The year my boyfriend is dead broke, I leave him. Later, he becomes a mafia boss and uses every means at his disposal to marry me. Everyone says that I am the first love he can never forget, the wife he cares about the most. However, he then starts bringing home a different woman every night, making me a laughingstock. Still, I don't cry or make a fuss. I quietly stay in my own room, never interrupting his affairs. Elton Carter is furious. He pins me beneath him, kisses me harshly, and growls, "Aren't you jealous?" He has no idea that I'm gravely ill. He could buy half the city with violence, threats, and money. He could buy my freedom, my marriage… and each night bring a different woman home, oblivious to the truth. Little does he know, I have just seven days left to live.

Elton never imagined that the day he took Yvette away would be the last time he saw me.That day, I didn't ask why Yvette was pregnant. Instead, I remained calm, just like always, as if I didn't care at all whether he had fallen for another woman.And so, I didn't wait for him to return or give him the chance to explain.Daisy refused to let him see my body. He wasn't even allowed to keep a handful of my ashes. It seemed that I was truly heartless in his eyes.He began to regret not telling me right then and there that the child wasn't his.

I couldn't hide my injury from Daisy, who saw right through me.She was furious, angry that I didn't take better care of myself. All I could do was promise her that I'd never try to push myself like that again.Daisy sighed and gently coaxed me, "When you get better, I'll take you to see Mrs. Johnson, okay?"I knew that she was lying. I wasn't going to get better. But I didn't want her to worry, so I smiled and nodded.I started taking my medicine obediently and cooperating with the doctors. Money was spent freely each day, but it didn't concern me. After all, it was Elton's money, and he owed me.Perhaps it was simply a final burst of clarity before I met the end. Over the next few days, even as my body hurt more and more, my mind felt sharper than ever.Word must have gotten out that I was doing better, which prompted Yvette to visit the hospital while Elton was away.The moment Daisy saw her, she snapped, "Who let a slut in here? Get the hell out before I throw you out myself

Back then, I had asked him, "Elton, are you playing me?"Elton pushed the woman off his lap and staggered toward me, reeking of alcohol. "That's right. I am playing you. So what? "But seeing how miserable your life's been since you left me, I suddenly feel a little soft-hearted. Why don't you really marry me? "But I don't love you anymore. So you'll have to be obedient and well-behaved. I have many women. If you keep getting jealous and crying over that, I'll get really annoyed."Hearing Elton say that he didn't love me anymore made me burst into tears. I inhaled deeply and prepared to reveal the truth to him at last. "I came here today to tell you that I don't want to marry you. The reason I broke up with you back then was because of my mom—"Before I could finish speaking, Elton interrupted me harshly, "Don't mention your mother to me! I treated her with respect, as if she were my own. But she really was your mother. "She was just as greedy as you! You're both the same, to

For two days after I woke up, Daisy stayed by my side without leaving for a single moment. She was even more attentive than any caretaker could've been.Lying in bed for so long had become unbearable. When she finally stepped out of the ward, I tried to get up and make my way to the bathroom.But my legs gave out the moment I put weight on them. I collapsed to the floor.I struggled to get up and felt guilty as I tried to crawl back into bed. I didn't want Daisy to worry when she returned.Suddenly, Elton burst into the ward and swept me into his arms, holding me tightly. He muttered angrily, "Where the hell did Daisy go? I was only gone a few minutes to pay for your meds. She was supposed to be watching you!"I didn't have the strength to push him away, but I still managed to frown and snap back at him. "Shut up! Don't talk badly about Daisy in front of me. I don't want to hear it. "She has her own life. She can't be expected to center her life around me every day. I've alrea
