Chapter 1

I followed Marcus Miller out of the courthouse. Rachel Cooper, my sister-in-law, had been waiting outside the building and dashed over in a hurry. "Where's the divorce certificate? Show me! Don't even try to fool me! Otherwise, I'll jump into a river, and Barry's child will die!"Marcus wore a helpless expression. He snatched the divorce certificate from me before comforting Rachel gently. "I've really divorced Vivian. Why would I lie to you? You're about to give birth soon. Why don't you stay at home and take it easy?"Rachel went through the divorce certificate carefully before grinning. Then, she lifted her chin defiantly and looked at me, smiling with pride."That's what I'm talking about. Now, I can take it easy for the rest of my pregnancy."I let out a laugh as well, but I couldn't help but feel bitter. Ever since Barry Miller, Marcus' older brother, passed away, Rachel's emotions had been extremely unstable. This time, all I did was accidentally spill her oatmeal. R

Marcus continued, "Besides, we still need to prepare a lot of things for the baby. With Vivian around, you can take it easy during your pregnancy. You don't have to worry too much, right?"Rachel pouted before glaring at me. Then, she forced herself to reply, "Fine. You can stay at the Miller residence for now. You still can't ride in his car, so just hail a cab!"He pursed his lips and seemed conflicted. He looked at me helplessly. "Vivian…"There he went again. It was as if whatever Rachel said was final.For the past nine months, no matter how outrageous Rachel's demands were, Marcus always wanted me to compromise. Today, I couldn't even get into his car. I merely smiled and stepped back, saying calmly, "I'll take a cab home."Rachel got into the passenger's seat, looking very proud of herself. Marcus sneakily held my hand and looked at me guiltily. "Rachel's just too anxious during her pregnancy. We must be more considerate of her. "After all, she's pregnant with Barry's

As for Marcus, his hand was on Rachel's stomach. His gaze was filled with love. As soon as he noticed me, panic flashed through his eyes. He quickly removed his hand and explained to me. "Vivian, the baby will be born soon. We don't have enough wardrobes at home, so I decided to use yours first. Please put up with this for now. Once the baby's born, I'll arrange for a larger walk-in wardrobe for you."A newborn baby didn't even know how to walk. Did he really need that many shoes? Besides, there were way more clothes for the baby than I had. Although it sounded ridiculous, I wasn't in the mood to argue. Since I was leaving tomorrow, I didn't care whose walk-in wardrobe it was. "Suit yourself."Marcus secretly sighed in relief and flashed me a gentle smile. "I'm glad you're not angry. I'm so lucky to have married such a gentle and generous wife like you."While smiling, he instinctively hung an apron around my neck. "You had no idea. We're exhausted from arranging all this st

After saying all that, Marcus slammed the kitchen door hard. I looked at my bruised knees and the grip marks on my wrist. Rachel gripped my wrist so hard that I had to shake her off. However, I hadn't used much strength, which made it odd that she had fallen.Getting up on my feet, I tried to open the door. I realized that Marcus had locked the kitchen door. I was instantly in a daze. Then, I couldn't stop myself from crying, not from sadness but from regret.I regretted giving up everything to marry Marcus. I regretted staying by his side as he built his business from scratch and endured all the hardships together.However, he chose to hurt me over and over again for Rachel. Grandpa was right—Marcus wasn't a worthy husband.…I was locked in the kitchen for two hours. Since my phone was outside, I had no way of calling for help. I could only remain inside and suffer.Eventually, I heard Marcus and Rachel giggling and shouting playfully at each other. A few minutes later, M

