Synopsis

Countdown

Marriage

Bias

Tragic Love

Plot Twists

I'm famous in the rich wives' society for having an ostrich-like personality—cowardly and often loves escaping from reality. In my three-year marriage, I've personally conducted cosmetic surgeries on 99 substitutes of Callum Holden's first love, Alice Teller. Veronica Dane, the 99th substitute, stares at her reflection in the mirror in delight. There's a trace of mockery in her eyes at the same time. "Mrs. Holden, I heard that you've been alone throughout your marriage. What a shame… To think that the nation's best plastic surgeon can't work on altering her own face. "In order to thank you for your efforts, I'll give you a glimpse of Callum's bedroom performance when the time comes. How about that?" I tune out Veronica's mocking words. After all, I've gone through similar situations 98 times in the past, and I have fought back before. But all Callum said to me was, "You owe me this much, Talia. You can never finish atoning for your sins, even if it takes you your entire life!" The thing is, he has forgotten that I've given him 99 substitutes, just as I had promised. Now, I will never go looking for the love that is never mine, to begin with.

Chapter 1
After going over the aftercare precautions in a routine manner, I logged into my email account and sent off a reply to confirm my acceptance of the offer an overseas research institute had sent me.Once the three days of Veronica Dane's observation period were over, I would be free.The moment I turned around, I saw that Callum Holden was standing behind me. He was holding a ticket to a talk by the surgeon I admired most."I know you love him, so I specifically procured this for you."Just as I was feeling rather touched at his gesture, he added, "Veronica looks exactly like her. Thank you, Lia. This is your reward."My expression froze briefly before twisting into a perfunctory smile. "You're welcome."Seemingly in a great mood, Callum actually invited me out for a meal, and to my favorite restaurant too.I had been friends with Callum since childhood, and we used to be practically glued together.However, ever since we got married, this was the first time we had actually sat

"Come with me immediately! Veronica says that her face is itchy!"It was a little past midnight right now, and Callum was dressed in his pajamas. Was he spending the night here?If I remembered correctly, he was supposed to head to Mallorn for a work trip tonight.Callum had always been strongly career-oriented. Even when I was having a difficult labor three years ago, he still abandoned me for a business deal.Yet, here he was, spending the night with Veronica?I stepped out of the on-call room and checked on Veronica. It turned out that she was only having a mild allergic reaction, nothing that some topical solution applied to her face wouldn't fix.Callum brushed his fingers across the smooth, supple skin of her face. He looked completely infatuated."What reward do you want?"Those words were clearly meant for me.Raising a brow, I replied, "I can ask for anything?""Yeah."With that, I dug out the divorce agreement I had prepared beforehand and handed it to him.Call

There was a dull pain at the back of my neck before my vision went dark. I lost consciousness.When I came to, I realized that I had been stuffed into a dark closet. Through the narrow gap of the door, I could see that the room outside was a bridal suite.Veronica's pliant body was wrapped around a man's muscular waist as she cooed breathily, "Tonight is our wedding night. Be gentle, okay? It's my first time."The muscles in Callum's neck bulged while he reached out to touch her face greedily. His demeanor was completely different from the perfunctory attitude he had shown me the night we slept together. The love shining in his eyes was practically overflowing."Be good, babe. I can finally have you."Taking a deep breath, I shut my eyes and slammed my head backward with a loud thump.Callum wrenched the closet door open, and when he saw that it was me, the rage on his face froze before briefly turning into guilt."Lia, what are you doing here?"…Callum took me to the hospita

As my consciousness returned to me, I realized that I was still sprawled on the icy hospital floor. The hives and itchiness all over my body had subsided.Callum's reddened eyes were focused on me, but I couldn't detect even the slightest bit of warmth in them."Tell me, just who does that bastard in your belly belong to?"I subconsciously shook my head. "I don't know. No, that's not right. There's no way I'm pregnant. You and I didn't even—"A scoff cut me off as Callum's lips twisted into a cruel sneer."That's right. I didn't even touch you, so where did that baby come from?"I opened my mouth to argue further, but at that moment, Veronica suddenly started shrieking.Blood poured from the blisters on her face, and the doctor shook his head helplessly when he saw that."It must be that solution Dr. Suther gave her. There's no way that Ms. Dane's face can recover here in this country."Veronica nestled into Callum's arms before pointing a hateful finger at me."Callum, that

