However, halfway through it, my fiancé embezzles all the funds to propose to Sophia Kensington, his true love.I panic when I see the ice in Mom's brain start to melt. I have no money to continue with the research.I'm in utter despair when Leonard Shaw, a rising star in the biomedical field, comes to me with millions of dollars in funding. The research can continue.Just three days later, something goes wrong with the experiment. Mom explodes in cryogenic chamber.I'm shattered by this, but Leonard stays by my side throughout it all. He helps me move past this and continue with my research.I think he's the light of my life until I overhear his conversation with his secretary."Is it worth it marrying someone you don't love for Ms. Kensington's sake, Mr. Shaw?""Sophia is my life. I'm willing to do anything as long as she's healthy and happy.""But will Mrs. Shaw still continue helping Ms. Kensington if she learns you tampered with the data and killed her mother?""She'll never find out. Besides, I'm already using the rest of my life to make it up to her. That's more than enough…"It turns out Leonard's love is just a conspiracy. My heart turns to ashes in that moment. I sign an agreement to seal my body cryogenically.He'll never find me ever again."
