MasukFor the sake of her secretary, who was supposedly battling cancer, my wife, Sofia Griffin, made a shocking proposal. She would pay ten million for taking his virginity as an attempt to help him raise the funds needed. I had barely opened my mouth to object when she cut me down with a sharp rebuke. She said, "Chris has always been a proud man. Just giving him the money would seem like a handout and hurt his pride. "Can't you try to be compassionate? Do you really have to be jealous over something this small?" I said nothing. I simply smiled and nodded. What she didn't know was that, as an infectious disease specialist, I had already recognized the signs. It wasn't cancer... It was late-stage AIDS.

She looked stunned, as if her mind had gone blank."A filthy woman like you; Every day I spent beside you was like a day in hell."With each sentence I spoke, the color drained further from her face. The light in her eyes went out, little by little.I pulled out another thick stack of documents from my briefcase and waved them lightly in front of her."Your extramarital affair. Your deliberate transfer of marital assets to a third party. Your long-term concealment of a serious infectious disease. I've already submitted all the evidence to the court. I trust the law will deliver a fair judgment."After that, I did not look at her again.I straightened my back and walked out of the hall without hesitation....A few days later, the divorce ruling was issued.The process was unexpectedly smooth.Sofia
This time, she had no room left to argue.In the days that followed, the company was battered by public outrage.Sofia no longer dared to leave the house.She locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink, the light in her eyes extinguished.All that remained was endless despair.I watched her carefully, then spoke again, gentle and measured."Sophie, things have already come this far. Since we can't hide it anymore, why don't we try a different approach?"She looked at me blankly.I lowered my voice, guiding her step by step."In a few days, hold a press conference. Say you were maliciously infected. Expose what Christopher did. At least that way, you'll win some sympathy. It will also explain why you contracted so many diseases."...A few days later, Sofia held the press conference.I attended in a tailored suit, seated beside her.According to the script we rehearsed, she broke down in tears, accusing Christopher of deliberately approaching her with a calculated
Sofia was overwhelmed with emotion.She held me tightly and wept uncontrollably.But she did not know that I never wanted her dead.What I wanted was for her to taste despair first, then to hand her a fragile, illusory hope.And finally, to let her cling to that hope as she slowly, inevitably, fell into an abyss with no return....Half a year later, Sofia's condition largely stabilized.Her HIV viral load was suppressed to an extremely low level. Her infectiousness was negligible.Still, I remained cautious.Regular checkups. Routine screenings.I made sure I was completely safe.After being discharged, Sofia gradually resumed her normal life and retook control of the company.To the outside world, we maintained a unified story; She simply took half a year off to recover from exhaustion.Life seemed to return to normal.Her nerves relaxed.It was as if everything that happened was nothing more than a nightmare, and I was the gentle light waiting at the end of it.One d
"Sophie, don't be afraid," I said gently. "Your mother was older. Her body couldn't handle something this severe. That's why she didn't make it."But you're different. You're still young. Your physical condition is much stronger. As long as you cooperate with treatment and take your medication on time, your body will gradually recover."She was still trembling, too hard to speak.So I continued, my tone calm and reassuring."And you need to understand that HIV isn't a death sentence anymore. It's a chronic condition that requires long-term management. As long as your viral load is controlled and your immune system stays stable, you can live just like a normal person. Seventy, eighty years old wouldn't be an issue."At last, a flicker of hope appeared in her terrified eyes.She grabbed my hand, her voice hoarse and fractured."Really? You're not lying to me, are you? I can still live?""Of course."I tightened my grip around her icy fingers, my gaze steady."We're husband and
