Winning Back the Husband

On our engagement day, my fiancee, Lucille Perry, had her childhood best friend, Derek Miller, show up with a box of handmade cookies as a gift. Out of basic courtesy, I picked one up and took a bite. Derek and a few of his buddies burst out laughing. "This mama's boy can't even recognize his own mother's ashes!" My stomach churned violently. Shocked and furious, I lunged at him to throw a punch, but Lucille desperately held me back. Derek looked at me smugly and grinned. "Since you already ate it, why don't you tell everyone how your mom tastes?" I was so angry that I kicked him right in the face. However, Lucille turned around and slapped me hard across the cheek. "Spencer Bourdain, is this really necessary? Can't you take a joke? Eating a little bit of ashes won't kill you. Look at how petty you're being!" My heart went completely numb. I quietly pulled out my phone and sent a message to a certain number. [The wedding reception is ready. All we need now is you, the bride-to-be.]

Chapter 1
My kick landed squarely on Derek's face. He fell backward, and blood gushed from his nose.The entire venue went dead silent as guests exchanged glances, not daring to make a sound.Everyone knew that whoever Lucille wanted to protect was practically untouchable. Even I, her fiance, was no exception.Derek struggled to get up from the floor, clutching his face and groaning. He shouted, "Don't you think you're overreacting, Spencer?! Lucille, I think my nose is broken. It hurts so bad!"The next second, Lucille lifted her leg and kicked me hard in the stomach. She was a former mercenary and the daughter of a mob boss, so her strength was far greater than most men's.I flew backward into the champagne tower, and the sound of shattering glass exploded as the liquid instantly soaked my entire body. Cuts from the broken glass covered my skin.Lucille glared down at me with a look that wanted to tear me apart. "Spencer, are you out of your mind?! Derek just mixed a little of your mom's

Chapter 2
When Lucille saw the pain on Derek's face, her expression changed again. She hissed, "Spencer, you actually tried to cripple Derek? Now the whole city knows I'm marrying a mad dog like you! Are you trying to humiliate me?!"She jabbed her finger at me viciously. "If you still care about my reputation, get on your knees right now and apologize to Derek, and bow your head a hundred times! If you do that, I'll pretend none of this happened."My heart plunged into an icy abyss. All these years, she had forced me to compromise and submit in every way for Derek's sake.Derek had ruined our engagement party and even insulted my mother's memory. Even so, she still would not side with me, not even once.Derek spoke up, "Lucille, even if Spencer does apologize, everyone will just think he's doing it because of you."How about this... Let's make him eat all these cookies. That way, everyone will think Spencer is the bigger man. What do you say?"Lucille's eyes lit up. "Hold him down!"The

Chapter 3
When we first got together seven years ago, Lucille had told me that Derek was sensitive and that I needed to be more 'understanding.'I finally understood what 'understanding' really meant. It meant I was the one who had to swallow every grievance and take the blame every single time.It worsened when Derek loved to torment me under the guise of joking around. Once, while I was in a meeting with a female client, he barged in and claimed he was catching me cheating on Lucille. In the end, he offended the client so badly that I lost a contract worth tens of millions of dollars.On the anniversary of Mom's death, he swapped out the candles and flowers I had prepared and replaced them with dog food. He said he wanted the old lady to try something new.However, Lucille always defended his actions and blamed me for being petty instead."Derek jokes with you because he considers you a friend and wants to get along with you. Don't be so ungrateful!"Three months ago, Derek went even fur

I stared at Derek and instinctively clenched my fists, ready to charge at him.However, Lucille reacted quickly and stepped in front of him. Her tone was sharp as she shouted, "Spencer, you just got back, and you're already causing trouble?! When will this ever end?"I was actually worried about you before, but you clearly have the strength to fight. Looks like you really were faking your injury to trick me."Watching her protect Derek like that, I suddenly recalled how we first met. She had stood in front of me just like this, confronting a group of thugs.Here she was, doing the same for someone else.At that moment, the last string of attachment I had for her disappeared.After a while, Derek poked his head out of the kitchen with a fake smile plastered on his face. "Spencer, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let me cook for you guys and show off my skills, and apologize for what happened before."He paused, then added another line. "Don't worry, the ingredients I'm using this

