Betrayed by Orion's Return to Toxic Love

Each year, my boyfriend would visit his late ex-girlfriend's resting place, earning him the reputation of being the entertainment industry's most devoted lover. That image was shattered on the day of our engagement party when he vanished without a trace. It turns out his ex-girlfriend had seemingly reappeared, and the pair were spotted in a passionate embrace by a cliff significant to their past. Devastated, I was involved in a car accident.

When I awoke, I found myself given a second chance at life. My gravely ill boyfriend had ventured into the stormy Alps to visit his ex-girlfriend once more. This time, I chose to let him go. Not long after, the news broke: the popular star had fallen off the cliff, suffering severe injuries and becoming paralyzed.

==============================

After work, I returned home to catch up on the news. The reports were all about Orion Smith, a rising star in show business, who had fallen off a cliff while visiting his late ex-girlfriend. He remained in intensive care. The incident only cemented his status as the industry's most devoted lover. Before I could fully digest this, Miles Smith barged into my home.

In a meticulously tailored suit, his words were far from refined. "Where have you been? Orion's seriously hurt in the hospital, and you didn't bother to care for him. The mountain roads are treacherous at night, yet you let him go alone..."

His harsh words brought back memories of when Orion and I first confirmed our relationship publicly. At a gathering, someone asked Miles about me. His dismissive answer was, "My son is young; she's just a fleeting fancy. She's not fit for our family."

Afterward, I faced ridicule for months from Orion's circle for being a small-time director daring to date someone of his stature. Miles wasn't done; he declared in an interview that I was merely a gold-digger, after the Smith family's wealth. This led to Orion's fans harassing me online, costing me several jobs.

Under pressure, I once considered breaking up with Orion. But around that time, my dad fell into debt from gambling, and his creditors were threatening him. Orion stepped in to resolve everything, keeping our family safe. He publicly declared that I was the most genuine, kind-hearted girl he'd ever met and vowed to marry no one else, asking those from influential circles and his fans to respect me.

I was touched, convinced Orion truly loved me. But I was naive; I didn't understand that the living can't compete with the memory of the dead, especially when the deceased was his first love.

Miles, noticing my blank stare, lashed out more viciously. He scrutinized me from head to toe and sneered. "What are you wearing? You’re embarrassing the Smith family. Go change and come to the hospital to take care of Orion."

Without a word, I went into my
