Chapter 1

A week after I was discharged from the hospital, my husband Kyron finally returned home.He looked carefree and smug, but beneath that, he seemed guilty.I remained calm as I portioned the medications the doctors had prescribed. I did not press him about his disappearance."Courtney, I told you about opening a new branch before. It's finally happening!" he exclaimed, acting as if nothing had happened."Trust me, things will get better. I didn't contact you because I was busy with this matter. You won't hold it against me, will you?"I couldn't even muster a fake smile. I moved my lips but nothing came out.This wasn't the first time Kyron had acted this way. He would manage excuses that sounded reasonable to shut me down each time.Seeing my lack of reaction, he came over to hug me. I stood up and avoided him.I said softly, "I'm not mad, but please don't touch me."Kyron's hands hovered mid-air, he was seemingly unable to believe what was happening. He chuckled. "Courtney,

The lawyer was surprised by my decision and tried to persuade me."Mrs. Stone, are you sure? Have you thought this through? Divorce means a complete separation from your husband."I nodded but when I realized he couldn't see me, I gritted my teeth and replied, "Yes. I've thought it through. Please start the proceedings."When I married Kyron, my whole family opposed it. He wasn't from a respected family background, and I was from a wealthy family.No one thought we were a good match.It wasn't until my dad forced him to sign a prenuptial agreement that he agreed to let us get married.I used to joke that he was old-fashioned, saying that Kyron and I would grow old together. Who would have thought it would end like this?I was the one who went after Kyron. Back in college, I had guys chasing me left and right, but I would shoo them away.Kyron never approached me, nor did he flatter me because of my social status.I found out later that it was because Fiona also attended our sc

Kyron left not long after. I washed up and laid down. The doctor had advised me to rest more.Just as I was about to fall asleep, I received a call from him.The phone picked up the sound of a purring engine. I had bought that convertible sports car for him."Sorry, Courtney. The issue is quite complicated. I won't be back tonight. You don't need to wait for me. Go to sleep."I know I've neglected you lately. I'll make it up to you later. We are, after all, a couple who vowed to share joys and sorrows," he added.I hadn't even spoken before he hung up.I was wide awake now.Kyron had used the same excuses countless times, be it company issues, client invitations, or major events.I let out a cold laugh."Forget being a couple. I've had enough of this suffering," I muttered as I stared at the darkened screen.Vows only matter when they're made. After that, they mean nothing.The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed and felt relieved. He hadn't come home, just as I expect

Chapter 4

Kyron came home that night unexpectedly.I had prepared a whole table of dishes. When Kyron entered, he thought I had done it for him."Courtney, you're pregnant. How could you exert yourself like this? You didn't need to do all this," he said as he reached to embrace me.I turned away to avoid him as I looked at my hands. At one point, I had dreamed of achieving great things with these hands.Now, I was stuck at home, cooking and managing the household. And until now, he still didn't know that my baby was gone.As I lowered my head, tears fell and I quickly wiped them away.When I turned back, I saw Kyron had already started eating.At that moment, I wanted to flip the table. None of this was worth it."Courtney, you grew up with everything, and yet you can cook so well," he said. "I'm lucky to have married you.""By the way, our wedding anniversary is coming up soon. Do you want to have a big celebration or just one with the two of us?"As Kyron said this, it reminded me of

Chapter 5

I sat alone, feeling conspicuous compared to the couples around me.I remembered how, over the years, I had broken ties with my family to marry Kyron. Every year, I spent my birthday and our anniversary alone.Back then, Kyron said that if I married him, he would never leave me alone. He would be my family.So, I married him despite the opposition from my family. I thought he was worth everything.Now, I realize that he was the one who created this abyss for me.I raised my glass of red wine, toasting the empty seat across me.Kyron, I'd rather be alone. You're no longer my family.…Kyron felt guilty over that day's events and sent me a dress as compensation. It was a vibrant red dress, but it wasn't my style.I remembered Fiona's social media post from the previous night."Someone bought me a dress in a color I don't like. He will sleep on the couch tonight as punishment!"The photo was of this very dress, and Kyron hadn't come home that night. He preferred sleeping on the

Kyron finally looked at me.The large words lingered in the sky for a long time, embarrassing everyone around."Courtney, you know we've always treated Fiona like a sister."I smiled faintly at his words."Oh," I acknowledged.Kyron tried pulling me, but I ignored him, returning to the main hall. Everyone else returned to their seats following my lead.I was indeed calm, and I wasn't pretending. I felt surprised, too, that I hadn't reacted at all to this grand display of affection.Lost in my memories, I realized Kyron had never said he loved me. Not when we got married, nor during our passionate times. He never said it once.It turned out he did value promises, just not those said to me.My thoughts were interrupted by the cheering at the door as several waiters pushed carts into the room.A large, multi-layered cake was brought in. The cake was exquisite, but the design wasn't anything grand. There were two small figures, a man and a woman, perched on top. As the crowd

A week later, I returned home to find it empty and lifeless.Kyron had disappeared for as many days as I was away.I sat down and opened my social media. Scrolling through the application, I found Fiona's posts flaunting her relationship."Reuniting with the love of my life is sweeter than honey." Her captions read. She was becoming bolder with them.It turned out that the two of them had made up over the past few days and were even sweeter than before.He abandoned me to be with Fiona.He didn't verbally admit to the cheating, but his actions were honest.…There wasn't any food at home, so I went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients.While driving, I felt a strange sensation. Before I knew it, I collided with a small sedan at an intersection.This was the second time I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.Out of instinct, I called Kyron. He did not answer, and I lost consciousness.When I opened my eyes again, a doctor stood beside my bed."Your wounds are n

When I arrived in a warm country on the other side of the globe, Kyron finally realized I was missing.Only my lawyer was there to negotiate with him.After watching the shooting stars with his mistress, he finally remembered his wife, who was supposed to be waiting for him at home.He tried calling me, but my phone was off.Unable to sit still, he wanted to go home to see me, but Fiona held him back."You said you wanted a child, and it's not like only she can give birth to your child."If you like, we can have a try now..." she hinted.That night, Kyron succumbed to her again.Fiona could control him with just a few words; that was her skill. Of course, she told me all these things herself, including how passionate Kyron was in bed.It was evident that women were meticulous in nature. Even though I had deactivated my socials, she still managed to find me.The next morning, after leaving Fiona's gentle embrace, Kyron tried to contact me again.He panicked once he found out

Chapter 9

"Kyron! You're crazy! How dare you hit me!" Fiona exclaimed. She was stunned for a few seconds before she remembered to retaliate.However, Kyron pinned her down."You wicked woman! You've been trying to destroy my family all along!"You posted those social media updates to provoke Courtney! It was all intentional!" he screamed.Fiona wasn't one to back down. She reached out and scratched Kyron's face, leaving a large gash."You're a heartless scumbag! You said you only loved me!"You wouldn't leave her, so how could you marry me? How could you have a child with me?"Do you want me to be your mistress for life? No way!"Fiona hadn't finished speaking when another slap echoed.Kyron seemed to have used all his strength, and his palm was bright red after hitting her."You are evil! I gave you money, a house, and a company. You're still not satisfied!"You're a disaster!"Seeing that blunt force wasn't working, Fiona quickly changed tactics. She looked up at Kyron with the exp
