Semua Bab Letting Go of What Was Never Ours: Bab 1 - Bab 9

After dinner, Martin was called by his father to the study to discuss work, while I went to the room Martin had when he was young. There was a diary on the bookshelf. I had never opened it out of respect before, but now I was unwilling to give up even the slightest clue.The first page of the diary featured a photo of me in a pure white wedding dress, my head lowered, looking a bit sad. Behind the photo was a delicately written phrase—My First and Only.I sneered inwardly. Perhaps the old me would have been touched, but now, I only found it ironic. I continued turning the pages."The new transfer student is really pretty. She looks so delicate. It's going to be fun.""She finally talked to me today, and she has a really nice voice." "Florence is crazy.""My brother gave a speech in front of all the students, and Audrey has never looked at me the way she looked at him.""Why am I always falling short compared to my brother? He even takes away the person I like. I can't accept it

Back then, the Barrack family sent Florence abroad to avoid trouble. But as soon as she returned, she learned that Martin and I had already gotten married. "Go ahead and hit me. If anything happens to me, do you think the Lynch family and the Steinfeld family will let you off?"She snorted, turned her head, and casually flipped her hair as though she couldn't care less. There was a sparkling earring in her left ear—an extremely high-purity blue topaz.At this moment, a guest walked over and greeted me. "Hello, Ms. Lynch. Where is Mr. Steinfeld?"Florence also realized that Martin had been gone for quite a while and frowned anxiously. "Yes, why hasn't he come back yet?"Just then, a scream came from the direction of the lounge, and everyone was startled. I quickly walked over and yanked the door open. Behind the door, the disheveled Martin was pinning the waitress beneath him and forcefully tearing her clothes.The waitress looked at me in despair, tears streaming down her face

Martin's mother, who was sitting beside me, was the first to lose her composure. "You lunatic! How dare you hurl such a baseless accusation?""I have evidence!" Tears streamed down Natalie's face as she raised a USB drive."All the evidence of Martin contacting my sister is here. My sister was a nurse in the hematology department at the hospital downtown."Mrs. Steinfeld's face was drained of color. She clutched her chest with a trembling hand and was on the verge of fainting. It seemed she believed it."Mr. Steinfeld looks so accomplished, yet he actually laid a hand on his brother.""Sigh, it's true that we can't judge a book by its cover.""Poor Henry! He was such a good kid.""Yes, he was so gentle and smart. But he passed at such a young age…"The table suddenly turned, and everyone started pointing fingers at Martin. Martin's expression twisted with rage as he roared, "Shut up, all of you!"He turned to me, his voice trembling. "Audrey, it's not like that. I didn't—Dad

Murder and rape were crimes of different severity. This time, Martin could only stay in the cold detention center. In just a few days, he had become much thinner and looked more haggard. He was very excited when he saw me. "Honey, are you alright?"Then, his gaze fell on my flat abdomen, and he froze. "What happened to our child?""She's gone because of your precious lover." I gave him a sarcastic smile.
