Chapter 133 The Past


    Myra and Thomas lived a hard life and were often abused physically by the people who took care of


    them. After their caretakers died of an ident, Myra and Thomas became orphans. When Dania


    received the news, she sent someone to pick them both up but Myra refused.


    Dania didn''t know what the Nelson family had been telling Myra that caused Myra to hate her so much.


    Myra imed that she didn''t have such a shameless mother. Myra was confident in her own abilities to


    raise Thomas and herself well. As a result, Dania had been living in guilt and pain. Later, Yohannes


    suggested that one of their servants adopted Myra and Thomas as a deed of kindness. That way, both


    of them would be able to get a good education.


    Myra''s grades were very good from primary school all the way until college. Thomas on the other hand


    had no interest in studying. He did not graduate from middle school; instead, he chose to homeschool.


    When Myra was in college, she was the campus belle. She had many suitors, including Marie''s brother,


    Dave Walker. Myra hated Dave at first, but as time went by, they became closer.


    Marie had witnessed Dave spending time together with Myra. Truth be told, she had never seen Dave


    so happy with anyone except Myra.


    Whenever there was something good at home, the first person Dave would think to share it with was


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Myra.This made Marie very jealous. She and Dave were siblings. Why would Dave treat an outsider


    who shared no blood rtion with him better than his own sister?


    Because of this, Marie slowly started to despise Myra. Especially when she heard everyone around her


    praise Myra for her beauty, intelligence, and talent, she despised Myra even more.


    Due to his excellent grades and his talent in architectural design, Dave received an invitation to study


    at a well-known university abroad.


    After he went abroad, he quickly made a name for himself as a famous designer. Since he was abroad,


    Marie had gone to visit him over the summer.


    Dave mostly hung out with the upper ss and many among them were rich families from Havend.


    Ma, being one of them, had an interest in carving sculptures; hence, Dave and he became friends


    immediately when they met. From there, Ma also got closer to Marie.


    Ma was handsome and was also the heir of a rich and powerful family. At the first nce, Marie


    took a fancy to him immediately; she began to have a crush on Ma. She would always use


    different excuses just to get closer to Ma.


    Because of Dave, Ma treated her well. He epted most of her requests and often invited her to


    parties and events as his partner.


    In the two short months they hung out, Marie was extremely happy. She had always thought that


    Ma liked her, otherwise, why would he invite her to events as his partner?


    Marie began to fantasize about Ma. Of course, none of this escaped Dave''s eyes. He warned her


    not to have too many unrealistic expectations about what was going on between them. Ma only


    regarded her as a younger sister of his friend and nothing more. Besides, Ma''s family was out of


    their league.


    But of course Marie didn''t listen. She had fallen head over heels for Ma. Her vacation wasing


    to an end and she had to return to her home country soon. She hoped that Ma could use the


    remaining time to confess to her and the two of them would live out their own fairytale.


    Although Ma did not confess to her, he did go back to the country with her. He had wanted to go


    back to meet with a famous sculptor. However, Marie did not think so. To her, he was using that as an


    excuse, and his real motive was to apany her back.


    As Ma was returning to the country, Dave had requested Ma to bring back some gifts for Myra


    on his behalf. When Ma went to pass her the gifts, he was struck by Myra''s beauty and fell in love


    with Myra at the first sight.


    For this reason, Ma did not go back abroad. He came up with the excuse to learn sculpting locally


    so he could remain in the country. For Marie, this was great news. She thought Ma was staying


    back for her.


    It was not until she saw Ma and Myra started dating that she realized what was going on. Marie''s


    hostility towards Myra grew tenfold at the sight of that. She hated Myra for stealing her lover away.


    Looking at the rtionship blossoming between Ma and Myra, Marie felt as if her heart was


    shed by a knife. She would never allow Ma to be taken away from her by Myra, not even if she


    was her sister.


    She began to find a way to break them up. Coincidentally, Steven had a crush on Myra. Marie decided


    to shift her focus onto Steven.


    Steven was popr in school. He was also good-looking and won the hearts of many girls. He also fell


    in love with Myra at first sight, but Myra was not very keen on Steven.


    No matter how Steven pursued Myra, Myra showed no attention to him. Marie subtly hinted to him that


    she could help him get Myra, and she also told him about the rtionship between her and Myra.


    Naturally, Steven was overjoyed that Marie had offered to help. The two began to form a n. Marie


    started treating Myra well and because Myra saw Marie as her sister, she did not doubt Marie''s


    intentions. Meanwhile, Marie would often think of various ways to bring Steven closer to Myra.


    However, there wasn''t much use. Myra had no interest in Steven at all. Seeing the n with Steven


    failed, Marie had to shift her strategy to Ma. If the Reed family found out that Ma had stayed


    back in the country for Myra, Pedro would definitely not allow it.


