Chapter 1

After six years of marriage, Beverly Sinclair discovers that her husband's love and devotion were nothing but lies. She couldn't understand how Evan Gray could be such a good actor. He claimed he loved her more than life itself, but could this really be considered love?And so, she decided to leave him. She made a call and said, "Chief Bronson, please take me back to the team as soon as possible.""Bev, Evan will probably lose his mind if you suddenly go missing," James Bronson said, sounding a little surprised. He knew Beverly and Evan had been married for six years. They even had a son together.Their life was picture-perfect, and Evan loved Beverly more than anyone could imagine."He doesn't matter anymore." Beverly tightened her grip on her phone."Alright, then. It was a huge loss to the organization when you decided to leave. Give us a month at most to make the arrangements. When the time comes, 'Beverly Sinclair' will disappear from the face of the earth, and 'Cipher' will

Chapter 2

Beverly walked out of the kindergarten. When the butler, Alfred Smith, saw that she wasn't in the best of spirits, he asked, "Where are you headed, Mrs. Gray? I'll drive you there."Where could she go? None of her family members were around anymore. There was only one place she could go.She said, "I'm fine on my own."Alfred watched her leave, feeling like something was wrong. At that moment, his phone rang.A maid's horrified voice came from the other end of the line as she cried, "Mrs. Gray has discovered Mr. Gray's secret!"She'd been stunned by the mess left in the study.Upon hearing her words, Alfred immediately called Heather Monroe, Evan's mother, and informed her about it.…Beverly got into her Porsche Panamera and drove off. She sped along the highway, leaving the bustling city behind as she went deep into the mountains.Meanwhile, Evan and Cindy were getting it on in the CEO's lounge at Gray Corporation. At that moment, Evan's phone, which he'd placed on the night

Chapter 3

Cindy scrambled out of the car and fell to her knees before Beverly. She cried, "Beverly, please ask Mrs. Gray Senior not to chase me away!"The rear window rolled down, and Harold poked his head out. "Mom, why did you badmouth Cindy to Grandma?"He was blaming her for this.Beverly looked at Cindy as she kneeled on the muddy ground, looking utterly aggrieved. It was clear why the latter had shown up there with Harold—she wanted to drive a wedge between him and Beverly."Don't shout at your mother, Harry. She would never badmouth anyone." Evan's voice rang out protectively, and Beverly turned to meet his tender gaze.She would've been moved to bits if she didn't know the truth. But now, she just found him laughable."Why would Grandma want to chase Cindy away if Mom didn't say anything to her? She must have done something!" Harold refused to listen to reason. He got out of the car and pulled Cindy to her feet, saying, "Get up, Cindy. Your clothes are wet."Beverly watched as he

Chapter 4

"What's wrong, honey?" Evan asked. Despite his confusion, he was so used to following Beverly's every command that he immediately turned the car around."I left something in the Panamera." Beverly's eyes gleamed coldly."Oh, okay." Evan smiled.He'd stood by and watched icily as his mistress was chased off, and he could put on such a loving act when facing Beverly now. His performance was truly flawless.Beverly couldn't help thinking that he was becoming more of a stranger the more she learned about him.They soon pulled into the garage at Gray Manor. Evan opened the door and said, "I'll get whatever it is you need, honey.""Okay. It's a dark gray hair clip," Beverly said.Once Evan was gone, Beverly glanced at Harold, who'd fallen asleep beside her in the backseat after all that crying. Then, she got out of the car too.She headed inside the manor and went to the backyard's entrance hall, hiding behind the thick drapes that framed the door.In the hall, Cindy stood behind He

Chapter 5

The noise in the private room came to an abrupt halt. Everyone turned to look at Beverly as horror crept onto their faces.Evan instantly grabbed Cindy's wrist and shoved her off the couch, making her fall to the floor. He snarled, "There's no point pleading with me. No one can change my mother's mind once she's decided on something. Besides, you misled Harry and hurt Beverly. I'm already going easy on you by not doing anything to you!"He sounded cold and ruthless.Cindy collapsed on the floor in a disheveled mess. The pain from her wrist and legs made her wince, and she gave Beverly a resentful look."Yes, that's right! You taught Harry the wrong thing and upset Beverly! Evan's already been merciful enough by letting you off without a lesson!"Everyone sighed in relief and started speaking up for Beverly."You went too far with what you did. It's bad enough that you misled Harry—how could you hurt Beverly too?""Don't be upset, Beverly.""Evan loves you so much—there's no way

