Chapter 1

Lumina Walker, cool and untouchable ice queen. At her height of obsession over her boyfriend Jackson Hunter, she secretly took out a loan worth millions to pay off his debts. No one knew—not even her family. As part of the deal, she had to take a nude video as collateral. She even went so far as to perform stripteases at a bar for extra cash.Late at night, Lumina stood before raucous men screaming for her name. Her eyes turned red as she slowly removed her clothes, her body swaying in a seductive dance. When the performance ended, she was left with nothing but a few scraps of fabric. As soon as she left the stage, Jackson, who had been waiting in the crowd, quickly wrapped his black trench coat around her. He led her into a cramped backstage room and pushed her against the door."Shush. Stay still. I want you." In the darkness, Jackson's rough hands skillfully pulled down her underwear and he went into her from behind.Lumina gasped uncontrollably and looked back in terror.

Chapter 2

Howard was surprised by how readily Lumina agreed on the other end of the line. His cold, stern expression broke into a smile."Have you finally come to your senses? I'm doing this for your good, you know? If the Morgans' eldest son hadn't suddenly lost his voice five years ago, he would've become the family's official heir by now! You're coming back to Crown City tomorrow. I'll take you to them to discuss the wedding."Lumina's lips curled in a cold smile. Her face remained expressionless.Everyone in the capital knew that after Cadmus Morgan lost his voice, he was no longer favored by Margaret, the matriarch of the Morgan family. Lumina didn't answer Howard directly and instead said, "I'll marry him, but you have to agree to two conditions. Firstly, I need seven days. Secondly, I want all of my father's belongings. Every single one of them. You won't keep even one of them."She needed seven days to say goodbye to her best friend and to find a way to erase the nude video from Ja

Chapter 3

"That's what you get for infuriating me! I'm going to ruin you right this instant! No matter what I do, Mr. Hunter will always cover for me!" Celia sneered. Stab!The skewer drove into Lumina's scalp. It was so painful that Lumina shuddered—she almost cried. Anger flared up inside her. She grabbed a skewer from the table, raising it to strike Celia's face in retaliation. Right before the skewer could hit Celia's face, however, Jackson caught her wrist.His grip was tight, his tone cold as he said, "Miss Price didn't do anything to you. Why are you hurting her?"Lumina looked up at the uncaring man, blood streaming down her face. Her voice trembled as she said indignantly, "She didn't do anything to me? Look at my face and my head! Who do you think did this?"Jackson paused, frowning slightly. "It's just a couple of scratches. Put a bandage on it and you'll be fine. She has Mr. Hunt's protection. If you hurt her on purpose, you'll be the one to suffer in the end. I'm stopping yo

Chapter 4

As soon as Lumina finished speaking, she was met with a savage barrage of punches and kicks. Her body was already quite frail; before long, she collapsed on the ground and lost consciousness completely.When she woke up again, she found herself back in the hospital bed, though she didn't know who had moved her there. Jackson sat beside her, his expression cold. "I told you not to mess with Celia. She's got someone to protect her. Now that her guardian has taught you a lesson, have you finally learned from your mistake?"Lumina was stunned for a moment, then suddenly started laughing through her tears.She had nothing but hate.She hated that she had loved the wrong person, hated that she devoted everything to her first relationship. In the end, she didn't meet someone worthy at all!Jackson watched Lumina sob quietly. For some reason, he felt a twinge of regret. But Lumina had nearly destroyed Celia's family in the past years. How could he feel any sympathy for a woman so brut

Chapter 5

Jackson went into the living room and messaged his secretary, Ashley. "She agreed. Decorate the wedding venue in the next two days."While Jackson was away, Lumina quickly found her nude videos on his computer. With trembling hands, she deleted them and replaced them with evidence she had gathered over the years—proof of Celia's bullying of her and the truth behind the rooftop fall.Finally, she renamed the new file to match the original nude videos.Just as she finished, she received a call from a courier. He said her package was at the door. After Lumina opened the door, someone struck her hard on the shoulder, and she instantly blacked out. In the darkness, two men dragged her away.An hour later, in an abandoned factory…When Lumina came to, she found herself hanging five meters above the ground. The floor beneath her was covered in a dense layer of sharp, broken glass. Three thugs stood on the ground below.Suspended next to her was Celia, who burst into terrified tears

