Chapter 1

When John Blake, my childhood friend, rushed into my office, I was still organizing the mess of documents on my table. “Yggdra, what on earth are you trying to pull?”I scowled and looked at my childhood friend of more than twenty years and felt frustrated. “What’s gotten you acting like a lunatic again?”Soon, I understood the reason behind his rage. William Lane, my boyfriend, had come in with a crying Claire Stone. Claire was our new assistant. William had a dark expression on and a reproachful look in his eyes. The blatant disgust he exuded chilled me to the bone. There was a red mark on one of Claire’s cheeks. John pointed at Claire and practically shouted at me. “No matter what Claire did wrong, you shouldn’t have raised your hand to her! Who the hell do you think you are?!”When I saw his rage-filled eyes, I turned to Claire. “Did I hit you?”Claire trembled and hid behind William before she shook her head minutely. Honestly, she put on a convincing pitiful act. “E

My mother nodded and offered me some words of comfort before she got up to make the call. After I returned to my room, I lay in bed. As I stared at the familiar ceiling above my head, I remembered the first time I saw Claire hugging William. At that time, I had been furious and rushed over to pull them apart. Before I could even demand answers, Claire had already started crying and apologizing. She said, “I’m sorry, Yggdra! I’m really sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just too sad…”William pulled Claire over while she was still apologizing and shielded her behind him before giving me a scowl. “Yggdra, Claire didn’t do anything wrong. Cut her some slack. I was just comforting her just now, anyway.”Perhaps I had really acted like an unreasonable woman at that time because I had pointed at Claire and shouted, “Comforting her? Do you need to hug her to comfort her?“And are you saying I’m making her life miserable? How am I doing that, then? Tell me!”William smacked my

I looked up in puzzlement, but all I saw was John’s angry face, along with Claire, who had white cream on her shirt. She was standing by the door. Rage burned in me, and I stood up before saying coldly, “Claire, did I do that?”With teary eyes, Claire shook her head and waved her hands. “N-No. I was just careless.”But before I could say anything else, William removed his suit jacket and draped it across Claire’s shoulders. That suit jacket was a gift from me. I had bought it using the money I got from my first case. I could not help it. I yelled his name. “William!”William paused for a moment as he was leading Claire away. John started talking sarcastically. He said, “I’ll take Claire away instead. If you’re too close to her, Miss Howard here will bully her even more.”When did John start referring to me like this?In the end, they all left. No one gave me a chance to defend myself. The white cake that had splattered onto the floor reminded me of our relationship. …

After I got home, I had a good talk with my parents. Naturally, they were against the idea of me jumping into marriage so soon. But once they heard my thoughts about this, they said nothing else. Part of this was also due to the trust they had in Richard. After all, they knew his entire background. That night, I slept surprisingly well. After all, the things that had tied me down for far too long had disappeared. Who would have known that John would turn out like this?My father was best friends with John’s father, and they bought houses near one another. Hence, we studied in the same class since elementary school. When he fought with kids from other classes, I would wait for him with our school bags. When he got into a relationship during middle school, I covered for him. He was like family to me, and he grew up with me. I thought of him like a brother. When we got to university, we chose to study law together. When I first got together with William, John found hi

This time, I laughed. “I’m talking business with you, and you’re saying I’m kicking up a fuss? “John, we’ve known each other for more than twenty years, but this is the first time I’ve realized that you have such bad judgement.“If you don’t want the shares, I’ll sell them to someone else. It’s not as if no one will buy them.”I moved to leave, but William stopped me and started reading through the agreement. John sighed and read the agreement as well. As I stared at William’s serious face, I found myself still befuddled. We had been together for four years, so how did things end up like this?When I realized William was also making breakfast for Claire, I was sad, since that was supposed to be a privilege of mine. Then, I saw him showing up repeatedly in Claire’s Instagram posts. I had argued with him about this. But all I got from my efforts was him becoming increasingly colder to me before he started looking at me in disgust. The man who had once been a great person

