"We're alumni."Aren sighed helplessly, frowning at Aspen. He had been ready to issue a sea of warnings, but every word died in his throat when he faced her pale complexion."Pen, does it hurt?"His fingers brushed her pallid cheek, his heart aching with frustration."As long as you're with the Fullers, you're going to be in too much danger. Get divorced now. I'll help you take back whatever you want later. Right now, I just need you safe. Okay?""No."Aspen rejected him without hesitation, immediately pulling out her phone to contact the bank. She canceled the check and reported the safe deposit key as lost.There was no way she would let those bastards keep what she had worked so hard to obtain! It had all been a stalling tactic anyway. Now that she was safe, Aspen refused to lose a single cent.As Aren watched her swift actions, he realized he had started to worry prematurely. One thing was clear—Colin held no place in Aspen's heart anymore. Now, all she craved was retributi

Though he was physically present with Gwyneth, Colin's thoughts were scattered. Last night, he had intended to meet Aspen for a serious discussion, but Gwyneth's sudden "episode" forced him to stay by her side. That was how he had wasted the entire night.He wondered how long Aspen had waited. In the past, he had routinely stood people up without a second thought. Yet this time, an unfamiliar guilt gnawed at him."Colin, can you skip work today? I'm terrified of being home alone..." Gwyneth tugged his sleeve with practiced vulnerability.She instantly sensed he was distracted. He was thinking about Aspen, without a doubt! The realization twisted something dark inside her. After she had spent years meticulously securing his devotion, could some uprooted wife really steal him away in mere days? Gwyneth would never allow such a thing to happen.Colin pried her fingers loose and straightened his suit. He said to her helplessly, "The project for our company's transition is at a critic

When Zephyr walked out of Colin's office, he was drenched in sweat. He returned to the tech department looking pitiful, taking a sip of water before muttering, "What the hell got into Mr. Fuller today? Just last week, he was raving about this proposal—now suddenly it's 'complete garbage'? He chewed me out for over an hour. Did I commit some kind of capital offense?""Thank goodness Ms. Nicholls isn't here today, or she'd be the one getting an earful," said Candice, tossing him a pack of trail mix with a grin.Hearing that, Zephyr's face twisted in disbelief. He glared at her and hissed, "Candice, you're so heartless! Do you even hear yourself? How is Ms. Nicholls' life more valuable than mine?""Speaking of which, what's up with Ms. Nicholls lately? Why is she on leave again?" Candice glanced worriedly at Aspen's empty desk and lowered her voice. "Do you think Mr. Fuller abused her, and she couldn't get out of bed?"Zephyr nearly choked on his trail mix and covered her mouth with

Just hearing Zac's name made Aspen's blood boil. Grinding her molars, she hissed furiously, "That goddamn bastard—just thinking about him makes me furious! He's the reason I'm stuck here in agony. Chet, you better make him pay, you hear me?""Just tell me what you want done," Chester said, oddly charmed by her seething rage.Aspen was tempted to demand the bastard's head on a platter, but after a moment's thought, she growled, "Beat him to a pulp. I want him barely recognizable. Then, dump him at the gates of Oceanus Villa.""Just a beating?" Chester raised an eyebrow, amused. "Didn't take you for the merciful type."Aspen heard the sarcasm dripping from his words. She scoffed and muttered, "You seem like a tough guy, so why are you talking like a nagging old lady? You asked what I wanted—now you're getting all sarcastic?""It's quite a big favor. How do you plan to repay me?" Chester decided to drop his attitude. Instead, he stared at her calculatingly, already planning to ask f

Chester instinctively stepped back under Aren's piercing glare, momentarily stunned. Aren had always been the picture of refined elegance in their previous encounters, and this was the first time Chester had seen the feral intensity lurking beneath that polished exterior.Nonetheless, he gained his composure quickly. He patted Aren's shoulder patronizingly and said, "Relax. I've no interest in another man's wife."Truthfully, if Aspen hadn't been the wife of Fuller Group's CEO, he wouldn't have given her a second glance.Aren watched Chester leave with a conflicted gaze before entering the hospital room."Aren, you're here! Where's the food?" Aspen called out from her bed. She was confined to her hospital bed now. Every movement sent waves of pain through her body. These days were pure agony, and Aren's home-cooked meals had become her only solace.Seeing her eager expression, Aren's face softened into a gentle smile as he set the food container on the bedside table. "You're a

Colin scoffed, brandishing his status like a weapon. Regardless of the circumstances, he undoubtedly had a greater right to rage than the man before him.Watching his theatrics, Aren suddenly realized any further words would be wasted. He smirked and said, "It's great that you finally know who you are. Just don't cling to what you don't appreciate.""Hey! Aren, you're a homewrecker. Do you think your family will tolerate your actions if they find out that you're involved with another man's wife?" Colin's face darkened, the threat dripping from every word."The CEO of Fuller Group, reduced to tattling to Mommy and Daddy? How pathetic," Aren retorted. Then, he glanced at Aspen and left. Aspen sat silently, forcing steady breaths through the pain. When she finally looked up, she met Colin's furious gaze.He hissed, "How many times must I say it? You're my wife—Mrs. Fuller. Stop embarrassing me with your shameless behavior! What exactly is going on between you and Aren?" His molars

