Chapter 1

Today was supposed to be my wedding day with Grayson Harmon. But the moment I opened my eyes that morning, my heart wouldn't stop racing. I couldn't explain it, just had a sinking feeling something was going to go wrong.And sure enough, it did—right as we stepped onto the stage.Sophia Lexton showed up.She stood there, holding a scalpel. A real surgical scalpel. Sharp enough to slice skin clean. Her hand shook as she held it to her own neck, crying like her world was ending."Grayson," she screamed, "why did you lie to me? You swore—you said it'd be you and me, forever! It's me and you who are meant to be! How could you not marry me? I'm the only one who should be standing here as your bride. Who is she, anyway?"It was always like this. Anyone with half a brain could see through her act. But Grayson never could. He always fell for it. Always ended up letting her take him away.One blind. One heartless.And this time, he was already giving in again.He stepped toward her, h

When she heard I'd called for an ambulance, Sophia cried even harder. "Grayson, I'm not going to the hospital alone. I'm scared. I don't want to go by myself. If you make me go alone, I'd rather die. I won't ride in an ambulance—I can't. I'm scared. Owen died in an ambulance after the car crash. That feeling—it terrifies me. I won't go. I won't.""Alright, alright," Grayson said quickly. "You won't. I'll take you myself. I'll stay with you. No wedding today, okay? Just listen to me." He tore off his tie and began wrapping the wound on her neck, then lifted her into his arms.He started walking away with her."No. You're not going anywhere." I stepped in front of him, giving both of us one last chance."Brianna, stop it. Move aside. This is about saving a life—do you want her to die?""Grayson, if you walk out that door today, it's over between us.""Brianna, don't be ridiculous. We can have a wedding anytime. But Sophia only has one life.""So that's your choice—you're really go

Chapter 3

In Grayson's memory, whenever he said he was tired, I'd run to him without hesitation—massaging his shoulders, rubbing his legs. Maybe it was that same blind devotion, that "good wife" image, that made him think he could do whatever he pleased."Grayson, what I said at the wedding wasn't a joke. Let's set a time to get the papers." I meant divorce papers.He'd dragged me to get the marriage license as soon as he learned I was pregnant. But these past few days, I've had time to think things through. I don't want to keep dragging out this love triangle. I'm done being entangled with either of them.His hand shook as he lit a cigarette. "Brianna, what now? You're starting with me too? I'm already exhausted dealing with Sophia. Can't you just be a little more reasonable? Try to understand me for once? I didn't want things to happen that way either, but I couldn't just watch her die. You're always so understanding. You get it, don't you?"He said it as if it were the most natural thing

Chapter 4

That night, we held each other tightly. Just like that, for Grayson, I became a turtle hiding in my shell, swallowing my pride, biting down my frustration, and putting up with Sophia pushing my limits over and over again. I didn't even know how I managed to endure it.But even with all that, her condition didn't improve. It got worse. Her demands became more outrageous by the day.I broke down a few times. Every time I did, Grayson would turn on me, accusing me of being inconsiderate, saying I had no compassion, calling me cold-hearted. Even people around him started blaming me. Said I should be more understanding. Said I was being petty, going up against a sick woman like that.Eventually, I even started to doubt myself. Maybe I really was heartless. Maybe I was the problem. I almost let them brainwash me.Until I accidentally found out the truth—she wasn't sick at all.I told Grayson.He didn't believe me. He said I was just jealous, that's why I thought Sophia was faking it.

Then Grayson looked at me with regret all over his face, like he wanted to apologize. His lips parted, but no words came out.He turned and walked out. I thought he was gone. But a few minutes later, he came back, holding a gift bag."Brianna, I'm sorry. I really do love you. About what happened the other day... I didn't have a choice. Just a little longer, okay? Another six months. We've already made it this far, what's another stretch? Look, remember that bracelet you liked last month? I got it for you."I looked at the gift in his hand and smiled. When did I ever like bracelets? The one I wanted was a red diamond. It was Sophia who liked bracelets.See? Even the gift—he still only remembered what Sophia liked. To him, I was optional. An afterthought."Grayson, have you not noticed? Sophia's condition keeps getting worse. Forget one wedding—she'll ruin ten if we try. I'm tired. I don't want to keep playing games with the two of you. Let's get a divorce.""That won't happen, B

