Chapter 1 Heartless Father

That caught me by surprise, and then my heart ached. My daughter used to adore Timothy, even though he'd barely shown up, and even if he did, he never smiled at her. When I found out Timothy hadn't forgotten about his first love, I asked my daughter, very subtly, if she wanted to leave with me.And she cried, every single time. "I love you and Dad, Mom. Why can't we stay together?" So I didn't get a divorce for Tabitha's sake.Yet now she was the one who wanted to come with me. Timothy killed Tabitha's love for him. I looked at the scar on her forehead, and I felt my heart twist into a knot. I held her tightly in my embrace, and with a trembling voice, I said, "Of course. We'll leave. No one will hurt you. Timothy hates us? Then, we'll leave him behind."Tabitha said sweetly, "It's my birthday tomorrow, Mom. Can I have one last birthday with Dad before we leave?"Of course. She had one last sliver of hope for her father. Though he was always distant, Timothy would celebrate her bir

Chapter 2 Venomous Woman

Timothy noticed the scar on Tabitha's forehead. For once, he felt guilty, so he apologized, "I didn't mean to abandon you, Tabitha." Yeah, that was what he said, but he didn't even let go of Nathaniel.Tabitha looked at the boy her father was holding and the woman standing with him. She envied them, thinking it was unfair for her, but she held back her tears and shook her head."I understand. Nathaniel has no father, so he needs a bit more attention."He was stunned. That was the same thing he once told Tabitha. He was the one who arranged for Nathaniel to attend this school. Just in case the kids tried to bully the boy, he donated a whole library for the kindergarten, and everyone thought he was Nathaniel's dad.He forbade Tabitha from telling anyone he was her dad, though. For two years, she was in kindergarten, and he'd never sent her to school or picked her up. He'd never joined her class activities.For some reason, Nathaniel gathered all the kids and told them to ostracize

Chapter 3 Dumb Father

We got home and started packing. Tabitha came over to me, holding her plushies. She was looking forward to something. This was the only gift her father had given her all these years. I didn't want to let her down, and the plushies did no wrong, so I let Tabitha stuff them into our suitcases.She smiled, and I did as well. Then, someone came to the door. Tabitha and I raised our heads, surprise filling our eyes. It must be Timothy.And then our delight was destroyed. Willow and Nathaniel were right behind them. "Nathaniel's down with a fever, and Willow can't take care of him herself, so I'm letting them stay with us for a while," he explained as he looked at me.I would probably be crestfallen in the past, but now I knew how important Willow was to Timothy, so I felt nothing. Calmly, I nodded.Annoyed by my response, Timothy frowned. "You're not objecting?"I looked at him weirdly. This was his house. He could invite anyone he wanted, so why would I object?My silence angered h

Chapter 4 Decision

I took Tabitha to kindergarten the next day to finish the process of dropping out. We ran into Timothy and Willow at the entrance. They were holding Nathaniel's hands.Timothy frowned and asked seriously, "Why didn't you wait for me?"I sneered. He probably didn't remember, but I did ask him to take Tabitha to school while I was sick, and he warned me not to play any tricks that could expose our relationship.I stopped asking him to take my daughter to school. I never thought he would.Then, Willow spoke to me like she was Timothy's wife. "Yeah, Yvonne. Why did you take Tabitha to kindy? Timothy drove Nathaniel here in his car. We could've come together."She was bragging, but neither Tabitha nor I would feel sad about it anymore. I was just about to leave, but the principal, Ms. Lane, came out and simpered at Timothy. "Oh, Mr. Horuson, you're taking Nathaniel to school even though you're so busy. He's lucky to have a father like you."And she turned to Willow. "Ah, this must be

Chapter 5 Refusal

I made a feast that night, as was tradition for Tabitha's birthday, and I ordered a big cake for her. Both of us waited around the table for Timothy, with silence as our only companion. We didn't think he'd come back, to be honest. This was a final ritual—one that would kill the last sliver of hope we had for him.Time slipped by like grains of sand. It was ten to midnight soon enough. I got a text, but it was from Willow. "Don't wait up. Timothy's asleep." There was a picture where Timothy was sleeping with Nathaniel and Willow in his arms.Ah, what a lovely sight. They were a happy family, weren't they? I put my phone down and lit up the candles. "Make a wish, Tabitha."Tabitha didn't seem disappointed or sad. Instead, she sweetly told me, "I'll give the wish to you, Mom."I looked at her, touched and melted at how sweet she was. No, I didn't make a wish. I had the person I loved the most by my side, and I had no need for wishes. Before I deleted Timothy's number, I asked Tab

