Chapter 1

On the border of Norvania, Suzanne York was shocked to learn that her brother had sold her off for 100 thousand dollars to cover his gambling debts. Technive was a high-tech area that was a hotbed of criminal activity. It was known for scams, human trafficking, organ trading, and violence. People there didn't care about human life. Suzanne's beauty had caught the eye of criminals, who tried to force her to sell her body.Suzanne fought back with all her might, only to receive relentless beatings in return, leaving her clothes torn and her body bruised.Overwhelmed by pain, she finally thought of her husband, Nathan Morrison. "Please don't touch me. I can get my husband to give you as much money as you want. Please!" Suzanne sobbed as she refused for the last time.One of the criminals' jobs was to demand ransoms.The leader of the group, Ken, halted his men's attacks. He grabbed a phone and handed it to Suzanne. "Tell your husband to bring 20 million dollars. Anything less th

Chapter 2

Nathan had bravely forged a path through bloodshed to fight off their country's enemies.Ken recalled that Nathan had fought in the Middle Eastern War and had come to be considered a national hero after he had defeated all his enemies.How could the fragile woman before them be his wife?"Don't worry about it. Nathan Morrison is a fearsome man. No idiot would dare to sell his wife. From what I know, he's still single." Unfazed, Ken reassured his men. "I bet her husband just has the same name as him. Keep calling her husband until he brings 20 million dollars."Ken's men kept trying to contact Nathan.Devastated, Suzanne slumped into a corner and closed her eyes in despair.…Some time passed before a deafening boom resounded, shaking the ground.Suzanne shuddered and opened her eyes.The men in the room, who had been playing cards while waiting for the money, were alarmed.Someone from the outside cried anxiously, "We're in trouble. Someone blasted our gate apart!""Blaste

Shaking in fear, Ken shouted threateningly, "Then, I'll take your wife down with me!"Nathan had never been one to succumb to threats, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, the sound of seven gunshots pierced through Suzanne's ears. Her body jolted violently before freezing in shock as her eyes screwed shut. She could feel blood splattering on her cheeks.At that moment, calling herself Nathan's wife seemed bitterly ironic.Nathan was here to save the thousands of victims trapped here, not her. So he wouldn't mind it if he accidentally killed her. Suzanne felt her heart clench in pain. Unable to endure the terror, she collapsed, losing consciousness.…The military headquarters was Norvania's largest weaponry production base and was heavily armed."No!"A nightmare jolted Suzanne awake. Her eyes shot open, and she found herself drenched in sweat.She panted softly and surveyed her surroundings.Her eyes quickly landed on a woman standing by her bedside. Th

Nathan's gaze was frosty and calm. "What do you mean?"Suzanne bravely met his eyes. "Let's get divorced."She had been in love with him for three years. All she had wanted was a pure relationship. Now that their marriage had been tainted, she refused to keep things going like this.Nathan's expression turned grim. Behind him, Cole spoke up, displeased. "Suzanne York. 25 years old. From Phoenicia of Norvania. Has an alcoholic father prone to domestic violence and a mother and brother who are gamblers buried in debt."Suzanne shot Cole an astonished look. Unconcerned, Cole continued, "You dropped out in ninth grade and were scammed by men online before working as an escort in a karaoke bar. "Then, at 20 years old, you married an 80-year-old man and became a widow less than two years later without inheriting anything."Still, Cole had more to say. "You have, at best, had an elementary school education and have achieved nothing since then. You were also involved in prostitution

The air around Nathan buzzed with danger. "Are you threatening me?"Suzanne struggled to breathe, overwhelmed by his dominance. "Please don't force me to do something I don't want to."Nathan narrowed his eyes at her.Her flawless, charming face reminded him of what Sally had looked like as a child.In a daze, he gave her a meaningful smile. "I admit you've done a great job at making your face look like hers as a child. No wonder Grandma likes you so much."Hers as a child?Suzanne wondered who he was referring to.While she was distracted, Nathan calmly replied, "Alright, I agree."With that, he turned around and left with Cole.Suzanne was dumbfounded by his reply. She didn't understand what Nathan had agreed to.Had he agreed to the divorce or to live together as husband and wife?…Night fell, and a gentle breeze swept through the room.Cole brought dinner to Suzanne's room. After she finished eating, Suzanne found a book on military strategies and kept herself enterta

