At that time, holding his admission letter, he proudly said to me, “Savannah, I love you.”
“I will spend my whole life loving you and keeping you safe.”
“To give you everything you want.”
Draco didn’t go back on his word.
During the years we were together, he did everything he could to live up to that promise.
I enjoyed looking at the stars, so he built a small observatory just for me.
If I wanted ice cream, he would run across ten streets to buy it for me.
At the Conrad house, and when I was with Draco, I could almost say that I had anything I asked for.
Even if I wanted the moon in the sky, he would still find a way to bring it down for me.
Back then, we were both young and believed that love could survive every test of time.
We never thought that life could change without warning.
Just one Ravena was enough to completely break apart our relationship.
Ravena was the daughter of the house helper, Aunt Wendy.
During vacations, she came to the Conrad house to help with chores.
She would on purpose damage my belongings and pretend to accidentally burn my clothes.
When I became angry, she would run to Draco in tears, talking about how difficult her life was.
The child who cried would get sweets.
A woman who cried gained sympathy.
In wave after wave of tears, Draco’s heart slowly shifted toward her.
What truly made me break down was the night before our engagement.
That day, Draco told me he wanted to get something ready for me as a surprise.
Feeling curious, I quietly went back to the house, only to see Ravena stepping out of Draco’s bedroom, her clothes messy.
When she noticed me, she not only gave no explanation at all, but she instead harshly threw the keepsake my mother had left me onto the floor.
“Savannah, stop acting like some proper young miss in front of me. Everyone knows you’re just someone living off the Conrad family.”
“Who will end up as the future woman of the Conrad household is still not decided!”
I was angry and yelled at her to leave, but instead, she ran to Draco, crying.
She claimed that I had always bullied her and Aunt Wendy in every way possible.
And that now, because I was about to marry Draco, I was trying to push their whole family into a corner with no way out.
That Draco, who once promised he would always agree with me and stand by my side, just like that, chose to believe everything she said.