Aspen kept her eyes downcast, the picture of wounded vulnerability. It was enough to soften Colin's expression.Gwyneth hadn't anticipated Aspen mastering the art of playing the victim. Watching Colin's demeanor shift, alarm bells rang in her head. "Colin, Zac would never do such a thing! Ms. Nicholls is slandering him!" "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. You're absolutely right." Aspen nodded eagerly, like a chastised child agreeing to whatever would end the conversation.Gwyneth's temper flared. She stepped forward, teeth clenched. "Aspen, I know you've always resented me because of Colin. But if you hate me, take it out on me. Why target Zac? What has he ever done to you? This isn't fair!""How exactly have I 'targeted' him? Did I hit him? Insult him?" Aspen blinked, all wide-eyed innocence. She gestured to her bandaged ribs, then leveled her gaze at Colin. "And you're just going to stand there while someone screams at your wife? What kind of husband does that?"If he wanted to

"Aspen, I don't have the energy for this anymore. Just tell me what you want." Colin rubbed his temples, exhaustion etched into every word. Between the company's critical restructuring and this domestic chaos, he was under siege from all sides.Seeing how weary he was, Aspen let out a humorless laugh. She lowered her head and said, "Colin, I want a divorce. A fair one. I want everything I'm entitled to." Colin was shocked. Of all the things she could have asked for—even having another child—he hadn't anticipated that all she wanted was to carve out his assets and walk away.In an instant, his composure shattered. He lunged forward, his hand closing around her throat. "You're desperate to leave and bleed me dry just to fund that Jefferson brat? You whore! How long has this been going on?"Aspen didn't even flinch. Up close, his rage was almost pitiable. She said disdainfully, "The only cheater here is you, and you dare play the victim?" "Aspen, don't push me past my limits." Col

"Move aside!" Colin roared, his face twisted in fury.Maria was unfamiliar with Colin or his status, and she stood her ground. "Sir, I must protect my patient. Leave now, or I'll call security.""Maria, it's fine. He's my husband," Aspen said, her voice dripping with sarcasm at the word "husband". Maria stared in disbelief. She had been caring for Aspen for weeks, and Aren was the only visitor she had ever seen. She couldn't believe this snarling stranger was Aspen's husband.She eyed Colin suspiciously and asked, "Ms. Nicholls, are you sure you don't want me to call the police?""No need. Thank you." Aspen smiled and gave Maria's hand a reassuring squeeze.Maria glared at Colin and scoffed, warning him, "I'll be right outside that door. Lay one finger on her, and I'm dialing 911 myself. He's got a fancy suit but can't keep his hands to himself… How disgraceful."Then, she shoved past him and headed outside.Watching Colin's thunderous expression, Aspen almost laughed. She dou

"Aspen said Zac did it. What does that have to do with you? Your brother's always been reckless and undisciplined—him doing something outrageous isn't exactly a stretch," Colin said calmly, trying to stay rational.But Gwyneth, sitting beside him, already understood something crystal clear—her place in Colin's heart wasn't what it used to be.Before this, Colin had never approached her issues with reason. He had always been impulsive, acting purely on emotion. And now? He could actually stay level-headed when it came to her. That only meant one thing—he didn't care anymore."Colin… do you not love me anymore?" Gwyneth's voice trembled with hurt, and tears began to stream down her face.She cried, "I know I've been a mess lately, and I'm sorry. But I can't help it. I love you too much—I can't live without you. I can't lose you!"As she spoke, she curled up in the passenger seat, trembling all over.Seeing her like that, Colin's heart softened, and his tone eased. "I'm not blaming

Right after stepping out, Colin grabbed Gwyneth by the arm and dragged her straight to his car. He frowned at her and said coldly, "Call Zac."Gwyneth stared at him in disbelief. "Colin, do you really believe what Ms. Nicholls said? You actually think Zac did it?""Call him!" Colin didn't bother responding to her questions. This time, it wasn't a suggestion—it was an order.Gwyneth didn't dare argue. Her eyes welled up with frustration as she pulled out her phone and started dialing Zac's number....At that moment, Zac was hanging from the ceiling, being whipped mercilessly. He howled in pain, sounding like a pig being slaughtered, thrashing around helplessly. When his phone suddenly started ringing, it felt like the light at the end of the tunnel."Sir, please—I've got money! Just let me answer the call, I'm begging you!" Zac pleaded over and over. He couldn't take it anymore.Kian shook out his sore hand with a grimace of disgust. "You're a grown man, yet all you do is bully
