No matter how disappointed Shayla had grown in her three sons, they were still her flesh and blood. She invested a significant fortune to help the Kalen brothers pass the company’s internal trials, ensuring they were accepted into the Kalen Group and secured a position of respect. 

Having managed a company herself, Shayla understood all too well that in business, connections and loyalty often outweighed raw talent. If her sons could establish themselves within the family enterprise, their paths would be immeasurably smoother. 

The inheritance Shayla left was substantial, yet she had spent the greater part of it supporting her sons. By the time she passed on, the remaining funds were enough to ensure her daughter’s comfort–but when Wendy later faced a desperate financial crisis, Sharon gave her everything she had. After that, Sharon was left with almost nothing. 

Thomas said, “You and Shayla are alike–you’re both good mothers. Maybe because she once loved you so deeply, you learned how to love others in return.” 

Sharon turned to look at him. “And you?” 

“Me?” His expression didn’t change. 

“What kind of person was your mother?” 

Thomas’s tone was calm, but a quiet chill lingered beneath it. “She probably wished I’d never been born.” 

Sharon’s eyes flickered. She hesitated, wanting to say that no mother in the world could truly hate her child. But the words caught in her throat. There were mothers who did not love their children–she couldn’t deny that 

truth. 

Thomas went on. 

“I was an unwanted accident–an existence that shouldn’t have been. From the moment I was born, she saw me 

as a curse. 

“The day I was born, my older brother was in a car accident and needed an urgent blood transfusion. His blood type was rare; only my mother’s matched. She wanted to donate, but she was in labor with me–and hysterical. By the time she gave birth, my brother had bled to death. 

“Two years later, my grandparents died, one after another. When I was six, my father died in an accident, too. From the day I was born, tragedy followed our family. She was convinced I was a jinx–her hatred was bone- deep. She tried everything to kill me.” 

Sharon’s brow furrowed. “But none of that was your fault. You were just a child. You couldn’t have caused any of it.” 

Thomas offered a faint, hollow smile. “Maybe she wasn’t entirely wrong. Everyone who gets close to me seems to meet misfortune. Even my mother… she eventually lost her mind. 

“But me?” His tone dropped, laced with self–mockery. “I’ve always been hard to kill. No matter what she tried- burning, drowning–it never worked. Once, she tried to run me over with her car. The brakes failed. She missed

me… and died in the crash.” 

He let out a low, mirthless laugh. “Maybe I really am cursed. Anyone who meets me ends up suffering.” 

Sharon stared at him, stunned. She had never imagined that the cheerful, sunlit Thomas hid such a bleak and harrowing childhood beneath his smile. 

“I don’t believe that,” she said softly. “If anything, my luck has been better since I met you. Without you, their schemes would have destroyed me long ago. The fact that I’m still standing proves you’re not cursed–you’re my salvation.” T 

“Or maybe,” Thomas murmured, “your time just hasn’t come yet.‘ 

Sharon gave a small, teasing smile. “Then tell me, what could possibly be worse than the life I’m living now?” 

His dark eyes grew deeper, shadows shifting beneath their calm surface. 

She had no idea how precarious her situation truly was. For now, she had seized a fragile advantage, but she was like a child sitting on a mountain of gold with no real means to defend it. 

Victoria, on the other hand, had everything–her father’s backing, her brothers‘ protection, and a crowd of suitors ready to fight for her. She carried no burdens, no fear of the future. All she had to do was walk the path others had already cleared for her, and she would reach the finish line with effortless grace.