    Therefore, as Ma''s fiancee, Lydia personally came to find Ma. Ma had no feelings for


    Lydia and he had made it clear to her.


    To Marie, if she could not have Ma, then no one else could have him too. Therefore, since Steven


    couldn''t help her, she was on her own. She couldn''t let Myra win. Lydia''s appearance was an


    opportunity presenting itself. While Ma still had his guard down against her, Marie decided to set


    them all up.


    Marie got Ma and Lydia drunk before she made them sleep with each other. She then told Myra to


    chose to be with Steven instead.


    It seemed as if everything had already ended, but it was only the beginning for Marie. She thought that


    since Ma was no longer with Myra, she stood a chance to get back with Ma. However, she


    didn''t expect that Ma would marry Lydia even though he did not love her. Meanwhile, she had


    thought Myra and Steven would''ve just lived a simple and in life together after marriage.


    Surprisingly, Steven''s business prospered and his career grew tremendously.


    Marie was unwilling to give up. She was the only one who benefited nothing in this grand n of hers.


    God knew how frustrated she was! Everyone was now living a happy life except her.


    Dave had been entrusted by a rich Fransburg merchant to bring some famous drawings back home.


    He had ced the drawings with Myra for safekeeping. But, when the drawings were revealed back


    home, they turned out to be fake. As a result, Dave lost everything and went bankrupt. His reputation


    was gone. This caused Dave''s father to pass away from the shock, his mother following soon after.


    In one night, Marie lost everything, just like how Myra used to be. Her brother, Dave became


    devastated and lost hope in life. Marie med everything on Myra. She said that if it wasn''t for her,


    their family would not have stooped to this level.


    After the death of her parents, Dave returned to San Fetillo to live in seclusion. Marie had no choice but


    to go look for the old servant who used to take care of Myra. The old servant lived in Cat Alley. That


    was when she met Deborah, who also lived there. Deborah wasmonly known as Sugar there.


    Myra felt guilty that Marie and Dave ended up in such a situation. She gave Marie money she earned


    from work so that Marie could further her studies. At the time, Marie was studying medicine so she


    needed it. She never rejected Myra''s money but she never appreciated it either. On the contrary, she


    always thought of ways to get her revenge on Myra.


    She was never grateful to Myra. On the other hand, she was getting along really well with Deborah.


    Deborah was famous back then in Cat Alley. People around would always praise her beauty so Marie


    treated Deborah extremely well.


    During the summer that Marie graduated, Steven went to San Fetillo for business. On behalf of Myra,


    he visited Marie and gave her some money. Marie took Deborah and Deborah''s cousin, Simon to see


    Steven.


    At that time, Steven was young and handsome, and Deborah could not take her eyes off him. Seeing


    this scene, Marie secretly formed a vicious n in her head.


    She wanted Myra to suffer the pain of betrayal, especially that of her best friend whom she once


    trusted. So Marie drugged Steven and Deborah''s water. However, the ending was unexpected.


    She had plotted for Deborah and Steven to sleep together, but something else happened. She woke up


    and found herself naked instead, next to Simon, and thus, began their entanglement.


    Simon was a local ruffian in Cat Alley, and the ruffians in the alley were all blood-thirsty creatures.


    Before the incident, Simon had treated her well. However, after they had slept together, he started to


    threaten her. He wanted to maintain a sexual rtionship or he would expose this to others to


    embarrass her. For the sake of maintaining Deborah and Simon''s rtionship, she agreed.


    Unexpectedly, she got pregnant.


    She had nned to abort the child at the hospital. But the doctor told her that her body wouldn''t be


    able to take it. If she did so, she would never be able to have a child again.


    Simon also followed her to the hospital after hearing the news. In the end, Marie decided to keep the


    baby. On the day she gave birth to a child, Deborah also gave birth to Steven''s child.


    Marie hated Deborah. She was no fool. She was the one who nned to make Steven and Deborah a


    pair but somehow she ended up being drugged too. There was no way Deborah wasn''t involved.


    Therefore, she persuaded Simon to steal Deborah''s child. Naturally, Marie wasn''t going to take care of


    a child that wasn''t hers soter on she told him to give the child away.


    Marie knew that Deborah wasn''t giving birth to this child out of love. Deborah just wanted to rece


    Myra. Using this, she made a negotiation with Deborah. She would help Deborah get Steven if


    Deborah would help her get rid of Simon.


    In the end, they were all happy. Myra died in a car ident, and Deborah became Steven''s official


    wife. Marie''s child became Deborah and Steven''s child. As for Simon, Marie and Deborah worked


    together and sessfully sent him to jail.
