Synopsis

Marriage

Winning Back the Husband

Bias

Mistress

Tragic Love

Melodramatic

My wife, Ula Grove, was best friends with a man named Jordan Loof. On the day we all gathered to celebrate Eira, Jordan’s daughter’s birthday, our own little girl, Faye, made the silly mistake of taking a bite of the cake ahead of time. Ula flew into a rage and locked Faye in the basement. “Why do you have to compete with Eira over everything? You even made her cry on her own birthday! It was just a piece of cake, yet you acted as if you had never seen a cake in your life!” Ula then taped Faye’s mouth shut with adhesive tape. “Stay right here and think about what you’ve done. You’re not coming out until three days have passed.” The basement was pitch dark with no light at all, and there were poisonous spiders, too. Faye would not last half a day in there. I cried and begged Ula to let Faye go, but Ula remained unmoved. “What other tricks are you trying to pull? How many times do I have to tell you that Jordan has it hard enough raising a kid on his own? I asked you to be considerate, but you couldn’t! You and that little monster insist on doubling down on bullying a single-parent family!” I clutched her sleeve and begged her to just let Faye out. I even swore that I would take Faye and vanish from her life. Ula pulled away before kicking me to the floor. Then, she said coldly, “Since you can’t stand to be away from her, then go rot in there with her! I’m sending Jordan and Eira abroad in three days, so you two can stay locked up until there’s no way you can bully them anymore.” After Ula sent Jordan and Eira abroad to enjoy themselves, she finally remembered Faye and me. She picked out gifts and was about to come pick us up when she received a call from her assistant, Alex Quill. “Mr. Elwood and Faye are gone!”

Chapter 1

I was thrown into the basement by a tall bodyguard named Eric Edwards.

My daughter, Faye Elwood, had already been locked in there for a while. Her mouth was taped shut, and she could only let out muffled whimpers. I fumbled through the darkness toward the sound and pulled her into my arms.

“Sweetheart, I’m right here. Please stop crying, okay?”

I carefully peeled the tape off her mouth, and the sound of it ripping away from her skin made my heart ache.

This was not the first time that my wife had punished our daughter in the basement because of her male best friend’s child. It had caused Faye to develop nyctophobia. Her entire body was trembling.

The moment the tape came off, she cried so heartbreakingly that it hurt my heart. I carried her to the basement door, where a sliver of light shone through the crack.

With one arm holding Faye, I pounded on the door with the other and shouted, “Open this door, Ula! She is your own daughter! She’s terrified of the dark. If you leave her down here, something bad is going to happen!”

Eric kicked the door hard in response.

“Keep it down in there! Ms. Grove is upstairs celebrating her goddaughter’s birthday. If you ruin this party for her, you’ll have much worse coming your way!”

I nodded vigorously in the dark, suddenly frantic with worry.

“Okay, I’ll be quiet! Just please let Faye out. She can’t take any more of this!”

I looked at Faye in my arms. She was too terrified to even cry anymore. All I could do was keep begging.

Eric grew impatient with my pleading and finally warned me harshly, “That’s enough, I’m not letting you out! If you keep pushing me, I’ll go get Ms. Grove. Trust me, next time, it won’t just be the basement you’ll have to worry about. Don’t you know where you stand with Ms. Grove? Why do you insist on provoking Mr. Loof? He is the apple of her eye!”

I squeezed my eyes shut.

I was willing to be yelled at by Ula’s bodyguard, but I could not afford to risk Faye’s life.

So, I threatened him, “Faye is Ms. Grove’s only daughter! If something happens to her, do you really think you won’t be blamed? Call Ula right away!”

Eric hesitated before finally calling Ula on the phone.

The moment the call connected, I shouted out desperately, “Ula! Let Faye out! She’s already passed out from fear. If you keep her in here any longer, she’s not going to survive!”

Ula knew very well how severe Faye’s nyctophobia was.

Ula’s heart softened when she heard this.“Fine, let Faye out—”Just then, Jordan’s voice came through the phone.“It’s Eira’s birthday today. Put the phone away. Are you worried about Bernhard and Faye? They will be fine. We installed a new light in the basement, remember? Come on, blow out the candles with Eira.”There was a light down there, but it was always sabotaged and never worked when Faye was locked in.Ula let out a cold snort.“What could possibly go wrong? There’s a light down there. You are still trying to trick me. You just want to get out and ruin Eira’s birthday party! How can you be so cruel? I’m telling you, you need to get your act together. If you don’t, Faye is going to end up just as rotten as you are.”She then hung up without hesitation.After my call with Ula, Eric became even more determined to ignore both Faye and me.I could only hold Faye tightly and keep talking nonstop to stop her from falling asleep.As I spoke, my voice began to choke up.I

