After six years of loving Julian Grayson and literally keeping him alive with her rare blood donations, Hazel Ashworth is just three days away from becoming his wife when he calls to cancel their wedding. 
The reason? Her half-sister Ivy has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and her dying wish is to marry Julian instead. Hazel watches in horror as Julian takes her handcrafted wedding dress to Ivy, who plans to wear it while stealing not just Hazel's fiancé, but her entire wedding—same venue, same date, even the same cake flavor. 
It's a devastating replay of their childhood, where Ivy's mother Eleanor destroyed Hazel's family by seducing her father and driving her mother to suicide, then spent years pushing Hazel out while Ivy took everything that was once hers. 
But this time, Hazel refuses to break like her mother did. She demands Julian's entire company and two million dollars as compensation, then shows up at the hospital to deliver Ivy's "wedding gift" in the most explosive way possible.
As Ivy plays the perfect dying victim and Julian remains blind to her manipulation, Hazel begins to suspect that her half-sister's illness might not be as terminal as everyone believes. When Ivy has the audacity to ask Hazel to witness her wedding to Julian, the gloves come off completely. 
Now Hazel must decide how far she's willing to go to expose the truth and reclaim what's rightfully hers, even if it means destroying the man she once loved in the process.

Chapter 147 - Giselle's Fury, Damien's Shield


Time slowed. The arc of liquid flying toward my face seemed suspended in midair. I registered Chloe standing nearby, her eyes wide with shock as she turned toward the commotion.


Pure instinct took over. I shoved Chloe aside with all my strength, sending her stumbling away. In that split second, I tried to twist my own body, but I knew I wouldn't be fast enough.


Then Damien was there, stepping between me and danger in one fluid motion. His back to Giselle, his arms wrapping around me protectively. Something wet splashed against him with a sickening hiss.


"Damien!" I screamed, horror flooding my system.


The room erupted in chaos. People shouted and scrambled backward. The acrid smell of something chemical filled the air as Damien's expensive jacket began to smoke.
