On my sister’s wedding night, she caught me having an affair with her husband. The wedding guests pointed at me, laughing at how disgraceful our family was. My father had a heart attack from the shock, while my mother rushed over in tears, scratching my face and pulling my hair, forcing me to kneel and apologize to my sister. At that moment, I became the most despicable and promiscuous woman in Cloud City. Gabriel Knight, satisfied with our encounter, elegantly buttoned up his shirt. In front of everyone, he suddenly grabbed my neck, his tone cold and indifferent. “Not bad, but your methods of climbing the social ladder are a bit crude.” As I struggled to breathe, I couldn’t help but laugh hysterically. Because in my previous life, this was exactly how he choked my sister when she was eight months pregnant, Until the baby stopped moving completely. When Rose kicked open the hotel room door, I was straddling her fiancé’s waist. “What are you doing?!” Rose, dressed in an elegant wedding gown, looked like a devastated clown. I threw my head back and laughed, gently biting Gabriel’s ear. “Your husband says white wedding dresses are too dull. He prefers my black lace~” “You whore!” My usually gentle sister cursed for the first time in her life. She grabbed a nearby glass and hurled it at me. The shards grazed the corner of my eye, drawing blood, nearly blinding me. Amidst the gasps of the guests, our father arrived and collapsed, clutching his chest at the sight. “Someone’s dying! Call 911!” “How awful, the Rivers family adopted a viper!” In the chaos, our elderly mother charged through the crowd like a lioness, her eyes blazing red as she slapped me hard across the face. “You ungrateful bitch! Have you forgotten how your sister worked five jobs a day to pay for your surgery when we adopted you?!” The pain left me speechless, but my mother grabbed my hair and dragged me off the bed, throwing me at my sister’s feet. Meanwhile, Rose’s fiancé – Gabriel Knight – stood by coldly, observing like an outsider. “Apologize to your sister! Kneel and beg for forgiveness!” My mother angrily pulled my hair, slamming my head against the floor repeatedly. My forehead bled from the impacts, some drops even staining Rose’s pristine white wedding dress. “I won’t! I love Gabriel Knight!” I shouted defiantly, my makeup smeared like a ghost’s. My sister, who had always loved and cared for me, slapped me for the first time. Her diamond ring cut my cheek, drawing blood. Trembling, screaming, she broke down and yelled. “Gabriel is mine! Lily Rivers, don’t you dare!” This scene of the Rivers sisters turning against each other over Cloud City’s elite bachelor clearly pleased Gabriel Knight immensely. The man elegantly buttoned his shirt, got off the bed, and suddenly grabbed my neck, his tone frivolous as if appraising merchandise. “Not bad, but your methods of climbing the social ladder are a bit crude.” I rolled my eyes, my face turning red from near suffocation. But I couldn’t help grinning widely. Yes, just thinking about how I got Gabriel Knight first in this life, Made me tremble with joy all over.
After that day, Gabriel changed his engagement with the Rivers family, abandoning my sister and marrying me instead. My father was so angry he was hospitalized, and my mother’s hair turned white overnight at his bedside. I lay in Gabriel’s arms, carelessly laughing as I fed him grapes. The whole world said I was shameless, but I had no regrets. I looked at my face in the mirror opposite, so similar to my sister’s, and bit my lip hard. Don’t blame me, sister. In my previous life, you were tortured to death by this man. In this life, even if you hate me, I must prevent it all. The next day, I stood in front of the mirror with exquisite makeup, wearing an expensive haute couture dress. Downstairs was the birthday party Gabriel threw for me. Amidst everyone’s praise, I took Gabriel’s arm, smiling seductively. “Lily, please give Gabriel back to me, please… I’m begging you! Please!” Rose somehow burst in, still wearing that ridiculous wedding dress, falling to her knees in front of me. Disheveled and bloodshot, she had lost all the grace and dignity of the Rivers family’s eldest daughter. “For the sake of our sisterhood, for all these years I’ve loved and cared for you, can’t you let your sister have this…” Seeing my sister torture herself like this over a man broke my heart. Better to end it quickly than prolong the pain. I pretended to laugh cruelly, deliberately crouching down to pat Rose’s face. “Sis, men aren’t something you can just ‘let’ someone have. You have to fight for them, understand?” Catching Gabriel glancing at me from the corner of my eye, I unhesitatingly slapped Rose hard across the face in front of everyone, so hard my palm swelled. My sister fell to the ground, her cheek bleeding, utterly disheveled. I gritted my teeth and delivered the cruel words, “Mom slapped me once. Now you’re paying it back.”
