Before I took the SAT, my whole family got granulocytic leukemia. Zachary was the only one who could secure the special medicine needed for their treatment.

I begged him for a long time. In the end, he agreed to find a way for me.

But he disappeared suddenly, causing my whole family to miss the best time to take medication. In the end, they all died.

The next day, his first love posted a vlog of the two of them being clingy to each other sweetly Twitter. The caption read, [Wherever you are is my home. You and I are each other's the only one.]

My friends all wanted to comfort me.

But I applauded and blessed them. I commented, [You are a perfect match, and you will be bounded together forever.]

--

I numbly dealt with the funerals of my family.

Acute leukemia and complications caused by a chemical leakage made me lose all my family members overnight.

Zachary knew how dangerous it would be once one was inflicted with such a disease.

But he chose to leave me and my family behind for his first love.

In the past six years, Eileen Solomon used countless excuses, including that she was afraid of the darkness, she was getting hurt, and she was feeling sad when watching movies from before that she wanted to see Zachary. Her excuses were getting more and more ridiculous, but she could always take Zachary away from me easily.

I didn't know what her excuse this time was, and I didn't have the energy to investigate it.

The fact that more than ten people had been deceased because of Zachary made me hate him forever.

After dealing with everything, I stood in front of their graves in a daze.

It seemed that there was a huge black hole in my heart, which nothing could fill.

I didn't know how long I had been standing there. Only after my legs became numb did I realize that I had to go home.

I packed up everything and planned to leave. Then I saw Zachary walking over with Eileen in his arms.

"Zachary, this place is so beautiful. Lucy will like it, right?"

Eileen leaned her head on his shoulder. They were intimate and ambiguous.

Zachary didn't expect I would be here. A trace of impatience naturally appeared on his face. He said, "Siena, are you being clingy again? Is it because I didn't answer your call?"

Judging from his tone, he seemed to imply that I shouldn't be here, and that I was causing trouble.

Eileen looked up. Her face turned pale. With tears on her face, she held onto Zachary's waist tighter. She pitifully said, "Siena, I'm so sorry. My dog got sick a few days ago. I was so anxious. Zachary didn't go home because he was taking care of me. Later, my dog passed away. I was devastated. Zachary took me abroad to relax myself. He didn't intentionally ignore your calls. Whenever I heard his cell phone ring, I couldn't help but cry. He did it to accommodate me."

I knew about Eileen's dog. She adopted a stray dog less than a week ago.

"So, this is the reason why Zachary abandoned me without any hesitation."

I suddenly felt it was so ironic and funny.

My whole family was waiting for a chance to survive. He mercilessly took these opportunities away from them to please his previous sweetheart.

Feeling mentally and physically exhausted, I said, "Zachary, let's break up."

During the chemical leak, the elderly and the weak family members quickly passed away due to the complications.

But my parents and my brother had a chance to survive.

According to the doctor, there was indeed a specific medicine for this disease, but it was not only expensive, but also hard to obtain. After all, it was not in abundant supply.

I cried and begged Zachary for help, asking him to think of a solution for me.

Zachary agreed.

He agreed!

Then he suddenly disappeared.

I went crazy, looking for him those days, but there was no trace of him. My family members missed the best time to take medication.

When my parents died in front of me, all the love I had for him was gone. I didn't even have any hatred against him. I was indifferent to him, and I was disgusted with him.

But Zachary thought that I was being stubborn now. He said, "Siena, can't you be as sensible as Eileen? Her dog is like family to her. When her family died, she was so sad. How can I not accompany her? I didn't answer your call. That's all. Is it necessary for you to react so strongly?"

"Can't you be as sensible as Eileen?"

"I should be as sensible as Eileen."

"Zachary always says so to me."

"Why do I have to be like her? Why do I have to be sensible in his way?"

"Zachary said they grew up together since childhood. Because of their sibling bond, they can't be separated, so I must allow Eileen to be involved in our relationship, right?"

"I can't be jealous of Eileen. I must tolerate Eileen taking all his care and love from me. I must tolerate Eileen easily taking away my lover with a phone call or a text message. I must tolerate Eileen doing all kinds of things that go beyond the boundaries between family members?"

"Fine. I'll be sensible. I won't ask him anything. I won't mind, but what do I get in return? They demand things from me and hurt me endlessly."

"I've had enough of a life like this!"

I sneered and looked at Zachary indifferently. I said, "As for what you want to do in the future and where you want to go, it has nothing to do with me anymore. From today on, we will never see each other again."

After saying that, I wanted to leave directly.

Zachary noticed that something was wrong with me. He grabbed my hand urgently and said, "Is it because your family is giving you a hard time? I can explain it to them."

