Chapter 5 Chapter 5 In the bitter winter cold , Calista plunged her hands into the freezing water .
Her body shivered , but the physical chill couldnt compare to the ice in her heart .
They say Ken dotes on you , but I dont see it .
Calista didnt need to turn around to recognize Violas lilting voice .
She continued scrubbing the dress in silence .
Viola , clearly enjoying herself , took a leisurely sip of her coffee .
Your fingers are turning red .
Must be painful , isnt it ? She smiled sweetly .
Ken just brought me this coffee to comfort me .
Its so warm and fragrant .
When Calista remained focused on her task , Violas tone turned sharp .
Youre just an adopted daughter no better than a stray dog .
Look at this .
Calista turned to see Viola fingering a familiar necklace her mothers luck charm , the one shed given to Ken .
Her heart stopped .
She lunged forward .
Thats mine ! You have no right to it ! Anger flashed in Violas eyes .
This worthless thing ? No one wants it ! With that , she yanked the necklace from her neck and hurled it into the swimming pool .
The luck charm broke the waters surface with a soft splash , ripples spreading across the dark water .
Violas lips curved into a triumphant smile .
Now that your precious luck charm is gone , what are you going to do about it ? Calistas heart shattered .
Yes , Ken could give his fiancée whatever he wanted , but this luck charm meant more to her than life itself .
Without hesitation , she dove into the pool .
Viola froze .
The winter water was near freezing , and the pool built deep for Kens underwater training was treacherous .
Calista could easily die .
Fear crossed Violas face , but it was tinged with hope .
Silently , she backed away from the pool .

If I dont say anything , who would know I was here ? This is your own bad luck , Calista ! But after a few steps , she nearly collided with Ken .
Was that Calistas voice ? Is she over there ? Violas heart raced .
No ! Shes not there ! She grabbed his arm .
Shes probably just trying to get your attention again .
Lets look somewhere else .
She steered him in the opposite direction , praying he wouldnt discover what lay in the depths of the pool .
Meanwhile , Calista searched desperately in the frigid water .
Her limbs grew numb , her body increasingly heavy .
The urge to give up was strong , but this was her mothers last gift she couldnt let it go .
Just as her strength was failing , she spotted the necklace resting at the bottom .
Her fingers closed around it triumphantly , and she kicked toward the surface .
But as her head broke through the water , something wrapped around her ankle , pulling her back down .
