My husband's latest lover is a dab hand at making coffee. I'm curious, so I go to her coffee shop to try a cup. When I get home, my husband grips my neck tightly as he warns, "Stay away from her." I'm reminded of how he did the same thing to my betrothed at the time before snatching me away. "Do you like her that much?" I laugh and watch as Ray Prunier loses control. I guess I'll give him what he wants, then.

Chapter 1

My husband, Ray Prunier, repeatedly had affairs, but I never cared about them. I pretended as though they weren't happening, and together, we continued to act like a loving couple in front of others.

Back then, I had to beg my father to allow us to get married. Thus, I refused to allow my marriage to fail. No matter how heartbroken I was, I could only hide under the covers and cry by myself.

Thankfully, Ray's affairs were all casual, so they never threatened our marriage. However, this girl was different. I knew this because I had glimpsed a part of a divorce agreement when I brought Ray some coffee.

Ray was awakened by my movements, took the mug from my hand, and had a small sip. He complained, "It's too bitter. Please don't bring me coffee anymore."

I didn't remember leaving the study, but I recalled how my trembling hands had betrayed my emotions. Afterward, I immediately called someone to look into Ray's most recent girl.

I found out that he often visited one specific coffee shop. Ever since he became successful, his tastes had grown increasingly particular. So now, he only drank coffee made from hand-grounded beans.

It was as if he was trying to shake off his former image of a poor young man. It was to the extent that Ray didn't even glance at cheap little shops anymore. Because of this, I doubted if I was in the right place as I stared at the shop before me.

I carefully compared it with the photo my assistant had sent. It was a budget-friendly and quaint place tucked away in the college district.

The girl in question cheerfully greeted me when I walked in. Her smile was as bright as the sun. My heart jolted upon seeing her—it was no wonder Ray had an affair with her.

"I'm not sure what to order. Could you recommend something to me?" I asked her.

I watched as the girl skillfully made something and added ice to it. Then, she handed me the drink and said, "I hope you enjoy it."

I found a seat by the window before cautiously sipping the coffee. It was too sweet—the saccharine flavor overwhelmed my taste buds.

Chapter 2
I abandoned the drink after taking only a sip from it. After leaving behind a tip, I left the shop.Ray came home drunk that night. He reeked so strongly of alcohol that I had to pinch my nose. With a glass of water in my hand, I walked around his side of the bed to mine."Take a shower. I can't sleep when you stink so badly," I admonished him. I didn't know when it started, but my relationship with Ray was now estranged.We had been married for seven years. Now, the passion we once felt for each other had faded, leaving only disgust behind.Ray turned over and deliberately rubbed his stank onto me. Angered, I slapped him. Then, I said, "I went to a coffee shop today. It was near our old college. I never noticed it before—"He cut off the rest of my words by grabbing my throat."You went to see her?" he questioned.I instantly knew who Ray was referring to. In the past, I had always ignored his transgressions and been unconcerned about them. But this time, I didn't."That's r

Chapter 3
The girl's name was Nadia Rivera. She was a student who lived in the college district.Nadia was still studying, but her family wasn't well-off. Because of this, she worked part-time at the coffee shop near her college every day.Three months ago, Ray started frequenting the coffee shop for his coffee. Sometimes, he would even sit there the whole day and not go to the office."Do you like her that much? So much so that you're willing to choke me to death over her?" I murmured to myself.I recalled how Ray had once done the same for me but to someone else. He had threatened, "She's my wife now, so stay away from her." Ray and I had met in college. At the time, he was still a broke college student who had to work three jobs a day just to get by. He used to be a campus errand boy and had spilled the coffee I ordered all over me.I didn't make a fuss back then. It was just a piece of clothing, after all. I could have someone buy a new one for me within 10 minutes.Ray had flushed r

I was about to take my phone out to call Ray when a voice spoke up behind me."Good morning!"It was Nadia. She was wearing an overall skirt, and her hair was tied in a high ponytail. For a moment, it was like I was looking at the college version of myself.I watched as she greeted everyone while smiling brightly."Good morning, Mrs. Prunier," the receptionist greeted Nadia with a slight bow of her head. She emphasized the greeting while looking at me scornfully."I've brought coffee—it's my treat. I even made it myself," Nadia announced."Thank you, Mrs. Prunier. Our CEO is truly lucky to have you. You're not only beautiful but talented, too—unlike some women these days who are only delusional."The receptionist complimented her while snidely taking a jab at me.Nadia lowered her head shyly at this. Then, she skipped onto the elevator.Meanwhile, I was left standing there awkwardly. I called Ray several times, but the calls were all immediately rejected.Hence, I texted him,

