Chapter 1

"Are you sure about this?" asked the voice on the other end of the phone. "Once you burn your ID, the person named Stacy Lynd will cease to exist, and the people who know you will never be able to find you again."Never be able to find her again? That was exactly what she wanted.Stacy chuckled bitterly once, before her smile faded and she spoke with determination, "Yes, I'm sure."Though surprised for a moment by her resolve, the voice soon replied, "Very well, Miss Lynd—everything will be done within two weeks, and you will be provided with a new identity. We wish you all the best in your brand new life."Brand new life? Once could only hope.Hanging up, Stacy rose to her feet and walked with her legs—numbed from crouching, and took a cab home.After taking a bath, she was going to lie in bed when Martin Spencer entered, his body pungent with alcohol.He found Stacy with pinpoint precision, reaching out and gathering her in his arms as he breathed sweetly, "Why didn't you pick

Chapter 2

Seeing the unfamiliar number, Stacy knew right away that it was Rachel Fox.After all, she had sent Stacy a photo of herself in Martin's arms, who was looking downward at her and smiling affectionately, and they were clearly at Rachel's place.On top of that, the photo was captioned: We're getting married soon because Martin finds you worthless. Know your place and make yourself scarce already.Stacy's fingers clenched around her phone as the words were knives that cut into every fiber of her being, leaving her unable to breathe.Soon, the fireworks show had ended, leaving the peak at once dark and silent.Stacy's phone turned off on its own from the cold, and without any light, she had to walk down the hill with the faint moonlight.It started to snow, and she knew that if she stayed above the hill, they would find her dead the next morning.She had no choice but to keep heading down the hill, a chill creeping up her spine as her fear of the dark engulfed her.She was afraid o

Chapter 3

Martin had been down on one knee when he gave Stacy that ring, looking up at her face nervously as he spoke with a crack in his voice, "Will you be my girlfriend for the rest of our lives? I really love you, and I won't marry anyone but you."It was such a vague promise that anyone slightly rational would be skeptical of, but Stacy had bought it.And how moved she had been then, was exactly how devastated she was now.Collecting herself, Stacy left, her fingers now empty save for the faint traces on her ring finger, while that clearly expensive ring lay on the bathroom sink.It was not until 10pm when Martin rushed into the room, and immediately dropped on one knee in front of her as she sat on the couch.Before she realized what was happening, he pulled out the ring she had left and gently slid it on her finger, looking into her eyes lovingly, "Didn't you know you lost this? How could you be so clumsy? Don't ever lose it again—it's proof of our marriage."Despite that loving gaz

Chapter 4

Though Stacy rode very slowly, she was spacing out and never noticed Rachel directing her horse toward hers, their horses crashing into each other before she realized what had happened.Though caught by surprise, she released the lead rope and leapt off, dropping into a nasty roll as she landed.As she looked up, she found Rachel falling off her horse too, and straight into Martin's arms.As soon as Martin let her down, she grabbed his arm and gasped feebly, "The baby…"Stacy watched him pause before picking Rachel up again, and turned toward her as if it troubled him, "She's pregnant. I'll take her to the hospital for now, alright?"The sight of him holding Rachel so tightly left Stacy feeling a pang of bitterness, but she smiled bitterly as she murmured, "Yeah."And with her permission, Martin dashed off, while Stacy watched as he ran so anxiously, her bitterness almost showing.A trainer came up to her just then, helping her to her feet, "Are you injured, ma'am?"She had jum

Chapter 5

Seizing the time when Martin wasn't around on her birthday, Stacy packed her things, before gathering the photos she had taken with Martin over the years and burned everything in the garden.There was no reason to keep that stuff as the sentiment they embodied was gone.She took none of the things that Martin had given her too, and took only that which was hers, just like how Martin was no longer hers.With that done, she registered a new SIM card. The current card wouldn't be used as she left, as she had no reason to contact the people she knew now.And once that was done, she sat in the garden, swiping through trending videos when she reached an interview video.She recognized Rachel, standing at the center of the video, while a single hand was holding her around the waist.So Martin was busy keeping her company as she tried on wedding dresses."Please be understanding as the groom is refusing to show his face on stream," the news anchor disclaimed, before moving on to the fir

