The Heiress's Comeback

Being adored by one's parents and hoping to achieve something that could bring them happiness, a child sacrificed their carefree personality and chose the path of books and knowledge at an early age. Without looking back to see how those they thought were their parents were, in truth, only pushing them from behind. Esme, a prodigy from an early age, excelled in everything, unlike her sister, who, though adored by both parents, always lagged behind. Finally, after saving the company from debts and restoring it to its former glory, Esme looked back at her parents in hope of recognition but... "You are not even my daughter, you pathetic fool." "Hehe, Sister, how about I take your fiancé?" "Um, you see, Esme, I love your sister." "Tch, insect, how dare you reject checks whenever I, your mother, asked for money!" Those words lingered in Esme's mind before she lost consciousness and woke up inside a prison. "What are you doing here, Aron?" Esme looked at a handsome young man seated in a wheelchair, gazing at her with amusement. He was her sole business competitor, and now, he was visiting her in prison. "Nothing, just came here for a proposal, Miss Esme..." Let's see what awaits the journey of an heiress who was wrongly accused of being fake, betrayed by her fiancé, and had to seek support from her business rivals.

[Volume 1] Chapter 155- Not possible.

Esme stared at him, her heart giving a quiet tug at the sight. He must have been awake for hours, maybe days, his body finally giving into exhaustion.

She turned her eyes to the ceiling for a moment, drawing in a slow breath, but the action sent a sharp pain down her arm. Wincing, Esme instinctively raised her hand to inspect the discomfort, and there it was—the familiar tug of the IV needle, embedded in her skin, its purpose clear.

She knew this pain well; it had become as routine as breathing. How many times had she been hooked up to these machines, these sterile lines delivering life-saving fluids into her veins?

The beeping of the machines hummed in her ears as she turned her attention back to Ray. He didn't stir.

Exhaustion had claimed him, and it made her heart ache a little more to see him like this—vulnerable, having pushed himself beyond his limits for her. She couldn't even imagine how many nights he had stayed by her side.
