A wave of bitterness surged in my throat, not just because he had me followed but because he could easily twist the truth.
My heart's obsession shattered, leaving only a deep sense of humiliation.

I had always felt my background fell short of the Wallace family’s standards, yet to my surprise, he chose me.