Chapter 6

Harold's words were like a knife that stabbed Beverly right in the heart. She watched as her son kneeled before her for the sake of the woman who'd seduced her husband and destroyed her family.Her breathing grew erratic from her heartache, and her voice shook. "What did you say?""You have so many pieces of jewelry that you'd never be able to go through all of them, Mom. What's the big deal about giving Cindy a ring?" Harold said with a pout, completely oblivious to his wrongdoing. "Besides, you keep saying that you want to reward her for taking such good care of me. I just did it on your behalf."That day, after coming back from kindergarten, Cindy had been absolutely delighted by the ring when she'd seen it in the entryway. She'd even said that it was something she would never be able to afford in this lifetime, which Harold had found pitiful.Beverly had always told him to be generous to the people around him, so why was she now mad at him for this?Beverly had to place a hand

Chapter 7

"Cindy has a daughter?" Beverly stood up from the massage chair.When Janet saw that Beverly was interested, she retrieved the torn pieces of the photo and put them together so the image was complete. She said, "I was packing Cindy's things today when I came across a photo album. The pictures inside recorded this little girl's growth. She has short hair, and for a split second, I thought she was Mr. Harold." She smiled in embarrassment, but it only made Beverly's already pale face lose even more color.Beverly grasped Janet's hand. "Get me the photo album."Just then, Evan's voice came from outside the room. "What do you need, honey?"She slowly turned to look at him as he stood at the door. The warm lights and silk pajamas he wore softened his sharp features and presence. As for the suit he'd worn to the club earlier, he'd ordered a maid to throw it out as Beverly watched.Even so, Beverly didn't want to say any more to him than necessary. "It's nothing."She swept the piece

Chapter 8

Harold ran downstairs, glaring at Beverly. "I won't let you do that! Daddy, this is the house you designed yourself! My toys, my slide, my pool, and the swing that Cindy built for me in the backyard… I like everything about this house, and I don't want Mom to ruin it!"Beverly looked at him emotionlessly, making him duck behind Evan a little fearfully. As far as he remembered, she'd always looked at him gently and lovingly. She'd never fixed him with such a cold gaze.He couldn't help feeling diffident. Could it be that Beverly had found out that he was secretly meeting Cindy after class that day?He shrank back and whispered to Evan, "Daddy, talk to Mom."Evan smiled gently and rubbed Harold's head. "Look at how your mother marked the calendar for your birthday. She's smashing everything so we can renovate for the celebration. Besides, someone new will be joining our family soon. It's high time we changed the layout of the villa. That's your plan, right, honey?"Beverly gave a no

Chapter 9

Beverly blanched and clenched a fist when she saw Evan. Had he heard her?To her surprise, he looked unfazed. Only then did she remember that he'd personally designed her office—it had been built with the same materials used for the CEO's office, so the soundproofing was top-notch. Usually, when she was inside, she couldn't hear anything that happened outside.That calmed her, but Camelia suddenly flew off the handle. "What the hell is going on between you and Cindy Beech, Evan?"Beverly was so startled that she paled. Meanwhile, Evan frowned, looking confused. "Cindy? And me?"Beverly grabbed Camelia's hand and hurriedly said, "C-Cammy heard about whatever's going on between Cindy and Calvin. You're supposed to be her distant relative. Why didn't you do anything to restrain her?"Camelia looked at her in surprise. She only realized what was happening when she saw Beverly clenching her jaw anxiously. It was clear the latter didn't want Evan to know that she'd already discovered hi

Chapter 10

Evan stared at Beverly in shock. "Honey, what's wrong?"They always gave each other goodbye kisses. It wasn't convenient to do that while Beverly was seated in the car, so he'd leaned in for a forehead kiss."Nothing!" Beverly grabbed a tissue to wipe her forehead. "You'll smear my makeup."He bought the lie and leaned in again to say, "Drive safe, honey. Remember to let me know when you're back at the office."He checked his watch. "I need to sign a contract. Let's pick up Harry together after work before heading back to Gray Manor. Mom was delighted when she heard that we're moving in with her. She told the chefs to cook all your favorites."Beverly glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Calvin waiting for Evan by the roadside. She said, "Alright."Evan watched as Beverly drove off before walking to an SUV. Calvin got in with him.The vehicle smoothly joined the rest of the traffic and made its way to Nordo Villas. There, Cindy stood at the door of a villa, waiting to greet th