Chapter 6

When Lumina opened her eyes again, the familiar smell of disinfectant filled her nose. She had been lying in the hospital for two days, undergoing repeated stomach pumping.Jackson hadn't come to see her once.It wasn't until night fell that a shadowy figure approached her bedside. Jackson, dressed in all black, looked at Lumina, his eyes showing a hint of concern. "How did you get hurt, Lumi?"Lumina stared at the man before her, her throat dry and her body trembling. Just as she was about to speak, Jackson's phone vibrated. She glanced over. The message was from someone saved as "Captain.""Sir, are you sure you want to spend one hundred thousand to promote the Lumina video?"Lumina frowned and instinctively gripped the bed sheet. "Who messaged you?"Jackson slipped his phone into his pocket and ruffled Lumina's hair with a gentle smile. "Just some spam. We're getting married tomorrow, Lumi. Don't overthink it."Lumina dug her fingernails into her palm and clenched her teeth

Chapter 7

At the wedding venue, Jackson frowned as he checked his phone again and again with a glare. After Lumina left for the restroom, she never came back. He sent her messages, but there was no reply. He called, but her phone was off.It was totally out of character for her.In the past, Lumina would always reply and pick up his calls instantly. And now, at such a crucial moment like their wedding, she wasn't answering or messaging back.Jackson's friends glanced at his phone and joked without care."Don't worry, Jackson. Lumina's not answering because she's off preparing a surprise for you.""Yeah! Anyone can see she's dying to marry you. There's no way she'd run out on the day of her dream wedding.""Forget about her. Isn't today's main character Celia? Why hasn't she shown up yet?"At that moment, Celia entered wearing a long white dress, smiling sweetly. She looked around calmly, but she was bursting with joy inside. She had even boasted to her friends before leaving home that a

Chapter 8

The big screen started to play the video as everyone watched with skepticism.But…To everyone's shock, it wasn't Lumina's video. Instead, it was ninety-nine separate clips showing Celia abusing Lumina!The first video—in eighth grade, on the rooftop, Celia ordered her followers to pin Lumina down while she used a knife to cut Lumina's calf ninety-nine times.The second video—in ninth grade, on the rooftop, Celia was laughing wildly as she stuffed slips of paper into Lumina's eyes.More and more videos followed, each as awful as the last. Finally, the ninety-ninth video. During their junior year in college, Celia's lackeys forced Lumina to swallow a cigarette butt while Celia tried to record, only to slip and fall herself.The entire wedding hall went dead silent as these scenes played.After a long moment, someone began to whisper."Didn't Jackson claim that Lumina hurt Celia all these years? Why are all the videos showing the opposite? That Lumina is on the receiving end?

Chapter 9

A savage ferocity like never before flashed in Jackson's eyes.He grabbed Celia by the throat in a flash and slammed her head hard against the wall, twice.Crash! Bang!Blood streamed down Celia's face from the bloody wound on her head."If you really knew me, you'd know that I hate being lied to the most! I'm terminating all business relationships with the Price family. They raised a monster…and it's always the parents' fault for raising a monster. Your father owes me an explanation!"Jackson's simple words left Celia's face pale with terror. "Don't involve my father in this! Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it!"At the mention of her father, the psychological and physical torment from him made Celia forget the pain in her head. "I'll contact my high school and college classmates right now and have them tell you the truth!"Secretly, Celia felt a bit of relief. She had bribed her classmates long ago. Even if Jackson checked with them, he would find nothing. Jackson shot

Chapter 10

A black Maybach pulled up in front of the rental. Jackson walked in hastily. As soon as he opened the door, a chill greeted him.Nothing much had changed in the house, yet something was obviously missing. Jackson's brows furrowed tightly as he opened a drawer. All of Lumina's identification documents were gone. Her carefully tended tomato plant was missing from the balcony, too.Everything else remained, but Jackson felt hollow inside.He walked to the study and remembered the day Lumina had mentioned preparing a surprise for him at the wedding, and that she had needed to use his computer. Clearly, she had already known that he had an agenda for getting close to her.Jackson looked to Ashley, hope flickering in his voice. "Any word on Lumi's whereabouts?"Ashley shook her head cautiously. "Nothing yet, sir."Jackson lowered his gaze, opened a bottle, and took it all down. Then, he stared at the couch. The cover was sewn by Lumina herself.When they had first moved in, he h
