Chapter 1

After the gathering ended, I stood at the entrance as usual to see my colleagues off while waiting for Taylor Kennedy to pull out from the parking lot.When a car sprayed with bright pink paint stopped in front of me, I was somewhat confused.The window rolled down, revealing Yvonne Carter sitting comfortably in the front passenger seat. She smiled sweetly and said, "Faith, I get carsick in the back. You won't mind, would you?"I looked down as I recalled the time I'd pleaded with Taylor to hang the little charm I'd crocheted by hand in his car.He'd responded impatiently, "That thing doesn't match my car's aesthetic. If anyone sees it, they're going to make fun of me."So, a pink car matched his aesthetic, then? Was that not embarrassing for him?I didn't say much. I quietly opened the rear door and got in.In the past, I probably would have made a scene and told Yvonne to get out. But now, I couldn't be bothered anymore.Even Taylor was surprised by my reaction and stopped ac

The moment I glanced at the message, the water had stopped running at some point. Taylor stood behind me and demanded coldly, "Why are you looking at my phone?""I'm not—ah!"He shoved me aside in anger. I lost my balance and fell hard to the floor. My arm scraped against the corner of the table, leaving a long gash, and my ankle was twisted.Immediately, tears fell from my eyes. Nevertheless, Taylor didn't hurry to comfort me. Instead, he thought I'd hurt myself on purpose to win his sympathy.With a look of irritation, he fetched the first-aid kit and began treating my wound. I didn't resist.Halfway through, his phone rang. It was Yvonne's custom ringtone.I once asked Taylor to set a custom ringtone for me, too. Yet, he'd claimed I was being childish.On the phone, Yvonne whined, "Taylor, I think I drank too much… I feel awful and can't sleep."Upon ending the call, Taylor didn't bother to finish tending to my wound. He simply grabbed the hangover medicine I had prepared an

Lately, Taylor would bring up our age gap every time we fought.Yes, compared to Yvonne, I wasn't a little girl anymore. Whenever he brought it up, I'd lose control. I'd yell and demand if he'd fallen for another girl. It only made him more irritated with me.Not this time, though. I replied indifferently, "I never thought that. You can believe whatever you want."Then I limped off to the guest room.Whenever we argued, Taylor would make me sleep in the guest room. If I resisted, he'd lock the door to the master bedroom and leave me crying outside.However, as I took the initiative this time, Taylor suddenly carried me back to the master bedroom."Faith, stop being so stubborn!"Even though we lay on the same bed, there was enough space between us to fit another person.Taylor was keeping his distance because of my swollen ankle, whereas I was keeping mine because I couldn't bear his touch anymore.It hadn't always been like this. I used to curl up in his arms every night for

The dress was clearly Yvonne's style. I even saw her post about liking it on her Instagram earlier."Faith, I thought you weren't mad. Then what's with the attitude now?"Hearing Taylor's accusation, I felt extremely exhausted. I didn't even want to explain anymore that I truly wasn't upset at him. So, I silently accepted the dress and hung it in the closet.As I lay on the bed and slowly drifted to sleep, a warm body pressed up against my back.Taylor wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. After a few kisses, he turned me to face him. Just as he was about to kiss my lips, I instinctively turned away and pushed him back.He sat up angrily, turning on the bedside lamp to look at me."Faith, are you done?"I used to love being intimate with Taylor, but he never liked it. Every time he touched me, it was only because he couldn't stand my pestering any longer.I turned my back to him and said, "I'm really tired today. I'm going to sleep."Taylor went quiet for a whil

Percy, however, looked a little puzzled as I'd never been this gracious before.Taylor never liked bringing me around his friends, and Percy had even helped cover for him when he hung out with Yvonne.Each time I found out, I'd cause a scene right in front of everyone, making things awkward and leaving Taylor even more annoyed with me.Beatrice sensed the tension and hurriedly linked her arm through mine to lead me to the table. I followed her and handed her the gift I'd prepared.She hadn't done anything wrong to me, and I couldn't ruin her birthday.During dinner, I noticed all the dishes were spicy. I forced down a few bites, even though they upset my stomach. When the discomfort grew worse, I got up and went to the restroom.Taylor glanced at me but quickly looked away.By the time I returned, I overheard him questioning Percy."I told you Yvonne can't have seafood. Why'd you order seafood chowder?"Percy said nothing. Beatrice responded instead, "I ordered it for Faith. S

