Synopsis

Tragic Love

Mistress

Male POV

Revenge

Cheating

Everyone in Harbor City knew I had a wife whom everyone envied. Not only was she a wealthy heiress, but a celebrated lawyer, untouchable and elegant. However, in private, she was a delicate, devoted wife. I had planned to tell her the truth on our wedding anniversary—that I was the heir to one of Jinmist City's most powerful families—and take her home. However, on her birthday, I walked in on her being pinned to a car and forcefully kissed by her new assistant, with pieces of her torn clothing scattered everywhere. I lost control. The assistant ended up in the ICU, and I ended up in court. To my shock, my wife turned on me in court, falsely accusing me of malicious assault, while saying nothing about the assistant’s attempt. I was sentenced to three years in prison. In the visitation room, I demanded answers, but she remained calm. “You’re my husband. Even if you go to prison, I still love you.” “But Daniel is different. He comes from a poor family. If he’s charged with attempted assault, his life would be ruined forever.” At that moment, my hope shattered. Fine. If she didn’t want the title of wife to the Millers' heir, I’d just have to take it back.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

On the day I was released from prison, my wife, Olivia Johnson, stood outside the iron gates in a wedding dress.

The moment I saw her, a surge of hatred burned in my chest.

Back then, if she hadn’t given false testimony, how could I have ended up behind bars? She had never once come to see me these past three years. Why was she putting on this act?

“What are you doing here?”

Faced with my cold stare, Olivia smiled and lifted the hem of her dress as she slowly walked toward me.

“Of course I’m here to pick you up, my dear husband.”

She stopped in front of me and reached out, smoothing the wrinkles on my collar as if nothing had ever happened.

“Today is a special day. I’m taking you home so we can celebrate together.”

I was just about to refuse when she raised her hand slightly. Immediately, two bodyguards in black stepped out of the car and closed in around me.

“Honey, this way.”

Olivia extended her hand with a sweet smile. I knew I had no room to refuse. Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the car.

On the way, Olivia kept her head down on her phone, completely ignoring me. I didn’t mind the silence, though, using the time to think about how I was going to divorce her.

However, the moment we arrived at the villa, I noticed the lawn was filled with flowers and a floral arch.

Right in front of the house was a large welcome photo of Olivia and her assistant, Daniel Parker.

So this “special day” she mentioned was her wedding to Daniel?!

The anger inside me exploded. I couldn’t hold it back any longer, letting the hatred surge freely.

“Olivia, what is the meaning of this?”

Olivia let out a mocking laugh, the warmth on her face instantly replaced by cold disdain.

“Max, you don’t seriously think a criminal like you is worthy of being a husband to a Harbor City heiress like me, do you?”

The bodyguards dragged me out of the car. Instantly, all eyes turned toward me.

“Hey, isn’t that the ex-con? They actually let him out?”

“Ugh, seeing someone like that on a day like this. What a mood killer.”

Dressed in a sharp suit, Daniel strode up to me, his face full of barely concealed smugness.

“Well, well, Max. How generous of you. First day out of prison, and you couldn’t wait to attend my wedding with Olivia. Must’ve been a long trip for you.”

Looking at his disgusting smirk, I didn’t hesitate. I raised my fist and punched him hard, sending him crashing to the ground.

“Daniel!”

Olivia screamed, shoving me hard before rushing to help him up, her face filled with concern.

“Max, listen carefully. Daniel is my husband now. If you lay a hand on him again, don’t blame me for what I do next!”

“Husband?”

I let out a cold laugh and shook my head.

“Olivia, do I need to remind you? I may have been in prison for three years, but we’re still legally married!”

However, instead of embarrassment, Olivia only sneered.

She gestured, and her assistant immediately handed her two marriage certificates.

Then she threw them straight in my face.

“Max, open your eyes and take a good look. These are fake.”

Then she took the marriage certificate Daniel handed her like it was something precious and held it up in front of me.“Take a good look at what a real one looks like. Wouldn’t want you getting fooled by some other woman in the future.”“Think about it. How could I, the chief lawyer of Red Circle and the eldest daughter of the Johnsons, ever marry a loser like you?”“Back then, I only married you because you had a handsome face. I just wanted to have some fun with you. But as I got older, I realized a puppy can never compare to a big bad wolf.”She leaned into Daniel’s chest. The way they clung to each other stabbed into my eyes like needles.Daniel wrapped an arm around her pale shoulders.“Come to think of it, if it weren’t for you, Olivia and I wouldn’t have made it this far.“If you hadn’t hurt me three years ago, she wouldn’t have realized how she truly felt about me.“But I’ve always been a generous man. Since I took your wife, I’ll give you one in return.”He handed me

The dark red liquor choked up through my nose, but Daniel clamped a hand over my mouth and nose.“Olivia personally chose this. If you waste it, you’re disrespecting her effort.”With my airway suddenly blocked, the alcohol flooded down the wrong way, burning into my lungs. My face flushed instantly, the whites of my eyes spreading as my vision blurred. Just when I thought this was how it would end, Daniel finally let go.He tossed the bottle aside. It shattered across the ground.Then he kicked me hard in the back. I stumbled forward and dropped to my knees on the broken glass.Olivia sat across from me, sipping red wine from a stemmed glass as she spoke coldly.“This is your punishment for what happened three years ago. If Daniel isn’t happy, you take it.”Then she suddenly noticed the blood on Daniel’s finger and rushed over to kiss it.“Oh, no, Daniel. You’re hurt.”She turned and slapped me across the face.The sting burned, but it couldn’t compare to the pain in my ches

