It was rare to see her lose her composure. Although it pained me to distress her, there was a twisted satisfaction in manipulating her.
I fantasized about eliciting a similar reaction from Andrew.
Recalling his cold refusal earlier, I relished the thought of his discomfort at our forced wedding.
Impatient to expedite the marriage, I escalated my antics.
Determined to compel my mother to hasten Andrews proposal, I used my injuries to create chaos.
As the nurse arrived to change my dressings, I hurled all the medicine to the floor and dismissed her abruptly.
When Addy, ever so gentle, tried to feed me, I threw my bowl across the room and shoved her to the floor, despite her consistent affection.
I became utterly uncooperative.
I refused to eat, change my dressings, or even drink water. After turning the hospital ward into a shambles, I either lay motionless in the bed or stood silently by the window, my gaze empty and devoid of any will to live, as if I might leap from the top floor at any moment.
Within hours, my mother was deeply alarmed by my determined, desolate expression.

Her resolve crumbled under my obstinate demeanor. Gone was her usual sternness; tears filled her eyes as she embraced me. Baby, Ill make sure Andrew marries you. Please, dont harm yourself anymore.
Sensing her fear and sorrow, a triumphant smile played at the corners of my mouth.

Whatever I desired, I was determined to obtain, no matter the cost.
Debras POV:
As dawn broke, I stirred from a groggy sleep. My hand reached out instinctively, only to freeze when it brushed against someone next to me.
Shock jolted me fully awake, and I hastily grabbed the quilt to shield myself.
Relief washed over me once I recognized the person beside me.
It was Caleb.
Irritation flickered as I nudged him, my eyebrows knitting together in confusion. Didnt you leave already? What brought you back so suddenly?
Calebs expression soured. Andrew returned to the manor with triple the usual number of bodyguards. The place is locked down so tightly now that not even a mosquito could get out. Im stuck here for now.
I couldnt suppress a chuckle at his obvious annoyance, but curiosity quickly took over. But isnt Andrew supposed to be badly hurt? How come hes out of the hospital already?
Upon hearing this, Caleb let out a mocking sneer and said in a taunting tone, You truly excel as a fiancee, showing such concern for Andrew.
I knew he was jealous, which surprisingly warmed my heart a bit.
Ivy chimed in with fervor, Thats my man. Even his jealousy makes him more attractive! What am I to do? Hes even more dashing when hes mad!
