With Valentine’s Day approaching, my husband, Edwin Welles, finally freed up his schedule and agreed to spend the holiday with me. I joked that he must be the busiest man in the world. After all, the acting chairman had no time for the actual chairman. However, as soon as we entered the cinema, his phone rang. With just a single glance at the screen, a trace of panic appeared on his normally composed face. “Honey, a serious problem has come up with the tech project. I have to go back and deal with it.” I watched him walk out through the ticket checkpoint. The surrounding noise of the crowd made my chest feel tight. All of the company’s tech projects utilized my father’s patents. He was the dean of the top research institute and the company’s chairman, yet he had not received any news of a problem. What could Edwin, a research novice, possibly need to go back to handle? I opened the phone tracker app and followed him. I would just have to see for myself what this “serious problem” really was!

When we returned to the subject at hand, Edwin’s expression turned serious again. He said, “Before I set off that bomb, I already knew how it would go. You’d survive. Only Amy and I would die.“That was going to be my way of paying them back for raising me.”He paused for a moment, then shook his head and continued, “Correction: they raised me, but they never taught me anything.“Everything I learned growing up was just hate. Hate piled on top of more hate.“It got so overwhelming, I started questioning it. It made me sick.“Then, I met you.”I quickly waved my hand and said, exasperatedly, “Spare me the sentimental talk. I get the gist.”Then, looking at the two restraining devices on his shoulders, I hesitated slightly before asking, “So... what are you going to do now?”Edwin pretended to think it over. Then, he wore an expression of utter resignation and self-pity.“No clue. The assassination failed, and you don’t want me around anymore. I guess I’ll head to a dangerous sp

This revelation caught me completely off guard.Edwin laughed when he saw the shock on my face.“That’s how I thought your face would look. I was just a kid. My mom and dad said we were going out to get candy, like always.“But on the way, they just... let go of my hand. They walked right up to you and asked for directions.“I didn’t get what was happening. I was too scared to do anything but follow them to your neighborhood.“And then...”He left his sentence hanging. We both knew how the incident had scarred us as children.“Later, people came to me. They said my parents did a great job. They called them heroes.”Hearing that familiar rhetoric made me clench my fists.Those monsters. They stopped at nothing.Edwin clapped his hands softly. When he looked at me, his eyes held something dark and almost inhuman.“Look at me, Sienna. You told me once that you spent your whole life trying to be like your mother. Well, here’s the thing. So have I.”He exhaled softly and suppres

I looked at him calmly. His expression seemed genuine.Pieces of the past began to surface. I remembered that during the cleanup back then, there was a young boy who had been watching my house from not too far away.“You’re that little boy from back then? Why did you do all of this?”However, after saying those words, Edwin lost all energy to speak.He just stared into space. After a long while, he finally said softly, “We’re even now.”I felt dazed. If we were talking about debts, Edwin owed me far beyond what he could count.This incident could not be dismissed so simply.However, when I turned my head, I spotted a glint of light in the distance.My father followed my gaze, and he instantly sensed that something was wrong. Countless lasers immediately locked onto that spot.Yet the scan came back empty. No one was there.Edwin slowly stood up. He glanced at the result and let out a resigned sigh.“Alright, you can put the crime suppressor on me. I’ll tell you everything yo

By the time I returned to school, my mother’s death was already recorded in the textbooks.When I took the SAT, her story could be used as material for the essay section.When I entered the scientific research field, her name was mentioned everywhere I turned.I studied obsessively. I sacrificed everything. All of it was to honor my mother and carry on the legacy she left unfinished.However, the trauma response triggered by that buzzing sound from the human bomb still haunted me like a nightmare I could not escape.I could only hide with it in the dark, alone.As it was happening again, was I going to watch it take my father this time?Had I pushed myself to the brink all those years to grow stronger, only to see the same tragedy play out all over again?No way. Not this time.“Electrostatic field, now!”My shout drowned out the buzzing noise. Then, a wave of azure energy rippled outward from where I stood.The piercing hum vanished instantly. All that remained was absolute

When the executives saw my bloody face and the rage in my eyes, they began muttering amongst themselves.“Wait a minute. What if Sienna’s actually the real wife? So, Amy’s the mistress? Wow, that’s messed up.”“Yeah, look at her. She doesn’t exactly seem crazy.”The whispers grew louder as Edwin’
