To avoid unnecessary trouble, I resolutely enrolled in the music major in college despite the opposition of everyone in the Murphy family.
Vincent studied finance, took over the Murphy Group, and became the new heir of the Murphy family with an iron hand.
I studied music and would never get involved in the power of the Murphy family.
But just after one birthday, Vincent, who loved me so much, completely disappeared.
Instead, he became a person who hated me extremely.

At first, I suspected that Vincent had been replaced.
I took out the toy he gave me when I was a child, trying to get from him what year he had given it to me as a gift.
Vincent dressed in a neat suit said disdainfully.
"Kara, you don't have to test me. This is my birthday present for you when you first came to my home. I was really silly to give you something."
I didn't give up and showed what he gave me from my bedroom one by one. It was not until Vincent sarcastically explained the sources of all the gifts that I could believe it was real.
But I still didn't give up, wondering if something supernatural had happened and a new soul had entered his body.
Taking the opportunity of living with him, I began to observe his behavior every day.
After I was admitted to a local university, Vincent bought this villa near the school so that we could live together. He was worried about me living alone on campus and would only feel at ease if I was with him.
There was no change in his behavior.
He never touched mangoes which might cause allergies, didn't eat overly sweet things, and had a very regular routine.
In the past, he used to get up early every day to prepare breakfast for me, but now, he would get up early and go out alone to have breakfast.
I was overwhelmed by his indifference and didn't know when it would end. Because of it, I broke a bowl so hard during an early morning breakfast-making session that the sharp porcelain cut my finger severely.
The blood ran away in an instant.
Hearing the sound in the living room, Vincent slowly walked towards me, and I looked at him expectantly.
Unexpectedly, he sneered, "These pieces should be cut on your wrists!"
I covered my hand as the blood was flowing more and more, feeling a dull pain in my heart.
He would never do this to me before.