Grandpa wiped the tears away from my cheeks. Then, he followed my line of sight and finally stared at Marcus. He immediately lost his temper and banged his cane against the floor. "It's indeed time for me to withdraw my investment. How could you bully my granddaughter?"Back then, Vivian liked you so much that she was willing to endure hardships. She was willing to stay by your side as you built your business from scratch. "She didn't want to bruise your ego, so she purposely begged me to give you a chance to collaborate. If she hadn't spoken up for you, did you think I would even consider a small company like yours?"Upon hearing Grandpa, Marcus panicked but asked with a wry smile, "Mr. Perry, could you be mistaken?"Next to Marcus was Rachel, who burst out laughing before looking at Grandpa smugly. "We don't need to ingratiate ourselves with you. Marcus is a brilliant man. He's recognized as the most promising young chairman. "You're already so old, but Marcus is only in his

"Vivian, hear me out, please? I know I was wrong for rearranging your walk-in wardrobe without your permission. But Rachel's pregnant now. Shouldn't you prioritize her in everything?"Thanks to your stubbornness, the company lost a significant investment. But that's fine. I'll forgive you if you convince your grandfather to continue the collaboration with me."Before I could even give Marcus a piece of my mind, he sent me another text. "I'm at your house. Let's talk for a bit."How did Marcus find this place?A few seconds later, I turned off my screen and headed downstairs. After all, I would feel better if I could tell Marcus off in person. As soon as I opened the front door, I noticed him crouching next to a tree. He instantly looked up at the sound of the door, and his eyes lit up. "Vivian!" He jogged toward me and grabbed my hand. "I knew you loved me too much to even abandon me."I didn't break free of his grip. I wanted to see how thick-skinned he could get. "Hear me

"Marcus, I'm disgusted to see you now!" As soon as I said that, Marcus actually tugged at my hand and looked at me pleadingly with bloodshot eyes. He spoke hoarsely. "I'm sorry, Vivian. It's probably because Rachel's pregnant with my late brother's baby. "That's why I paid more attention to her and ended up neglecting your feelings. It was my fault. I know that now."But I'm really at my wits' end. The company doesn't have enough cash to turn things around. If we don't have the investment, I'm completely done for. "I can't accept a world where I lose everything, nor can I accept a future without you… Vivian, I really love you…""Love me?" I repeated in disbelief before chuckling to myself. "Alright! Since you love me, you must make it up to me."Arrive at the shrine before 6:00 am, and I'll consider what you just said. 100 steps, okay? Remember not to skip any steps.""Sure! Alright! As long as this makes you feel better, I'll go." Marcus got up in a panic. He looked at me me

"Prepare a summary first. Let me see how much you still remember from your lessons."I chuckled a few times before quickly taking a seat opposite Anthony. However, before I could flip open the documents, someone grabbed my wrist tightly. "Vivian, is he the reason you refuse to forgive me? Are you having an affair with another man?"It was none other than Marcus. His arms and legs were covered in bruises. He probably fell several times while climbing the stairs last night. Right now, his gaze toward me was filled with rage. I shook his hand off before slapping him, saying, "Stop talking nonsense! Don't forget that we were already divorced long ago!"Marcus covered his cheek as he came to his senses. His gaze was filled with disbelief. "Vivian! I never ever thought you'd become like this, but that's okay."He took a few deep breaths to calm down before continuing, "Just listen to what I've to say. Seeing you near other men just makes me feel like I'm about to go nuts."I was wro

Chapter 9

Marcus lay in Rachel's arms and forced a smile. "Rachel…"Rachel wiped her tears away before declaring fiercely. "Nothing will happen to you!""Rachel… You always considered me as Barry's replacement, so you kept interfering with my life. Barry's gone, so taking care of you and the baby became my responsibility. But I can't let you harm Vivian… It's all my fault. I understood everything too late…"I stood not far away as I met Marcus' gaze with a conflicted expression. Meanwhile, Anthony pulled me into his embrace and comforted me gently. "Don't worry. The ambulance and police will be here very soon."…Three minutes later, the ambulance arrived to take Marcus to the hospital. As for the two men lying on the ground, they were declared dead before the doctors could even tend to them.As for Rachel, she was taken to the police station on the account of murder. Since Anthony and I were witnesses, we headed there as well.Based on our statements and the cafe's surveillance footage,