After marrying Gabriel Knight, everyone in Cloud City said his love for me knew no bounds. I could freely enter and exit his private club, and he even generously gifted me a yacht. I was the last conquest in his playboy life, able to keep him in bed. The media almost daily caught steamy photos of us at hotels. Indeed, I put in a lot of effort to achieve all this. That night, Gabriel imprisoned me in a private hot spring hotel. I was carefully applying fake scars to my inner thighs. “Back then, when Mr. Rivers had a heart attack, your sister begged me on her knees to save him,” he said, gripping my chin and pouring red wine into my mouth. “Guess what I said? Unless she gave you to me to play with for three months.” “Who would have thought I wouldn’t need her to do that? You came to me voluntarily.” I let the wine soak through my lace nightgown, offering no resistance, obedient and fawning. “Your father’s condition is very serious, you know? The hospital has already issued a critical condition notice.” “Your mother is now also lying in a hospital bed, sick with worry. Rivers Corp’s stock price is plummeting, about to go bankrupt. Your sister even has to borrow money now to pay for their medical bills.” With each sentence, Gabriel’s sharp, icy snake-like eyes stared intently at my face, afraid to miss even the slightest expression. I curled my lips into a smile, my burning red lips lightly kissing Gabriel’s Adam’s apple, my tone cold and vicious. “What does that have to do with me? If they die, they die.” “They’re not my birth parents. Do they expect me to be grateful to them for life?” Gabriel’s eyes flickered. He cursed me for being heartless, but his eyes showed satisfaction. “Mr. Knight, I have something even more exciting here.” I untied my robe, revealing a body covered in cigarette burns – all faked with special effects makeup glue. “Would you like to try a branding iron?” His eyes lit up with that familiar sadistic desire, just like when he used an iron to burn my sister’s back in my previous life. Afterward, as I lay on the bed, Gabriel gently caressed the scars on my back, placing a soft kiss on them. “You’re more interesting than Rose. She would only cry when beaten, but you climax.”
A few days later, I went to the hospital, not to see my parents, but to flaunt my upcoming wedding to my sister. “Rose Rivers, I’m going to marry Gabriel Knight.” My mother, lying in the hospital bed, was so angered she suddenly sat up, pointing at me with a trembling finger, her eyes full of hatred. “Lily Rivers! How can you be so shameless? Are you trying to drive your sister to her death? Is this how you repay her for nearly sacrificing her life for you?” “Are you really that desperate for a man?” My sister, for the sake of Rivers Corp and to be with Gabriel Knight, had taken stomach medication like food to accompany clients for drinks, drinking until she vomited blood, just to climb to Gabriel’s side and become his girlfriend. In everyone’s eyes, Rose Rivers and Gabriel Knight were a match made in heaven. But I insisted on breaking them up. I pulled open my collar, revealing suggestive red marks. “That’s right, I just don’t want my sister to have a good life. I’ve slept with Gabriel Knight, and I’m keeping him.” My always gentle and kind sister burst into tears. The recent blows had already pushed her to the brink of mental collapse, and she had lost a significant amount of weight. “Lily Rivers, I hate you so much… I hate you…” “Hate me then. Oh, and I advise you to leave Cloud City soon.” I admired my newly done blood-red manicure, carelessly addressing their hatred. “So you don’t have to watch me marry your fiancé and go crazy with jealousy~” Before Rose could react, my mother threw a pillow at me first, crying and shouting. “You don’t deserve the Rivers name! We were blind to adopt you back then! Get out of here!” I turned and left the hospital room, closing the door to block out the angry outbursts, breakdowns, and endless crying inside. Just as I walked out of the hospital, an egg smashed against my head. The foul-smelling egg yolk dripped down my hair. “Bad woman! Mommy, look! That’s the bad woman from the news who stole someone else’s husband!” A little brat helping his mother carry groceries angrily pointed at me, turning to tattle to his mother. “Child, let’s go, let’s go.” The woman first glanced at me, both fearful and disgusted, then quickly left, pulling her child’s hand. Not far away, the woman couldn’t wait to say, “Honey, in the future, never interact with people like that. It’s too unlucky.” I was stunned for a moment, then casually wiped off the egg yolk and put on my new Bvlgari sunglasses.
