Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 11 Gentleness

Jasmine remembered high school well, with Zelda leading the pack in bullying her, making her life miserable.

But back then... there was Daniel to stand up for her.

She loved Daniel, and it all harkened back to that day when Zelda and a clique of girls had cornered her in the bathroom to kick her, just because her bracelet caught their envy. It was Daniel who had burst through the girls' bathroom door with a powerful kick, sweeping her away to safety.

In that moment, Daniel was a ray of light in her life.

But eventually, that light would never shine on her again.

And never again would there be anyone to rescue her from the darkness.

Perhaps this was the punishment she deserved.

She had lived the carefree life of an heiress for over twenty years, miraculously surviving a brush with death and living on borrowed time.

It felt like the Grim Reaper himself was doling out her penance.

Jasmine was born with a congenital heart defect, necessitating expensive surgery from infancy.

Her biological mother didn't have the funds and couldn't bear the thought of watching Jasmine die, so in a moment of desperation, she switched Jasmine with Serena, the intended heiress to the wealthy Wilson family.

Within the embrace of the Wilsons, Jasmine was given a second chance at life.

Jasmine knew she owed a debt to the Wilson family, and to Serena.

If her mother hadn't swapped their lives, Serena would have been the one living like a princess.

She needed to atone.

She should atone.
