Chapter 1

Author: Puppy Blanket
Inside the study, the two of them hadn't noticed my presence. They continued calmly discussing their plan.

Lucy Camden's younger brother, Reese Camden, spoke in a suggestive tone.

"Carl, my sister was in a car accident last week. Her eyes were injured… The doctor said it might affect her vision. What should we do?"

Carl's voice was as cold and merciless as a devil's whisper. "It's just a pair of eyes. I'll arrange a car accident for Reily and have her sent to the hospital. Then we'll find someone to remove her corneas for Lucy. Everything will be done quietly and cleanly."

My body trembled harder. Afraid they'd notice me, I staggered back to my room.

Fortunately, Carl had to go out tonight for work, leaving me home alone. Otherwise, I feared I might lose control and confront him in a blind fury.

The next evening, his younger sister, Iris Manos, came over for dinner.

She caught sight of the mountain of gifts piled up in the living room—gifts he had bought for me—and snorted. Casting a dissatisfied glance at Carl, she said, "Carl, don't you think you're being too good to that cripple? You've spent a fortune on her these past few years. I heard you're planning to take her corneas soon. Once she's blind, what use is she to us? One of my business partners used to be a fan of her concerts… Why don't you just hand her over to—"

Before she could finish, Carl raised his hand to cut her off, his gaze sharp with disapproval.

"She's still my wife and your sister-in-law, at least in the eyes of the world. And you want to hand her over to another man? Do you want me to be humiliated?"

Iris froze at his words, then muttered, "Sorry. I just thought… you seem like you're falling for that cripple. But think about it, we've done so many terrible things to her. If she ever finds out the truth, she'll hate us to the bone. Wouldn't it be better to get rid of her sooner rather than later?"

Staring at the live feed on my phone, I clenched my fists, doing everything I could to stay quiet and not betray the presence of the hidden pinhole cameras I'd installed in the living room.

Ever since I overheard Carl's plans that night, I'd secretly set up cameras around the house to monitor his every move.

Lucy must be thrilled, having Carl to protect her.

And me? I've been married to him for three years and loved him like a savior for three years, only to discover he was the one who destroyed me from the start.

After calming myself, I went downstairs like nothing had happened.

The moment Carl saw me, he gently placed his warm hand over my eyes, his voice full of feigned tenderness.

"Crying again? That's not good for your eyes. Were you thinking about those old nightmares again? I told you, didn't I? I've already taken care of those kidnappers."

But he didn't care about my eyes. He only feared they'd be damaged before he could hand them over to Lucy.

I looked straight at him, searching his face for any sign of deceit. But he was flawless. Not a crack in sight.

Bitterness welled up in my chest.

  • He Ruined His Savior   Chapter 9

    "A chance? You turned a healthy person into a cripple, and now you talk about second chances? Get lost, Carl, you're nothing but scum!"You and Lucy are both insane. What kind of sane person claims to repay kindness by inflicting pain? Lucy was a fool. Are you just as pathetic as her?"If you truly want to repent, then swear, right here in front of me, that you'll never interfere with my life again."Carl dropped to his knees, pleading, "Losing you is the greatest punishment. Reily, come back with me. I've already taken care of the Camden siblings. Let's start over. I promise I'll make you the happiest woman in the world."His kneeling didn't move me. On the contrary, I found him utterly revolting."Seriously, just fuck off. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I already have a boyfriend. If you so much as think of hurting him, I'll take you down with me."The word "boyfriend" visibly rattled him. Panic flared in his eyes as he tried to compose himself."That's fine… Even if I have to b

    "Principal Walton, the students really like you. They're hoping you'll add a few more classes."The speaker was my close friend, Benjamin Wilder, a fellow pianist. Gentle and refined, he had a warmth in his smile that could heal even the most wounded heart.We had met by chance in this foreign land, and to my surprise, he chose to stay and help me build this school from the ground up.I smiled. "You're being modest. The kids adore you more. I'm just their second favorite."Benjamin lifted the plastic bag in his hand and gave it a shake. It was filled with various ingredients."I bought groceries. Want to come over for dinner tonight?""Sounds great."We chatted and laughed as we made our way to his home.The sun dipped slowly into the deep blue sea, painting the sky in hues of orange and gold. Seagulls circled above, calling out as they soared.In that moment, I felt nothing but happiness and freedom.A month later, Benjamin and I naturally confirmed our relationship. I thoug