I returned alone to the empty Rivers house, watching as debt collectors were carrying out valuable items one by one. This once grand and luxurious house was instantly left hollow inside. According to media rumors, a mysterious wealthy buyer had swept in and purchased all the Rivers family furniture at a high price. I took off my sunglasses and went to my room to pack my things. I saw the strawberry bear plush toy that my father had braved a snowstorm to buy for me when I had acute gastritis at fifteen. I saw the performance dress studded with diamonds that my mother had hand-sewn for my dance competition when I was eighteen. I saw the brooch that my sister had personally designed for me a week before her wedding at twenty-three, smiling as she told me she wanted me to wear it with my bridesmaid dress. I didn’t want any of these anymore. When I returned to the Knight residence empty-handed, Gabriel looked somewhat surprised. He put down his newspaper and raised an eyebrow. “What’s this? They wouldn’t let you take your belongings?” I shook my head, smiling as I curled up in Gabriel’s arms, kissing his chin. “It’s all worthless stuff. I couldn’t be bothered to take it. You’ll give me everything I need, won’t you, Mr. Knight?” “You’re very clever.” Gabriel stared at the red marks on my fair shoulders, his eyes tinged with desire. Those were whip marks he had personally inflicted last night. The man picked me up in his arms and carried me to the bedroom. In the heat of passion, I gently caressed Gabriel’s chiseled jawline, seizing the moment of his climax to ask, “That female celebrity who drowned last year, you had someone tie rocks to her, didn’t you?” The man chuckled, his tone contemptuous. “Who told her to get pregnant with my child? Not just anyone can be my wife.” “I still prefer your type… scheming yet self-aware.” I pretended to be jealous, playfully hitting Gabriel’s chest while extracting more information. “How mean~ Just how many women have you had? I might get jealous, you know.” Gabriel smirked, his casual words full of boasting and teasing. “Not many. You know that famous ‘pure’ actress in the entertainment industry, right? My men drugged her and sent her to my bed.” My eyes darkened, but my tone remained coy. “So how did Mr. Knight deal with her?” “Of course, I played with her once and then discarded her. Some money as compensation is enough for people like that.” “Mr. Knight, you’re so heartless. What about me then?” I pretended to be scared, actually observing Gabriel’s reaction. As expected, the man pulled me into his arms and whispered reassuringly.
Gabriel had lowered his guard around me considerably. These past few days I had been quite demanding, complaining of boredom, so he decided to take me to his underground auction house for some entertainment. Gabriel’s current status as the all-powerful figure in Cloud City was inseparable from his behind-the-scenes power and methods. At the auction house, seeing the battered young girl in the cage gasping for breath, I let out a startled cry and curled up in Gabriel’s arms like a frightened kitten. “Such a delicate little thing.” Gabriel lowered his head and affectionately tweaked my nose, smiling slightly. “I told you not to come along. Now you’ve been scared, haven’t you?” I stubbornly retorted. “I just wanted to be with Mr. Knight. Besides, it’s just this much, I’m not scared at all.” “Oh? So you won’t be scared by what comes next either?” Gabriel snapped his fingers, and the next batch of auction items were brought out one by one, either walking a fine moral line or existing in legal gray areas. These shocking and spine-chilling items made my pupils dilate, but I still clung tightly to Gabriel, looking up at him adoringly. “Mr. Knight is so amazing. Are all these yours?” “Of course, they’re all my businesses. This entire underground auction house is mine.” My pearl earrings grew slightly warm. I leaned on Gabriel’s shoulder, curling my lips in satisfaction. Gabriel took my hand, kissing the back of it, his tone gentle. “It’s not easy to acquire these goods. Is there anything you like, baby?” I shook my head, obedient yet clear-minded. “Lily only wants Mr. Knight. I don’t covet anything else.” Gabriel patted my head, saying nothing, but his eyes were full of infatuation for me. On the way back, it started pouring rain, and the car was suddenly stopped. At that moment, I was being intimate with Gabriel. “Mr. Knight, there’s a crazy woman blocking the road!” The man’s eyes filled with bloody intent. He adjusted his tie and got out of the car. I straightened my dress and followed him out, only to find that the person blocking the road was actually Rose Rivers. She looked like she had lost all will to live. The woman knelt on the ground, her face sallow, her voice hoarse, her clothes tattered and filthy, drenched by the rain like a beggar. “Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight… will you marry me? I love you… I love you more than Lily Rivers does.” I smirked, as the assistant held an umbrella for me. I crossed my arms and sneered. “Sister, still harboring such delusions? Do you think you’re worthy?” Gabriel said nothing, coldly sweeping his gaze over her before preparing to get back in the car. However, he was stopped by Rose’s next words. “I’m pregnant.” Rose pulled out a pregnancy test report, which clearly stated she was one week pregnant. Thinking carefully, my last intimate encounter with Gabriel was two weeks ago. “It’s yours, Gabriel Knight.” Gabriel’s face darkened. He walked over and grabbed Rose’s hair, slamming her against the luxury car without a word. His demeanor was fierce, his actions decisive, showing no mercy. Rose, already weak from pregnancy, now had no strength to resist as the man gripped her scalp and slammed her against the car. The impacts were so severe she opened her mouth but couldn’t even moan. I suddenly snapped back to reality and rushed forward like a madwoman, trying to pull the man away. Because in my previous life, when he choked my sister and slammed her against the piano corner, he had the exact same expression.