"What's going on?" Callum muttered to himself in disbelief.Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he began checking his phone for the past medical records."97, 98, 99."It was then that he recalled he had once told Talia that if she created 99 substitutes for him, then he would let her go.Still, he had never thought about divorcing her!Pulling out his gun, he aimed it right between his subordinate's eyes and asked frostily, "Tell me who told you to chop off Talia's hands!"Callum was well aware that his subordinates had been with him long enough to know that he hadn't truly meant his words. None of them had the guts to harm Talia without his permission either.His subordinate raised a shaking finger to point at Veronica behind him. "I-It was Ms. Dane! She gave us the order to teach Talia—no, Mrs. Holden—a lesson! She said Mrs. Holden had to pay for what she did to Ms. Dane's face! She also said that this was what you wanted too!""What freaking nonsense!" Without any hesi

Cold sweat broke out across Veronica's forehead, but she still thought Callum was messing with her."Callum, stop it. You're scaring me.""You're scared?" Callum laughed coldly. "Then, have you ever thought about how terrified Lia must be right now? She had her hands chopped off and was falsely accused of something she didn't do! Don't tell me that you didn't know she wasn't actually pregnant!"Veronica's lips trembled, but she couldn't seem to find the words to explain herself.However, the moment an icy blade was pressed against her, she began babbling without much thought. "Callum, look at my face. Don't you love me the most? How could you bear to treat me like this? Talia is just a bitch! She—Ah!"Veronica was sent sprawling with a slap to the cheek. Her newly recovered face became lopsided again.Callum stared at her with a gaze so cold it was as though he were looking at something dead."Lia is my childhood friend and wife, while you're nothing but a substitute.

Callum stumbled to my bedroom and opened the door.A photo that had been hanging on the wall had fallen, revealing the journal that had been hidden in a little alcove behind it.Callum flipped through the journal and realized that every single entry was about him."Today is the day I got engaged to Callum. I know that he doesn't love me right now, but I'm willing to wait.""I got Callum another substitute. He was so happy about it, but my heart hurts terribly. When will these days come to an end?""28th June. Our baby is gone. Callum never came to visit me.""They were right. I really am an ostrich. Callum, it's so hard loving you.""Callum Holden, I don't love you anymore."Fat tears dripped from Callum's cheeks and landed on the journal, smudging the ink into an indecipherable mess. He clutched the journal to his chest and caressed it, treating it like the most precious treasure in the world."Lia, I love you…"A loud wail from the basement ruined the solemn atmosphere.Gr

Jamie looked rather put out and reluctant, but he still allowed Callum to come in.Callum looked starkly different from the man in my memories.A dark shadow of stubble covered his chin, and dried blood stained the wrinkled fabric of his suit. Those eyes that I used to love so much now had several new wrinkles creasing the corners.I averted my gaze, feeling rather uncomfortable.However, it was not because I was heartbroken to see him in this state, but because I found his ungroomed appearance just too unsightly."Lia, I'm so relieved to see that you're fine. I know that I was wrong, and I've already taken revenge for you. Forgive me?"He crouched beside my bed and offered up the video of him torturing Veronica.My face was blank as I had someone accept the video. Then, I spoke in a cool tone."Anything else?"Fishing out my journal, he pointed at the words while tears welled up in his eyes."Lia, I read everything. Turns out that you've loved me all along. It was my fault.

The nails stabbed deep into Callum's knees, but he still forced himself to stay upright. I could see the way he was grinding his teeth at the pain."Lia… please… forgive me."I frowned as I stared at the blood staining my window, finding it utterly disgusting. Noting my displeasure, Jamie instantly sent his men to drag Callum away.For a long time after that, I didn't see Callum again.Under the diligent care of my family and the medical experts, my hands successfully recovered.As the gauze was unwrapped, I tested my wrists by rotating them. There was no longer any pain, but I still couldn't hold a scalpel or do anything that required too much precision.Nonetheless, I didn't give up on my dream. Although I wouldn't be able to shine at the side of an operating table anymore, I could continue my medical research.Jamie invited Felix Linnell, my favorite surgeon, to be my research advisor, and with our combined efforts, we managed to attain some academic achievements that were no
