Chapter 1

After the video in which the imposter daughter, Evelyn Anderson, framed me was exposed, my parents and my fiancé, Jonas Hawkins, stood up for me and gave me love and support.

With an assured mind, I handed over the evidence to them, authorizing them to manage the matter in its entirety without any reservation on my part.

They told me that Evelyn had met with a fatal car accident all of a sudden right when she was being driven out of the house. And I, without a shadow of a doubt, bought the story.

It wasn't until the fifth year of my marriage that I accidentally caught sight of her, who was presumed to have perished in that car accident.

She was holding a little boy in her arms while tightly clutching Jonas' hand, saying, "Jonas, if it weren't for my parents and you, I'm afraid I would really have been tossed in jail by that ruthless woman, Renata. Lucky for me, Mom and Dad got rid of the evidence, and they even set up a jewelry studio for me. To keep her from getting suspicious, you even sacrificed your own marriage. I really appreciate you for what you've done for the past five years."

With a tender gaze fixed on the little boy, Jonas softly murmured, "Just think of it as me making up for Renata's mistakes for you. As long as you and the little one are doing okay, I can set my mind at ease."

It turned out that the family I once thought was filled with happiness was, in fact, merely an elaborate hoax jointly fabricated by my parents and Jonas.

My parents, my husband, and Evelyn were the real happy family, leaving me out completely. And I was nothing more than a fool who had been deceived for five years.

Be it family love or romantic love, if it was not the one and only, true kind of love that I was longing for, then I would rather let them go.
