Tragic Love

Mistress

Bias

Hypocrisy

Face Slapping

Regret

Winning Back the Wife

After dating Asher Bennett for ten years, he finally proposes to me. He puts a blindfold on me, claiming that he wants to give me a surprise. But the moment I step into the room, I feel a bucket of cold water being splashed onto me. "When are you going to wake up from your fantasies, Claire Sutton? Why would I even marry you in the first place?" With trembling hands, I take off the blindfold, only to see Asher sitting on the couch while drinking some alcohol languidly. "See? I told you she'd come! Whoever's the loser of this bet, you'd better pay for the drinks!" Upon noticing my silence, Asher says mockingly, "Hey, Claire! You're not getting any younger, you know! So, you might as well just marry some random dude at this point to avoid growing old all by your lonesome!" The moment his words fall, his friends all laugh at me while looking at me in disdain. But when I follow Asher's instructions and marry another man, why is it that he regrets letting me go?

Chapter 1

Asher Bennett greeted the server with a laugh.

"Waiter, bring me one glass of every drink on this menu! And one of each appetizer too!"

After speaking, he pulled a hundred-dollar bill from his friend's pocket and handed it to the server as a tip. The moment I saw that, I knew I'd been made a fool of again.

Asher's friend complained loudly. "Holy shit, how can you be so stupid?

"Anyone could tell this was fake! As if you'd ever get this lucky!

"Seriously, Claire Sutton, can you stop being so full of yourself? Why would he ever marry you?"

As I listened to them mock me back and forth, I clenched my jaw so hard it hurt.

Asher downed a glass of whiskey, then said with mock sincerity, "Free drinks really do taste better. Thanks so much!

"But don't feel too bad. After all, I did promise you a surprise."

He fished a cheap bracelet out of the trash can and held it out to me. The woman beside him couldn't help but chime in.

"Asher, why are you giving her someone's garbage?"

As she spoke, she made a point of showing off the expensive designer bracelet on her own wrist. Her eyes were full of mockery. Asher stared at me and smirked.

"Claire doesn't care about material things like that. She loves anything I give her. Right, Claire?"

When I took the bracelet, his friend sneered. "Wow, talk about being desperate. She really took it."

In the past, I would have argued until I was hoarse. However, now, I simply took the bracelet and used it as a hair tie to pull my hair back.

"Thanks. I'm supposed to be making toasts today, and loose hair wouldn't look right."

Asher paused for a second, then burst out laughing.

"Wait, Claire, you actually took that seriously? Making toasts? Do you think I'd ever bring someone like you home to meet my parents?

"You're living in a fantasy. There's seriously something wrong with you!"

He crossed his legs and looked at me with pure disgust. Even though I'd expected this, hearing him say it out loud still hurt.

The truth was, I'd known all along that today's proposal was nothing but a cruel joke.

Yesterday at noon, I made lunch as usual and brought it to Asher's office. Just as I reached his door, I heard laughter coming from inside.

Through the crack in the doorway, I could see Asher sitting on the couch with a cigarette in his hand.

"Asher, you're something else. Only you would get a kick out of bets like this. But let's see if this delusional woman actually falls for it this time!"

"You've tricked her so many times already, though. Will she really believe it again? I remember she got pretty mad last time!"

"How about this? If Asher loses the bet, we can have Violet sing for us. I heard she's studying music..."Before he could finish, Asher kicked him to the ground. His face turned terrifyingly dark."What the hell do you think Violet is? She's a serious music student! Not some bar chick!"Everyone in their circle knew that Violet Shaw was the person Asher cared about most. Her reputation mattered more to him than his own life. If anyone said a single bad word about Violet, they'd end up broken and bleeding the next day.The guy who'd just made the joke immediately dropped to his knees to apologize. "I'm sorry, Asher!"I'm an idiot, I'm sick in the head. You're the bigger man here, so just ignore me!"Watching this, I felt like my heart was being ripped apart. I didn't even realize I was crying until the tears soaked my collar.Asher had long forgotten the promises he had once made to me."Little girl, from now on, you'll stay with me. I'll protect you. No one will dare to hurt yo

In my desperation, I shouted, "I already have a husband! He'll be here any minute!"The moment those words left my mouth, everyone froze before bursting into laughter."Claire, give it a rest. Aren't you tired of living a lie?""Seriously, Ray's crazy about you. Don't break his heart like that!""Get together! Get together! Kiss her! Kiss her!"Watching me get humiliated, Asher showed no concern whatsoever. Instead, he joined in the jeering."Claire, I actually think you and Ray make a pretty good match."I clenched my fists and said through gritted teeth, "I told you, I already have a husband!"If you don't believe me, you can all come with me to city hall and see for yourselves!"Worried they still wouldn't believe me, I reached into my bag for an invitation, only to remember I'd handed out the last one yesterday. When she saw my expression, Violet put on a sympathetic act."Claire, you know I've always had your back, but this time I really need to speak up for Ray."He fi

"Isn't that the Star of Radiance from the auction?"Asher attended auctions constantly, so naturally, he recognized the name. He came up close, grabbed my hand, and stared at the diamond ring.After a long moment, he looked up and demanded, "Where did you get this? This thing is worth over a hundred million dollars."I froze. I hadn't realized the ring was that expensive. Derek Powell had given it to me when we got engaged.Seeing me lost in thought, Asher mocked, "You didn't steal it, did you? Even if you sold every organ in your body, you probably couldn't scrape together a fraction of what this costs."Just as I was about to speak, my phone rang. I pushed through the crowd and ran to a quiet spot to answer."Okay, I'll be right there. Wait for me."When I hung up and turned around, Asher was standing right behind me. He was holding a cigarette, and his expression was unreadable."Oh, don't tell me that was your so-called husband calling?"I nodded seriously. "Yes, it's time