Chapter 6

Seeing how nervous the maid was, Stacy peered through the window and saw the two black-clad bodyguards steady outside.She knew right then that Martin was keeping her grounded at home so that she wouldn't find out.But there was no secret that could be hidden forever—even if she wasn't aware now, she would still notice eventually.Laughing coolly, she didn't press the issue and said, "Alright. I'll go upstairs for a nap. Don't wake me unless it's important."When she returned to her room, she packed up whatever she had left into her suitcase, and pulled out the gift box she bought, putting inside the ring and the bracelet along with a note: Congratulations on your wedding.Then, tearing the bed sheets into slits and tying each together into a rope, she climbed down the second floor. Martin couldn't keep her locked up, because she had never been a caged bird.Once out of the villa, she threw away her old SIM card and inserted the new one.Going to the company that helped her bu

Chapter 7

At the wedding hall, Martin just stepped down from the altar with Rachel hugging his arm, asking him to greet the guests together.However, he was worried something bad would happen at the villa, and pulled out his phone to immediately see the exclusive.His heart skipped a beat and he quickly called Stacy, but her phone was off.Seeing that he was freezing up, Rachel kept tugging on his arm, "It's time, Martin."Martin flung her hand off right then and started toward the door instead.Seeing that he was leaving in a hurry, his mother promptly stopped him, "What are you doing?! Rachel will be humiliated if you leave! Her and her family!"Martin didn't listen, and strode past anyone stopping him to leave, as he was panicking in fear that Stacy found out the truth.He jumped in his car, barking at his chauffeur to drive to the villa, jumping off it even before the car stopped.Seeing how flustered he was, the bodyguards appeared confused.Martin ignored them and strode in throug

Chapter 8

Coming to his senses and thinking that his people had found Stacy, Martin promptly answered."Sir, we found her SIM card… it's right in the neighborhood."Martin straightened right then. "Send me the location now!"He had the feeling Stacy wouldn't be this close, but he refused to let slip any chance, no matter how slim it was.As it wasn't far, he arrived in five minutes, but Stacy was nowhere in sight, and he found the SIM card in the weeds.With the trail going cold, Martin returned to the villa dispirited, his heart left in anguish. He had no idea where Stacy would go, since she had no friends in the city.That was when his phone rang, and he answered it without looking."Martin, can you come? My tummy's hurting…"If anything, Martin's mood worsened instead of improving upon hearing Rachel's voice, and he growled, "Your tummy hurts? Well why don't you just die?"With that, he hung up and flung it aside in annoyance, only for it to start ringing again. He knew that it was

Chapter 9

On the other end, Rachel's hands were shaking when she heard Martin's icy tone—he knew everything? Her heart pounded in fear, but she kept her tone calm as she tried to play dumb. "W-What are you talking about, Martin? I don't get it."Martin snorted coolly, "You don't? So I must show you your bank accounts transactions? Know this—you will answer for every time you hurt Stacy."And with that threat, he hung up.Hearing the static beeping, Rachel panicked and dropped her phone, her mind racing as she wondered how she would bail herself out of this.She still remembered the coldness on Martin's face when he had warned her to stay away from Stacy, and she knew that he was capable of anything.Still, she remembered the baby in her belly amidst her panic.Yes! She was pregnant with a baby of the Spencer family, and Martin's mother wouldn't just stand by and watch her get hurt!She quickly picked up her phone and called Martin's mother, bawling as soon as she answered, "Help! Martin

Chapter 10

And with those words, Martin grabbed Rachel by the wrist, and she kept struggling even as she was dragged along the floor. "No!!! You can't do this to me! You can't! You loved me so much…"He had looked at her with such tenderness before…. And they just took their oaths at the altar yesterday!However, all she heard was a cold snort. "I only ever loved Stacy. With you, it was just an arranged marriage."Rachel stopped struggling right then.So everything he had said before…those were all lies?!Nonetheless, they were soon out of the door as Martin dragged her toward the car, her body burning even as she scraped along the ground.Martin's mother never left even though she was driven outside, and was at once panicking when she saw it.Shoving off the bodyguards who were afraid to restrain her too forcefully, she ran up and clawed at Martin's arm as she cried, "How could you do this to her?! She's pregnant with your child!"Martin was just going to throw Rachel into the car, but s
