Chapter 1

“Did Mrs. Ronan just slink off to the guest room like that? If she has to listen to them through the walls tonight, won’t she die of a heartbreak?”“You want to help her or something? Didn’t you see how much Mr. Ronan dotes on Ms. Jessica? Mrs. Ronan is nothing to him now. You should know better who to flatter.”“True, Mr. Ronan and Ms. Jessica is a perfect match.”I cradled my child, Holly, as I pushed boxes out of the master bedroom into the guest room.My eyes searched for help, but no one offered it.On the fifth day after my diagnosis, Pierce Ronan planned to sleep with Jessica Stone in our marital bedroom.The housemaids carefully removed every trace of me. Photos of us, our bedsheets, and the little tokens of our life together were all quickly stored away.They replaced the bedsheets, brought in Jessica’s personal belongings, and the couple’s wedding photo.Pierce swept his cold gaze over the room, not sparing me a single glance.He knelt by the sofa, tenderly feeding s

Five days ago, I was diagnosed with brain cancer with only seven days to live.I had told Pierce about the cancer, but he hadn’t believed me. He claimed I was just copying Jessica, mocking her.Since he didn’t believe me, I had stopped explaining.The pounding pain in my head left me limp and powerless, my body heavy as lead. Half-conscious, I heard a knock at the door.When I opened it, I saw that Pierce had sent the senior maid, Margery Higgins, to deliver a bouquet of everlasting gold roses.He even had Margery relay a message that the flowers were compensation for giving up the master bedroom and for taking Holly away from me.Margery was the only person in the villa who still truly cared for me. She forced a smile, hiding her distaste for Jessica, as she tried to console me.“Mr. Ronan has just been blinded by that vixen. Giving you such an expensive gift shows he still has you in his heart.“Maybe after this, everything will be fine again. Be strong and just endure a

“It’s nothing. I’m just preparing for Holly’s one-month celebration.”Pierce seemed slightly surprised at my composure. Then something seemed to click in his mind.“You just had to turn this into a competition, didn't you? Well, my gift will definitely be just as good as yours.”He was referring to the bet we made during my pregnancy. It was about whose gift would be more precious and heartfelt for Holly's one-month celebration. We'd agreed to let her choose between them, and whoever's gift she picked would determine whether she said “Mom” or “Dad” first.I knew he had misunderstood, but I didn’t bother to explain. He’d figure it out soon enough.His voice seemed to fill with warmth as he thought of the once-happy moments when we were a family of three.“Alright, stop trying to secretly outdo me. Hurry home, I’ve got a surprise waiting for you.”After hanging up, I returned home. The moment I pushed open the maid’s room door, I saw yet another towering bouquet of preserved r

As Jessica spoke, she pulled a knife from her side and stabbed it into her shoulder. Blood gushed out instantly.She threw the knife at my feet, then lunged forward to snatch Holly from my arms. We grappled, shoving each other until we stumbled toward the window.Jessica shrieked sharply, “Pass Holly to me, Lorien! Your life is yours to end, but don’t take Holly with you!”“What madness is this?” I fought back desperately, voice shaking.The struggle grew louder and more chaotic. Holly was terrified and burst into wailing cries.Seeing that Jessica was about to rip Holly from my arms, I readied myself to kick her away.But suddenly, out of nowhere, Pierce appeared and slammed me to the ground with a brutal kick of his own. He snatched Holly from me in one rough motion.“How dare you lay a finger on Jessica!”My head slammed against the corner of the wall. A sharp pain exploded in my skull. It must have been the tumor. The doctors had warned me that once it ruptured,

