The Betrayed Bride
During her teenage years, Stella had been deeply in love with Theo. She willingly handed over a significant inheritance left by her mother to him, enabling him to establish the Reed Group and elevate the Reed family to the pinnacle of Zlilens's elite society. However, ever since Stella married into the Reed family, she had been bedridden for three years, with her condition worsening over time. On one rare occasion when she went out for medical treatment, she returned home only to find that Theo was having an affair with her stepsister, Rylie, in their marital bed. To her dismay, Theo's mother was at home and silently condoned their behavior. After enduring humiliation from Rylie and Theo's mother, Theo finally confessed his true feelings. He admitted that he was only interested in Stella's money and had never loved her. Moreover, he had already purchased a hefty life insurance policy on her, eagerly awaiting her death to claim a massive payout. Stella felt utterly hopeless, realizing the depth of her life's tragedy. She never imagined that Theo would take her to the rooftop, unable to wait for her natural demise and push her off directly. As she plummeted, Stella silently vowed that if given another chance, she would ensure they never found peace.
