The news hit Lilian like a sack of bricks.
Horrified at the amount of faith she had in Jack, she recalled how she had vouched for him with her and
her unborn child's life, and the promise she made to her father.
As it was her misguided trust in Jack that had cost her father's life, she had become the sinner in her
own family.
Lilian did not dare face her uncles as she felt unworthy to apologize to them, though she did fulfill her
vow and drove herself out into traffic with purposeful recklessness. However, she awoke to find herself
in the hospital.
Though she had lost her child and her legs, she was still alive.
Lilian attempted many times to slit her wrist and her throat after that, but the doctors came to her

He treated her and cared for her the same as he always did. Though he spoke at length, not a word
registered with Lilian until...
“Did you know that your father had plans for you the whole time?” he drawled, in his elegant, steady
pace. “The child isn't mine. Your family places a great deal of importance on their bloodline, as you very
well know. Your father only approved of our marriage for my brains to handle the company, and also to
keep things from you. He found out what a filthy mixed breed I am after investigating my parents. How
would he allow me to taint the purity of the Helt family's royal blood? Your father's plans for you suited
me just fine as I've never loved you anyway.”
Jack touched his heart, the blazing flame of passion alight in his eyes. “A girl who I love very much
lives here. She is my light. I have to become rich and famous to find her. I want to be her rock so
nobody would ever hurt her.”

large families and even within themselves.
Lilian had thought that it was Jack's qualities that impressed her father when he agreed to their
marriage. It turned out that her father looked down on Jack, after all, and was plotting something
against her behind her back.

At that moment, upon feeling the full sting of betrayal from her family and lover, Lilian grabbed
everything within reach to hurl at Jack as she let loose screams of fury.
Jack stood where he was and allowed her to vent her anger.

the broken pieces of glass on the floor.
In another attempt at suicide, she grabbed a shard of glass to shove into her mouth but Jack was quick
to stop her. He grabbed her wrist that was holding the shard and snapped it before lifting her back onto
the bed as he called for medical assistance.
During her extended stay in the hospital lasting several more months, she learned from the news that
Jack had plans to shoot a movie.
Upon watching the movie after its release, she realized that Jack was telling the story of his relationship
on the silver screen. He reiterated with the film the intense love he had for his girl and his hope that she
would one day find him.
Meanwhile, Jack was given a wide berth at the company by the Helts as they were wary of his cruelty.
Upon her complete recovery, Lilian suddenly did not wish to die.
Hell-bent on giving Jack a taste of her misery, she took the initiative to divorce him and began planning
in secret with the ten billion in compensation she had gotten from him.
