8 Chapters

Chapter 1

“Elise Avignon, right? Call your husband to get his private plane to save us before the earthquake!”My eyes flew open in shock at the impatient prodding.Beside me, Josie, my mother-in-law, was gripping the hem of my top. She had been startled by the fleeing tourists all around us.“Elise, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought you to this pointless auction. There aren’t many seats on the rescue planes. Let’s give others our spots and wait for Lucas to come get us!”The sight of Josie forcing herself to keep her cool and comfort me nearly got me crying. “Josie, Lucas is celebrating Shevonne’s birthday. If we ask him to come here, I’m sure he’ll think I’m tricking him to gain his favor.”The smile on Josie’s face turned rigid. Even the tourists who had been shoving and pushing their way onto the planes looked over at me, oddly in sync.Everyone knew that the president of the Devine Group, Lucas Devine, did not love his wife. His heart belonged to Shevonne Cobb.Faced with

Before the woman could finish speaking, I had already made my decision.“My mother-in-law is unwell. Take her with you.”At that moment, Josie gathered herself while being treated. She suddenly grabbed the hem of my top and insisted that she would not board the plane. “I can’t leave, Elise. If I hadn’t forced you to marry Lucas, we wouldn’t be stuck here today.“I’m getting up there in age, and I won’t live much longer. I can’t let you sacrifice yourself for me.”The warning siren for the earthquake rang out again. As the rescue team hurried us, I clenched my teeth and pried Josie’s fingers off me one by one.“Don’t say that, Josie. If you hadn’t helped me financially, I would still be farming in the valley.“In my heart, you’re like my own mother. The wrongs Lucas committed have nothing to do with you. Go. Everyone’s waiting for you.”My parents were servants of the Devine family. Back when Lucas and I were still kids, he got kidnapped, and my parents lost their lives savin

I had never gotten such treatment. In the years since I married Lucas, all that I received was his ire, coldness, blame, and derision. To him, my life was not worth a hair on Shevonne’s head. Thus, he was not coming to save me. The tourists around me who saw the news had various expressions. Yet, their desperation to live urged them to call Lucas anyway. When Lucas got the call, he sounded very impatient. “Hello, who is this?”“Mr. Devine, I’m stuck with your wife, Elise Avignon, at the airport—”“When will you give it up? How much did that scheming woman pay you to put on this show? I’ll pay double for you all to shove off!”“Mr. Devine, haven’t you seen the news? We’ve had an earthquake warning. Everyone’s evacuating!”“I’ve not seen any news. Would my assistant not tell me about an earthquake?“Is Elise beside you? I’m warning you, Elise. Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because my mother likes you. I only love Shevonne!”At that point, one of the

My back landed heavily against cement, and every part of my body screamed in agony. Lucas’s helicopter rotated above me before flying into the distance. Blood pooled beneath me. Terrified, I wanted to get up, but my leg seemed to be broken. It could not support me. Those who had envied me for getting saved were all stunned. It took a long time for someone to rally them. “Hurry, save her!”As this call came, all those strangers, whom I had only seen once, ran over to me with all their might. Some people helped me up while others brought water to my lips. Another kept asking how I was. I could hear the earthquake warning going off again and tried my best to speak. “I’m fine. You have to run.”Just as I said this, the ground started to shake again. Amid the noise, everyone gathered around me. No one was willing to leave me behind. At that instant, I let go of all that I had felt for Lucas. I could not deny that I truly did love him. He was born with a nobleman’s gr

When I awoke, all I saw was white. Beside me, Josie was nodding off with her face against a palm. There were dark bags under her eyes. Josie opened her eyes when she heard me sitting up. Her eyes immediately filled with tears. “Elise, you silly girl. Why didn’t you say that you were pregnant?”Hearing the hitch in her voice, my eyes stung with tears as well. “Josie, Lucas wouldn’t have let me keep the child.”Josie’s expression turned somber. “I know what he did. Don’t worry, Elise. No matter what you choose, I will support you.”I knew that she was talking about the divorce. Ever since the first time Lucas abandoned me for Shevonne, I had been thinking about divorce. However, Josie loved me and hated Shevonne’s dastardly tricks. Thus, she refused to allow Lucas and me to divorce. On one hand, I suffered Lucas’s mistreatment. On the other hand, Josie loved and protected me. I was stuck between heaven and hell every day, and the torment of it ripped my soul apart. A

With quick steps, Lucas came forward and pulled me up from the bed by my wrist. He stared into my eyes. “What do you mean by this, Elise? Do you think I’ll let you go if you try to make headway in this roundabout manner? I want you to make a statement and apologize to Shevonne. Tell people that you were just playing around and fell accidentally. Do you hear me?” In contrast to Lucas’s rage, I only looked at him quietly as I shook my head. “It wasn’t a game. Shevonne wanted to kill me.”Instantly, tears ran down Shevonne’s face, and she threw herself into Lucas’s embrace. “It was only a prank, Lucas. How could she blame me for it? Let’s forget it. Others can lecture me all they want. It’s fine for them to think I was in the wrong. Let’s go quickly. Let’s not make Elise mad, or she’ll say even more bad stuff about me…”Although she sounded helpless, Shevonne was blaming everything on me. Lucas was instantly enraged. He gripped me by the throat and hurled me from the bed to th

“It’s gone now. Lucas, you haven’t done your duty as a husband for a single day, so you would definitely not have been a good father.”Lucas looked struck. He stood in place without moving. Right then, his assistant rushed in through the door. “Mr. Devine, we’re in trouble. Everyone’s saying that you abandoned your wife. We can’t suppress public opinion any longer.”Lucas’s gaze turned sharp, and he chastised the man. “Why didn’t you tell me about it? And why didn’t you call me about the earthquake the second it happened?”The assistant, Bernard Johnson, gulped. His expression was resigned. “Ms. Cobb said not to disturb you when you and her were spending time alone together, not even if the sky was falling.“She also said that if we dare to upset her, she’d immediately fire and blacklist us.”Lucas’s expression turned frigid. He frowned as he looked at the news. His behavior had started trending long ago. Everyone was criticizing and calling him out. Some scolded Shevonn

Lucas was overjoyed. He quickly rushed back to the ward. When he saw the assistant kneeling in the corner, Lucas was a little surprised. “Aren’t we getting a divorce? What’s going on here?”Josie did not even glance at Lucas. She glanced at the assistant with a lift of her chin. “Tell him what you told me clearly!”The assistant did not dare to keep the secret any longer. He told the truth. As Lucas listened, his expression turned colder and colder. “It’s impossible. Shevonne is kind and innocent. She would never hurt anyone!”As he said this, the person Josie had sent out returned. “I investigated carefully. The post about the show of affection on the helicopter trended because of Shevonne’s influence.”Lucas looked lost. He snatched the file from the investigator’s hand.Once he finished reading, Lucas’s legs went weak, and he fell on the floor. “How could this be?”Josie looked at him with disgust. “Didn’t you say that Shevonne is innocent and kind and not at a
