Ruan's gaze was icy, darkened by a fury he could barely contain, as he looked at Josephine for the last time and walked away. Her voice echoed behind him, a shrill and desperate plea begging him to get her out of there.

He could not allow time to erase the memory of the horror. He should not have forgotten what had happened more than six years ago, when Josephine offered Chloe an abortifacient tea without her knowing the truth. They had needed to flee so as not to lose another child. It was six years of self-imposed exile, in which he learned to love Chloe for having given him such a loving son.

There was nothing more important to Ruan than Christopher's safety, and he would face anyone to ensure it, even if that “anyone” was directly linked to the woman he supposedly loved.

When he arrived outside the police station, the cold night air could not appease the fire in his chest. Megan ran to hug him. It was a hug of relief and possession, and Ruan noted how strange it was that she wasn'

    Seeing Chloe in another man's arms made Ruan lose his mind. Her harshness and the way she spoke to him made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He punched the steering wheel as soon as he turned the corner and found himself in front of the school to talk to Megan.He had to run through the hallways after her like an endless marathon. Why was Megan hiding from him? He then remembered how nervous she had gotten when he said they needed to talk but didn't explain why.He stood breathless when he realized he had walked the entire school looking for her and hadn't found her. Not only that, but he took his phone out again and made another call.“Where are you?” His hoarse voice sounded loud, mixing with the students' shouts.“I'm at the police station,” Megan cried, and that made Ruan's heart stop for a moment. “The police arrested my mother, Ruan.”His heart pounded, not for Josephine, but from seeing how much Megan was suffering with everything that was happening.That was enough

    Ruan was on his way to work when he got a call from Grace that morning. He drove through the streets, irritated, his mind replaying Megan’s behavior.He had woken up, and she wasn’t home. The messy bed revealed the rough night they’d had. It felt strange to be beside the woman he loved without being able to touch her. They didn’t even kiss anymore or share the same bed.He called her several times, but Megan didn’t answer any of his calls. It was too early for her to be at work, and Ruan sensed something was wrong. Megan had never been temperamental, never violent like she’d been the night before.He pulled the car over to answer the call. When Grace’s voice echoed on the other end of the line, Ruan instantly knew something serious had happened to Chloe.“I’m taking Chris to school, but Chloe is badly hurt. You need to come to the hospital and see her.”Ending the call, Ruan turned the car around and sped toward the hospital. His chest burned as he imagined Chloe in danger. He didn’t

    When Chloe looked at her hands, they were bleeding. She tried to ignore the bitter taste in her mouth as she put the phone to her ear to speak with the attendant.“I need to file a complaint.” Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Josephine, who was still standing bravely in front of her. “I was assaulted inside my house. Please send a patrol car.”She heard Grace shouting while running toward her. Grace held her face with both hands, grimacing at what she saw. Her eyes fell on Josephine. Chloe was certain she had never seen Grace so furious at someone before.“You damn woman.” Grace closed her eyes, rehearsing a charge toward Josephine, but Chloe stopped her.“I already called the police,” she said, when Josephine’s eyes widened and she stumbled back, disappearing behind the door.Josephine had really believed Chloe would never have the courage to report her. At first, she thought Chloe was bluffing, but when she saw the confidence on Chloe’s face, Josephine feared the worst. S

    Megan’s lips pressed into a thin, tight line as she left the house before sunrise. She had seen Ruan sleeping in the guest room before she walked out, and the remnants of last night’s fight still littered the dining room floor.She felt as if the world had closed in around her. Before everything happened, she had been the woman he loved most, and no one had ever come between them—until Chloe slept with Ruan on the eve of their wedding. He had never stopped loving her, not even during the six years they had been apart.But now, for the first time, things felt different. Someone had stepped between them, stealing all of Ruan’s love and attention. Megan felt she couldn’t bear it. When she returned to Phoenix, she had decided to fight for him and take back what Chloe had destroyed.On tiptoe, she slipped outside, waited for the car to pull up, and climbed in. Behind the wheel sat Josephine, her face bare of makeup, a sharp line of irritation etched into her forehead.“What was so time-sen

    The heat in Phoenix was unbearable, but Chloe’s body trembled as if she stood in freezing weather below zero. Her hands sweated, and she couldn’t stop thinking about the surprise on Ruan’s face when he saw her with another man.“Why on earth was she thinking about Ruan?”Elijah sat across from her, reading the menu while she thought about her ex-husband. She needed to focus on that moment and live her life exactly as Ruan had done.She lifted her chin, wiped her hands on her dress, and picked up the menu to choose her dish. When she raised her eyes, she found Elijah staring at her in a way that made her cheeks burn with shame.“I hadn’t realized how beautiful you are,” he said with a smile before adding, “I should be choosing tonight’s meal, but I can’t stop looking at you.”Chloe’s lips trembled. No man had ever spoken such sincere words to her, and they made her heart sink in her chest, leaving her with no reaction at all.She didn’t even know how to respond.Chloe’s cheeks grew so