"It seems you didn't take yesterday's warning seriously," Ray stated darkly. Now that Nadia had left, his expression had reverted to the cold and unapproachable one I was used to seeing.He turned, grabbed a document, and tossed it at me.As I skimmed through it, I realized it was a project my father's company was working on."I meant what I said, Claire. Your father could be left with nothing but the clothes on his back if I wanted it so. How long do you think you can continue living like a pampered princess when that happens?" Ray added threateningly.I licked my dry lips. It turned out he had always resented me all these years.Years ago, Ray and I confronted my father to tell him about our relationship. The old man was furious.Dad had refused to allow me to marry Ray because Ray had nothing back then. However, Ray had even gone on his knees at the time. He had also stubbornly refused to let go of my hand and endured it all as Dad humiliated him.But today, Ray threw a divor

Ray and Nadia's extravagant wedding was even featured on the news. He was smiling adoringly while holding a white-gown Nadia, which made me think back to our wedding day.Ray and I hadn't had any guests—it had just been us, holding hands. It had seemed so sad and lonely. Yet, I had felt like I was the happiest person in the world.I had already packed up all my things and booked a flight out of the country. As for the villa he had left to me in the divorce, I had already listed it for sale on a real estate platform, too.I called Ray one last time before boarding my plane. "I've put the house up for sale. If there's anything you want, remember to pick it up—""No need, just throw it all away," he cut me off. Ray's reply was curt, and he ended the call before I could say anything else.Did he hate me so much that he didn't even want to hear my voice? I was about to block Ray's number when a text from him came through."Hey, do you have a death wish?" it read. Then, his next text s

Martha King, my family's caretaker, answered Dad's phone when I called."There, there, dearie. Your father's in the hospital, but he's fine. His blood sugar is just a bit high for his age," Martha explained.After rushing to the hospital, I spotted Ray first when I arrived. He was still dressed in his wedding tux as he sat by Nadia's bed. His eyes were unusually swollen and bloodshot.Seeing him like this reminded me of when he had first started his business. Ray had kept running into obstacles and hadn't been able to secure any investors. As a result, he would drink every day out of frustration.When he reached his lowest point, Ray sat by my bedside and cried."You must think I'm useless, hun. I can't even give you a good life… If you had married Edward Alder back then instead of running away with me, you'd probably be better off now," he had said.I couldn't bear seeing him in such a state, so I went home and begged my father to invest in Ray's business.It was winter then, a

Wiping the tears from my face, I forced a smile before I walked up to my father's bedside."What happened, Dad? How did you suddenly collapse?" I asked.Dad didn't answer me, but his eyes were reddening with unshed tears as he looked at me. He eventually said, "You must have suffered so much, Claire Bear." My lips began trembling at this, but I forced myself to stay strong."Oh, please. I'm the one who dumped Ray—that bastard. Who do you think your daughter is? I'm the one kicking people to the curb…" I gradually lowered my head as I spoke. Biting my lip, I added, "Hey, Dad? Let's move."Dad didn't answer. He just silently patted my back.…I tidied up Dad's company's affairs as swiftly as possible. Once I was done, Ray immediately sent his staff to carry out the acquisition. I also liquidated all of Dad's and my assets, took the money, and flew to the other side of the world with him.Edward came to see us off on the day of our flight. It was the first time we had seen each

Before I left, I had simultaneously posted an article across various social media platforms. Its general content was that I was Ray's ex-wife and that he and I had already separated emotionally. I also explained that he hadn't cheated on me with Nadia and that they had met under everyday circumstances.My article caused quite a stir, but it stopped the verbal attacks on Nadia.I stared at the clouds outside the plane window, feeling as though I could just reach out and touch them. With the article I had posted, Ray and I owed each other nothing more.Ray's heart rate unknowingly picked up when he saw my post, and he immediately texted me."Don't think I'll forgive you just because you've done this. You can't undo the harm you've caused Nadia, so you better apologize to her once she regains consciousness," it read.I had blocked him and deleted his contact information before I boarded the plane. Thus, the only response he received was a system-automated notice stating that his mess

Dad and I arrived in Aztalia just in time for the country's rainy season. The pain in my knees flared in waves because of the cold. It was a chronic issue I had developed after that time I knelt in the snow.Dad brought over a hot compress for me."I should've beaten the bastard to death when I had the chance all those years ago," he lamented.I smiled and hugged him, whining childishly, "Yeah, Dad. Why didn't you?" The old man wiped away genuine tears as he patted my back. He teased, "You're just as stubborn as your mother."Mom had passed away when I was very young, so I had no memory of her. After I married Ray, his mother, Agnes Hart, showed me the warmth of a mother's love. Agnes was a much older woman with a hunched back.At the time, Ray and I couldn't afford a wedding ceremony because we were poor. However, Agnes had endured a 14-hour train ride just so she could give us 10,000 dollars as a wedding gift in person.As someone who grew up in a wealthy household, I felt th
