Donovan tightened his grip on his cane and said, almost accusingly, “You still hate you?”

us, don’t

Sterling stayed quiet.

Back then, Leon was still around. Donovan had chosen him as the heir, and his position was solid. Quinton, as the younger brother, didn’t have big ambitions.

Leon married the talented Yvonne, while Quinton seemed more interested in chasing love than anything else.

He fell for Sterling’s mother, Isabella Scott.

She came from an ordinary family, but she was insanely talented in music.

Quinton saw her play the cello once and was completely captivated. He pursued her nonstop.

At that time, Isabella was already engaged and close to her fiancé.

But she soon found out he was still seeing his ex. Heartbroken, she broke off the engagement.

Quinton acted like a typical second son from a business family and went after her relentlessly. A year later, he finally won her over.

Of course, his family was against it.

When Isabella discovered who Quinton was, she wanted nothing to do with such a messy family.

But he wouldn’t give up. He begged, threatened, and did whatever it took until the family gave in and accepted her.

After they married, things were sweet at first. But when Leon died, family drama exploded, and their lives got messy fast.

Right then, Quinton’s childhood friend, Winnie, came back from overseas. She had always liked him.

With Leon gone, Quinton wanted to seize power. But Isabella wasn’t much help in his quest. Her focus was mostly on playing the cello.

After suffering a few miscarriages, she even told him to stay out of the family chaos.

Winnie, on the other hand, totally understood his ambition and secretly supported him.

It was no surprise that Quinton cheated soon.

When Isabella found out, she didn’t lose it. She was just exhausted and asked for a divorce.

But their marriage had been a huge story–a rich man and a musical genius crossing social boundaries for love. The story was everywhere.

Quinton’s reputation as a devoted husband had earned him a lot of public favor.

Getting divorced and remarrying so soon would give his enemies plenty to talk about. Winnie would end up being labeled a homewrecker.

On top of that, Isabella was pregnant again.

Quinton did care about her. The moment he got caught cheating, regret hit him hard. He’d fought so much for her–he couldn’t just let her go.

But Winnie’s obsession was absolute. She’d loved Quinton since childhood and refused to back off, even knowing he was a married man.

The three of them got completely tangled up, and Quinton couldn’t make a decision.

Isabella was determined to get a divorce. When that failed, she tried to run away. In response, Quinton locked her in the bamboo garden at Romero Manor, keeping her under house arrest.

Her parents were frantic and tried to see her again and again, but the Romero family blocked them. One rainy day, they drove back and got into a fatal car crash. Both of them died.

By the time Isabella gave birth to Sterling, she was deep in depression.

Quinton was too drained to handle his hysterical wife. Donovan hadn’t passed on power yet, hinting he planned to groom the next generation. With Winnie pushing him, Quinton went

overseas to start a new business.

Isabella and two–year–old Sterling were left behind at Romero Manor, rarely allowed to leave.

She wasn’t like Yvonne, who had the support of her powerful family after Leon died.

Yvonne was willing to stay in the Romero family as a widow.

Isabella, on the other hand, was trapped in a den of wolves–with no parents or husband to protect her. It was a nightmare.

The Romero kids fought for control. Isabella and Sterling, abandoned and powerless, were easy targets—anyone could step on them. Meanwhile, Quinton’s shady dealings overseas kept bringing new trouble back home.