Chapter 6

I had wanted to say many things to John and William, but far too many things happened later on, and I did not want to be falsely labelled as someone who bullied newcomers anymore. But I did install a camera in my office.Then, I would be able to give John and William a “pleasant gift”.I went to the washroom halfway through the meal. To no surprise at all, I met William at the door. “Who is he? You’re already eating with another man just a few days after our breakup? Do you really need to cheapen yourself like this?”I huffed in exasperation. “Do I need to remind you that you were already hugging and holding hands with Claire before we broke up? You also brought her breakfast every day. You cheated on me multiple times. I’d be cheapening myself if I spent the rest of my life with you instead! Get out of my sight!”With my rose-tinted glasses gone, everything William said to me just made me want to puke. I ignored William’s sullen expression and hurriedly returned to my table.

When did he prepare this? He treated my resume like it was precious cargo. It reminded me of that time when Claire did not bring all the necessary documents for a hearing, and I was so angry that I gave her a stern warning in the office.What had William said to me after he charged in?“Yggdra, everyone makes mistakes. How could you be so harsh? Do you really think you’re much better? If it weren’t for me, John, and your parents, you’d be nothing.”William’s words had been a huge blow to me, not just because he was protecting Claire, but also because he had looked down on my abilities. As I listened to Richard praise me for the cases I had taken on, the darkness that had shrouded my heart disappeared bit by bit. While Richard was sending me back, my phone rang. It was an unknown number. After a moment’s hesitation, I answered. “Yggdra, aren’t you just ‘amazing’? You did this after transferring the shares?”I could tell that William was really worked up. But I felt a lit

If they had just believed in me a little more, Claire would not have been so successful in her endeavors. But they did not, and they deserved all that was happening to them. During dinner, I spoke to my parents about this, and I felt fortunate that I had left before it happened. Claire had taken a lot of pictures of documents, so the law firm must have suffered quite a significant loss. …Two days before I got married, I saw John and William sitting on the couch when I went downstairs. I scowled as I sat in front of them. John looked haggard, and he did not even shave his stubble properly. “Yggdra, I’m sorry. I didn’t know about this. I really didn’t. I wasn’t expecting Claire to do this. “Why didn’t you tell us?”I scoffed. “Heh. Didn’t I? Did you believe me back then?“Even now, you’re trying to shift the blame to someone else. Do you really think that Claire is the only problem here? Did she cast a spell on you two? How exactly did she make you two kiss her feet s

“I’m not falling for that. Asking for my help is pointless. I’m no longer a shareholder of the law firm. The ones suing you are John and William. Why don’t you try a little harder with your pitiful act? They might just spare you.”Richard walked over after parking his car. When he saw Claire, he raised an eyebrow. Just when he wanted to say something, John walked over.“Yggdra, I…”But once he saw Claire standing by the side, he glared at her in disgust. “Why are you here?! Leave! We’ve already reported this to the police! As for you, you should wait for your court order!”Despite watching Claire leave with a pale face, I did not feel any satisfaction. John cast me a tentative look before looking at Richard. “Who is he?”I did not even spare him a single glance. “It has nothing to do with you.”I intended to head inside, but John spoke up in a hurry. He said, “Yggdra, I’m sorry! We’ve already filed a report!“We’ve also fired Claire. Could you forgive me? I’m really sorry.”

Chapter 10

Once we got married, we went to visit Angela, and it was obvious that she was really happy, even though she no longer had the energy to smile. Richard held Angela’s hand in one hand while he held mine in the other. It was as if he were a link connecting us. That night, both of our families ate together. I told my parents that we intended to try living together as a proper couple. My parents were happy. Richard looked at me tenderly, and the love in his eyes made me blush. But to my surprise, I saw William when we got home. My parents’ expressions changed. They went inside without even looking at him. I felt a little annoyed too. I stood a few paces away from him as I motioned for him to begin talking. Feeling embarrassed, William tugged his collar. “Yggdra, I’m sorry. I know that you’ve suffered a lot over this period of time.“I realize what I’ve done wrong now. We’ve also suffered from far too many misunderstandings.“Since we’ve been together for such a long time,
