---- It turned out that the dreams that I had were not dreams. They had truly happened. It was just so long ago that I could not remember clearly. My mother had taken me shopping when I was kidnapped by human traffickers on the busy street. It was pointless to cry. My mother's screams were drowned out by the busy crowd. "Where's my mother?" I asked. I missed her so much, and I wanted to give her a hug. "She passed away. She ran after you that day and got into a car crash." I sobbed on my father's shoulder. In the end, I was still a child without a mother. Luckily for me, I still had my father. Just like that, I suddenly became the heiress of a wealthy family. My father had no other children, so I was the only heiress. I met Jason at the party where my father ---- announced me to the public. His gaze at me was complex, but I could see a hint of regret. "Madeline." His tone was no longer aloof as before. It even had a hint of grovelling in it. However, the fear I had for him had not vanished just because I had a change of identity. I started trembling. The suffocation was washing over me once more. I glared at him with contempt and yelled, "Stay away from me!" Jason inched closer to me. "Madeline, calm down. Let's talk it out, please?" I covered my head, trying to protect myself, while gasping for air. "Stay away from me. I beg you..." My breathing was getting weaker. Fear overwhelmed me so much I thought the Grim Reaper was right in front of me. ---- Ted suddenly appeared, putting me behind him.
