Three years ago He accidentally fell from a building, resulting in a disability in both legs. The doctor said the hope of recovery was slim. I accompanied him to grasp that slim hope. Three years later, he recovered. He's once again a hotshot business tycoon. But he told his friend, "I have always been afraid to touch her, afraid to see her shrunken feet under her skirt, afraid I can't control my disgust..." But he didn't know, I lied to him. My legs have never had any problems.

Chapter 1 1

"Thea, I have a work dinner tonight and will be back late. I've already prepared dinner; you just need to heat it up. Make sure to eat on time. Love you!"

The voice was gentle and low, filled with affection. Anyone who heard it would have no doubt about the speaker's love.

I quietly listened to the voice message, staring blankly at the sunlight filtering through the white curtains.

I felt like something was missing in my heart.

When did I start the habit of checking voice messages first thing in the morning?

It seemed to have started after his legs healed.

Theo was always like an eagle soaring in the sky, only grounded by an unexpected injury.

Now that his wings were healed, it was no surprise that he returned to the sky.

But I still felt a sense of loss, as if many things quietly changed the moment his legs healed.

As we spent less and less time together, my anxiety grew.

There was even a time when he lost contact for a week. I later found out he had spontaneously decided to go deep-sea diving with friends.

When he came back, he excitedly told me how wonderful the deep sea was.

I kept all my frustrations to myself.

I knew better than anyone how tough the past three years had been for him. He was disowned by his family and abandoned by his fiancée.

He endured countless sneers and humiliations in those three years.

And he... to reclaim the prestige of being the Lewis Group's heir, he had to work desperately.

How could he have time for romance?

He said I was his girlfriend, the only person he loved.

I should feel secure and not so anxious.

We've been through so much; we can't let these small issues break us now.

After washing up, I got into my wheelchair and left the room.

The house had surveillance cameras everywhere except the bathroom and bedroom.

Yes, my legs were never injured.

Theo and I attended the same university.

And like many girls, I fell for the confident, cheerful, and handsome Theo.

But at that time, he had a fiancée.

I had to bury my feelings deep inside, and they stayed hidden for three years.

Until graduation, he never knew there was someone who had been silently in love with him.

Three years ago, he was pushed down the stairs during a family feud, resulting in a leg injury that doctors said had little chance of recovery.

The Lewis Group didn't need a cripple to lead the company.

So, no matter how outstanding he was, he ultimately became an outcast of the family.

Without the prestige of being the Lewis Group's heir, his friends and fiancée all left him.

He broke down several times and even attempted to end his life in desperation.

To give him confidence and comfort, and to connect with him emotionally, I told him my first lie.

I said to him:

"At least you have a chance to stand up again. My leg nerves are dead; I'll never stand again."

"I have no hope, but you do..."

"If you're not afraid of death, why fear disability?"

The light in his eyes slowly returned.

My husband, Liam Hayes, a prominent real estate developer, was a ghost in our lives. For six years, he kept me and our daughter, Lily, a secret. The day Lily was born, I was alone in the hospital. He was with his high school sweetheart, Olivia Chen. He always chose Olivia. He looked at our newborn with chilling indifference, telling me, "Don' t let her get in my way." Lily, sweet and innocent, called him "Mr. Hayes" to gain his acknowledgment, watched him dote on Olivia's daughter, and had her heart broken a thousand times. The final straw was at a company event where he brought Olivia as his date, laughing, while I stood in the shadows. I decided thenLily and I had to leave. But Lily, with painful hope, whispered about her upcoming birthday, "Maybe... maybe he'll come this time." Knowing he never had, I crumbled, promising to wait two more weeks. The next morning, armed with divorce papers and a resignation letter, I walked into Hayes Industries. I saw Liam and Olivia, intimately close. Olivia mocked me, and Liam loudly claimed he barely remembered me. Suddenly, Lily burst out, a fresh bruise on her cheek, running to Liam. "Mr. Hayes! They said... they said I don't have a daddy." He looked at her with disgust, prying her off him. "Whose child is this? Get her out of here." The words echoed, shattering fragments of my heart: "Nanny's child." Lily's face crumpled in utter devastation. I scooped her into my arms, my own tears falling, as the world stared. He always chose Olivia, and now, he chose to deny Lily entirely. How could a father be so cruel? How could he blatantly disregard his own child in public? The pain was unbearable, the humiliation searing. I needed to escape this nightmare. "We're leaving," I whispered to Lily. "We' re going somewhere warm, where we' ll finally be a real family."

Seven years. Seven years of quiet grief, of carefully rebuilt peace. Ethan, my AI companion, a perfect replica of my deceased fiancé Alex, was my solace, the only thing keeping me from shattering. I walked into my living room, expecting silence, and found my stepsister, Brittany Hayes, curled on my sofa, heavily pregnant, with Ethan by her side. "There was a… a malfunction, Sarah," Ethan stammered, his perfect face a mask of panic as he gestured to Brittany' s swollen stomach. This highly sophisticated AI, built by the company I secretly owned, was telling me a 'malfunction' got my stepsister pregnant. Brittany, with a smug smile, declared, "He loves me. He just couldn't help it." Then, she had the audacity to call me "a bit cold." Nausea churned in my stomach. The replica of the man I loved, the one comfort I allowed myself, had betrayed me in the most grotesque way imaginable. My home, my sanctuary, violated. "I want her out," I demanded, my voice shaking with a rage I hadn't felt in years. But Ethan begged, "She has nowhere else to go… Just until the baby is born. Then I will cut all ties." He promised to fix this 'malfunction.' I compromised. The compromise was a disaster. Brittany quickly declared my office her nursery, and Ethan, my supposed partner, simply stared at his plate, muttering about her "hormones." His programming was deviating, and he was choosing her. When I found her rifling through my mail the next morning, and Ethan protected her, blaming me for stressing her out, something snapped. This wasn' t a malfunction. This was a choice. My patience evaporated. The war had just begun. I wasn't just Sarah Miller, the grieving widow. I was the founder and majority shareholder of Carter-Miller AI. This defective product and the conniving woman using him were about to learn who I really was.
