lando and I were college classmates. He fell for me the moment we met and confessed his feelings shortly after.
However, at that time, I was completely focused on my studies and had no interest in dating, so I rejected him outright.
Orlando persisted, pursuing me relentlessly for three years until I finally accepted his confession during my junior year.
In our senior year, he expressed his desire to start his own business. I gave up a high–paying job offer to support him, starting from scratch as we worked hard together.
Over ten years, his enterprise grew from a small studio with just the two of us to the large company it is today, with office space spanning hundreds of square meters.
Yet, our relationship completely fell apart.
Three years ago, the company entered a critical development phase.
During that period, Orlando frequently attended business dinners and social events, with an increasing number of young women appearing around him.
Others warned me to be vigilant, but I believed our relationship was too solid to worry about such things.

Until one day, when I saw Orlando heading to a hot spring hotel with a female employee from a client company, I finally realized something was wrong,
Sauled to talk to Orlando about it, but he refused to discuss Le matter with me.
While we were arguing over WhatsApp, Mrs. Evelyn happened
to overhear our conversation.
Mrs. Evelyn, being hot–tempered, immediately called a taxi, intending to go to the hot spring hotel to catch them in the act.
We left from different locations, but tragedy struck on the way.
Mrs. Evelyn’s taxi collided with a large truck, killing her instantly.
When Orlando learned about this, the first thing he did upon seeing me was slap me hard across the face.
He furiously demanded, “Why did you tell my mother about this? It was just normal business networking!”
“I have nothing to hide, yet you brought my mom to catch me cheating! Now she’s dead because of a car crash!”
I stood there with my hand on my cheek, silently crying, not daring to say a word in my defense.
I too believed that I was responsible for Mrs. Evelyn’s death.

After venting his anger, Orlando said through gritted teeth, “Lilith, from today on, we are enemies with a blood feud. I won’t divorce you, and I won’t let you have an easy life either!”
on after, Orlando hired more than a dozen young, beautiful female secretaries. After screening, Isabella was the one who stayed.
From then on, Orlando took Isabella everywhere he went. He bought her cars and property, treating her like a princess.
The two became inseparable, completely disregarding what others might think.
Everyone in the company could see that while Orlando and I maintained a cordial relationship on the surface, we had grown distant at heart, and his true affection was for Isabella.
In reality, I had a secret I had never revealed to Orlando.
