Chapter 1

Andy laughed over the phone like a child. Feeling flustered, I hung up abruptly.I returned to the home I shared with Mark in a cab.I quickly packed up all my belongings and arranged for a moving service. Just as I was about to leave, Mark walked through the door.His eyes swept over the half-empty living room. He frowned slightly and handed me a black credit card from his pocket."Are you downsizing? Take this card and buy whatever you like," he said, his tone lighthearted.Mark seemed to be in a good mood.I stepped forward and lightly touched the corner of his mouth. His smile made me feel a wave of discomfort, almost physically so."You seem happy," I asked, pretending not to know.Mark lifted me off the ground and spun me around. Then, he kissed my forehead and held me tightly in his arms."Claire, I got a promotion," he said, his voice trembling with excitement.My heart felt like it had been plunged into an icy abyss. Tears began streaming down my face before I could

"Hello, Ms. Shelby. I am Mark's wife. I've been studying abroad for the past three years, and now I'm back!"Sharon Lindsey reached out with her hand toward me.Though her words seemed friendly, they were full of subtle claims to ownership.I had been nothing more than a temporary replacement for Sharon during those three years. Sharon was back, and I could be discarded then."Ms. Shelby, are you planning on leaving? If so, that would be perfect because I was considering moving in tonight."Sharon pretended not to notice when she accidentally bumped into my suitcase.A pile of photos and small trinkets spilled out of the suitcase.Sharon picked up a small plain ring and turned to Mark."Isn't this the ring you made for me, Mark? I thought it was too simple, so you made me another one."She smiled as she spoke.She wore a gold ring on her right hand, which was much more intricate than mine.That ring had been given to me by Mark on our first anniversary. I had kept it careful

I grabbed my suitcase and left the house without looking back. The pain from the injury I got earlier stung, but no one cared.I saw Andy's car parked nearby by the roadside as I left the house. He rushed over and checked in with me when he saw my tear-streaked face.I looked at him with a pout, feeling wholly wronged. He immediately noticed something was off where Mark did not."Are you hurt? Let me take you to the hospital," Andy said. He gently picked me up and carefully placed me in the passenger seat.Once the doctor had cleaned and bandaged my wound, he finally relaxed."Who hurt you, Claire? Let me take care of them!" He looked at the bruise on my back, his eyes filled with pain. He sounded so emotional, almost on the verge of tears, as though he wanted to take care of Mark for me personally.I had never seen that look on Mark. I finally realized who truly cared about me."Andy, do you really want to marry me?" I asked with uncertainty.Andy knew about the three years I had spen

Chapter 4

I had seen a photo on Sharon's desk—a birthday picture of her and Mark. Every year on his birthday, he would leave and tell me it was his one day to escape and clear his mind. I would wait until after 6 a.m. the next day to send him a birthday message.I finally realized it was not about clearing his mind but about spending his birthday with the person he wanted to be with.I went back to Andy's place with my stuff. He excitedly asked what kind of wedding dress I wanted.As I lay on the bed, I suddenly remembered a moment back when I was in love with Mark. I had asked him if he would marry me and whether I should get my wedding dress custom-made in advance. Mark promised to marry me after his company had stabilized. I had yet to receive his proposal even after three years, and Sharon had even returned."I'll go with whatever you like," I replied impatiently, rubbing my aching eyes.I had been crying so much lately that my eyes were sore and dry, making it hard to bear."Okay, I'll take

I was not aware that Mark and I shared the same wedding day."Keep an eye on Claire today. She's been ignoring me for days because she's angry with Sharon. I'm afraid she might try to ruin the wedding," Mark told his friend, asking him to guard the door.However, his friend looked at him with a complicated expression and replied, "But Claire and Andy are getting married today, too!"Mark's bright smile froze on his face. He turned pale and looked around, not seeing me.He asked in disbelief, "Say that again. Claire is getting married today?"Mark shouted at his friend hysterically, over and over again."How could this have happened? Claire loves me. Why would she marry someone else?"I explained everything to her and even prepared another house for her. How did she end up getting married?"Mark was consumed with thoughts of all the moments we had shared, and his heart nearly skipped a beat."I have to find Claire!"Mark ripped the flower off his chest and looked apologetically at Sharo

