Chapter 0101

When Emily had previously shared news of her engagement to Oliver, basking in her own joy, Violet felt nothing more than heartache and sorrow.

Yet, at this moment, her emotions were indescribable, as if the very essence of her being had shattered. Each part of her dissolving into nothingness, vanishing from existence,

Patrick, being her father, should have shown equal affection to both his daughters. Yet, it was evident that his warmth and affection were reserved only for Emily.
