Female Solidarity

My sister and I married into wealthy families at the same time and became glamorous society wives. She had been childhood sweethearts with her husband, a CEO who was admired and respected by all. On the surface, their marriage was harmonious and respectful. But three years after the wedding, she got drunk one night and tearfully confessed to me. "Carrie… he's seeing someone else. He even has a love child now. They've been together longer than we've been married. He's been lying to me all this time. I'm just a joke to him." My eyes burned, brimming with unshed tears. "Actually… Kai's cheating too. He even bought his mistress a luxury car." We cried together all night. Gradually, our sorrow slowly turned into cold, clear resolve. "I don't want that bastard anymore, Carrie." "It's okay, Rachel. If you're walking away, I am too. I don't want my scumbag husband either." After a long talk, we made our final decision: Since this life wasn't working, we'd disappear. We'd leave it all behind and vanish without a trace.

Chapter 1
"So… what reason should we use for our vanishing act?" Rachel asked. Her not-so-clever brain struggled to come up with a good excuse.I shook my head and pulled up the itinerary Kai's assistant had sent me.Kai really did know how to charm women. The day after we got married, he insisted that his assistant send me his weekly schedule without fail.Back then, he'd cuddle up to me, calling me "honey bunny" with stars practically twinkling in his eyes. He said he needed me to keep him on a leash, and that it made him feel safe.And just like that, I fell for it. The two of us were sweet as honey in those days.But now? That same charm he once lavished on me… he probably used it all on his mistress.Still, that itinerary turned out to be useful. It made planning my "disappearance" a whole lot easier."Kai has a business trip next week," I said. "It's a project with the Rangoon Ventures, so Lex Rangoon will likely be there too. And since it's peak travel season, we'll just say we wan

Chapter 2
It wasn't until the next day that we saw news about Kai and Lex again.By then, Rachel and I had already slipped away to another island. We were lounging in our villa, sipping wine and wearing face masks as we scrolled through the headlines.On-screen, Lex looked grim, while Kai's eyes were visibly red. The two sat side by side in a car.A reporter, speaking into the camera, delivered the latest update."Breaking news: Renowned designer Carrie Wunder and her sister Rachel Wunder have gone missing after a tragic accident while vacationing on a seaside island. Their whereabouts remain unknown. Both of their husbands, Huxley Ventures CEO, Kai Huxley, and Rangoon Ventures Chairman, Lex Rangoon, are reportedly en route to the island and will personally join the search efforts."Rachel scoffed."Hmph. Too little, too late. If they had the guts to cheat, they should've expected we'd leave eventually."I nodded in agreement. A swipe of my finger brought up the next headline.[Shocking:

Chapter 3
But honestly, neither Rachel nor I cared anymore.Rachel and I were never the type to cling to a scumbag. It had been three months since our "disappearance." While dodging Kai and Lex, we'd also been touring the country, enjoying life to the fullest.Now, we'd temporarily settled in a quaint little town. Though "town" might be underselling it—it was technically a scenic resort, buzzing with life and packed with food, shops, and entertainment.I rented a cozy courtyard house here. Most days, Rachel and I lounged by the fire, brewing tea and basking in our peace. It was pure bliss."Carrie, these past few months have been amazing. I've played so much, too much, in fact," Rachel said, cradling a warm cup of milk tea, her posture lazily relaxed.She'd always been someone with simple desires, content to go with the flow.I gave her a side-eye. "That's all it takes to make you happy? You're hopeless."But she just shook her head and passed me a roasted orange, its skin still warm an

Then, another voice followed—this one trembling, as if on the verge of tears. "Carrie… are you disgusted with me? You're really out here looking for someone else?!"My mind buzzed, going completely blank.The college guy beside me had no idea what was happening. He looked bewildered, staring at the two strangers who had just barged in.Before either of us could react, Kai rushed over and pulled me into his arms."Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you?" he said hoarsely. "Carrie, why did you lie to me?"At first, I was just shocked. But the moment he wrapped his arms around me and said those words, all I felt was revulsion.I shoved him away with all my strength, and the college guy quickly stepped in to block him, instinctively standing in front of me.He didn't know the full story, but his sense of justice wouldn't let him ignore what looked like harassment."Who the hell are you? Can't you see she doesn't want this? Back off! This is harassment!"Kai frowne

