Chapter 1

I walked out of the morgue, suddenly recalling that Aaron Tomlinson had not touched me intimately for three whole years.The last time we did the deed, he'd just entered my body when he uttered beneath his breath, "So loose."He had spoken softly, but I still heard him. And from that day onward, Aaron never laid a finger on me again. I didn't ask him for it either.Although I wanted nothing more than to ravage his extremely fit six-pack body and handsome face that rivalled any other celebrity, I still held myself back.Once the company started turning a profit, I tried everything I could to make myself look as pretty as possible. However, that still didn't attract Aaron's attention because he still refused to touch me sexually.As it turned out, he'd just been releasing his pent-up sexual frustration with someone else.I probably wouldn't even have been this angry if he'd reconciled with his ex-girlfriend, but he actually slept with my younger cousin, Rachel Sanders, of all peo

I waited close to three hours for the rain to stop. When it finally did, I drove home at the speed of a snail.By the time I reached home, it was close to 3:00 am.Aaron was fast asleep in the living room, hugging a huge plush toy Rachel gave him last year.I finally lost my temper and shook him awake.Aaron woke up and instantly started shouting at me."What the hell? Why did you wake me up so late at night?"I took a deep breath and stared at his handsome face. Still, I decided to speak my thoughts with determination."Aaron, let's get a divorce."He still looked sleepy before I spoke, but now, he stared at me with wide eyes and in disbelief, as if he'd just thought of something. He continued staring at me with some sort of guilt in his eyes."You found out, didn't you, Katrina? Fine. I'll cut all ties with her."He hurriedly went to grab his phone and started tapping on some buttons, blacklisting Rachel's number. Then, he carefully looked up at me."Kat, I've already blac

I looked at Aaron. I couldn't believe that he just gaslighted me.In that case, he really wasn't the pure, kind-hearted, and multi-talented Aaron Tomlinson that I used to know anymore.Who told him that I didn't deserve his love just because I loved money?It was true that I loved money, but I had all the means to earn it by myself. My parents hadn't invested tons of money into my education for more than 20 years for nothing.I'd worked so hard for years. It couldn't possibly be for covering up my partner's dirty, filthy undoing, could it?The next morning, everyone looked at me weirdly at the company. My assistant, Megan Walters, pulled me aside and said, "Ms. Sanders, I think it's best if you don't hurry into your office for now."I could kind of guess what happened. So, instead of heeding her advice, I marched toward my office in a haste.When I reached the entrance, I saw that Aaron was cuddling Rachel in his lap while feeding her a steaming plate of spaghetti.Aaron was ev

As soon as I'd gotten off the plane, I saw that Aaron called me dozens of times. When he called me again, I planned to hang up on him, but I accidentally answered the call because the weather was too cold.Aaron's anxious voice was heard."Kat, where are you? Are you really mad? Read your WhatsApp. I've just sent you a photo. I ordered 99 roses for you."I know that it had been a humiliating thing for you, so I felt remorseful as soon as I was done. I've already chased Rachel out and ordered the roses for you. That should fix the humiliation problem for you at the company. Right?"Everyone at the company had already witnessed the joke with their own eyes. What was the whole point of doing such an outlandish thing anymore?I immediately hung up on him. Then, I went to a warmer place, composed a long message, and sent it to the company's main WhatsApp group."I, Katrina Sanders, have already sold off all of my shares and I am no longer your boss. Before leaving this group, I'd just

I followed the police to the station.As soon as I arrived, I spotted Aaron and Rachel standing at the entrance. Rachel suddenly rushed up to me and slapped me hard on the face.I couldn't react in time, so I didn't manage to avoid it.The police immediately pulled Rachel away. She continued screaming at me, "Katrina, it's fine if you did this to me because I deserved it, but how could you ruin Aaron's dreams and steal his money?"I glanced at the hand she used to slap me. It was still bandaged up. I figured that this must be the wrist that she supposedly slit. She was still pretty strong, no?Aaron pulled Rachel into his arms. He looked at her fondly and pitifully. However, when he looked up at me, his eyes were full of disappointment."Katrina Sanders, you've thoroughly disappointed me. Even if we weren't married anymore, I would still have wished the best for you. I didn't even mind giving you the money."I was the one who let you down first. You ruined my dream, but it's fin

Chapter 6

In the interrogation room, the police questioned me repeatedly whether I'd pushed Rachel to the ground. It was because they'd received news from the hospital that Rachel had miscarried.I just kept repeating my answer, again and again, as I watched the hours tick by on the clock on the wall. It was well over an hour, and I was getting very anxious. I was worried sick about Mom's condition.Finally, two hours later, the police looked at the security footage frame by frame and noticed that Rachel had been the one who grabbed my hand and pushed herself in the stomach.When I finally left the police station, I immediately called Mom, but it was Aaron's driver who picked up instead.He told me that Aaron gave him 50,000 dollars to see if my mother needed help with anything.Seeing that Aaron probably wasn't as cold-hearted as Rachel was, I sent him the frame-by-frame video of Rachel pushing me to the ground.While waiting for my flight, my good friend also sent me information on Carso

Chapter 7

I couldn't be bothered with Aaron anymore. I just let Mom's relatives keep him out. He was allowed to step foot inside the funeral parlor.After the funeral, I walked out of the crematorium with Mom's ashes.I saw a figure rushing toward me. Upon closer look, I noticed that it was Rachel.Knowing what she'd done to me and what she was capable of, I naturally had my guard up against her. Just as she was about to fling herself at me, I sidestepped neatly and avoided her.Rachel had been running too quickly and couldn't stop in time. She ended up tripping herself. She also wasn't able to withdraw the knife she'd just drawn, and the blade cut her deeply on the face.At once, Rachel's face began to bleed. She was in so much pain that she screamed for her parents.Uncle Patrick walked up to her, but he didn't offer to help her up. Instead, he looked at her coldly and said, "I do not have a daughter like you. It's good that your face is ruined now—you'd only use it for bad things anyway

Chapter 8

I laughed. I bet Aaron had already forgotten just how much I used to love him. I loved him and longed for him so much I could have carved his name into my bones if that was possible. He was well aware of it, but he chose not to acknowledge it. He even refused to lay a finger on me.Aaron seemed to have also remembered this. He looked at me with embarrassment and let out a self-mocking chuckle after stepping back."I deserved it. I'm sorry, Katrina."I couldn't be bothered with him anymore and went back into my rented apartment.Half a year later, I finally came to terms with Mom's death. I left with what money I had and opened up a travel company in Nevington.Mom used to live here. I used to tell her that I would come home and start a travel business here once she and Dad had both retired.But now, I was the only one left.Two weeks after I started the company, Aaron opened up a café right next to me. It was the brand of coffee that I liked the most.However, he wasn't the
