The Lies of Marriage, The Price of Love Chapter 1
In the second year of her relationship with her boyfriend, Dave Ferdinand, Kate discovered he was cheating on her.
The person he was cheating with was none other than her sister.
Even though they had both been adopted into the family, everyone doted on her sister more.
Even her own husband would abandon her in the hospital to go find that woman.
Kate's heart turned to ashes. She secretly purchased a yacht without anyone knowing.
On the day of their wedding, she left and presented them with a grand gift.
"Congratulations to my sister on her wedding."
***
"Miss, this yacht is on par with the Titanic back in its day. It's the latest model, fully equipped and comes with round-the-clock service."
Kate's eyelashes fluttered as her gaze rested on the model in front of her. "Once I get on the ship, can I leave everything here behind?"
The service attendant's enthusiasm instantly surged. "Absolutely! You can sail it wherever you want. The ship has everything you could possibly need and you might never even need to step off it for the rest of your life. Plus, there's even…"
Kate interrupted him indifferently, pointing with her finger. "I'll take this one."
The attendant beamed with joy. "Got it! It’ll take a week to deliver this yacht, so you’ll need to wait a little while. If you’re planning to move aboard right away, you’ll also need to prepare properly."
Kate glanced at the card handed over by the attendant and smoothly slipped it into her bag.
Before leaving, she reminded the attendant, "I don't want anyone else to know about this."
Only after receiving a satisfactory response did she leave.
Kate had made up her mind—to go to a place where no one could ever find her, never to return. After much thought, the yacht seemed like the perfect choice.
After all, they would never suspect that she planned to hide at sea for the rest of her life.
This time, she decided not to bring anyone along.
At that moment, Kate's phone rang and Dave's name appeared on the screen.
"Darling, don't forget that today is the family dinner. Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
Hearing the concern in his voice, Kate only felt nauseated.
Not long ago, she had accidentally seen Dave's phone and discovered the truth—he had always been in love with her younger sister, Leona.
For an entire year, he had spent all his effort trying to make Kate happy.
He would show up whenever she needed him, providing her with a sense of security. Even on an ordinary day, he would create moments of ceremony just for her.
Even after being rejected 99 times when confessing his feelings, he never lost his enthusiasm.
He would promise her that his sincerity would eventually win her over.
But Kate never imagined that the person who seemed to love her so deeply actually harbored feelings for another woman.
She mocked her own two years of dedication, realizing it had all been a joke.
Kate couldn’t muster the slightest interest. If Dave hadn’t reminded her, she would have completely forgotten that today was the monthly family dinner—a day that always left her feeling miserable.
Her tone was indifferent.
"No need, I’ll go by myself."
Without hesitation, she hung up the phone.
By the time Kate arrived, the sky was already dark. Everyone at the table cast cold, judgmental gazes at her—especially her sister, Leona.
Before Kate could explain, Leona spoke up first. "Kate, don’t you know we’ve all been waiting just for you?”
“Coming in and out of home, how could you not even learn basic manners? You’re about to get married, what will you do in the future?"
Kate looked up at her parents, but their expressions toward her remained cold and indifferent.
She couldn’t understand. Weren’t they both children brought back by their parents together?