Hearing the word "honey", my cheeks flushed with unexpected warmth. I looked up to meet Derek's handsome features. He gazed at me, and his eyes were filled with concern."I'm sorry. I was going to buy you a bouquet for our wedding photos. Then, I remembered that you're allergic to pollen. So I made you these ribbon flowers instead. That's why I'm a bit late."I shook my head and smiled. "It's okay."He had his assistant retrieve a large batch of wedding favors from the trunk and distributed them to everyone."Hello, everyone. Today is a special day for my wife and me. I'm so happy, and I want to share this joy with all of you."People opened their bags and froze."Oh my God, the wedding favors are the latest smartphones and luxury skincare products!""I've never seen such extravagant wedding favors. This is incredible!""They're perfect together! He's handsome, and she's beautiful!""Wait, who was it that said they'd give us all ten thousand if the groom showed up?"Everyone

"Besides, if that guy's really so impressive, why would he be interested in Claire Sutton?"Asher nodded in agreement. "Exactly. She's definitely lying to me. After all these years, has she ever run out of tricks?"He looked less irritated. He pulled out his phone and instructed, "I ordered some flowers for Violet. Go pick them up later."This had been Asher's habit for years. Every three days, he'd buy several bouquets and have them delivered to Violet's house.I remembered the day he suddenly brought Violet home to our place. He said she'd fought with her parents and would be staying with us for a few days.The next morning, when I woke up, I found the living room filled with flowers. I was severely allergic to pollen.Within moments, I could barely breathe, and tiny, itchy, red bumps covered my entire body. I rushed back to my bedroom to take my allergy medication.When Violet saw what happened, she put on a show of concern. "Claire, I really didn't know you were allergic to

"I've been holding back from exposing your little act, and you should be grateful for that!"Hearing this, my temper flared. "Asher! Even now, who's the one who's putting on an act? Which one of us is lying to themselves?"I told you, I really did get married!"Seeing me frown, Derek said with restrained anger, "Let her go! Can't you see she's not feeling well?"Asher laughed as if he'd heard the funniest joke. "Wow, so committed to the role. You two must have put a lot of effort into this performance."Derek didn't waste any more words on him. He forcefully pulled Asher's hand away."Ah!" Asher cried out in pain."Claire Sutton, I'm asking you one more time. Are you coming with me or not?"If you don't come with me, don't even think about coming back!"Before I could respond, Derek spoke first. "Why would my wife go home with you? She has me now. I'm her home."With that, he pulled our marriage certificate from his pocket and shoved it in Asher's face."Look closely! This i

The boat docked right beside the island. As we stepped off, the first thing I saw was posters. They were everywhere.They clearly read, "Welcome to the wedding of Claire Sutton and Derek Powell."The ground was covered with a red carpet, lined with handmade silk flowers that would never wilt. I wondered how long Derek had spent making them.I deliberately turned to look at Asher. His face was dark.I followed Derek upstairs to get my makeup done and change into my wedding dress. While doing my makeup, the makeup artist chatted with me."You know, your husband flew all the way overseas just to get me to do your makeup. I was on vacation, but he threw enough money at me to make me come."Men who think this much about their wives are rare."My face grew warm for some reason. I'd told him any makeup artist would be fine, but he'd hired the celebrity makeup artist I'd admired for years.So this was what real love looked like. You wanted to give them the very best of everything.Aft

"Claire!"Mom walked over with Dad, smiling brightly. The moment she saw Asher, her smile fell instantly. Her eyes held clear disapproval."Ash, you came to Claire's wedding too? How come I didn't see you earlier?"Asher couldn't very well admit he'd been restrained by security guards, so he lied. "I was in the bathroom, so I didn't get a chance to say hello."Mom waved dismissively and forced out a stiff smile. When she found out I was getting married, she was thrilled, especially when she learned the groom wasn't Asher. She couldn't have been happier.After all, she'd watched me pine after Asher for years. However, once she found out I'd been mistreated the whole time, she immediately told me to cut ties with him.Mom flipped through the guest book in her hand and said irritably, "You and Claire have known each other for so many years. Surely you have some regard for her. How could you not even give her a gift?"Hearing this, Asher's face went pale. He'd come here to watch me

However, this time, no matter how long Violet waited, Asher showed no intention of responding. Her face darkened as she spoke again."Asher, let's go. My stomach doesn't feel well. Let's go home."In the next second, Asher shoved her to the ground and roared, "If you're not feeling well, go find a doctor! Why are you coming to me? Am I a doctor?"Violet was startled by his outburst. Tears streamed down her face. "Asher, what's wrong with you?"Asher turned around, and his face was twisted with rage. "I'm telling you right now to get out of my sight! I never want to see you again!"Violet's eyes widened in disbelief. "What do you mean? Are you breaking up with me?"Asher laughed bitterly. "Breaking up? Were we even together? And you're talking about breaking up?"Only now did Violet realize she'd been dumped too. She stood up and grabbed his collar tightly."How dare you use me like this? After everything we did, you're saying this to me now? Are you even a man?"Asher rubbed h
