sister?"

My eyes were filled with soreness, I looked up at the stars in the sky and asked softly.

"Alexander, what have I been to you all this time?"

I don't know if Alexander heard me.

Just a moment later, his shoulders suddenly sank and his head completely tilted on them.

I stood on the balcony in this posture for a long time.

It was not until the night wind began to rise that I turned around, skillfully carried him on my shoulders, and helped him back to the room.

After I tucked in the quilt for him and was about to leave, he suddenly pulled me into his arms and muttered in his sleep.

"Sister, you won't leave me, right?"

For the first time, I fell silent on this question.

I am an orphan. From the day I was brought back to the Kingston Family, I knew that I would be Alexander's wife in the future.

I have been with him in Kingston Family for eight years.

Later, something happened to the Kingston Family, and we depended on each other for another five years.

Excluding the five years he was abroad, I was with him for a total of seventeen years.

Before today, I also thought that I would never leave him in my life.

But Alexander, you are getting married, and the bride is not me.

In the future, what identity should I use to stay by your side?

If there is nothing wrong between us, I can still call you sister with confidence.

But there are no ifs in this world!

After crawling out of Alexander's arms, I lost all desire to sleep.

Opening the study, the walls were covered with photos of them cuddling together.

I took down all the photos one by one, even the ones in his desk drawer.

I've raised him for more than ten years, and now he has found someone better. How could I have the heart to ruin it?

As my finger touched the mouse, the screen lit up, and a beautiful couple ring design appeared on the screen.

It was the wedding ring he designed for me to propose to me.

I have secretly seen this wedding ring more than once, and my heart was as happy as a young girl.

Today, the letters on the women's diamond ring have been changed to Vivian Archer.

The night outside the window is as dark as ink, with wind and rain blowing.

I threw the last photo into the cardboard box and sat on the bay window with my knees hugged.

I opened the tablet out of habit, and an unfinished wedding dress design came into view.

I designed it for our wedding.

After nearly two years of revisions, I still feel that there are some flaws.

Now that I can’t wear it, I’ve made up for this regret.

Without any hesitation, I dragged the design into the trash can.

It's like deleting this unequal relationship!

I moved out of the villa.

In the Kingston Family old house, only Uncle Jack and I were together.

I was lying in a rocking chair to enjoy the cool air when Alexander came over.

He squatted beside me helplessly, "It's been two days, and your anger has subsided. Can you come back with me?"

I opened my eyes and looked at Alexander, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Alexander, I've raised you for ten years. When have I ever fought with you?"

Alexander's face froze and he seemed to be about to say something but stopped.

I thought about it and felt that it was necessary to explain things to him clearly.

"Alexander, I'm moving out not because I'm angry with you, but because we are no longer suitable to live together."

"In two days, I will go to the company to hand in my resignation, and wait until you have finished your wedding..."

“That’s enough!”

Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by Alexander's sharp shout.

He stood up with a livid face, his brows concealing anger.

"You're still saying you're not making trouble?"

"It's just a wedding, do you have to be so fussy about it?"

"I can't marry you anyway, so it doesn't matter who I marry. What's more, the Archer Family can help us gain a foothold. Why can't you figure it out?"

After he said that, he turned around and left, as if he was angry.

But I couldn't recover for a long time because of his last words.

He said, I can’t marry you anyway…

But on that rainy night two years ago, when he drunkenly pushed me against the wall, he said it clearly.

"Sister, will you marry me?"

At that time, I was shocked.

Before I could answer, his warm lips moved all the way down from my brow and bit my lips fiercely.

"Don't you want to, sister?"

I gasped and used almost all my strength to push him away.

"Alexander, you are drunk..."

He looked at me with tears in his eyes and an extremely aggrieved look.

"I'm not drunk."

"Sister, don't you like me?"

My throat was rolling and I didn't know how to respond to him.

He burst into tears out of grievance.

