LOGINThe day I went to try on my wedding suit, a stranger stormed into the VIP fitting room and drove a knife into my gut. "Sleeping with my woman, and you dare wear a suit this expensive?" He ripped my shirt into ribbons with a wild grin and threw sulfuric acid straight at me. The knife was buried deep in my abdomen. Pain ripped through me as I collapsed. He yanked my hair, forcing my head up. "Susan Lefebvre is my wife. What the hell are you? Just some filthy side piece hiding in the shadows!" Blood dripped from my fingertips as the truth sank in. The fiancée I'd loved for seven years had been cheating on me all along. "What are you staring at?" He sneered. "Even if I kill you, no one can touch me. My wife runs this city!" Watching that arrogant face twist in triumph, I took out my phone with a trembling, blood-soaked hand and dialed my sister. "Allison," I said, my voice cold and calm. "Come pick me up at the bridal salon. And tell the Lefebvres that the engagement is off."

No problem, right?" I said.Susan looked at me in shock. "But you said…""I never said I'd forgive you," I snorted. "Can you stop being so naïve?""But I've dealt with Milo," she protested, only to be cut off by a kick from Wilfred.He warned, "Sign it now, unless you want it the hard way. I'm not as kind as Barney here."Susan tried to plead, but Wilfred grabbed her by the neck. "Sign it or not!"She had no choice but to sign the divorce agreement, and for the first time, I felt a sense of relief I'd never known before. Just the thought of having any connection to her disgusted me."You think I don't know all the dirty tricks you've been pulling in the company?" Wilfred hissed. "If it weren't for Barney, I would have already taken care of you, your ungrateful rat!"He dialed his assistant and or
Wilfred's boot slammed into Susan's chest."You animal! I was blind to let Barney marry you!" he spat. "With this trash, you ruined my children!"Susan shook her head, fear written over every feature. She knew better than anyone what Wilfred was capable of."I didn't know," she cried. "It was that cheap man's doing. I'll make him apologize to Barney right now."With manic strength, she grabbed Milo's hair and smashed his head onto the cement. By the time she stopped, his forehead was a bloody blur."No, don't do this to me," he howled in pain.I stared blankly at the ring on his fourth finger. The ruby on it was something Susan had spent every dollar to buy for me. The sight of it on Milo's hand felt like salt in an old wound.Susan followed my gaze and saw the ring. Rage snapped her like a wire. "Who told you to touch Barney's things? Give it back, you piece of trash!"She wrenched the ring off his finger with such force I heard the sick, small crack of bone. With no strength
From the medical pod, I watched with a bitter smile."Take me over there," I said.The doctor wheeled me straight to Susan, and gasps rippled through a gathering crowd."The wealthy families surely have lots of scandals.""Tsk! Wilfred Tucker is known for his ruthlessness. Those two people are finished.""Finished? I'm not even sure they'll make it out of here alive. Wilfred adores his son, but Barney was battered like that. You think he's just going to let this slide?""The last guy who messed with the Tuckers died a long time ago."Susan paled further with each word. She scrambled on all fours toward me, her voice trembling. "Barney, I'm sorry. I can explain about Milo."I bit back the pain tearing through my body, scoffing, "Explain what? That you've been cheating on me for five years?"She froze, sensing Wilfred's cold gaze locked on her, and squeezed out fake tears. "I'm your wife. How could I betray you? You gotta believe me. I had my reasons."Behind her, Milo's face d
Susan's hand had barely touched me when Wilfred kicked her square in the chest. "Fuck off!"She was sent flying backward and crashed hard to the ground."What are you?" he growled. "You think you can touch my son?"Milo couldn't hold back his anger. Even though Susan had slapped him just moments ago, he still felt the need to protect her.He stormed over. "What's your problem? Why did you hit my wife? So, you're this worthless guy's father, huh? Keep your son in check! Don't let him keep coming around as a homewrecker!"Susan trembled at his words, reaching out to stop him, but it was too late.Wilfred sneered, glancing at her. "My son is a homewrecker?""No, he is not," Susan stammered, desperate to explain.Oblivious to her fear, Milo put his hands on his hips and spat like a shrew. "Why isn't he a homewrecker? Susan and I have been married for five years. Your son keeps clinging to her for her money. I've seen too many people like him. Make him apologize to me, and maybe I'l
Terrified, Susan hurriedly made her way to the cold storage room.Milo forced a smile, one that looked completely out of place against his wild expression. The contrast made it almost terrifying.He wrapped his arm around Susan's shoulder, acting all spoiled. "Honey, you're here. Promise me, from now on, don't have any more contact with him, okay? I don't care about your past. It's normal for a successful woman to have a few men on the line. I'll forgive you as long as you make him disappear from my life."The fire was extinguished, and I lay on the cold floor, gasping for breath.Susan trembled uncontrollably, especially when she felt my sharp gaze from behind her. Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, but Milo was unaware.He pressed on, "Honey...""Shut up!" Susan snapped, raising her hand and slapping him across the face.Milo's right cheek swelled instantly; faint blood vessels were visible beneath his skin. His eyes widened with disbelief and welled up with tears."Why di
Milo ripped the rag from my mouth and raised his voice in a furious demand. "Are you really Barney Tucker?"Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth. I gave him a cold, broken smile. "Now you believe me? Then do the right thing and take Allison to..."Before I could finish, his hand struck across my face with a loud, stinging crack. "Shut up! I'm Susan's husband. So what if you're a Tucker? Doesn't change the fact that you're a homewrecker."He took out his phone and shoved it in my face. On the screen was a photo of their marriage certificate, the date burning into my mind.I laughed bitterly, finally understanding why Susan had always worked late these past five years. She hadn't been busy with work at all. She'd been married to Milo.I had been such a fool, worried about her exhaustion and begging Allison to send talented people to assist her, and what had she done in return? Lying to be with Milo.In our seven-year relationship, she had spent five of them dating another man
