Chapter 1

"Don't touch me! Who even are you? Never seen a man before? Throwing yourself at me like that!" Lawrence Henwood snapped, shoving me away with a look of disdain.I stumbled and nearly fell."Lawrence, what's wrong with you? It's me, your wife—Nadine Coolidge," I replied, my voice trembling.I stared, confused, at my husband, who lay in the hospital bed."Wife? I don't know you at all! The first person I saw when I woke up was Sophie. If I'm married to anyone, it's her—not you!" Lawrence exclaimed, pulling Sophie into his arms and holding her tightly.The love shining in his eyes pierced my heart.The man who had once promised to love me had forgotten me—and now, he wanted to marry another woman?"Nadine, Mr. Henwood accidentally hit his head. The doctor said he has amnesia and doesn't remember anything—except me," Sophie said, lowering her head shyly.However, the smugness in her eyes was impossible to miss.Fighting back the ache in my chest, I spoke coldly. "It's just tempor

I worked tirelessly, using every resource at my disposal to find the best brain specialists for Lawrence.The diagnoses were remarkably consistent: temporary amnesia, and his injuries were not severe.With time, he would recover. As for how long that would take, it depended on the individual.Meanwhile, Lawrence and Sophie were inseparable, like conjoined twins."Nadine, stop wasting your energy. Have some self-respect. I've already told you I don't love you anymore. Just come to the courthouse and finalize the divorce," Lawrence said, cold and detached, as if he were an outsider.I couldn't believe the man who had once treasured me so deeply could forget me so completely."Lawrence, your memory is just confused. Maybe you're mistaking Sophie for me. Once you remember—" I tried to say."I won't remember! Even if I do, I still wouldn't love a woman like you. Let it go and do something good for once—help Sophie fulfill her wish," Lawrence interrupted."Nadine, this is really unne

When I returned to the ward, I found it empty.I asked the staff, and they told me that Lawrence had already been discharged.I called his phone.At first, no one answered. Then it went straight to voicemail. After that, it was turned off.Did he really despise me this much?The same man who used to stay up all night waiting for just one message from me now avoided me like the plague.With no way to reach him, I started searching everywhere I could think of.I visited his office first, but they said he hadn't been back.I went home—he wasn't there either.I even contacted all his friends and colleagues, but no one had seen him.Running out of options, I pulled some strings and used my resources to track him down. No hotel stays, no shopping records—nothing.Then a thought hit me. There was one place he might be.…The entire drive there, I prayed over and over, "Please, not there. Anywhere but there."When I saw his Rolls-Royce parked outside the building, my heart sank.

I chuckled self-deprecatingly and walked away, numb to the chorus of sounds behind me.It didn't seem so bad to spend ten years of my life only to see him for who he truly was.We had met during our first year of university.Lawrence was dazzling in the freshman orientation crowd—someone you couldn't take your eyes off. His clean, fair skin, perfect features, and 6'1" frame with broad shoulders and long legs made him the total package. Girls flocked to him, and I wasn't immune.Our eyes met once, and something sparked between us.He approached me and offered to carry my bags. From then on, he always seemed to be around. He was consistently gentlemanly and gracious.We exchanged numbers, and he soon confessed his feelings.What sealed the deal for me was the classic "saving the damsel in distress" moment.One night, I was walking through a dark alley when I realized I was being followed. By the time I tried to escape, it was too late. The men cornered me, their intentions clear

As soon as I got home, I received a call from Lawrence."Nadine, are you done? I've already forgotten about you. Let's stop torturing each other, alright?" he asked."Okay," I answered without hesitation."What did you just say?" Lawrence asked, disbelief evident in his voice."I agree to the divorce. You can have your lawyer draft the divorce papers as soon as possible," I replied.There was a pause on the other end of the line before he asked, "Why did you suddenly agree?"For some reason, Lawrence sounded a bit disappointed.I couldn't help but scoff. "Lawrence, you've been the one pushing for this divorce. Why are you acting surprised now?"You should hurry and finalize the papers before I change my mind. Otherwise, I can't promise what I might do next."Before he could respond, I hung up.…By 8:00 a.m. the next morning, Lawrence showed up with the papers in hand.He couldn't wait, could he?"Take a look. If everything seems fine, just sign it," he said flatly.When