"What did you say?"The living room was silent for a long moment before I finally heard Taylor speak, his voice strained."I said, let's get a divorce."His face was full of disbelief, as if he couldn't process such incredulous words from my mouth. After all, I had always been the one who couldn't let go of the relationship, not him.Without waiting for him to recover, I headed into the bedroom and came back with the divorce agreement that the lawyer had prepared.Taylor didn't take it, so I shoved it into his hands. It was better that he read it now than argue later.He glanced at it several times before angrily tearing it to shreds and throwing them into the air."Faith, are you insane? You actually want a divorce?"Taylor grabbed my shoulders, his eyes reddening as he stared at me.His grip hurt. I tried to shake him off but couldn't. So, I held his gaze and said calmly, "Didn't you bring it up first? I'm simply agreeing. Let's get it over with peacefully and go our own way

Taylor pushed me aside carelessly, and just as I was about to fall, a warm embrace caught me.I looked up to a familiar face—my childhood friend, Jordan Strauss, who had cut off contact with me after going abroad for his studies once I started dating Taylor.After I regained my balance, Jordan let go.Watching Taylor fuss over Yvonne, I felt utterly bored and left. Unexpectedly, Jordan and I were headed in the same direction.It turned out he had just returned to the country and was also invited by Willa to celebrate.The dinner was enjoyable. Besides Willa, Jordan knew my tastes best.Meanwhile, my phone kept lighting up with messages from Taylor, which I ignored. He was asking who Jordan was and when I would come home.He even said he'd packed the restaurant's signature dish for me and was sure I would like it. And I did. After all, I had the same dish sitting right in front of me.When I finished my meal, Taylor seemed to have lost patience. He called me and spoke gently, "B

Chapter 8

Taylor and I had been married for ten years, yet it was only when we were about to divorce that he'd finally started paying attention to my preferences and needs.I ate everything on my plate expressionlessly. When I finished, Taylor obediently washed the dishes.Suddenly, I remembered a time when Taylor brought friends over for dinner. They had ordered many dishes, and I spent hours cooking alone. Taylor hadn't helped at all.Even when Yvonne offered to help me, he'd commented mockingly, "Your hands are so delicate. You're not supposed to do such rough work?"I had stared blankly at my hands. Before marriage, my hands were just as delicate, but after marrying Taylor, they had become rough and calloused.One time, Yvonne had proudly worn my wedding ring and asked Taylor who it looked better on. Taylor had said it was her. Then, Yvonne had smirked at me jeeringly.When I tried to snatch the ring back, Taylor had scolded me for being petty."It's just a ring," he'd said.Thinking

As soon as Yvonne was done yelling, Taylor loosened his grip on my hand and turned to punch Jordan, who had just caught up.Jordan's cheek immediately swelled, and a trickle of blood fell from the corner of his mouth.He chuckled and said, "You took Faith for granted. Now that she's divorcing you, you come at me as her husband? Taylor, have you got no shame?"Then, Jordan and Taylor started fighting.When they were nearly done, I stepped in to pull them apart and carefully checked Jordan's injuries.Taylor's eyes instantly turned red. Before, whenever he got even the slightest injury, I would grow frantic and worry about him. But now that he was hurt, I didn't care anymore.Seeing Jordan hurt made my heart ache for some reason, and tears slipped down my cheeks. In the end, Jordan comforted me instead."Faith, I'm your husband! You'd care about an outsider over me?" Taylor's voice trembled with anger.I gathered myself and faced Taylor. "We're getting a divorce. Besides, what Yv

I struggled hard to break free from Taylor's grip. Watching him stubbornly guard my door, I said nothing and headed straight to Jordan's place.Just before closing the door, I caught sight of Taylor's red-rimmed eyes and trembling fingers. Then, he pressed his hand against the door to prevent it from shutting."You still don't believe me, do you? I'll make you believe how determined I am. Would you believe me if I took my heart out for you?"I saw a twisted smile appear on his face as he pulled a knife from his pocket.My eyes widened as a bad feeling crept in. The next second, just as I feared, Taylor tried to stab himself in the chest."Faith, you'll believe me."The knife pierced his chest, but he couldn't go any further. I looked up at Jordan, who had grabbed the knife's blade with a frown to stop Taylor from hurting himself."Taylor, I won't let Faith feel guilty because of you. Be a man and don't make things so hard for her!"With that, Jordan threw the knife aside.Nerv
