Seeing the terrible wound on my son's forehead, I chose to ignore my heartache from Niall's words, calling him again and again.I could live with Niall not loving me, but my son, Cyrus, was my bottom line. I brought him into this world, so I had to take responsibility for him."She's so desperate to reach you," said Chelsea. "Maybe something really did happen? You should probably answer the call!"Her words had Niall picking up my call immediately."Spew any more lies about my son getting into an accident, I'm divorcing you immediately!" he warned right off the bat.He knew how much I loved him. In the past, whenever we had differences in opinion, I would compromise unconditionally the instant he mentioned divorce.I would not cave this time, though. This was our son we were talking about!"I'm telling the truth," I told him. "I'm at your hospital with our son right now! All you have to do is come over and have a look. That'd tell you whether I'm lying or not. Would you dare to

I did not own a car, and umbrellas were practically useless in such heavy rain, so Cyrus and I ended up having to brave the rain.Just as I got him to the kindergarten, Niall happened to speed by in his car, splashing muddy water all over the two of us.It was Lulu Blanc who got out of his car.I could still recall how lonely my son looked back then."Didn't you say that Daddy had something else to deal with, Mommy?" he asked. "Why is he sending another girl to school?"I rushed forward to interrogate Niall, but he shoved me unceremoniously to the ground."If Lulu catches a cold from being out in the rain, nothing you do will be enough to compensate for it!" he snapped frostily.Cyrus ran over to stand in front of me, yelling, "Bad Daddy! You're not allowed to push Mommy!"However, Niall did not care whether his son caught a cold or came down with a fever. He instead concentrated on embracing Lulu, ensuring not a single raindrop touched her.He did not even spare a glance for

Niall had threatened me with divorce multiple times in the past, but as someone who grew up in a single-parent family, I understood a child's desire for fatherly love.It wasn't until now that I realized that the lack of a father figure hardly made a difference.A terrible family environment was far more crippling.Instead of hoping that Niall would come around, it would be better for me to come to terms with reality as early as possible and give up on him entirely.I originally thought that Niall would happily agree to the divorce.Unexpectedly, after being momentarily stunned, he firmly refused. "Divorce? Don't even think about it!" he declared.I glared furiously at him. "What right do you have to say that? I insist on this divorce!"Who do you think you are? I've been a victim of this marriage from beginning to end. All I want right now is to leave, and you're saying I can't?"Niall grabbed me by the collar of my blouse, looking down at me cruelly. "If it hadn't been for yo

I temporarily found a hotel for Cyrus and me to stay in. My phone was filled with missed calls from Niall.I did not answer a single call, nor did I reply to any of his texts. I did not understand where he found the perseverance to continue calling me.In the end, I simply blocked his number altogether.I had not originally wanted to be so heartless, considering that he was still Cyrus' father. I had thought that perhaps, one fine day, after I got over what happened between us, I would let him see Cyrus.However, I had now changed my mind. How could such a scumbag deserve to see my son?It would be terrible if he led my sweet baby astray.Chelsea handed the divorce agreement to Niall with tears in her eyes, saying, "She said that she wanted to divorce you and then just left after leaving this divorce agreement behind."I don't know where she went with the child. I was really afraid that something would happen to them this late at night, so I tried my best to stop them, but she p

Niall met me several more times in the name of business after that. However, other than business-related matters, there was nothing else I could say to him.Back when I used to like him, I had plenty to tell him, but he had not wanted to hear a word of it.On the contrary, now that he wanted to speak to me, there was nothing that I wished to share with him.Cyrus gradually got his life here on track.Niall continued to refuse the divorce. It turned out that Chelsea was not actually that important to him.When it came to his core interests, even his first love had to take a backseat.The next time I encountered Niall, I expected it to be in court, during my divorce petition against him, not in a television news report.Niall killed Chelsea and her daughter?Was she not his first love?However, the man on the news was clearly Niall Luther. I would recognize him—even if he were nothing but ash.I did not expect to receive a letter from Chelsea after that."By the time you read