"Sister, promise me, okay?"

"You know, without you, I would never have been able to make it through all these years."

"Sister, if you are not with me for the rest of my life, what is the point of me guarding Kingston Group?!"

The hot tears slid from my neck into my chest, burning away the last bit of my rationality.

I pressed against his chest in my last struggle, "Alexander, you need to think clearly. Your current identity is different. You have better choices."

"I don't want it. For me, my sister is the best choice!"

All my defenses collapsed in the face of his passionate vows.

But now, he said that he couldn't marry me...

I couldn't stop laughing, but it choked and tears flowed.

When he sent me a text message, I could feel its ferocity even through the screen.

[You want to resign? That's fine. Vivian just wants to take over a position in the company. Don't wait two days. Come tomorrow and vacate the position as soon as possible.]

I can't go.

He doesn't know that I just had a painless abortion this morning and the doctor told me to stay in bed for five days.

As if to deliberately piss me off, Alexander added Vivian to the work group the next day.

【Meet the new design director. 】

After Vivian introduced herself gracefully, the HR manager asked cautiously: [What about Director Serena? ]

Alexander didn't say anything, and the group fell into deathly silence.

Vivian stepped in to smooth things over, "Director Serena has to go to Santorini Island to help us set up the wedding venue, so I will take over the work for the time being. Please give me your guidance in the future!"

His lively personality livens up the work group.

But when I looked at the line of words, I sighed helplessly.

Vivian's words lifted me up.

If I quit at this time, it would be like a slap in Vivian's face; secondly, it would easily make people guess that Alexander and I had a disagreement.

After staring at the screen for a while, I set the message to do not disturb.

Then like Vivian said, I will quit after I organize this wedding for them!

Five days later, after saying hello to Uncle Jack, I flew to Santorini Island.

Santorini Island is very beautiful, which made me feel much better.

I found a team and confirmed with Vivian about the layout and arrangement of the wedding venue.

Vivian is also very easy to talk to and communicates with me promptly when I have any questions.

Everything is so harmonious!

Until one night, Vivian excitedly sent a wedding dress design.

[Sister, this is the wedding dress Alexander designed for me. Does it look good? ]

When I clicked on the picture, it was the latest version of my wedding dress design.

But I had clearly deleted the design drawing... I suddenly remembered that I had sent the version that I thought was the best to Alexander.

An unprecedented rage was roaring in my chest.

I picked up my phone and quickly dialed Alexander's number.

The phone rang for a long time and was finally picked up when it was about to hang up automatically.

Before I could say anything, Alexander's lazy voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

"What?"

I paused, trying hard to suppress the trembling in my voice before speaking.

"Alexander, why did you give Vivian the design of that wedding dress?"

Alexander was silent for a moment, then said indifferently, "What does it matter? You won't be able to use it anyway."

I gritted my teeth and showed emotion in front of Alexander for the first time.

"That's not a reason for you to take my things and give them away."

"Alexander, that design is mine. Have you ever thought about what Vivian would do if she knew the meaning behind this wedding dress?"

After a long silence, Alexander's voice gradually became colder.

"Then don't let her know."

"Unless you want to ruin this wedding!"

The call was hung up.

I opened my mouth and for the first time felt that the boy whom I had raised for ten years had become so strange!

He can give away the product of our past love, or threaten me with a clear conscience...

The day before the wedding, Alexander and Vivian flew over.

It was also the first time for me to see the wedding dress I designed being made into a finished product.

It is beautiful, even more beautiful than I had imagined.

Vivian took my hand and asked me to accompany her to try on wedding dresses.

I have no reason to refuse.

But after entering the dressing room, her expression suddenly changed.

She shook off my hand, took the scissors, and cut the wedding dress into pieces frantically.

I was stunned for a moment and was about to stop her, but she kicked over the stool, slapped herself hard, and lay on the ground.

Before I could react, the dressing room door was kicked open.
