Chapter 1

Finn's beloved Adeline has returned from studying abroad.

Her return immediately put her on the same level as me, who has been working tirelessly to climb the company ladder for the past five years.

But I've reached my limit; I comply with Finn's wishes and act as the compliant puppet he desires.

Everyone in the company knows I'm just a stand-in for Finn's beloved Adeline.

The foundation I've built with years of hard work has become their playground.

With a simple nod from Adeline, I pack up my things and hand over the office I've occupied for two years.

If she so much as frowns, Finn will do anything for her, even if it means stepping over me.

Finn doesn't understand why I've stopped crying and fighting, or why I no longer call him heartless. With Adeline perched on his lap, she giggles

"Finn, you really know how to keep things in order; even the sister knows her place."

I smile faintly; they've forgotten that Finn has already signed the divorce agreement.

I will leave this company and never see them again.
