The headline read, "A Rising Star in the Art World—Cynthia Roth and Her Goodnight Gallery."That was how Luke learned that Cynthia had opened a gallery. He clutched the magazine as if he'd just been slapped hard across the face. His self-assured understanding of Cynthia shattered in that moment.He found her gallery. It was located in the most bustling part of the city, on land worth a fortune.On opening day, the place was packed with celebrities and distinguished guests.Standing at the edge of the crowd and watching Cynthia shine as everyone flocked around her, Luke felt small for the first time.She looked thinner but radiant, with light makeup accentuating features that now carried a sharpness and distance she'd never shown before.He wanted to rush over, grab her, and ask why she'd done this to him. But he didn't have the courage. In the end, he could only spy on her from the corner like a thief.It wasn't until the reception ended and the last guests had drifted away that

Moreover, the company used its connections to blacklist Luke and Ruby across the entire financial industry.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"His face twisted with fury as he gripped her throat.Ruby was terrified, crying and begging him to stop."Luke, it wasn't me! I didn't know this would happen either. Let go of me! I can't breathe."Luke looked at her tear-streaked face and suddenly felt a wave of revulsion. He couldn't believe he'd actually lost everything for a woman like this.He abruptly released her, his

Third-Person Point of ViewLuke took Ruby to the hospital. Between the examination and getting Ruby's wound bandaged, the whole night slipped away.The doctor said it was just a minor cut, nothing serious. Only then did Luke breathe a sigh of relief.By the time he had Ruby settled, it was already dawn. He drove through the empty streets, both mentally and physically exhausted.The thought of Cynthia waiting at home, hysterical, sent a wave of headache and irritation through him. He couldn't understand how the once gentle and lovely Cynthia had turned out like this.He chalked it all up to the trauma of losing the baby and thought that once she calmed down after a while, everything would be fine.They still had a long future ahead of them, so there was no way he would get a divorce. After all, he was always sure of his love for Cynthia.As for Ruby, that was just a mistake—the kind men sometimes made. He would handle it.Luke came home and opened the door. The house was pitch b

Luke shoved me aside and rushed over to embrace Ruby."Ruby, are you okay? Are you hurt?"Trembling in his arms, Ruby pointed at me and said, her voice trembling with fear, "L-Luke, I-I'm bleeding. Cynthia tried to kill me.""Don't be scared. I'll take you to the hospital."Luke anxiously lifted Ruby in his arms and turned to leave."Luke," I called out.He stopped and looked back, his eyes blazing with rage."Cynthia, you've really disappointed me. How did you turn into this crazy, hysterical woman?"I ignored his accusations and just looked at him calmly."Let's get a divorce."This time, my voice carried nothing but stillness.He froze, as if it hadn't occurred to him that even now, I would still be asking for a divorce."What are you making a scene about now?" he snapped irritably. "Ruby's bleeding, so can't you just drop it?""I'm not making a scene." I pulled out the divorce agreement from my pocket and tossed it at his feet. "Sign it. I don't want the house, the car

With every word I spoke, Luke's face turned a shade paler.Not wanting to drag this out any longer, I lay back down. I needed to recover my strength so that I could leave this mess behind.Seeing that I'd fallen silent, Luke seemed to relax a little. He came over and straightened the blanket around me."Cynthia, just rest well. Once you're better, we'll go home and forget all this, okay?"I closed my eyes and didn't answer.In the days that followed, I stopped resisting and asking for a divorce. Luke thought I'd finally given in, so he let his guard down.The day I was discharged from the hospital, I froze the moment I got home.The watercolor painting that had always hung on the wall by the entrance—My father, Owen Roth, had drawn it for me before he died—was gone."Where's the painting?" I asked in a trembling voice.Luke's eyes flickered away."Oh, that… A few days ago, an important client came by. He really liked it, so I lent it to him for a while.""Which client?""Wh
