LOGINI've been in a relationship with Wendy Hudson for ten years. Somehow, I'm not surprised at all when I find out that she's been cheating on me. But what surprises me is the fact that she's been cheating on me with her uncle, Timothy Zuckerman. On our wedding anniversary, Wendy finally fulfills her promise to go on another honeymoon trip with me to make it up to me for the lost one. But as soon as we arrive at the airport, her phone gets crammed with text messages instantly. All it takes is one glance at the phone for her brows to be tangled into a frown, which is weird, considering that she's the type who keeps her composure at all times. "Darling, my best friend has been hospitalized because of an acute disease. I need to visit her right now." The way Wendy speaks is very rapid. The genuine anxiety on her face makes it difficult for me to say no. As I watch her silhouette disappear from the VIP passageway, I rip up the ticket in my hands. Then, I tap on my phone to see the photo my assistant has just sent me. Heh… The truth is, Wendy's best friend is currently on a honeymoon trip with her boyfriend in another country. How is it possible for said friend to get hospitalized due to an acute disease? I'd like to see who on earth Wendy is actually visiting at the hospital!
View MoreWendy looked at me, confusion flashing in her eyes, but anger quickly overtook it. "You know exactly what you did."I was just as baffled. When had I ever wronged her?Seeing the genuine confusion on my face, she unlocked her phone and threw it at me. "These are the videos Tim sent me over the past year. Take a good look."I caught the phone and opened the files. The screen showed me with different women in different places, all of which were intimate and ambiguous scenes.The problem was, I had no idea who any of these women were, nor had I ever even been to those places. The more I watched, the stranger it felt.I paused the video and zoomed in carefully, then hurled the phone back at her."Hey! You're the one who cheated on me! Why are you throwing it in my face?"I didn't answer. My fingers moved quickly across my own phone, typing and pulling up files.The guests around us began whispering again."We're not trying to gossip, but Mr. Jake is kinda… scandalous.""Yeah. I m
Those words shattered the last of Wendy's illusions. Everything that she ever knew about the past crumbled into cruel truths. For a moment, her life became foreign to her."Was Mr. Hudson telling the truth? You really sent my mom onto that ship and killed her?"Luther gritted his teeth. "It was an accident. The men I sent to protect her were exposed—""Stop talking! I don't want to hear a thing!" she screamed. "Why? I just want to know why!"No one knew where he found the strength, but he suddenly broke free from Harold's hold and shoved her aside. "You think I wanted that? You think I didn't love your mother? Back then, our supply chain collapsed. There was a massive cash shortfall."I had no way out. I listened to those people and used false intelligence to lure him onto that ship. If I hadn't, our family would've been finished! They promised me nothing would happen. That was why I even let your mother go on board."Do you honestly think her death hasn't torn me apart? I…""Oh
Luther sighed, his head bowed low. "Jakey… I'll be shameless one last time and call you that. I just have one question—do you still have feelings for Wendy?"I stared at him, confused. I didn't understand why he was asking this now. When I glanced at Wendy and then at my bleeding hand, I knew my feelings more than ever."After everything today, she's shown me exactly what kind of person she really is. I won't have feelings for her anymore."At that, Luther suddenly bowed his head, ready to plead more.Before he could even do so, Harold kicked him to the side. "Have some shame, you old geezer! I'd hate to see Mr. Jake be miserable because of her!""Jakey, listen to me," Luther begged."However you feel toward Wendy now is valid, but remember, she only made a mistake. She doesn't deserve to die! What happens between us fathers should stay between us; don't drag the younger generation into it. I'm begging you to have mercy on her!"Even Wendy, stubborn as a mule, began to sense tha
The roar of the helicopter darkened Luther's visage. He glared at me, teeth clenched. "You thought calling for backups would save you?"I forced the words out through gritted teeth. "Try taking a look at who's here.""Heard you've been looking for me all these years, Luther."An authoritative voice echoed through the room, leaving everyone stunned. They turned and saw Dad."Oh, my God. Isn't that the nation's richest man?""Why… How is he here? Wasn't he dead?""He sure was. I even saw the news about his death recently and left flowers in the comments."Unlike the other guests, everyone in the Miller family went pale. They stared at Dad in shock.Janet's voice trembled as she exclaimed, "N-No way! This is impossible! How could you still be alive? Back then, we clearly—""Clearly bribed me to trap Mr. Miller to his death, right?" said a man beside Dad.Not only was I shocked, but even Luther and Janet looked like they had seen a ghost when we saw the man. Their eyes were wide
