Chapter 1

When the ninety-ninth specialist firmly told me I could never conceive, my husband did not hesitate to abandon me, storming off in anger.I chased him to his office, only to hear rhythmic and intimate sounds from inside.“Emily, have my child. Be my wife, will you?”The hand I had raised to knock fell limply at my side, powerless, as his words echoed in my ears.When I returned home, I took down all our wedding photos and noticed my husband’s long-unused diary.Filled with anger and frustration, I picked up a pen and scrawled five furious words across the page.[Ryan Lane, we are done!]A sentence appeared below my writing out of nowhere. [Who are you? Why are you scribbling in my diary?]Overcome with emotion, I forgot my fear and replied: [I’m Anna White. It’s because you don’t love her.]…One by one, the words jumped off the page: [You’re Anna White?][No way. Who are you really?][How can you appear in my diary?]Three questions in rapid succession.I was so frighten

Chapter 2

Before I could come to my senses, another line quickly appeared in the diary: [If you really are Anna, tell me, which position was I standing in the graduation photo?]I replied instantly: [You were standing behind Emily.]The diary fell silent again.After waiting for a minute without a response, I finally took up my pen and wrote, each stroke heavy and deliberate:[Ryan, please walk away from my life.][Why? If you really are Anna, don't you know that I love you!?]The last question mark was written with such force that it tore through the paper.[Love? Just because of your love, the day after the graduation photo was taken, I was stabbed in the abdomen by someone Emily sent, damaging my womb and making it impossible for me to have children!][And now, the thirty-year-old you have let her carry your child.]With every word I wrote, the painful memories became clearer. I tried everything to forget about that incident. Still, I woke up from this tormenting memory, unable to

Chapter 3

The scar that had followed me for thirteen years was suddenly gone. Tears welled up in my eyes.I opened the diary again and saw a new line of writing, but this time, the words were slanted and shaky, as though they were written by someone exhausted and weak.[Anna, I saved you.]Once my emotions calmed, I replied calmly: [That's what you should have done.]If it were not for his love…If it were not for that love, he would betray in the future…How could I have ended up being found by Emily and lost the most important thing to a woman?The thirty-year-old Ryan had a child with the very person who had hurt me, and once again, he hurt me.The words in the diary wavered, unclear, as though the writer was struggling.[Anna, is there anything else I can do for you?]It was not until the seventeen-year-old Ryan wrote the final question mark that I replied: [I already told you. Leave me alone.][Disappear for good, and don't use your love now as a weapon to screw me over later.]

Chapter 4

I arrived at the café to find Ryan feeding Emily an egg tart.She glanced at me with a provocative smile in her eyes. "Anna, look at Ryan. He insists on feeding me.""I originally planned to come find you, but since I'm pregnant and can't move around easily, Ryan asked you to come instead.""Oh, sorry, I forgot you've never been pregnant, so you probably don't understand how hard it is."If it were before, I would have been upset and caused a scene.Now, I did not even pay any attention to her words.I turned to Ryan and asked him calmly, "What's going on?"Ryan fed Emily the last bite of the egg tart and gently wiped her mouth. His eyes were full of affection.Then, he gazed at me with a cold expression and said, "Anna, let's get a divorce.""Emily's baby is about to be born. As the father, I can't let people gossip about him."He sneered. "Anyway, you can't…"Before he could finish, it seemed like something struck Ryan's mind, and he suddenly pressed his forehead, hissing

Chapter 5

"You... you are…"As the thirty-year-old Ryan looked at the person in front of him, who looked almost identical to him but with a much more youthful face, it was as though he had been struck by lightning. He stood frozen, unable to move. His hand trembled as he failed to hold onto the knife.The steak knife clattered to the ground with a sharp sound.He staggered, collapsing into the chair. His face drained of color as he struggled to comprehend what he was seeing.At that moment, the seventeen-year-old Ryan turned around to look at me and gave me a faint smile. "Anna, I told you I'd protect you…"Before the words even finished leaving his lips, his figure vanished into thin air like smoke.I stood there, frozen in disbelief. It was all so surreal.Only Emily screamed in terror, "Ryan, your hand... why is there a scar on your palm?"The thirty-year-old Ryan came back to his senses when he heard her and looked down at his hand.He froze for a moment. His pupils narrowed to pinp

Chapter 6

I tugged hard, trying to pull the suitcase from him.However, his strength was overwhelming, and no matter how much I struggled, I could not move it.So, I gave up and dropped the suitcase, walking out on my own.Ryan stepped forward, grabbing my arm and sternly demanding, "Where do you think you're going?""Ryan!"I yelled at him, shaking his hand off with force. I glared at him with intense anger. "I've done what you wanted, I've divorced you. From now on, you and Emily can live happily together, and no one will stand in your way.""What more do you want from me?"A trace of guilt flashed across Ryan's eyes, and his once formidable presence weakened.He looked up. His gaze softened slightly. "Anna, can we sit down and talk this through calmly?""I'm sorry, I don't have time!"Then, I turned around and walked away.Even without my suitcase, I was determined to leave this disgusting, painful home behind.Ryan caught up to me and grabbed my arm.I fought back with all my st

Chapter 7

I deleted all of Ryan's contact information and found a rental apartment. I had not worked a single day since I married him. Now, trying to find a job was no easy task for me.Luckily, my bestie owned a company and offered me a relaxed position. “Anna, now that you’re here, just focus on work.”“If anyone bullies you, let me know, and I'll take care of it for you.”Then, she handed me a cup of hot coffee. Her smile was incredibly soothing.“Thank you.”She let out a chuckle. “Do we really need to be so formal with each other?"I thought my days would be peaceful from then on, but the next day, Emily came to my bestie's company.“Anna White, you troublemaker, give me my son back!”Emily was disheveled, pale, looking like a madwoman. She charged at me, hitting me with her purse.I was caught off guard and I fell to the ground.She showed no mercy, mounting me and continuing to strike me with her purse.None of their colleagues intervened.In the end, my bestie rushed over,

Chapter 8

Emily thrashed in the grip of the bodyguards. Her voice was hoarse with rage. "Ryan, you can't do this to me! You can't!""It was you who came to me all those years ago, claiming that Anna couldn't bear children, that marrying her was your greatest mistake. You said that as long as I gave you a child, you'd marry me. You lied to me with your sweet words!""Ryan, I hate you! I hate you with every fiber of my being!"Her confession, a damning truth, hit like a thunderclap, and Ryan's expression darkened, transforming it into something sharp and cruel. He snapped, "Shut her up!"One of the bodyguards obeyed immediately, clamping his hand over Emily's mouth. At the same time, the other lifted her by the legs, hauling her away.Her voice, once wild with rage, faded into silence. Ryan stood there. The look on his face was a strange mix of guilt and frustration. "Anna, don't listen to her. She's trying to tear us apart. She's just making things up to destroy what we have.""I've sent he
