My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

Cathy woke up with her head still a little dizzy. At first, he was confused by the strange atmosphere around her. Then she remembered that Alpha II and Paul had told her everything from the time her parents met and then married; how she parted with her twin brother to the fact that Vincent was suspected of murdering her birth mother.

Cathy hoped this was only a dream. She wished he was just hallucinating and would wake up from her nightmare. But when she remembered the letter she found in V's workroom a few months ago, it broke her heart.

Vincent has apologized to her, and he has asked forgiveness from her... The man stated it as if he was the one who killed her mother.

She never met her birth mother, but for some reason, when she heard that her birth mother was killed by the man she loved, it made her heart feel like a sharp object had stabbed her soul. So painful, so suffocating, so soul-killing.

Once again, her tears flowed profusely, and she sobbed with tears.

Cathy heard a knock on her bedroom door and her brother's voice calling out to her. Cathy turned her back on the door and covered herself with the blanket. She did not want to meet anyone or see anyone's face... including her twin.

"I don't know if this helps... but I'll put our mother's letter here. You can read it if you want. No one will bother you. We'll be waiting for you outside."

After that, the door closed again, and Cathy continued her crying, which even sounded more painful in her ears.

Outside, Kinsey was leaning his back against the door of his sister's room. He heard his sister cry grievously. Kinsey was not the type to be sensitive or get carried away easily. But this time, somehow, he felt his heart ached when he heard his sister's cries. It was as if he could feel what Cathy was feeling.

This was why he wanted to delay as long as possible to prevent Cathy from learning the past. Even though Kinsey did not like Vincent, he knows that his sister loves the man and even longing for him. This truth would only be a heavy blow to Cathy, and Kinsey didn't want his sister to heartbroken like this.

Sooner or later, Cathy would find out either way, so Kinsey only hoped that time would pass and Cathy could retrieve her missing cheerfulness.

Cathy didn't know how long she cried until she fell asleep. When she woke up, there was already a tray of food on the table next to her bed. Cathy didn't feel hungry at all and had no appetite. She preferred to read her mother's letter, which her brother stored in a small box.

Inside the crate box, there were several envelopes with the letter R and consecutive numbers. Is it possible that she should read them in order?

Finally, she took an envelope with the words R1 written on it and started reading it.

Happy birthday my little angel. Today you are one year old, and I look forward to welcoming you to this place in two months. I can't wait to meet you. I used to imagine what your face would be like, what your voice would be like, whether you had the same hair like your father or me.

When you first came to this world, I didn't have time to see your face, and now I wonder... is your face similar to mine or like your father?

I'll find out when you come here.

Signed the mother who always thinks of you,

Happy second birthday Rinrin. After waiting for more than a year, I finally got to know your name. I'm a bad mother, huh? Since I didn't give you a name, will you blame me?

It's okay if you blame me. It's okay if you hate me when you grow up. So let me be so selfish and separate you from Rischa every night. I know you already think of Rischa as your mother, but I took you away from her so I can sleep with you every night.

You cried and couldn't sleep until you finally fell ill. At that time, I could not stand to see you sick. Thus, I was forced to let go of you and let you sleep with Rischa again.

I know it's my fault. I know I can't be selfish... but can I meet you in your dreams? At least I want to hear you call me 'mom' even if only once.

Signed the mother who always loves you,

C

Happy third birthday to my little daughter. I didn't know I missed you so much. It's the third month since you left this place. I bet you are with a new family. Maybe you are wondering why I separated you from Rischa. I will tell you the reason after you grow up.

I'm sorry that I couldn't celebrate your birthday and ashamed that I kept you away from your birth father. I did it because I had to. I hope you can understand my thinking. Even if you don't, I will still love you.

Signed

C

Happy fourth birthday,

Guess what I just did? I snuck from my bodyguards to meet you. Of course, Zero always followed me, but it's different if I have to be followed by Paul or Lest.

Are you asking who Zero is? Someday when you grow up, Zero will meet you. However, I'm afraid the Zero you meet will be different from the Zero I know.

Because you already can speak fluently, I will tell you a secret.

The father who made you his daughter was my dear brother, Daniel Paxton. He is my most beloved brother, but it seems like he doesn't love me because I didn't support him against our father's second marriage.

At first, I was worried that Daniel didn't love you as much as I do. But apparently, my worries were in vain. You look happy when Daniel carries you on his shoulder. The two of you laugh so much that I envy my own brother. I also want to laugh with you or play with you and talk about almost everything with you.

Because of that, I will find a way where you can stay safe by my side, and together with your biological father, we can all live happily.

Will you wait for me?
