Ian Tost was the prince of the notorious underworld. Everyone in Harbor City knew he spoiled me rotten. He even went so far as to hire ninety-nine female bodyguards to keep me from harm. It did not prevent a kidnapping attempt on me. One of those bodyguards, Cece Yates, ended up with nothing more than a scratch. Ian immediately brought in the nation’s top medical specialists to treat her. To comfort her, he even took her to the Maldives for a vacation and gifted her an island. Not long after they returned from their trip, Beatrix Kazinsky, my mother, suddenly suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. Then, Michael Kazinsky, my younger brother, died in an accident during a competition. I burst into the morgue while in tears, only to overhear Ian comforting Cece. “All right now, it was my fault you got hurt last time. I’ve made Mira’s family pay for it. You’ve got too much grace to hold a grudge against her.” With my nails digging into my palms, I finally realized everything that had happened to my family was Ian’s doing. It was all just because his precious bodyguard got hurt because of me! I stumbled out of the hospital with my brother’s death certificate in a daze. On my phone, messages from that person kept coming. It added up to ninety-nine share transfer agreements, along with his promise. [As long as you want me, my arms will always be open for you.]

When he tried to slip the ring back onto my finger, I simply snorted.After soaking in seawater for so long, the metal was already mottled with rust, just like the cracks that had long since split our love apart.I swatted it from his hand and sent it clattering to the floor. Ian dropped to his knees and searched for it like a madman.I watched him coldly. “Don’t bother. There’s no going back between us.”Tears streamed down his cheeks as he got back to his feet and walked toward me again. He grabbed my hand and struck himself with it.Once, twice, three times… Each slap was hard. However, I would never forgive him for what he had done. I pulled my hand free. He stumbled as if I had yanked it away with all my strength.He began recounting the moments from when we were still in love. “Mira, that night under the meteor shower five years ago, we made a wish to spend our lives together, remember? Remember that trip to the snow-capped mountains to see the sunrise? We were caught in

Cece’s face twisted in pain and shock. A cry escaped her lips as she clutched her injured arm. Tears flooded her eyes in an instant.“Ian, Mira is gone. You should move on. I mean, you should think about me.”As soon as she said that, Ian turned around and slapped her. “How many times do I have to say it? Mira is not dead! Until the day I see her body, she’s alive and well!”His obsessive tone startled everyone in the room, but someone still had the nerve to step forward and aggravate the situation.“Mr. Tost, Mira is gone. The dead can’t come back. The Tost family has its traditions, and you can’t be without a wife. We’re here on your family’s orders. It’s time for you to pull yourself together and choose a new wife.”The moment the woman finished, Ian grabbed her by her throat. “Who gave you the right to tell me what to do? I will have only one wife for the rest of my life, and that’s Mira!“Guards, throw these people out. And those of you who laid a hand on Mira’s things, I’ll

Six months later, he forbade anyone from mentioning my name. “Mira Kazinsky” had become an invisible shackle in his heart.After Ian returned home, he ruthlessly obliterated every scandalous tabloid thread about him and Cece. Catching wind of it, Cece, who had not fully recovered from her injuries, showed up at the gate of Ian’s villa with a group of girlfriends.“Cece, you’ve liked the Tost family’s prince for ages, right? If Mira hadn’t shown up in his life, you would’ve been Mrs. Tost. Now that her body’s been picked clean by sharks, isn’t this the perfect chance to make your move?”“That’s right. From the way those rumors were flying before, it’s obvious Ian has feelings for you, too. Forget about anyone else, you should fight for yourself!”Listening to her friends egg her on, Cece thought of how Ian’s renewed favor had brought her a steady stream of resources and power over a few days, so much that it all felt unreal.Ian had done everything with her that any normal couple

Below the cliff stretched an endless, dark ocean. Ian watched as my figure grew smaller in front of him. He froze for a moment before a raw, guttural roar tore from his throat. He dropped to his knees. His hands grasped nothing but air. Cold rain pelted his face. The few worthless tears he shed bled into the downpour and vanished without a trace.As Cece watched me disappear from the cliff, her lips curled into a sly and fleeting smile.Then, she quickly turned to Ian and called out. “Ian, help me! I’m so scared!”Only then did Ian snap out of the dizzying haze the scene had thrown him into.He got to his feet. His eyes were blazing with obsession and madness, like a dragon robbed of its most prized treasure.He cast a glance at Cece. His bloodshot eyes no longer registered anyone else. There was only the need to find me. He turned and walked away without saying a word to her.“Gather every man we have in the area to search for my wife. I don’t care what it takes. Find her, d