I sank into despair.If we truly had to wait for three days, we would probably not survive.Faye was getting weaker by the minute, and after that shock, I was coughing up blood. I could barely move. I felt like any second could be my last.But what other choice did I have?Ula was such a fool. No matter what I said, she simply refused to believe me. All I could do was hold Faye tightly and silently pray to God over and over again in my heart.“God, please. Don’t take my little girl. She is still so young. She has always been good. She’s never bullied anyone. She doesn’t deserve to die because of this.”...Soon, it was evening. To make Eira happier at this birthday party, Ula moved the celebration to another venue.It was not safe at night, so Eric went out with them to protect them.Faye’s breathing was faint in my arms, and I no longer had the strength to speak.That was when I heard footsteps outside the door. It was our housekeeper, Wanda Rockhold.She opened the door

It turned out that, to the public, Ula’s husband was Jordan.I was seething with rage. I opened the car door and shouted at John.“I am Ula’s legal husband!”I pulled out the locket that Ula had given me at our wedding from around my neck. Since it was extremely valuable, the locket she gave me had gone viral on the day of our wedding ceremony.John’s eyes widened when he saw it. I thought he would recognize me. However, he lunged forward the very next second and snatched the locket right off my neck.He yanked so hard that my neck was scratched, and it started bleeding. Seeing this, Taylor rushed forward to defend me and started fighting John. But Taylor was no match for John at all. John beat Taylor unconscious.John then pinned me to the ground so I could not move.Just then, Ula appeared with a toy in her hand.John immediately asked in a fawning tone, “Ms. Grove, I got someone here pretending to be your husband and daughter. What do you want me to do with them?”Ula was u

Gone?!Ula’s first instinct was to think that Bernhard had bribed Alex to deceive her.She thus immediately flew into a rage.“Whose side are you even on? Do you still want your job? What could he possibly offer to make you turn against me? Just get them to the restaurant I booked! They probably haven’t had a decent meal for the past three days.”Alex was on the verge of tears as she stammered, “I’m telling you the truth, Ms. Grove. Mr. Elwood and Faye are really gone. There is nothing but a pool of blood down there.”Alex sounded genuine, so Ula began to panic. Her heart pounded, and a sharp pain shot through her chest. She rushed back home after hanging up. She called Bernhard countless times along the way, but there was no answer.The basement door hung wide open, and a group of maids had gathered around.Ula shouted frantically as she pushed through the crowd.“Bernhard!”She told herself that this had better be one of his tricks, but when she pushed through the maids, the

Ula held her head and wept bitterly. Finding no outlet for her anguish, she could only frantically slap her own face.If only she had realized it sooner.If only she had let them out when she got that first phone call.Had she done that, Bernhard would have never taken Faye away.Unfortunately, there were no “ifs” in this world.Ula hit rock bottom overnight. She locked herself at home and refused to eat or drink....The first thing I did when I woke up was grab the doctor’s hand.“Faye! Is Faye okay?”When I moved, the freshly scabbed wound on my neck tore open again, but I had no time to care about that. All I could think about was Faye.The doctor looked at me quietly. His eyes were filled with sorrow. In that instant, a terrible premonition surged within me.I asked anxiously, “Where’s Faye? Doctor, I’m asking you, where is my daughter? Without me by her side, she’ll cry!”The doctor patted my hand to comfort me as he said softly, “I’m so sorry. We couldn’t save Faye

So, I turned Maya down and married Ula.Before Maya left the country, she gave me her contact information and told me to reach out anytime if I changed my mind.I had saved the number in my phone, but never called it.

I turned and was about to leave, but Ula panicked and grabbed my wrist urgently.I instinctively flung her hand off and shouted, “You’re filthy!”Ula stared at me in shock, as if she had not understood what I just said.“Bernhard?”Her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at me. I looked her up and down a few times before saying, “Ula, our relationship ended long ago. I don’t want to see you. Please, leave me alone. I’m going home.”She had not expected me to act so ruthlessly.“Bernhard, you’ve been gone all this time, and that’s all you have to say to me? Do you have any idea how much effort I put into finding you?”I did not know, nor did I want to know.She pointed at the company building and continued, “Where’s Faye? If you’re working here now, who’s taking care of her? She’s still young! Let’s go pick up Faye and go home. There are people at home who can look after her.”The moment she mentioned Faye, rage surged within me. I lost my composure and slapped Ula hard

“I’ll take care of my own husband. You don’t need to bother.”With that, she tried to pull me away; however, Maya firmly grabbed her wrist and looked at Ula with defiance.Neither of them was willing to back down.I shot Ula an impatient glare, snatched the folder back, and said, “I have nothing to do with you anymore. I’m certainly not your husband. If you don’t want me to hate you even more, let go.”She had not expected me to side with Maya, who had no connection to me at all, so she grew even more aggrieved and started sobbing.“I’ve failed Faye. I’ve let her down. Bernhard, please take me to see Faye.”She looked devastated. Even though she had dared to mention Faye again, I tried my hardest to suppress my emotions.I gritted my teeth and said harshly, “You don’t deserve her. She doesn’t want to see you either.”I tried to walk away, but Ula desperately clutched the hem of my shirt.“Bernhard, please don’t leave me. I’ve lost Faye, and now you’re all I have left. Please
