Love Has Faded, We’ll Never Meet AgainChapter 1
On the eve of my wedding, I was kidnapped, humiliated and tortured for two whole days and nights.
When I was finally ransomed back, the doctor told me I might never be able to have children again. My wealthy fiancé immediately turned around and married the switched heiress, Camila Reyes.
Rumors spread like wildfire. I fell into deep depression and attempted to end my life by jumping into the river.
As I was on the brink of death, my fiancé’s younger brother, Tomas Graciani, plunged into the freezing water to save me, nearly drowning himself in the process.
When Tomas regained consciousness, he confessed his love for me—saying he loved me more than his own life. He wanted to marry me, to take care of me forever.
Deeply moved, I accepted his proposal.
Two years into our marriage, I was stunned to discover I was pregnant. Overcome with joy, I hurried to share the news with him.
Just as I was about to share my happiness, I overheard his conversation with my parents.
"Back then, Camila lost her mind and hired people to kidnap Samantha. Thankfully, you paid a hefty sum to silence them and protect Camila. And you even married Samantha, who can’t have children..."
"We’ve thought it through. We can’t let the family line end with you! Camila’s first child will be the rightful heir, but the second heir should come from you."
Tomas’s voice was low and heavy. "That won’t be necessary. This way, Camila and my brother’s child will be the sole heir to the family business. As long as Camila is happy, that’s enough for me."
"And Samantha... I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to her."

"Good girl, I know this has been hard on you. If it weren’t for you, the Reyes Family's reputation would have been completely ruined."
"I know this is unfair to Samantha, but this is the best solution we have..."
A chill ran through me, my whole body trembling.
So the one who had kidnapped and tortured me back then… was my own sister—the switched heiress, Camila!
I thought Tomas had saved me out of love, that he had pulled me back from the edge of despair—only to realize it was all just to cover up her crimes.
My biological parents too… they had chosen to sacrifice me to protect their precious family name.
I covered my mouth, holding back my sobs, too afraid to make a sound.