Suddenly, I felt that I was indeed out of my mind to fall in love with such a person.

He wouldn't have said such absurd and foolish things if he had been willing to return my call or message, or even ask his friend about the details In these past few days.

I forcefully shook off his hand, saying, "No need!"

"For so many years, I have always been gentle, obedient, careful and well-behaved to please Zachary. I would never be cold and indifferent like I am now."

At that moment, Zachary was a bit flustered. He realized that I wasn't just saying it. He knew that I would indeed leave.

"Siena..." Zachary wanted to come up and pull me, but Eileen stopped him.

Eileen sneered at me. She said, "It was your greedy relatives who wanted more. What does it have to do with Zachary? Chemical leakage? Acute leukemia? More than ten family members of yours are inflicted with illnesses consecutively. And they need such expensive special medicine? How could such a series of coincidence happen? They are pretending to be sick, trying to cheat money out of Zachary!"

I turned back to look at Eileen in disbelief.

Eileen provocatively looked at me. She was implying that I was a gold digger.

I slapped Eileen hard across her face.

Zachary's face changed. As usual, he protected Eileen behind him. He looked guarded, saying indifferently, "Siena, apologize to Eileen!"

With my eyes red, I stared fiercely at Eileen. I said, "Watch your mouth! You're the dirty one. Don't think everyone else is as dirty as you!"

Eileen covered her face and said grievously, "What's wrong with me? Did I say something wrong? What you said is impossible in the first place, right? Zachary, don't you think so too?"

I looked at Zachary incredulously and asked, "So you also think I'm lying to you?"

Zachary didn't answer.

But I got the answer from his eyes.

"That's why he never went to the hospital. He refused to go to the ICU to witness the situation with his own eyes. Facing the photos and videos I sent him, he wasn't convinced."

"Before, I begged Zachary desperately for the special medicine. I event knelt. It turns out that he always treats me as a deceitful performer, treating me like a clown."

"Perhaps, he thinks I'm a woman, who will do anything for money, deep down."

"I've always known that Zachary looks down on me.'

"He is the heir of the Foster family and the little young master, whom everyone pampers."

I fell in love with him at first sight during a club activity at university. I chased after him for four years.

I inquired about his preferences and changed my style. Knowing that he liked obedient and docile women, I acted humbly, followed the rules he set up for me, and took care of him in every way. I was so submissive.

Later, I met Eileen. Only then did realize that Zachary allowed others to break all his rules.

"Eileen can act cute and be willful. She can hug him and be naughty whenever she wants. She can directly express her dislikes. She can get angry if she doesn't want to do something."

"No matter what she does, he will compromise and spoil her unconditionally."

"She does everything that I desire, I expect, and I am not allowed to do, so naturally."

After being with Eileen for six years, I feel like I was just someone with the title of Zachary's girlfriend.

"I long to do things that other couples do, including being affectionate and hugging each other. He criticizes me for the simplest act of holding hands. He reminds me being clear about my position."

"My position? So I, his girlfriend, am so insignificant that I am not allowed to hold his hands, right?"

"In the eyes of others, Eileen is the one he cherishes and dotes on."

"He takes Eileen to various gatherings, helps her integrate to his social circle, and introduces her to everyone."

"But I never love him for his money. I am gentle, and I make compromise. I do so to get equal treatment I want from the man I love."

"But he thinks so poorly of me.'

I looked at Zachary with extreme disappointment.

"This is the man I have been in love with for ten years. I must have been so love-struck that I beautify him into a god!"

Eileen covered her face and said, "Zachary, please help me have a check. My face hurts so much! Is it swollen? Ouch, why is Siena so mean to me?"

Zachary immediately turned around to look at her.

I hadn't eaten much these days. After all. I had been busy with the funeral. I didn't exert much force while slapping her. Eileen's face was a little red. There wouldn't be any other problems.

Zachary had always put Eileen first. He was extremely nervous at the sight of any red marks on her face.

Zachary's face changed. He said, "Siena! Apologize! Right now! Don't make me angry!"

"Will he be angry? I used to be afraid of Zachary getting angry, fearing that he would ignore me and leave me."

"Now his emotions no longer mattered to me."

"No. We have broken up, Zachary. You have no right to order me." I sneered and turned around to leave.

"If they want to continue a love drama, whatever. I'm too lazy to care about them."

"You!" Zachary stepped forward to grab me, but Eileen pulled him back.

She realized that Zachary might contact me again if we continue to be deadlocked.

Eileen acted coquettishly, saying, "I'm fine, Zachary. We need to bury Lucy first. I think this place is good. Let's bury her here."
