“I bet you still don’t know…” Sharon tilted Charlotte’s chin with her knife and sniggered. “that the Nacht
family has found your replacement. Your face in your wedding photos has been photoshopped into
someone else’s.”
“W-What?”
A feeling of déjà vu knocked Charlotte numb. Her eyes opened wide, watching her nightmare become
a reality.
“The news of Zachary’s wedding is all over the media. There are video clips of the wedding reception,
but you’re no longer the bride. Here, see for yourself.” Sharon whipped out her phone and passed it to
Charlotte.
Charlotte’s jaw dropped when she saw the headline: Zachary Nacht, President of Divine Corporation,
held a low-key wedding ceremony. The bride was the daughter of Synder Group’s Chairman.

“You did this?” Charlotte looked up at Sharon.
“Of course not. Do you think I’d be here if it were me?.” Sharon let out a bitter grin.
“The woman is Cynthia Blackwood, my stepsister. The Nacht family is substituting her for you. She’s
the ideal marionette that can never talk back!”
Charlotte was in a fret as she clicked the video link in the news article.
The video flaunted scenes of her wedding with Zachary. But one thing was off—her face had been
replaced by someone else’s.
One of the scenes showed a child propping up a ring and said, “Your ring, Mommy.” However, the bride
was someone else. She was beaming with joy, and her smile was so gentle as if she was the actual
bride!
That was a huge blow to Charlotte.

moments with him in her stead, someone by the name of Cynthia Blackwood.

It wreaked havoc in her head, and her world was shattered into pieces.
When the Nacht Family first sent her to Coldbridge, she was undeniably scared of the uncertainty and
hated them for doing so. Still, she held onto the last sliver of hope in her, hoping that Zachary would
come and take her back.
But now, the fleeting hope that she’d tightly grasped onto eventually found its way out of her hand.
All her bubbles of hopes, dreams, and happiness popped and dissolved into thin air.
At that instant, she was in so much distress that she felt like every raindrop was gnawing her skin and
whipping the raw flesh underneath.
As she cried, her last wisp of despair exited her body through the last teardrop.
Nothing could threaten her anymore, not even the knife at her neck.
She was dead inside.
“Your agony brought me so much joy, Charlotte. Hahahaha!” Sharon chortled in absolute jubilation.
“What’s not mine will never be yours. That’s my revenge to you!”
She looked down at Charlotte in contempt. “I’ve lost pleasure in killing you. You know what, I’ll let you
live. After all, it’ll be a life graver than death for you!”
