Lucy's embrace stirred a feeling of revulsion deep within me. I forcefully pushed her away and said coldly, "I, for one, wish I never had to see you again."

With that, I stepped past her and headed inside. But to my surprise, Lucy grabbed hold of my wrist and knelt down before me.

    Lucy's embrace stirred a feeling of revulsion deep within me. I forcefully pushed her away and said coldly, "I, for one, wish I never had to see you again."With that, I stepped past her and headed inside. But to my surprise, Lucy grabbed hold of my wrist and knelt down before me."Garrett, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I got so trapped in my own head, convinced you'd betrayed my love. That's why I did all those things to hurt you. It's only during this time without you that I've been consumed with regret. "Garrett, I love you. Can we go back to the way things were?"I turned around and looked at Lucy kneeling before me, feeling not the slightest ripple of emotion."If you had said this to me a few months ago, I would've been overjoyed."After all, these were the words I had longed to hear every single moment during those three humiliating years by her side."But it's too late now. Lucy, I don't love you anymore. Every day of those three years I spent by your side was hell. It

    In the morning, I made chicken soup and knocked on the door of my neighbor.Abigail Reese opened the door, and her eyes lit up noticeably when she saw me."Garrett, what can I do for you?"My gaze fell upon her bandaged right arm."With your arm out of commission, let me take care of your meals until the cast comes off," I said apologetically.Three months ago, Mr. Sloan had sent me to this remote border town, far from the bustling city. I had rented a room at the local guesthouse, intending to stay long-term.Abigail was a local and two years younger than me. After we'd only met a handful of times, she suddenly confessed to me, saying she had fallen for me at first sight.It really caught me off guard. Once I recovered, I turned her down flat.My three-year ordeal with Lucy had drained any hope I had for love, much less any belief in the idea of love at first sight.Fortunately, after being rejected, Abigail was quite gracious about it and didn't pester me excessively.

    Lucy seized Oscar by the chin and said viciously, "This is all your fault. If it weren't for you, Garrett and I would never have fought, and his mother wouldn't have died because of it."If you hadn't smashed Stacy's urn, how could Garrett have been driven to such despair that he sought death? I'm going to make you pay for everything you've done today!"When Oscar saw the ruthless ferocity in Lucy's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder. He hastily grabbed hold of her arm and said, "Lucy, what are you talking about? I have no idea what you mean."Lucy flung his hand away, her gaze utterly cold. "Strip him naked and throw him into the slum."Several bodyguards immediately seized and dragged Oscar out.Panic flooded through Oscar in an instant. He clung desperately to the doorframe, begging Lucy for forgiveness. But her expression remained cold and completely unmoved.Realizing there was no getting out of it that day, Oscar decided he might as well go down in flames."Lucy, you were

    That dead body wasn't really me. So, to avoid any further complications and prevent Lucy from seeing through the ruse, Mr. Sloan had swiftly disposed of the body while she was still unconscious.Now, the fact that I had perished in the fire was ironclad.Lucy became so emotionally agitated that she shoved Mr. Sloan away."Garrett is my husband! Who gave you the right to cremate him without my consent? Give him back to me!"Mr. Sloan was knocked to the ground. But he ignored the pain and got up again, wrapping his arms around her."Lucy, I know you're heartbroken, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. You need to move on. In a few days, I'll set you up on a blind date with the heir of the Crawford fam—"Before Mr. Sloan could finish his sentence, Lucy had already cast him aside and run outside.She arrived at the cemetery and, seeing the serene smile of mine on the tombstone, could not help but kneel before my grave and wept bitterly. "Garrett, I'm sorry. I'm the one who g

    Lucy froze for a few seconds before finding her voice. "What did you say?"Before she had even finished listening, she immediately sprang up and rushed outside. Oscar, who was nearby and had no idea what was going on, followed and grabbed her wrist."Lucy, where are you going?"Lucy flung his hand away and roared, "Get lost!"She drove through countless red lights, racing all the way from the nightclub back to the villa. By then, the fire had just been extinguished, and the bodyguards were carrying "my body" out.She fixed her gaze on the charred corpse."No, this isn't Garrett. This can't be him," she said, shaking her head.She charged into the villa, frantically searching everywhere and shouting, "Garrett, come out! You're just playing a prank on me, right?"Garrett, if you just come out, I'll forgive you. I won't ever hold it against you again that you wanted to divorce me. Garrett, come out now."Lucy called out for a long time amid the charred ruins but received no respo

    I knelt beside Mom's bed, clutching her hand tightly."Mom, it's me. Please, just open your eyes and look at me."But no matter how I called out to her, her eyes remained shut tight.A long time passed. Only when my tears had run dry did I shakily pull myself to my feet and make the arrangements to have Mom cremated.I carried her urn to the cemetery, ready to lay her to rest.Mom loved the sea more than anything, so I'd planned to bury her by the shore. But before I could do so, a car pulled up in front of me. Several bodyguards descended on me and dragged me before Lucy.Lucy fixed me with a steely glare. "Garrett, you've grown some nerve! How dare you try to run?"I looked back at her with pure hatred. "What gives you the right to lock me up?"Because of her, the last family I had in this world was gone too.My words only stoked her rage further. She seized my chin and hissed, "Garrett, this is what you owe me!"I laughed through the tears spilling down my cheeks. "Lucy, I
