I did three years in prison for my wife, Lilian Parson. The day I got out, she handed me an envelope for her company's grand opening. Inside was a single dollar bill. For a second, I thought it was a mistake. Then I saw her colleague, Nathan Ramsey, holding his envelope—his also contained a single dollar. Relieved, I pushed my doubts aside. I smiled, stood by Lilian's side through the entire ceremony, the picture of a proud, supportive husband. That night, scrolling through Instagram, I saw Nathan's latest post. A photo of a check. [Congratulations to Lilian Parson on the grand opening! So generous—100 million as a gift!] The comments section exploded with envy and blessings, congratulating him and "the boss" on finally becoming a couple. Lilian offered no explanation. Instead, she hurried to draw a line between us. "You just got out of prison," she said coolly. "It's not a good look to go public right now. Let's keep our marriage a secret. In front of others, just call me your boss." Then she turned around and liked Nathan's post. I wiped the tears from my eyes, picked up my phone, and dialed the number of her greatest rival. "From now on, I work for you," I said.

My Sentence for Her Crime Chapter 10
Go back to how we used to be?She made it sound so simple, as if the past years were a minor detour. But I was no longer the man who would burn his future for a flicker of love. And she was no longer the woman I thought I knew.I had seen the way she looked at Nathan—the softness in her eyes, the unthinking favoritism. Every glance, every private smile, had been a chisel, slowly carving away my place in her life until nothing was left.A dry, mirthless smile touched my lips. "It's too late for that. I am happy without you."I turned to leave, but she threw her arms around me from behind, holding on with a desperate, crushing strength."I was wrong!" she sobbed, her voice breaking. "Sonny, I was a fool—I lost my mind!"I tried to pry her arms loose. "Let me go!"In the next moment, Sierra was there, firmly pulling Lilian away from me."He told you to let go," Sierra said, her voice cold and clear. "Do you need a translation?"The moment Lilian saw her, her face twisted with rag

The first post came directly from Nathan's account. Within hours, it had dragged both me and Sierra's company into the eye of a public hurricane.Emboldened by the chaos, Nathan showed up at my apartment, smugness rolling off him in waves."Sonny," he jeered, "do you honestly think any reputable partner will sign with a convicted felon?"I let out a low, humorless laugh."You know I went to prison, Nathan. But you have no idea why, do you?"Confusion flickered across his face. He was in the dark.A cold satisfaction settled in my chest. "I never wanted to play this card, but you left me no choice."I pulled a folder from my desk and tossed it on the table between us—the signed confession where I took the fall for Lilian.As Nathan's eyes scanned the document, the color drained from his face. He understood instantly: if this went public, Lilian's empire would crumble, and he would be buried in the rubble. There was no scenario where he won."This... this is a lie..." he stammer

Lilian waited for a response, but I offered none.The silence stretched, and when it finally settled, I realized she was gone.My head pounded from the hangover, but I forced myself to call my new colleagues to apologize for my late start.Sierra was the one who picked up. "Let me guess. Lilian." Her tone was blunt, unsurprised. "Next time she corners you, let me handle it."I let out a weary chuckle. "Don't bother. She's stubborn as hell and won't quit until she's run into a brick wall. I'll deal with her myself. No need for you to get involved."I meant it as a casual remark, but Sierra's voice turned firm. "I'm not afraid of her."Rubbing my temples, I mumbled a non-committal response and ended the call.On my first official day, Sierra insisted on a welcome lunch and pressed a thick envelope into my hand.When I tried to refuse, she cut me off. "You moved in a hurry. This is for setup costs. Take it."The gesture was kind, but it stung—a stark contrast to the single, insul

When I looked up, I froze. Lilian was standing there.Before I could say a word, she handed her card to the cashier. "Put it on this," she instructed, her tone leaving no room for argument.Once the payment was processed, she turned to me, her eyes scanning my face with a familiar, disapproving frown."You know you can't hold your liquor. What were you thinking, going out drinking like this? Who's going to look after you if you make yourself sick?"As she spoke, she reached out a hand as if to touch my arm.I instinctively recoiled, putting several feet between us in one swift motion. My guard was up. "I don't need looking after."She let out a sigh that was meant to sound concerned. "You're clearly drunk. I can't just leave you here. I'm taking you home."The hypocrisy was almost breathtaking. Just days ago, she was ordering me to drink on Nathan's behalf. Now she was playing the part of the worried partner? I had no idea which version of her was real anymore.When she stepped

On the other end of the line, Lilian fell silent. Then, a note of panic sharpened her voice. "Sierra? What have you done to him? If you have a problem, you deal with me!"Sierra caught my eye and raised an eyebrow, a silent "can-you-believe-this?" smirk on her face. The performance was almost impre

I sent every one of Lilian's calls to voicemail. Soon, her messages flooded my screen:[Sonny, what is this? I never agreed to a divorce!][If you're going to accuse me of something with Nathan, then fine, maybe I'll just do it!]My reply was a single word: [Okay.]Then I powered down my phone a