Yet all of that had been nothing but a dying dream, born of my last obsession.Truly, Pierce never realized I had died.As my life faded, my soul drifted out of my body.I floated aimlessly for a long while, not knowing where to go, not knowing what awaited me.Just as I wandered, lost and purposeless, the scene suddenly shifted.I saw the hospital room.Pierce sat faithfully by Jessica’s bedside, watching as she slowly awoke. Tears glimmered in his eyes as he endlessly murmured gratitude to the heavens.His eyes were red, his figure disheveled, and he clung to her as if he had snatched her from the jaws of death.“Thank God you’re safe. I don’t think I could bear losing you again, Jessica,” he whispered.Jessica saw his tearful eyes, and gently wrapped her arms around him as she murmured, “I’m fine, Pierce. I’m still here. You will never lose me. We’ll always be together, forever.”In the room, the television kept broadcasting their story.Pierce had summoned top speciali

When I first discovered Pierce had lied to me, I believed it was because he had fallen for Jessica.At the time, I lamented that this gentle, attentive man who had once loved me had merely been pretending all along.He had performed every act of affection, but at his core, he was just like any despicable man; rotten to the bone.Yet now, I heard something that shook me to the core.Could it be that his moral compass was still intact? Could it be that he still felt shame?Was it just that he knew I would never leave him, so he recklessly dared to cheat right before my eyes?But this willful betrayal, knowing full well it was wrong, sickened me even more than simple cruelty.Pierce believed he had made himself perfectly clear, but Jessica stubbornly clung to him.“So you’re really just going to stand by and watch me marry someone else? We clearly love each other, so why can’t we be together?“You and Lorien only got married on a whim through an arranged meeting. There’s no real

Pierce suddenly burst into anger.“Is this how you all neglected her? Did you forget she’s the lady of this house?”The maids all lowered their heads, falling into a nervous hush, none daring to respond. Only Margery watched Pierce.“Sir, you told us to make Mrs. Ronan think about what she had done, so you ordered all her belongings removed and said she should live under the most basic conditions,” she stammered.“We were just following your instructions.”Pierce stiffened. His whole body trembled as he pointed at the bloodstains on the wall.“Then what about the blood on the wall?”Margery sighed heavily.“Sir, I told you before, Mrs. Ronan kept banging her head against the wall. You told us not to intervene.”Pierce’s hand trembled violently as he gripped the doorframe. He shook his head repeatedly, panic filling his eyes.And I, standing apart from the crowd, watched his nervous, guilty act with a gaze already grown cold.The air turned deathly still. For a long t

Chapter 8

I had told Pierce the day I was first diagnosed with cancer.But he brought Jessica straight into our home anyway, declaring he wanted to marry her, that he needed to make it up to her.He was the one who made me look like a madwoman who only spoke about dying, when I learned he had cheated, not Jessica.Yet he used his made-up ability, this nonsense about seeing people’s lifespans, to claim that I was lying, that I was just putting on airs, bullying poor Jessica, the one who was supposedly dying.But it was he who chose not to believe.When Pierce arrived at the hospital and couldn’t find me, he rushed around, questioning every doctor he could, desperate for any clue to my whereabouts.By pure chance, he bumped into Dr. Watson.Pierce’s eyes lit up with hope. “Lorien — which room is she in? I’m here to see her.”Dr. Watson paused, his face tightening with a look of regret. “And you’re just now showing up?” His voice brimmed with quiet disdain.“W-what do you mean?” Pierce’s

Chapter 9

Pierce cremated my body and returned home cradling the urn — yet surprisingly, he didn’t go looking for Jessica first.Yet she saved him the time by walking right into his hands.Pierce’s gaze darkened as he looked at Jessica.She wore a delicate Chanel-inspired outfit, her makeup perfectly done, making her look even more dazzling and seductive.The chilling look in his eyes startled her for a moment, but she dismissed it before she ran over to wrap her arms around him affectionately.“Pierce, I’ve decided I won’t force you to marry me. I won’t come between you and Lorien again. I’ll never marry.“I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait until the day you change your mind and decide to marry me. I’ll do whatever you ask. You just have to say it.”“Anything?” Pierce’s gaze swept over her, as if he were about to devour her whole.But Jessica had not caught the look and still smiled sweetly at him. “Of course! For you, I’d gladly do it.”“Good. Then wait patiently for me.” Pierce patted he
