In Time, the Truth Chapter 9
I casually flipped through the guest list, wearing the new fragrance David had created for me. It was a blend of white tea and bergamot.I said to Alex indifferently, "Would you eat a slice of cake after a fly touched it? Dirty things disgust me."After being turned away repeatedly, Alex finally fell into complete despair. That day, he returned home in a daze, only to hear disturbing sounds from outside his bedroom door."Hurry up! Mr. Carter will be back soon!" It was Brooke's coquettish yet urgent voice.A rough male voice responded, "What are you worried about? That guy is like a lost soul now, running around trying to find that woman every day. He doesn't have time to worry about you!" It was her cousin, Eric."I haven't touched a woman in ages. You'd better take good care of me!"Brooke's voice was filled with venom. "That woman is so lucky! When I had you send people to assault her last time, David actually saved her!"And before that, I had you put stuff in the food she

"Excuse me, who are you?"Alex froze like he'd been struck by lightning, his face turning as white as a sheet in an instant. The hospital room fell so silent that you could almost hear heartbeats.David's attending physician stepped forward at the perfect moment, explaining the situation with a grave expression. "Mr. Carter, the patient previously underwent high-dose chemotherapy, which can damage brain neurons. Combined with the oxygen deprivation from drowning, selective amnesia is possible.""Chemo... Chemotherapy?" Alex grabbed the doctor's collar like a crazed animal. "What chemotherapy? What was wrong with her?"He turned to me, his voice shaking uncontrollably. "Em, I'm Alex! I'm your husband!"I tilted my head, studying him like a stranger, then burst into laughter. "Husband? You're my husband?"My gaze moved past him to Brooke at the doorway, holding her kids with an innocent expression. "Then why do you have children with another woman?"The color drained from his face

David's expression instantly darkened, his voice dripping with ice. "Who let him on board?"Alex had already rushed to me and grabbed my wrist, gripping so hard that it felt like he might crush my bones. "Em! Where have you been? Do you know I've been going crazy while looking for you?"I yanked my hand away forcefully, catching the lingering gardenia scent of another woman on him. My stomach churned with nausea."Mr. Carter, we're divorced. My whereabouts are none of your business."His face turned deathly pale. "Em, what do you mean? I only signed that agreement because I was angry! We never went to the courthouse and divided our assets. How can that count as a divorce?"Come home with me!"David stepped forward, his tall frame completely shielding me. He looked down at Alex like he was examining an ant. "Sorry, but not everyone's allowed on my property."All color drained from Alex's face, his eyes bloodshot with fury and jealousy. He pointed at David, his voice trembling."

Alex grew thinner by the day. The man in the mirror had sunken eyes and unkempt stubble, looking like a walking corpse. In the dead of night, he sat alone in the marital home that had been stripped of all traces of me, mumbling to the empty air."Em, where are you? Please come back..."He often caught my unique, cool fragrance in his dreams, only to wake to endless darkness and Brooke's cheap gardenia-scented perfume.Caleb placed reports of all unidentified female bodies found in the city on his desk every day. Alex trembled as he opened each file, feeling both relief and deep despair when he found no images of me. He felt like he was losing his mind.Meanwhile, at David's estate, I was recovering at an astonishing rate. The gardener said the color in my cheeks was better than the most vibrant roses in the garden.That day, I was tending to rare aromatic plants in the glass greenhouse when I heard hushed arguing from behind the bushes."Old man, keep it down! Don't scare the poo
In Time, the Truth Chapter 5
This past month had been hell for Alex. After medical examinations, the twins weren't found to have any serious illness at all—just common infant allergies. Brooke had made a huge fuss over nothing, causing him to lose all dignity in front of me.Besides, I had vanished completely since that day. He thought I was throwing a tantrum and would come back on my own after a few days, like I always did.But one week passed, then two weeks, then a month. Still, there was no word from me. Alex finally started to panic. He pulled out his phone and dialed the number burned into his memory."Sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service." The cold mechanical voice poured over him like ice water.He opened his messaging app. My profile picture had disappeared, showing only a blank silhouette.He sent me a message, and only one gray checkmark appeared. The message was never delivered because I had blocked him.During ten years of marriage, we'd fought countless times. Even when
In Time, the Truth Chapter 4
Brooke's caption read, "New life, new chapter. Finally cleared out everything that didn't belong here."That photo stuck in my mind like a poisonous thorn.That night, the dull ache in my stomach and the chemotherapy side effects kept me awake. A hand reached over in the darkness, gently pried open my mouth, and placed a candy inside. A fresh lemon flavor spread across my tongue."Is it sweet?" David's voice was low and gentle, with a barely perceptible carefulness. I fell into a deep sleep soon after.A month later, David burst through the hospital room door, clutching a stack of test results. "Emma! All your indicators are completely normal!"I looked at the dark circles under his eyes and the bloodshot whites, my nose stinging unexpectedly. "How long has it been since you slept?""And..." I sniffled. "You smell like a combination of tobacco, caffeine, and three days without a shower. You reek."The air froze instantly. David, who was always decisive in business, slowly turn
