My husband doesn't touch me on our wedding night. He claims he's too tired and asks me to wait. Then, he sneaks into the basement in the wee hours of each night. Whenever he returns, he needs to shower to wash away an indescribable smell. I ask him what he does down there, and he tells me he works out. Why would anyone work out in the middle of the night? I can't take it anymore. One night, I decide to sneak into the basement to see what's going on down there. He chases after me and grabs my pajamas, roaring, "Come back up here! I'll divorce you if you step foot down there!"

Chapter 1

"I won't stop you. Go."

Amy's head jerked up, surprise flashing in her eyes.

Her eyes narrowed. "Isaac, what are you plotting now? Don't tell me you're playing hard to get. You think I'd care?"

I held her gaze. "Your choice. Leave or stay."

A mocking smile curled on her lips. "If you'd been this reasonable earlier, we could've skipped all this. The more you cling to me, the more I hate you."

She paused, voice turning cold. "Go explain it to your family. I'm never agreeing to some marriage deal. Don't think you can use it to threaten me later."

At the words "marriage deal," I let out a quiet laugh.

In my last life, our families shoved two strangers together for profit.

That's how we got stuck in seven miserable years.

"I'll handle it. Don't worry about it."

I pulled the pocket watch off my chest and slammed it on the floor.

The crystal face shattered with a sharp crack.

"This was the engagement token our families agreed on. Now it's broken. You're free."

In my last life, I'd dropped to my knees at the airport, begging her to stay.

I even pulled out that pocket watch to threaten her.

If the Lacey family broke the engagement, they'd be the joke of the business world.

So Amy caved for her family's reputation and left the airport with me.

A few days later, the news said Bryan had died in a riot overseas.

She hated me for seven years because of it.

If I hadn't stopped her that day, maybe she could've convinced Bryan to stay.

"Isaac Irving, you're a murderer. Every time I see your face, I feel sick. Even if I die, I could never love someone as disgusting as you!"

I'd heard those words more times than I could count.

I knew she married me just to get back at me and make one thing clear—her heart would never be mine.

Years of cold cruelty wore me down.

So I promised her one last trip before filing for divorce.

And yet, the woman who hated me to the bone—

When the plane started going down, she shoved away the parachute I gave her without a second thought.

She'd rather die than owe me anything.

***

"Isaac, have you really thought this through? You're not gonna cling to me again?"

For once, Amy's voice carried a hint of hesitation.

The female character was too dumb at first. Painful to read. In the end she got smarter.