Chapter 6

Nathan asked sternly, "Who are you trying to insult by sleeping on the floor?"Suzanne was enveloped in his masculine scent. She felt like she was about to suffocate.Her mind was in disarray as she stuttered, "I-I just thought that i-it wouldn't be appropriate for us to s-sleep together when you're in love with s-someone else."Nathan raised an eyebrow and smirked. "I have no feelings for you, so even if you were dancing naked in front of me, I wouldn't spare you a second glance, let alone touch you."His words stung the most vulnerable part of her, crushing her.She wanted to say something back in retort but choked up, afraid to reveal her feelings. She could only bite her lip in silence as her eyes grew misty. Nathan was momentarily dazed as he gazed into her beautiful, teary eyes. However, he swiftly laid back on the bed the next second and ordered, "Turn the lights off and sleep."Immediately, the voice-activated system in the room turned off the lights. Suzanne couldn

Chapter 7

The subordinate responded politely, "Yes, sir."Nathan sighed in resignation. He intended to keep his promise, but he couldn't understand what Suzanne meant by a faithful husband.…Suzanne's injuries healed completely after three days.It had also been three days since Nathan had gone to see Sally. Suzanne hadn't so much as caught a glimpse of him after that.Her mood worsened, so she decided to visit the training base to pick up some self-defense skills. Her womanly figure stood out in a place full of men. Not too far away, Sally appeared alongside Special Assistant Lucas Vega.She pouted, displeased. "It's been three days. Why hasn't Nate come back?"Lucas replied, "General Morrison had some important matters to take care of, but he should be back today."Sally's eyes glinted coldly when she saw Suzanne practicing self-defense. "What's she doing here?""Madam—" Lucas started.Sally immediately cut him off. "Pfft, as if she deserves that title. That woman's a scheming b

Chapter 8

The displeasure on Nathan's expression was evident as he demanded, "Are you teaching her or toying with her?"Lucas gulped nervously. "Sir, I was teaching Madam self-defense."Everyone was worried about Lucas. There was no way Nathan didn't know what trick Lucas had been trying to do. Nathan pushed Suzanne aside and said, "Stay away."Suzanne felt her heart fluttering involuntarily. Nathan had never once glanced at her, but his actions showed that he clearly wanted to protect her. She was puzzled, and she had no idea what he wanted to do.Casually, Nathan removed his watch and said, "Let's spar. If you win, you get to stay. Lose, and you leave immediately."Lucas' face drained of all its color. He tried to explain himself, saying, "General, t-there's no way I can beat you. I-I was just teaching Madam some self-defense. Please don't fire me, sir."Nathan handed his watch to Suzanne, unaffected by Lucas' pleas.Lucas was flustered by Nathan's indifference and began begging S

Chapter 9

Suzanne raised a hand to stop Lucas from speaking further. "That's enough. You don't need to leave."She wasn't petty enough to make someone lose a job they loved over such a small matter.Thrilled, Lucas thanked her gratefully. "Thank you so much, Madam. I truly appreciate it. I'm at your service from now on, no matter what you need me to do."Uncomfortable, Suzanne handed him Nathan's watch. "There's no need to be so dramatic. Just help me return this to Nathan.""Sure." Lucas took the watch from her.Suzanne asked, "Are there any train stations or airports nearby?"Lucas was dismayed. "Are you going to leave?"Suzanne forced a bitter smile and nodded. She couldn't stand watching Nathan's affection for another woman any longer. After all, she wasn't a masochist.She planned to explain everything to Nathan's grandmother, Vera Cross, and end this marriage.After a moment's hesitation, Lucas said, "Let me take you there tomorrow, Madam. It's a six-hour drive to Phoenicia.""

Chapter 10

People were running out of Lab Five's building, covering their noses. Many of the affected individuals were vomiting, while others lay on the ground feeling nauseous. In the midst of the chaos, the military headquarter's medical staff rushed over to provide care.Suzanne was panting by the time she arrived at the scene. She looked around anxiously, worried about Nathan's safety. However, she saw him swiftly leaving the building with Sally in his arms and placing her on a stretcher.How ironic.Suzanne was worried about Nathan, while he was only worried about Sally. Nathan left Sally with the doctors and turned around to continue rescuing others. Sally reached out to grab Nathan's arm and cried, "Don't go, Nate. I feel sick …""Shh," Nathan comforted gently. "It's alright. There are doctors here."Sally shook her head as tears streamed down her face. She sobbed, "Don't go, Nate. I feel like I'm about to die."Right then, Cole reported, "General, everyone inside the buildin
