MasukOn the day of our wedding, Liam Hopkins’ childhood sweetheart stood by the bridge, threatening to take her own life. The moment he hung up the phone, he was ready to leave. Desperately, I clung to his sleeve. “Liam, if you walk out that door, it’s over between us!” “Diana! This is a matter of life and death. I’ll marry you, but don’t make a scene!” With those words, he turned and rushed away, leaving me standing alone. Determined, I spun around and completed the wedding vows with another man. But later, he dared to ask why I didn’t wait for him. I laughed coldly. “Belated love? It’s cheaper than dirt.”

Just then, the door suddenly opened. “Dia, I—” My mom’s voice cut in. I practically leapt away, my face burning. She stood in the doorway, awkwardly laughing. “Oh, um, I just remembered something. I’ll step out for a bit. You two enjoy yourselves.” She quickly shut the door and disappeared. Feeling embarrassed, I smacked Sigmund on the arm. “This is your fault! She saw us!” “Doesn’t matter. She’ll understand. After all, I’ve been single for so many years!” I was completely stunned. I couldn’t believe he was saying something like that at his age.I playfully swatted his back and dragged him home with me.As it turned out, despite his age, Sigmund’s stamina was impressive—I was still weak in the knees the next day.Sigmund kept his word too. He made me the most influential person in the Hopkins family. E
Liam’s face turned ashen. Taking a deep breath, I said, “Leave. There will never be anything between us again. And next time you see me during the holidays, remember your place.”Liam tried to step forward, but I stopped him. “No matter how hard you try, I’ll never look back.”I had already made my choice. I didn’t know how long this arrangement with Sigmund would last, but at that moment, I realized being with him wasn’t so bad.Liam’s face grew pale as he stumbled away, looking utterly defeated. Watching his retreating figure, I let out a long sigh of relief.When I returned inside, I was surprised to find Sigmund there as well.“You said you weren’t coming,” I said, startled.“The meeting got canceled, so I thought I’d drop by.”My mom lit up the moment she saw him, tapping me on the shoulder. “You silly girl, this is his mother-in-law’s house—he’s welcome anytime!”She hurried off to fetch another set of utensils, clearly thrilled. Meanwhile, Sigmund glanced at me and said, “Don’
I nodded. “We’ve talked it out, but he doesn’t seem willing to end things peacefully.”Hearing this, Sigmund immediately wrapped his arm around my waist. “Liam, when you see my wife from now on, show some respect. If there’s a next time, I won’t hesitate to send you overseas.”Liam froze, clearly stunned, while Sigmund led me out without another word. My belongings were packed up and taken by the bodyguards.Once we returned, Sigmund went straight to his study to work, while I collapsed onto the bed, letting out a long sigh of relief. My phone buzzed incessantly with messages from Liam, full of apologies and pleas for forgiveness. He even had the audacity to suggest I leave Sigmund.Scoffing, I took a screenshot of his messages and unblocked Sharon just long enough to send them to her. “Your dear friend doesn’t seem to want to let go of me. Please handle him.”After sending the message, I blocked her again, along with Liam.The two of them could spiral together for all I cared.After
He always used to say things like, "Whatever you like, it’s up to you," or, "It’s just a place to sleep and eat. There’s no need to put too much thought into it." He never understood how much joy I took in creating a home. But now, I was reclaiming all of it. Sigmund, standing nearby, said in his calm voice, "We can decorate our home too." I paused, surprised. Our home?Was he serious? "And one more thing. We haven’t filed for the marriage certificate yet." His words caught me off guard, but before I could respond, there was a loud crash. The door had swung open, and the sound of shattering glass echoed in the room. I turned to see Liam standing there, his bloodshot eyes fixed on me, and a vase I’d painstakingly picked out lying in pieces on the floor. “You!” he snarled. I grabbed Sigmund’s arm. “Go to the other room. I need to talk to him.” “Alright. Call me when you’re done,” he said simply, strolling to the study and closing the door behind him.