I split my lips into a grin, trying to use extreme pain to drown out the numbness in my heart.“Go ahead and kill me if you can. Otherwise, I’ll make every single one of you suffer a thousand times more than I ever did.”The smile on Daniel’s face twisted into something more vicious.“What? Did I hear that right?“Olivia, your ex isn’t just useless. He’s delusional, too.”Olivia suddenly raised her hand, signaling them to stop.For a split second, my pathetic heart stirred again.Did she still have even a shred of feeling for me?…The next second, however, I understood her intention and wished I could go back and slap myself for that thought.“Oh, how could I forget? A wedding needs a cake.”Daniel and Olivia exchanged a look, satisfied smiles spreading across their faces.The bodyguards lifted me again. My injuries were so severe that I didn’t even have the strength to resist anymore.A massive cake was suddenly wheeled in front of me.I realized what they were about to

The crowd that had been arrogant just moments ago froze instantly.Behind every single one of them, cold, black gun barrels pressed against the backs of their heads.The butler, William, strode forward, helped me to my feet, and bowed respectfully.“Mr. Max, according to family rules, those who offend you are to be punished by whipping.“Considering they caused you harm, their compensation should be doubled.”I nodded.The guests panicked, trying to scatter in all directions.I shot William a look. He understood immediately and raised his voice.“No one leaves. Let this serve as a reminder of what happens when you offend the Millers of Jinmist City.”The suited guards pulled out their whips crafted from oxtail bone fused with iron beads.With a unified swing, the entire wedding venue filled with the agonized screams of Daniel and Olivia.Even on the brink of collapse, Daniel was still cursing me.“Max, hiring all these people to put on a show must’ve cost you a fortune.

Love and indifference were obvious. So why did their love have to come at my expense?Suddenly, the roar of engines sounded from outside, and a woman wearing a pearl necklace walked in.She pulled Olivia aside and slapped Daniel across the face.“You lowly piece of trash! You think you can climb up to my daughter?”Olivia immediately grabbed her mother’s leg.“Mom, please don’t hit him anymore. I really love him. I can’t live without him.”Though I no longer loved Olivia, seeing her go this far for Daniel still left a bitter ache in my chest.It was not because I was pathetic or that I still had hope. I was just unwilling to accept it.I had treated her so well. My whole world had revolved around her. Yet, she betrayed me.Nancy rolled her eyes at Olivia, then finally lost her patience and slapped her, too.“I really don’t know how I ended up with a daughter like you. Completely brainless.”She pulled Olivia into her arms, gently touching the wounds on her back. She glanced

The man standing before me was none other than my father, Elijah Miller, the head of the Millers in Jinmist City.A man who could make the entire business world tremble with just a frown.He looked at Henry, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, and asked coldly.“I heard you Johnsons rule Harbor City with an iron hand, and that you can beat or kill my son whenever you please.”Henry lowered his head even further, his voice shaking as he spoke.“I failed to discipline my daughter. Please punish me, Mr. Miller. I only have this one child. If you are still angry, I am willing to offer this worthless life in exchange. Just please spare my daughter.”Olivia’s eyes reddened instantly. She clearly didn’t understand just how terrifying the Millers truly were.She crawled over and grabbed Henry.“Dad, this is Harbor City. Why are you begging him?”“Here, it’s the Johnsons and the Moores who call the shots. If you join forces with Grandpa, even ten Miller families wouldn’t be able

The Johnsons’ butler didn’t care whether they agreed or not. He grabbed their hands, forced them to sign, and then pressed their fingerprints down by force.Olivia finally started to panic.Her whole body trembled like a leaf. Like a drowning person spotting driftwood, she crawled toward me.…“Max, I’m begging you to please let me go. We were husband and wife, after all.”Her fake sincerity was cheap and disgusting.“Husband and wife?”I glanced at the fake certificate on the ground, soaked in alcohol and trampled beyond recognition, and let out a cold laugh.“Is this what Ms. Johnson is referring to? Didn’t you say it yourself that it’s nothing but a worthless piece of paper?“You were nothing more than my youthful ignorance, a slip-up, nothing more.”I stepped behind my father and said respectfully, “Father, how they’re dealt with next is entirely up to you.”He nodded.The guards stepped forward, their batons rising and falling in a relentless rhythm.Daniel no longer

“But by then, you and I had already grown distant. I’ve been proud my whole life. I couldn’t bring myself to lower my head and apologize to you.“Only after you left did I realize just how wrong I was.“You were your mother’s gift to me. Never a burden. Never a sin.”I gave a faint smile.I had never imagined that one day, my father and I would be able to sit together like this, calmly and honestly speaking from the heart.After I recovered, I had planned to return to Jinmist City with him.As for those two, I wanted nothing more to do with them for the rest of my life.But even if I were willing to let them go, Olivia wasn’t willing to let me go.Daniel had risen from nothing.

She pointed to the large vats in front of us.“See them? One by one, I’ll cut the flesh from your body. You’ll get a taste of the suffering Daniel went through.”I struggled with all my strength.“It wasn’t me who killed Daniel. It was his family. Why come after me instead of them?”She slapped me across the face.“It’s you. If you had died in prison, Daniel wouldn’t have suffered like this. Why are you still alive?“Do you like it sweet or salty? I’ll let you choose first. See? I’m so kind.”She waved her hand, and the men pulled back a black curtain. Several vicious dogs bared their teeth and fixed their gaze on me.“How's that? Remember you said you wanted a dog after we married?“Well, consider this me granting your wish.”She laughed, wild and sharp, then slashed my shirt with the knife. Seeing my exposed muscles, her excitement spiked.In that moment of distraction, I acted. Without hesitation, I sprang up, ramming into her with full force and shattering her nose.I s