Chapter 5
His expression was firm, and not at all like someone lying.Strangely, I began to doubt my own judgment.I looked at him, suspicion still lingering in my eyes."Are you just refusing to admit it? You brought Briana into the company and even bought her a luxury car."And Lex—he has a four-year-old illegitimate daughter. That's longer than he's even been married to Rachel. Neither of you are any good!"My words seemed to catch Kai off guard. He choked for a moment, his reply stammering."N-No! It's not like that, Carrie! What gave you that idea? About Briana? And about an illegitimate daughter?"His reaction looked a lot like guilt, but after all these years, I knew him better than anyone.Kai in public and Kai in private were like two different people.Out there, he was the successful young CEO, polished and charming. But behind closed doors, he liked to act spoiled around me—so much so that whenever I questioned him, he'd get flustered and start stammering. He couldn't lie to

Chapter 6
Who was that?I turned toward the voice.Standing at the gate of the courtyard was Briana, dressed in a flowing white dress with flawless makeup, waving at us with a bright smile.What was she doing here?I instinctively glanced at Kai. His expression mirrored my surprise.I hadn't bothered to close the gate when we entered earlier. Briana walked in as if she belonged here, completely at ease.She came to stand beside me, her face full of innocent concern as she looked toward Kai."Kai, so this is why you rushed out of the hotel. You spotted Carrie! You told me that day she was here, but I didn't believe you. So it turns out Carrie was just throwing a tantrum all along."Then she turned to me, her eyes brimming with sympathy."Carrie, Kai has been looking everywhere for you. You've been far too willful this time. He's been juggling work while searching for you every day. It breaks my heart just watching him."Her words were packed with insinuation, and my brows knitted in fru

Chapter 7
Rachel was swayed by my words, and the two of us decided to return to the courtyard house.The moment we stood up from the bench, we noticed several bodyguards following close behind.It wasn't hard to guess who had sent them.From a distance, we could already see the two men standing side by side at the courtyard gate. Briana was nowhere to be seen.As soon as they caught sight of us, both of their eyes lit up.Rachel, still sulking, ignored Lex and brushed past him into the house, firmly shutting the door behind her to keep him out.Kai looked at me with a pleading expression, silently begging for forgiveness.Unfortunately, even though I was willing to believe him, Briana's unexpected appearance had left a lingering shadow in my heart."We'll return to Laguna City tomorrow. Whatever needs to be said can wait till then."With that, I stepped inside, leaving him standing in the courtyard.Early the next morning, I boarded the Huxley family's private jet with a weary face.K

Chapter 8
After our openly honest conversation, every last trace of doubt in my heart finally vanished. As I looked at Kai, I suddenly noticed how much weight he'd lost.I'd acted too impulsively. Faking my death might have seemed like a bold move, but the pain I'd caused him was far too great.My eyes welled with tears, and I threw myself into his arms."Kai… I'm so sorry."This time, Kai completely broke down.The powerful CEO of the Huxley Ventures was now sobbing like a child. "Carrie, I was so scared… I can't believe you didn't trust me…"He was twenty-six this year, and seeing him cry like this was both heartbreaking and—if I'm honest—a little funny. But I still ached for him.From the day we met, I'd known he was a soft-hearted crybaby. And this time, it really was my fault. I had misunderstood him and then gone to such an extreme. It must have shattered him.I sat up, and he instinctively adjusted his position, nestling his head into the crook of my neck.Looking at his red nose

After three days in the ICU, she passed away.At the time, Lex was away at university in another city.

Eventually, he turned the tide. Not only did he start his own company, he went on to acquire the original Rangoon Ventures.

Chapter 10
Three months later, while I was home working on a design draft, Kai suddenly returned, though he should've been at the office.At first, I thought he was doing another one of his surprise home checks to make sure I hadn't vanished again.Ever since the last time I left, Kai had grown unusually clingy.Back when he worked at the company, he used to send me a barrage of messages during his breaks. I'd reply when I saw them, and even if I responded late, he wouldn't mind. He'd just keep spamming me with cute, clingy stickers.But now, things were different. His messages came more frequently, and if I didn't reply quickly enough, he'd come rushing home.I still remembered the first time he barged into my studio. I looked up in shock and asked if something had happened.He walked straight over and pulled me into a tight embrace."You didn't respond… I thought you'd left again."That's when I realized just how deeply my disappearing act had traumatized him.So after that, I simply s
