Chapter 1

One week ago, I was still Wales Price's paralyzed fiancée. I had been convinced that Wales' love for me was true until I regained my hearing. I refused to marry a liar, so I looked up a service to fake my death. I would use a fake corpse of myself to participate in our wedding. Before I left, I behaved as I usually did and acquiesced with Wales' plans to throw me a birthday party. Wales wheeled me to the table and played the role of a caring lover, serving me food and peeling the shells off the prawns for me.His good friends shoved him in the shoulder playfully and teased, "What a good husband you are! There's only five days left till you'll be a married man. What are you going to do about your other lover, Anna? Why don't you give her to me?"I clenched the fork in my hand tighter after hearing his words and waited for Wales' answer. Wales didn't say a word until he was done peeling the last prawn. He placed the prawn on my plate and cleaned his hands with a napkin elegantly.

After noticing how I hadn't touched my food, Wales signed at me, "Joey, why aren't you eating?"I looked at his face that was filled with concern and forced a stiff smile. "What are all of you talking about? You look like you're having fun."Wales patted my head fondly. He signed, "I'm telling them about us. They're very envious of our love."He lifted my hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it. Everyone at the party saw the kiss and exchanged sly looks with each other. My heart felt like it had been thrown into a pit of fire, left to be burned until there was nothing but ashes remaining.Wales had clearly been telling them about how he messed around with another woman while we were only separated by a single wall. He chose to lie to me, pretending he was telling them about our love. The way he had done it so easily led me to believe that he had also lied to me in the past."I'm tired. I want to go home."I wanted to leave this dreadful place as soon as possible. I wanted to es

I had only been lying on the bed for a while before a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind. I was so startled by the sudden touch that I started to thrash around. However, the person behind me tightened his hold on me.It was Wales, and he reeked of alcohol and perfume that made my nose sting. I had smelled this scent on Anna before, and it made my stomach churn. He signed to me, "The birthday party was for you, Joey. Why did you leave before cutting the cake? Did something make you upset?"I'll bring you to see our new home tomorrow. I bought it just for you, and I've already renovated it, too. Once we're married, we can move there together."He tried to kiss me after he was done speaking, but I turned my head away and said, "It's fine as long as you've made the decision. I don't feel like going."When he noticed my indifferent response, his expression turned confused, and he signed, "Joey, do you not want to marry me anymore?"Wales was acting so cautiously at tha

When I returned home, the house was empty. I stood up and walked around to exercise my legs. It had been too long since I used them, so my movements were still stiff. My phone chimed, notifying me I had received a message. Someone had sent me a photo.In the photo, a woman wearing a skimpy bunny suit was leaning against a floor-to-ceiling window. The back of her suit had been ripped open, showing off the two dimples burrowing into her lower back. The woman's hair was a mess, her eyes hazed over. Wales stood behind her, completely shirtless. His muscles were tense, and his hands were on her waist. The position they were in left little to the imagination.A voice recording popped up in the chat in the next few seconds. The sounds of a man and a woman moaning together reverberated around the room when I tapped the play button, along with the sounds of skin slapping against skin rhythmically."Mr. Price," Anna moaned. "Wasn't the renovation of this house completed just recently? We'

Chapter 5

Two days before the wedding, Wales and Anna left traces of their passion everywhere in the new house. While caught in the throes of their passion, Anna hugged Wales tightly and asked, "I can make you happier. Why don't you let me be Mrs. Price instead?"She didn't expect Wales' sudden change in behavior. One second, his eyes were glazed over with want as he promised to buy a villa for her, his arms wrapped around her slender waist. In the next second, his movements ceased as the haze of desire in his eyes receded instantly."Anna, I'll spoil you as much as you want as long as Joey doesn't find out about us. But you need to know your place. There are some things that you cannot ask for," he warned.Surprise flickered over Anna's face. She didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to replace me, not after staying by Wales' side and pleasing him for three years. But Anna knew how to keep a man happy. She straddled Wales' lap and whispered honeyed words into his ear. It didn't take long

Chapter 6

An image appeared on the screen, displaying two figures locked in a passionate embrace atop the kitchen island. The image then switched to the same two figures messing around on the couch in the living room and also in front of a set of floor-to-ceiling windows.The erotic videos were also broadcast to the viewers who were tuned in to the live stream. People started pouring into the stream, the viewer count climbing from 10,000 to over 100,000 in a matter of seconds.Wales was the first to regain his senses. He roared at the host, "Turn it off! Turn it off right now!"The USB drive had been given to the host by a friend of the bride, so he had no idea about the shocking contents it held within. Knowing that he had made a grave mistake, the host rushed over to the computer to turn off the video. However, no matter what he did, he couldn't stop the recording from playing.Wales had made his way over to the computer as well. Seeing how there was no way to turn off the video, he yank

Chapter 7

The organizers began to usher the guests out of the hall, doing their best to block the view of the audience. The head bodyguard approached Wales and tried to pull him back up onto his feet. But Wales knocked his hands aside and lunged for the crystal coffin. He pushed the coffin lid aside and reached for my face with quivering fingers. My skin was icy beneath his fingertips. He removed his tuxedo jacket and draped it over my body. The tears that streamed from his eyes dripped onto my face as he rubbed my face like someone possessed. "Why are you so cold, Joey? Here. You can have my jacket, and you won't feel so cold anymore. Hurry and wake up, Joey. I'm going to bring you home. "Have you forgotten that today's our wedding day? How am I going to live without you from now on? Are you really that cruel to leave me all alone?"Wales' voice cracked as he spoke. The staff pressed my phone into Wales' palm and said in a robotic tone, "This is Ms. Hertza's phone. She left a final mes

Chapter 8

Wales was bedridden for a week before he finally regained consciousness. My funeral was over by then, and what awaited him was only a cold and lifeless tombstone.Since the wedding had been streamed live, everyone in the world knew about him being unfaithful. The incident had greatly impacted Price Corporation's reputation. Within a short span of time, Price Corporation's stock market value fell steeply. The board of directors came to a unanimous decision to strip Wales of his position as CEO.Wales had only nodded emotionlessly when his secretary delivered the news to him. He had probably already expected such an outcome. Later, he sat before my tombstone and started singing my favorite song. He only left after evening had fallen. He sat in the spot where I used to sit while I read or drank coffee and fell into a daze.Although I had vandalized our wedding photo, Wales had kept it hung up in his room. He had drawn an image of me in the empty spot that was left behind, as if it
