Jin Yi Romance

“My mother was dying. My fiancé was sleeping with my sister. My father had frozen the only money that could save her. At the hospital, the final notice for my mother's $75,000 medical bill burned in my hand. I tried to access her trust fund, her last hope, but my father had frozen it. Weeks ago, I'd found my fiancé Colby in bed with my half-sister Anabel, plotting to use me. Now, Anabel called, inviting me to celebrate her engagement to Colby. At the Waldorf Astoria, she flaunted her diamond, making a public spectacle of my humiliation. My father, siding with them, coldly dismissed my pleas, leaving my mother's life hanging by a thread. Stripped of everything by my own family, a top Johns Hopkins student was now forced to abandon pride. I applied for a private caregiver job, a desperate gamble for the $50,000 advance that could save my mother. The catch: a silent, traumatized child, a demanding, mysterious employer, and a forbidden third floor. This wasn't just a job; it was a battle for survival, and I would fight.”
