Griffin , I havent forgotten anything .
You didnt eat that meal , you threw it away .
That sofa is Cora Johnsons favorite ; you always did things with her on it .
The photo was of the three of us ; you cut Cora Johnson out .
Griffin looked like he was about to cry again .
I was just … just stupid , not emotionless .
Feeling helpless , I ignored him .
I stayed in the room afterward , vomiting everything I ate and refusing to go out .
If Griffin came near , I would cry .
This place made me physically sick.
Until one night , not fully conscious , I sneaked out of the house .
I didnt know where to go , just wandered aimlessly .
But I knew someone was following me , and it wasnt Griffin .
Go to hell ! A dagger flashed past .
Nora ! Griffin found me he shielded me .
Holding his stomach , he quickly subdued the attacker before collapsing .
I was too shocked to care that Noras Father hated me so much ; I focused on supporting Griffin , trembling as I searched him for a phone .
-There wasnt one ; he was too eager to find me and hadnt brought it .
Wheres your phone ?! Why didnt you bring it ?! How am I supposed to save you ?! I yelled at him as I searched Noras Fathers phone , quickly dialing 911 and 120 .
Its okay , Nora , this life was saved by you .
Thank goodness I made it … ..
cough … cant even takesare at youraskiewks # w☀éém gone … ..
< And Noras Father would spend the rest of his life in prison .
After this incident , Griffin finally compromised .
Once discharged , we signed the divorce papers , and Griffin gave me most of his shares and assets .
On the first day of the divorce , he took me to the Johnsons .

Griffin said , the villa that had trapped me for over a decade was now mine .
What about Cora Johnson ? I asked .
The next day , Griffin took me to see Cora Johnson .
After realizing the Johnsons had been deceiving him , Griffin used some means to make them bankrupt .
Cora Johnson , without an education and no longer an heiress , only had her looks and ended up working as a bartender .
When I arrived , she was just coming out to vomit .
Nora Johnson ? She lunged at me , reeking of alcohol .
Impossible , you must be dead , no way .
Its a dream ! It must be a dream ! She waved her hands wildly , trying to leave .
Cora Johnson , why do you hate me so much ? Hate ? No , Nora .
The following day , Griffin took me to meet Cora Johnson .
After discovering that the Johnsons had been deceiving him , Griffin used his influence to bankrupt them .
Cora Johnson , having lost her status as an heiress and without any formal education , was left with nothing but her appearance .
So , she turned to bartending .
When I arrived , she was just coming out to induce vomiting .
Nora Johnson ? she exclaimed , lunging at me with the smell of alcohol on her .
Impossible , you must be dead .
How could this be ? It must be a dream ! she said , waving her hands frantically as she attempted to leave .
Cora Johnson , why do you dislike me so much ? Dislike ? No , Nora .
Its not dislike ; its hatred .
I hate you for getting the chance to save Griffin , hate you for being better than me at everything , hate you … I hate you so much , yet you were always so kind to me … I suddenly found it somewhat ironic .
The nightmares of my childhood , which I thought were burdens , were actually envied by someone , and that envy turned into hatred .
It was during a winter when I was building a snowman on the ground that a van pulled up not far away .
The van shook continuously , and I faintly heard someone inside crying for help .
I was about to be sent off to marry someone , with no say in the matter .
This seemed like a perfect opportunity to escape .
I dont know where twelve year old me found the courage , but I quietly approached the van and asked , Is anyone in there ? The van shook more vigorously and the cries for hela became cleaver 8:47 AM < Im going to get you out ! I had never been in a car , so naturally , I didnt know how to open the trunk .
Just as I picked up a large rock to smash the window , a large shadow loomed over me from behind .
Then I lost consciousness .
When I woke up , I found myself tied up with two boys .
The kidnappers were outside the van , drinking and discussing how they would exchange the two boys for money and then sell me off .
The younger boy , whose eyes were red from crying , looked at me while I leaned on his older brothers shoulder .
The brother said the kidnappers only wanted to ask their family for money and that I shouldnt have been dragged into this .
Apologize , the brother urged .
Im sorry … the crying boy said .
Its not your fault .
After all , anyone would try any means to seek help .
When the kidnappers returned to the van and fell asleep , the three of us opened our eyes as planned .
Hows your rest ? Do you have enough energy ? the older boy asked me .
Yeah , I can run .
I didnt know when the ropes on our hands had been untied .
He removed the car keys , and we took turns jumping out of the van , deflating the tires , and then started running for our lives .
Of course , it didnt take long for the kidnappers to notice we were gone .
They shouted for us to come out not far away .
Luckily , I frequented this mountain and knew it well , allowing us to evade them several times , but we never dared to stop .
My mouth tasted metallic , and our stamina was dwindling .
We clung to each other as we ran forward .
Someone must have slipped because we all fell hard to the ground.
I wasnt hurt because the brother protected me .
However , his leg seemed broken , and his head was bleeding .
