Ribbons Unbound: My Fiancé's Lingering Regret novel Chapter 95

I grew up in an orphanage with Wade and Trevor. We swore that we would stay together for the rest of our lives.       

But then, when Freya came into our lives, they conveniently forgot all about me. 

When Freya's nuts caused me a severe allergic reaction that nearly killed me, they didn't even blame her.

Later, she pretended to care about me. Claiming to be worried that I might also be allergic to the roses, threw away the ones I had taken care of for many years.

Instead of defending me, they laughed and indulged her.   

That was the moment I gave up on them. 

I picked up the phone and called my billionaire father. "Dad, I've decided to come back and inherit the family business. Please cancel the investments in those two ungrateful people."

My father's voice on the other end was jubilant. "Aurora, you've finally come to your senses. Staying with those two paupers was never a good idea." 

I nodded silently.

In the past, I would have leaped to their defense whenever my father called them paupers. But now, I couldn't care less.

I once believed we would always be together. In our childhood, Wade, Trevor, and I met in the orphanage. No one wanted us, so we can only lean on each other for survival.

The orphanage was cold and harsh. During the winter, the three of us shared one small bed, bundling under all the blankets we had to stay warm.

But then, Freya appeared. They decided she was more pitiable than I ever was—a purer, kinder soul.

What a joke!

The people I thought would face any hardship with me were charmed by a stranger. I didn't want to argue anymore. But I did make up my mind—I would take back everything I gave them.

"Dad, I've booked a flight home. Let's pull the investment from Luxway," I said.

Sensing my resolve, my father simply replied, "Okay."

I wondered: once Wade and Trevor returned to being penniless, would their beloved Freya still care about them?