Chapter 5
On the day of the wedding, I put on the groomsman suit Derek had prepared for me and was assigned to stand at the entrance of the banquet hall to greet guests.The passing guests looked at me with complex expressions, their eyes wandering over my dirty, shabby clothes before looking into the hall.Derek, who was supposed to be the groomsman, wore the custom-tailored groom's tuxedo that should have been mine.A boutonniere was pinned to his chest as he stood beside Lucille in her wedding dress, chatting and laughing cheerfully. He naturally wrapped an arm around her waist and leaned down to whisper in her ear, making her cover her mouth and giggle.The two of them looked so intimate, like a perfect couple.As for me, the actual groom, I was reduced to a mere irrelevant outsider.It was not until just before the ceremony started that the emcee invited me onto the stage.The spotlight hit my face, somewhat blinding. When it came time to exchange rings, Derek carried the ring box an

Lucille did not outright object to Derek's demand. Instead, she turned her gaze toward me and played along with what Derek had said. "But... I think Derek has a point."Spencer, I'm going to be with you for the rest of my life. If you want me to feel secure marrying you, then do what Derek said. Otherwise..."There was a hint of threat in her eyes as she added, "Otherwise, it means you don't love me at all!"I looked at them quietly. The next second, I suddenly reached out and snatched the dog collar. With lightning speed, I snapped it around Derek's neck with a sharp click.Derek was caught completely off guard and coughed from being choked. Then, he realized what had happened.Furious and flustered, he shouted. "Spencer! What the hell are you doing?"Seeing this, Lucille was also shocked and shrieked at me. "Spencer! How could you put a dog collar on Derek's neck? Are you trying to humiliate him?!"I shrugged, my expression innocent. "What are you talking about, Lucille? I jus

Chapter 7
Outside the doors, backlit by the light, stood a woman. She wore a wedding dress even more magnificent than the one Lucille had on. Her veil softly covered her face, and she stood tall and straight.She did not look at anyone else. She saw me standing on the stage, and the corners of her lips curved up slightly. Then, she walked in with composed steps, one after another.She passed through the silent guests and stopped in front of Lucille, whose face had gone stiff.She glanced at her and Derek with disdain, her red lips parting as she spoke in a clear, cold voice, "If you're leaving, hurry up and go. Don't delay my wedding day with Spencer."Vivian Summers' ​​words landed like a bombshell.Lucille froze in shock, staring at her in disbelief as she shrieked. "Who are you? What nonsense are you spouting?! This is my wedding with Spencer. What's the meaning of you showing up here in a wedding dress?"Vivian scoffed, her eyes full of contempt. "Ma'am, are you blind or deaf? Didn't I

The next second, I pulled Vivian straight into my arms. Then, I lowered my head and kissed her deeply.She froze for half a heartbeat, then closed her eyes and kissed me back.That single scene set Lucille off. Her face turned deathly pale, drained of all color.When the kiss ended, I lifted my head and looked at her with nothing but indifference. I said flatly, "I don't need your guarantees or promises. Lucille, we're done!"The finality in my voice clearly shook her. Her eyes reddened as she rushed forward to grab my hand, but Vivian shoved her away."Don't touch him," snapped Vivian.She had received combat training from her father since childhood, and her skills were no less than Lucille's, who had been a mercenary.Lucille refused to give up and tried to fight back, but Vivian grabbed her wrist and skillfully pushed her to the ground.Lucille sat slumped on the floor, her voice choked with tears. "Spencer... You're just trying to make me angry, aren't you? There's no way y

After that day, I blocked Lucille on every platform and cut off all contact.Vivian and I moved to another city to avoid any more trouble. Our married life was peaceful and happy. With her companionship, the scars in my heart gradually healed.I thought life would continue this way.That was until a month later, on the day Vivian and I were preparing to move abroad together, Lucille somehow found me. I had just dragged my suitcase to the door when I heard urgent knocking.Through the peephole, I saw Lucille kneeling outside, soaking wet, her face as pale as a ghost. A torrential downpour was falling outside, but she let the rain soak her completely."Spencer, please open the door. I know you're in there! I was wrong before. I searched everywhere... to find your new address. Please... just let me see you."I hesitated for a few seconds but eventually opened the door.Seeing me, Lucille's face lit up with excitement. She trembled as she tried to get up from the ground, but I stopp
