"Ah! Faster!"
A woman's spoiled sigh sounded familiar to Alice's ears as she passed by Gerald's bedroom door. Alice's steps instantly stopped in front of the door. Unusually, the door to Gerald's room, her fiancé, appeared to be slightly open.
"Call my name."
It was Gerald's voice. Alice could hear it clearly. Plus the coquettish voice of the woman in the room earlier. Alice was even more curious about what Gerald was doing. So she peeked through the c***k in the door, and her eyes immediately widened.
"Gerald, baby! Ah!"
Alice was dumbfounded, shocked and felt that the scene she was currently seeing was like a nightmare. Right in front of her eyes she was witnessing Gerald's hot activities with another woman. Even worse, that woman was his half-sister--Lily. Alice saw how Gerald's s*x was passionately thrusting into Lily's body, while hugging her as he kept saying the man's name with sweet sighs.
"Hahaha! I own you Gerald! You're mine!" Lily's laughter was loud in the room.
"Yes, you own me completely." Gerald replied without stopping thrusting his body in and out, then reached a c****x that thrilled them both.
Alice's tears fell. Her feelings were shattered. She was frantic, immediately opened the door and threw whatever items were there towards them. Suddenly, the couple on the bed were shocked. Gerald pulled out his union from Lily, and quickly fortified the woman using his back. Thus, Alice's attack severely hurt Gerald.
"Alice! What the hell!" snapped Gerald, feeling the sting in his back from the broken porcelain glass.
Alice was already unable to express her anger through words. There were not even words that could adequately represent her current feelings towards the two of them. Alice was betrayed by two people she loved at once.
Alice screamed loudly. She poured all her strength into screaming. It hurt. Very painful. She was frustrated and stressed out instantly.
"What did I do wrong to you, Lily? That you took him away from me?" Tears flooded Alice's face at this moment. She looked at Lily with deep disappointment.
"What am I to you, Gerald? I've always prioritized you in my life." Alice was deeply hurt. If the man still loved her, the temptation of other women should not have affected Gerald's common sense. But what they did, had really ruined everything in Alice's life tonight.
"Stop it, Alice! You're going to hurt Lily!" snapped Gerald. Alice was choked up. The bastard, clearly in the wrong, was still defending his mistress. So, in a roundabout way, he was admitting to the affair to Alice's face.
"Alice, we're ending this relationship!" Gerald exclaimed loudly. "From now on, you're no longer my fiancée!"
Alice was shocked. Alice was furious. The anger in her eyes was ready to skin them both. Those two people deserved to be killed. Alice was also thinking of finishing them off now. She picked up the knife on the dresser by the door---a knife specialized in cutting apples---and without caring about anything else she ran towards them.
But a pair of hands stopped her from behind. Alice was restrained before she could thrust the knife into their hearts. "Alice!" Her stepmother's voice cried out in rebuke, waking Alice up from her madness that almost took their lives.
This commotion attracted other family members in the luxurious mansion. Several people arrived and saw Alice rebelling violently in her stepmother's arms. "Let me go, they both have to die!" Alice continued to scream hysterically. She couldn't stay still, until an injection suddenly pierced Alice's neck. In an instant Alice's consciousness was gone, she fell and fainted.

From then on, Alice hated her half-sister and her now ex-fiancé. Moreover, Gerald decisively broke off their engagement in order to openly defend his mistress. Alice was hurt.
"Never mind, Alice. There are many other men who are better than your ex-fiancé," said her father, patting her on the shoulder. Alice could now only cry at home.
"Wipe your tears. I have a good acquaintance for you," Dad said, making Alice interested in listening.
Alice stopped crying, her face still puffy with tears. "What do you mean?"
"The son of the Greyson family is looking for his bride. I want you to marry that man named Adrian."
Alice was dumbfounded. "Why all of a sudden?"
"I had asked your brother but he didn't want to and ended up having an affair with your fiancé, Alice. Please father, this is the only thing I can do to save our family from destruction, is to marry one of my daughters to Mr. Greyson's son."
Alice was conflicted by the sudden request. "I don't want my life to be controlled again, Father. When I was young, you arranged my marriage to Gerald, but now, a week before our wedding, he's cheating. This time, I want to live freely and love whomever I choose."
Alice left her father immediately, finding solace in her childhood friend named Dona, and confided everything in her.
"Pack Greyson?" Dona exclaimed, wide-eyed. "Oh my, I didn't expect that. Do you know who the Greysons are?"
Alice shook her head.
"They're the strongest pack that rules the Northern territory. Mr. Greyson himself has two children. The eldest is a woman who has found her mate and has a child. Then there's Mr. Greyson's second child, a man known for his mysterious nature."
"According to rumors, he lives in seclusion in the Northern castle, quite far from his family's palace, because of a forbidden curse. He's stationed at the cold, icy Northern border to ensure the curse doesn't affect the town there."
"So, what do you think I should do? Should I reject it, but then what about my family's fate?" Alice was confused.
"I think that man has a good family reputation. It wouldn't hurt to accept the arranged marriage. Consider it as revenge against your ex-fiancé and your cursed sister." Dona suggested.
Alice pondered. Then she decided to follow Dona's advice. She quickly went to her father and told him she was willing to go through with it.
Father beamed with pleasure. "Tomorrow, come to the North. He's a Duke who rules that region. Everyone there must know him. His name is Adrian."