Chapter 6

Just a few minutes later, Grayson came back—this time with two police officers behind him.The moment he stepped inside, he pulled me behind him, shielding me with his body.With the police involved, the debt collectors didn't dare get too aggressive. They only demanded the original two thousand dollars. Even then, I didn't have it.Without a second thought, Grayson paid it off—cool and collected, like it was no big deal.I hated owing anyone. So I wrote him an IOU and promised to pay him back.He agreed without hesitation. From that moment on, he started showing up around me every day. Said he had to keep an eye on his debtor—just in case I skipped town.But it wasn't just that.He kept finding excuses to give me money. "Accidentally" loading my meal card. "Accidentally" ordering food to my place. "Accidentally" buying the wrong gift that was supposedly for a friend.And then came his graduation.At the ceremony, right there on stage with a mic in hand, he shouted a confessio

Chapter 7

I couldn't take the tension anymore. I turned to the company director sitting beside me and struck up a conversation about my current project.He liked my idea, said it had potential. He lifted his glass to toast.But before our glasses could meet, Grayson shot to his feet, snatched the wine from my hand, and smashed the glass against the floor."Have you lost your mind?" he snapped. "Don't forget, you're still pregnant. Drinking? Are you trying to kill yourself? And now you're using the baby just to make me stay away from Sophia? What happened to you? How could you be so cruel?"His words hit like a hammer. The whole room froze. Everyone stared at him.Then someone spoke."Grayson… you didn't know?"He looked around, confusion flickering across his face. "Know what? What happened?""Grayson, she… she lost the baby. It happened on your wedding day. There was heavy bleeding. We tried to contact you, but couldn't reach you. In the end, it was Brianna who signed the consent form h

"Let's go home," Grayson said gently. "I'll take care of you until you're healthy again. You'll give me another big, healthy boy one day—won't you?"I smiled. "Grayson, I told you that day—if you walked away, it would really be over between us.""You want a child?" I shook my head. "You can have one with Sophia. I won't interfere in your life anymore. I hope the two of you enjoy the rest of your lives together."Clutching my chest, I turned to leave. Saying it didn't hurt would be a lie. After all, we had spent five years together.Grayson must've realized this time I wasn't bluffing. He stood in front of the door, refusing to move."Brianna, it was my fault. Let's go home. From now on, I'll treat you right. We'll have our wedding—next week. Even if the sky falls, I won't leave you. Just trust me, okay? Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Just say it.""Trust you? Anything I want?" I tilted my head. "Fine. Send Sophia abroad for treatment, or check her into a psychiatric hosp

Chapter 9

In Grayson's family, only Grayson and his grandfather ever treated me kindly. Now that even Grayson had taken Sophia's side, what was left for me to care about?To avoid being harassed by phone calls, I turned my phone off.I had already wrapped up most of my duties at work—just two more days, and I'd be free. So it surprised me when I saw Grayson standing at the office entrance early that morning, holding a basket of freshly croissants—my favorite.He should've been at the hospital with Sophia. Or was the company in such trouble that he had to show up himself?Just as he was about to hand the croissants to me, Sophia appeared out of nowhere and snatched them from his hands."What are you doing out of the hospital?" he snapped. "These are for Brianna. Give them back to her. If you're hungry, order some yourself and stay put."Sophia started crying.It was the first time I'd ever seen Grayson raise his voice at her. But instead of feeling moved, I just felt disgusted.He grabbed

Sophia's face flushed red, then turned pale. "You… who told you? Was it Brianna? It had to be her!""It wasn't," Grayson replied. "She has nothing to do with it. I've known since the accident that this was all an act. At first, I thought you just didn't want to go overseas with your uncle's family. I never imagined you actually hoped to become my wife. That—crossed the line.""If you want to die, then go ahead," he said coldly. "The death of my child has already repaid the debt our family owed your father. I don't owe your family anything anymore. Think it over yourself."He shot one final glance at me, then walked away.I stood frozen, a bitter laugh rising in my throat. So he'd known all along. The joke was on me.…From that day on, Grayson came to find me every day. But I had made up my mind—I was going to divorce him.In an effort to win me back, he actually had Sophia committed to a psychiatric hospital and gave strict orders for her to be well taken care of.They said he