  • He Ruined His Savior   Chapter 7

    "The staff discovered that Madam was no longer in the holding room. A few hours later, her body was found in the artificial lake. Parts of it had been eaten by fish. She was barely recognizable. But we managed to recover some of her personal belongings."When Carl rushed home, all he found were the divorce papers and a final note.One simple line was written in her handwriting. "Now that I'm dead, no one will fight your precious Lucy anymore."Suddenly, Carl coughed up a mouthful of blood. The agony crushed him from within."Reily… why didn't you wait for me to come back? I could've explained everything…"Just then, the butler entered the room, carrying the urn that held her ashes.Carl took it into his arms. Mixed in with the ashes were charred fragments of bone and a partially burned finger.He froze.And then, he broke down crying."You loved the piano so much… and I had someone cut your tendons. How could I have destroyed your dreams? Reily… I was blind. How could I not re

    Lucy beamed. "So what if I wasn’t the one who saved Carl? My career still took off. Reily being my stepping stone was her own damn blessing."Just as she finished speaking, a staff member walked over and whispered, "Ms. Camden, your mic is still on."At that moment, Lucy turned to see Carl's face darken. The fury in his eyes could burn through steel.…Reese's legs buckled beneath him. He nearly lost his footing and stammered, "C-Carl, it's not what you think. Lucy and I just wanted to teach Reily a small lesson."Carl wasn't a fool. He could tell truth from lies. "Reily is my wife. And you disfigured her face?"Without warning, he kicked Reese square in the chest.Reese hit the ground hard. His ribs snapped beneath the blow. Blood spilled from his mouth as he gasped for mercy.Lucy, unable to bear watching her brother get beaten, rushed to defend him."You've misunderstood Reese! Reily tried to hurt him first, and he only scratched her by accident. He's innocent!"Smack!Ca

  • He Ruined His Savior   Chapter 5

    At eight p.m., the person I'd arranged arrived to pick me up.Under the cover of night, they smuggled me out of the Manos family estate without a sound.As the car moved forward, the silhouette of the villa shrank behind us. Just then, Carl called. His voice was cold and sharp."I've convinced Lucy not to call the police. But the condition is you kneel and apologize.""And if I don't?""Reily, don't push your luck!"I let out a sigh. "Carl, do you know what I regret most in this life? It's saving you from that fire. I should've let you die there. Maybe then my life wouldn't have turned out this miserable."I ended the call and immediately blocked his number.On the other end of the line, Carl stood frozen in disbelief.…"What's wrong, Carl?"Lucy noticed the change in his expression. A vague sense of unease crept into her chest.She had been standing nearby during his call with Reily and heard every word.Carl's eyes were clouded with something like confusion."She just s

  • He Ruined His Savior   Chapter 4

    "This time, I won't just ruin your hands. I'll blind you too. Let's see if you still dare to compete with me."The words hit me like a thunderclap. I never imagined Lucy's malice could run this deep.I turned to run, but before I could take more than a step, Reese swung a wooden stick hard against my legs. Then again, across my back, without mercy."Run again, and I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life crippled."In a panic, I grabbed a handful of dirt from the floor and threw it at his face. While he flinched, I snatched the stick from him and struck back.Lucy, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly lunged forward, shielding Reese with her body.The next second, Carl burst through the door, brow furrowed, eyes fixed on Lucy's bruised arm."Lucy, are you okay? Your hand! Does it hurt?"…Lucy's arm was turning purple. Tears spilled down her cheeks. She looked fragile and pitiful."Carl," she choked out, "Reily had me kidnapped. If Reese hadn't gotten here in ti
