My sister had struggled with severe depression for years, and the only thing that seemed to ease her pain was her dog, Toto, who had become her constant companion. But when her illness flared up again, Toto was nowhere to be found. Then, my husband, Lionel Cress's childhood sweetheart posted a picture of Toto on social media. [With her, it feels like you're here with me.] I lost it. I called Lionel in a frenzy, but despite being my sister's psychologist, he was completely indifferent. "Your sister has been sick for so long. How could she suddenly relapse just because Toto's gone for a few days?" When I rushed back home, I found my sister in the bathroom, her wrists cut. Later, Toto's body was discovered outside our building, with Lionel's gift to his childhood sweetheart—a ring—lying next to her. I buried both my sister and Toto, and left behind nothing but a divorce agreement. Lionel went crazy, desperately trying to find me.

If Only You Knew Chapter 8
Maisie was right. I didn't have any proof of Lionel's affair.But I knew Lionel well enough to understand how he worked. If he even had the slightest doubt, the smallest hesitation that something would drag him down, he would get rid of it without a second thought. And this time, it wasn't just about his ego—it was about his career.Lionel had always been selfish. He could show Maisie affection, but when it came down to it, he would always choose himself. If it came to a breaking point, he wouldn't hesitate to abandon her just to protect himself.This was the man I had loved for so many years. Only now could I truly see him for what he was. How pathetic.The next day, as expected, Lionel sent me the signed divorce papers.I was about to celebrate at home when my phone started blowing up with messages. They were links sent by my friends.[June, is she talking about you? What's going on?]I clicked on a link, and there was Maisie's tear-streaked face on a video.It looked like a

When I got home with the flash drive containing the copied files, I was still in a daze, overwhelmed by the pain of seeing Toto's tragic death on the video. The next day, I took Hope's favorite flowers and Toto's favorite treats to the cemetery. But as soon as I arrived, I saw a familiar figure. Lionel was standing by Hope's grave, and when he saw me, he rushed over to where I stood. "June, I finally found you…" He grabbed my hand. "Come on. Let's go home, okay?" I shook his hand off coldly. "Lionel, didn't you see the divorce papers? It's over." Lionel shook his head, his posture so desperate it almost seemed like he was going to grovel. "No, June, I can explain. I'll make it up to you for everything. I just… I just can't lose you." I glared at him. "How did you even find this place?" Before Lionel could answer, Maisie appeared at my side. "I helped Lionel find it." Seeing Maisie again made my anger flare. I could barely control the urge to rip her apart. Maisi

The next day, I checked myself out of the hospital. Lionel wasn't there, probably off with Maisie, and for once, I found the absence of his incessant presence oddly relieving. When I got home, I packed my suitcase. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I'd already secured a place to rent, so moving was easy. During my time at the hospital, I'd also managed to find a lawyer and signed the divorce papers. I left the documents at home. I'd just finished unpacking at my new place when Lionel's call came in. Without hesitation, I hung up. But, as usual, he didn't give up. He called again and again, until I blocked every single way he could contact me. Finally, it was quiet.Sitting on the couch, I stared at the photo of Hope and Toto on the table, lost in thought. It felt like hours before I pulled Maisie's necklace from my pocket. I held it up under the light, examining it carefully. When I first found it, I hadn't thought to check it closely and just took a quick glance before I

While Lionel was stunned, I remained surprisingly calm.He glanced at me cautiously, his voice trembling. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Did Hope's condition worsen because she couldn't find Toto?" The image of Hope in her final moments flashed in my mind. Her frail wrists were covered in scars, and she lay in a pool of blood, her face as pale as paper. Tears welled up in my eyes as I countered, "What do you think? It's been three months—three months since Maisie came back. Have you even bothered to check on Hope? You knew how much Toto meant to her, but you just didn't care!" Lionel had no words to respond, his head hanging low in silence. I couldn't help but feel disgusted. The doctor, sensing the tension, waved for Lionel to step outside. I turned away, overwhelmed by an exhaustion that seemed to weigh on my every bone. It wasn't until nightfall that Lionel returned to the hospital room. When he saw me standing by the window, he rushed over and embraced me from b

Lionel stood frozen, a flash of guilt flickering across his face. He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.He opened the door and found Maisie standing on the other side.Surprised, he asked, "Maisie, what are you doing here?"Maisie smiled faintly. "That necklace I left with June, it's very important to me. You gave it to me back then..."She then gave me a soft, meaningful glance, her eyes speaking volumes.I didn't respond, pretending I hadn't seen it, and silently went back to packing my things.Lionel cleared his throat and stepped forward, halting my movements. "Give me the necklace."I shook my head.It was the only evidence that could prove Maisie had a hand in Toto's death.I couldn't let him have it.Lionel's patience was clearly running thin. "What do you want with that necklace?"I looked at him coldly. "It's the evidence that Maisie killed Toto. Why should I give it to you?"Maisie, standing to the side, spoke softly, "June
If Only You Knew Chapter 3
Lionel stared at me, stunned. "June, you want a divorce? Just because of a dog?" The pain shot through me in an instant, but I quickly forced it aside, my voice growing colder. "Lionel, Toto wasn't just a dog. She'd been part of my family for three years! She was also Hope's lifeline. But you ripped Toto out of Hope's life with your own hands!" Lionel's anger was evident now. He scowled, his teeth grinding as he hissed, "Fine. Fine. You'd better not regret this." I turned away, but before I could take another step, something flew through the air and sliced across my face. I blinked in shock and looked down to see what it was. It was our wedding ring. Lionel's voice echoed from behind me. "Take your ring and get lost! Don't bother coming back asking for my forgiveness!" I didn't pick up the ring and kicked it down the stairs instead. When I returned home, I sat next to Toto's lifeless body for the entire night, numb and lost. By morning, the sting on my face was still sh