Chapter 6 Empty House

He reeked of perfume, and an exasperated Timothy took his suit off. It cost thousands, yet he tossed it into the bin without hesitation. He was thinking about Yvonne again. She'd never used perfume, yet she radiated a fresh scent—the scent of lily-of-the-valley, her favorite flower.Even their liquid detergent had the scent of that flower. His clothes had the same smell back then. He loved it, yet he said he hated it just to hurt Yvonne. He could still remember how forlorn she looked when he said it.And he never tasted that scent on his clothes ever again. That memory pierced him like an agent of agony. He realized he'd been a little too much all these years. He realized he'd never given her flowers before, so he thought he'd get her some.He thought Yvonne would be delighted. She was always someone who could easily be satisfied. However, when he came back home holding a bouquet of lily-of-the-valley and the gift for his daughter, he was met with a house of darkness.He turned o

Chapter 7 Too Late

The cold hands of fear were grasping Timothy's soul. He knew what was going on. Yvonne had abandoned him. That thought struck him like a sledgehammer, and he bent over in agony. Then, he remembered what Ms. Lane said to him, and it shone like a sliver of hope.Timothy called Ms. Lane and cut to the chase, asking, "What is the reason for Tabitha Horuson's dropping out?" His voice was sharp, and she spilled the beans immediately."Ms. Johnson wishes to take her daughter back to Sinoria, where she can be reunited with her husband and Tabitha's father."Timothy choked on his words. That was a lie, and anyone could've seen through it if he'd just picked Tabitha up from school once. Regret overwhelmed him, but that wasn't the point. He hung up and booked the first flight back to Sinoria. He needed to take Yvonne and Tabitha home. He would not be separated from them again.…Back in Sinoria, Tabitha and I were reveling in the joy of our new lives. Though Timothy had shown not an ounce of

Chapter 8 Big Misunderstanding

Timothy froze, but that didn't stop him for too long. He tossed the plushie aside like he'd never seen it before. "Do you like cakes, then? Tell me whatever you want. I'll get it for you."I pulled Tabitha behind me and stopped Timothy's act of love. "Drop the act, Timothy. You can go back to your game of loving father with Nathaniel."Timothy's eyes lit up. With conviction, he said, "I knew it. You're jealous. Stop messing around and come home with me, Yvonne. I promise I'll never see Willow again."He had made up his mind on his way. Yvonne would be his only partner for life, which meant Willow had outlived her usefulness.Heavens, the bastard looked so sure of himself. I very nearly slapped him. I couldn't believe he was so… self-absorbed. Why had I never noticed that? Never mind. I didn't care about talking to him.I said, "I've signed the papers. My lawyer will contact you soon. I don't need your company's shares. I just want my property and assets. And I get custody. Sign th

Chapter 9 Late Promise

Timothy gnashed his teeth. Fortunately, I got pregnant because of what happened that night. He went MIA for a week and showed up out of the blue. He mentioned marriage like it was nothing and told me there would be no ceremony for this.To his surprise, I accepted his terms. After we got hitched, he neglected me on purpose, and even when Tabitha was born, he acted like he didn't care. Timothy didn't think I could keep the act up for too long, but I remained faithful for half a decade.Just when he was about to give in, Willow came back. He thought he would put me to the test one last time. If I passed, he would let go of the past and keep me as his partner for life. He told me he regretted everything when he saw Tabitha and me crying because of what he did for Willow and Nathaniel.He just couldn't lower his prideful head and apologize to us. He held my hand and lovingly confessed, "Trust me, Yvonne. You're the one I love. I swear."He thought I would be touched, but I thought it

Chapter 10 Finality

Right after he got to the airport, Timothy got a call from Willow, and he sneered. Perfect. He was about to find her, and she practically threw herself at his doorstep.They met, eventually. Willow seemed excited, but there was trepidation in her eyes as well. She couldn't forget about that look he gave her that night. It was terrifying. She was worried he was annoyed by how much in a hurry she was.She decided to be more careful this time. He didn't like her perfume? She ditched it this time. "You must be hungry after that flight, Timothy. I made your favorite." She tried to hold Timothy's hand, but he moved away.He hurled the item in his hand at her and demanded, "Anything you want to say for yourself?"The sudden hit stupefied Willow, but when she noticed the thing on the ground, she paled. That was the letter Yvonne wrote to Timothy. Willow didn't think Timothy still had it. She smiled and put on a sheepish act."I can't believe you kept the letters. Oh, I'm touched."Timo