After everyone left, Andy carried me in his arms and went to the second floor."You're mine forever once you get in my bed!" Andy said with a slightly pleading tone as he gripped my clothes tightly.I wrapped both arms around his neck and kissed his cheek."I'm yours now. Don't kick me out!"I lightly brushed his nose and let my lips deliberately graze his.The atmosphere in the room grew heated as Andy gently placed me on the bed. He kissed me from top to bottom as if I were a rare treasure.After making sure I was okay with it, we made love.The next morning, I woke up with my entire body sore."Time to wake up. I'm taking you on our honeymoon!"Andy had already arranged everything. He was only waiting for me to wake up so we could leave.After helping me get dressed, we boarded a plane.The ocean in Hawaii was warm, and it was my favorite place.I had repeatedly mentioned to Mark that I wanted to see the sunrise at the beach with him.However, Mark always refused me. He

Mark forced a smile, not wanting to lose in front of Andy."Andy, you don't really know Claire, do you? She doesn't like beef jerky at all!"Mark noticed the beef jerky Andy had packed for me for breakfast."Mark, are you stupid or something?"Andy almost laughed at Mark's words.The truth was, it was Mark who never really understood me. When two people were in love, the one who loved more tended to adjust to the other's preferences.I used to love snacking on things like beef jerky and pickled eggs. However, Mark felt disgusted whenever I ate them.To please him, I stopped eating those snacks that I had loved since I was a child.He never considered my preferences; he would not know what I liked.Mark realized he had said something wrong when he saw my thoughtful expression. He tried to apologize, but I walked away without saying anything.I completely ignored Mark during our honeymoon in Hawaii. He tried to catch my attention, but he turned out to be a topic for gossip amon

Chapter 8

After that incident, Mark's reputation started to decline.His company's share price continued to plummet, eventually hitting rock bottom.Sharon had expected to live a comfortable life after returning to the country, but instead, Mark's company continued to go downhill. She wanted to divorce him.Mark, angry that she had forced me away, locked her in the basement of their house.It was an open secret in our social circle, though I did not expect Mark to have the guts to lock me away as well.I had once used the house for storage, and I never imagined I would be trapped there one day.Mark had gone mad, and his mind was twisted after I publicly humiliated him."Claire, you're just angry because of her, aren't you?" he asked."I'll take care of her for you, okay?"Mark stabbed a sharp fruit knife into Sharon's thigh.I watched in horror as the blood gushed out and screamed."Don't worry, Claire. I'm here. I'll protect you!"Mark rushed over to me, blood dripping all over, ho

When I woke up again, Andy was sitting beside me."Claire, you're pregnant! I'm going to be a dad!"Andy carefully placed his hand on my stomach and looked at me with a joyful expression.I felt a little anxious about it, especially since Mark had just kidnapped me."Don't worry. The police have already taken Mark in custody," Andy said softly to reassure me.When Andy and his team found me the previous day, Mark was already out of his mind. He had butchered Sharon, mumbling about adding more meat for me.The kitchen was covered in blood, and Sharon's body had been hacked into pieces. The police saw everything, so there was no way Mark could deny it.As a result, Mark was arrested and sentenced to life in prison.Thinking that he would never get out made me feel a bit better. Otherwise, it would have been like living with a ticking time bomb.Of course, even though he was gone, his company remained. I needed to cut off his financial resources so that he could not harm me with

Chapter 10

"I treated you well, didn't I? Why did you leave me for Andy?"Mark dragged me into the bedroom.That was once the place where I had lived for three years, and everything looked the same as when I had left.Even the photo of us from when we went out together was still on the table.Mark stared at the smiling faces in the photo and said, "We had some good times, didn't we? I also apologized to you. Why did you leave me?"Suddenly, he grabbed my neck, forcing me to look at the photo.I turned my head away stubbornly, not wanting to look at anything related to him.Even the mention of his name disgusted me.Mark's expression grew dazed as I ignored him. He then turned violent.I protected my stomach out of instinct."What are you doing?"Are you pregnant? Is it Andy's?"Mark quickly noticed me covering my stomach and tried to touch it.I bit his hand hard.He stepped back in pain, and his expression darkened as he glared at my stomach without saying a word."Get rid of the