The next day, we finalized our divorce.Sophie arrived, dressed in her designer best—a Chanel suit, an expensive watch, and a diamond necklace.The entire outfit likely cost over 100,000 dollars, the most a newly minted graduate like her could have. It was clear that Lawrence had spared no expense on her."Nadine, you absolutely must come to our wedding," Sophie said, her voice dripping with provocation.I smiled. "Don't worry. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I'll even bring you a special gift.""There's no need to put on a brave face, Nadine," she said mockingly. "I know you must be devastated. But love can't be forced. Take care of yourself."I couldn't be bothered to argue further. I simply got in my car and drove off.…Back home, I quickly packed my belongings and listed both of our marital homes for sale. The thought of what had happened there made me feel sick.As for Lawrence's things, I told him he could come and collect them if he wished. Whether he did or not was

On the day of the wedding, I attended as promised, dressed to perfection.The lavish, romantic decorations tugged at something deep in my heart. I couldn't help but recall our own wedding.I remembered the night before—how Lawrence had been so excited he couldn't sleep.He woke up early the next day, meticulously preparing himself. He paid attention to every detail, even down to the last strand of his hair."This is the most important and happiest day of my life," he had said. "I need to show up looking my absolute best."When we exchanged rings, he held me tightly, crying uncontrollably. "Honey, I finally married you. We finally have a home together."Back then, his eyes were filled with pure love.Now... the difference between love and indifference was painfully stark.Exhaling deeply, I pushed the sadness away. What was gone was gone—let the wind carry it.The ceremony began.Sophie walked in, dressed in a custom designer wedding gown, arm-in-arm with the dashing Lawrence.

Sophie crawled to Lawrence's feet, clutching his pants and begging, "Lawrence, my stomach hurts so much... Please... save my baby."Lawrence kicked her away. "Do you think I'm a fool? You destroyed my family, ruined my reputation, and turned me into a laughingstock in our circle. And now you want my help? How dare you?!"He snapped, "I wish I could kill you! Turning a blind eye is already the greatest mercy I can offer. Deal with it yourself!""Hah, Lawrence, you self-righteous jerk. Do you really think you're any better than me? You couldn't resist temptation, got bored of your wife, and even faked amnesia to abandon her. If you had been firm and loyal, could I have had any chance to seduce you?" Sophie retorted.The facade was gone, and Lawrence was furious."Shut your mouth!" he shouted at Sophie, then turned to me. "Nadine, I regret it... I shouldn't have—"I was startled to hear my name amidst the drama.I quickly cut him off, "There's no such thing as regret. And she's rig

"You're insane!" Lawrence roared."Insane? Reality drove me insane! Why is life so unfair? Some people are born into wealth, while I was born into poverty and abuse."From the moment I was born, I was a 'worthless girl'—eating scraps, doing the hardest work, and getting beaten by my parents just for existing. My only purpose, in their eyes, was to serve my younger brother," Sophie retorted bitterly."When they needed money for his wedding, they were ready to sell me to a 60-year-old bachelor for a bride price. Even letting me go to school was just a way to fetch a higher price."If they couldn't pay for his wedding, I'd have been sold to that old man. What choice did I have? Selling myself was the quickest way to survive."She continued, her voice thick with grief. "And guess what? The richer the client, the sicker and more perverted they were."When I found out I was infected, I had an epiphany. My life was already ruined. If I could take some of you down with me, it'd be worth

Chapter 10

Due to the wedding scandal, the Henwood Group's stock price began to plummet.This was precisely why I had sold my shares in advance.Former partners quickly canceled their contracts, and without new projects, the company teetered on the brink of bankruptcy.My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing. It was Lawrence."Nadine, I want to transfer the Henwood Group to you. After all, it represents years of our hard work," he said."There's no need. A company like the Henwood Group, now rotten to its core, doesn't deserve to exist," I replied."Nadine, for the sake of what we once had, please save it. I can't bear to see it fall apart under my leadership. I promise to leave it entirely and never return," Lawrence pleaded."If that's the case, sell me your shares at market price. Afterward, the Henwood Group will have nothing to do with you," I proposed.He agreed, "Alright... I'm sorry."…I bought the Henwood Group at a low price and merged it into Coolidge C
