Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mrs. Without a License: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 7

"Ms. Lucille, I've already checked it three times, but that doesn't change the fact that your marriage status is listed as 'unmarried.'" The employee sounded impatient, causing the other people around to shoot us curious looks.I tightened my grip on my marriage certificate. My voice quavered as I said, "That's not possible. My husband gave me this marriage certificate himself. We even made our vows before God, promising that we would remain loyal to each other. Today is our third wedding anniversary…"The employee looked at me with pity. "Ms. Lucille, it seems you've been tricked. According to the information you provided, your so-called husband, Lucas Yates, is already married. The woman registered as his spouse is one Yelena Jackman."My mind went blank. "No, that's impossible! Yelena is in a coma. How could she possibly marry Lucas? There must have been a mistake when you were inputting the information!"Growing exasperated, the employee replied, "Ms. Lucille, we cannot reveal

Yelena was drunk, so Lucas wanted to leave with her first. Before he did, he told me, "I'll take Yelena home first, then come back later to pick you up. Wait for me."He looked at me intently, unease swirling in his eyes."Okay," I answered. After that, I waited outside the bar for the entire night, yet there was no sign of him."He must have forgotten about me," I thought with a self-mocking laugh.I returned home to grab my luggage. Yet the moment I opened the door, I spotted Yelena stepping out of my room wearing my pajamas.My fingers curled into tight fists, the nails digging deep into my palms. I had known that Yelena would eventually move in, but I still couldn't help but be upset when I actually saw it happen.I moved to step past her so I could get my luggage, but she blocked the doorway. "What are you doing here? I'm the true lady of this house and Lucas' legal wife. You, on the other hand, are nothing but a filthy, shameless mistress. How dare you come back here? For

Lucas stared numbly at the screen, his eyes quickly becoming bloodshot. My last sentence before I fell into the ocean kept ringing in his ears. "Sorry, but I have a flight to catch. I'm in a hurry to leave Lucas."He knew then that I had been willing to do anything to leave him—even die.The agony and despair that came from that realization made his legs go weak, and he slowly dropped to his knees.His subordinates were dumbfounded. Never had they expected the leader of Devil's Advocate, who had always been so strong and terrifying, to actually have such a weak side to him.However, they were also well aware that I had stood by Lucas' side for the past decade and had helped him build Devil's Advocate. To him, I was even more important than the entire organization.All of a sudden, something seemed to occur to Lucas. He jumped into his car and sped toward the bridge I had fallen off of.The scene of the incident was a mess, with search and rescue workers scouring the place. Luca

Stroking my head, Michael murmured, "I have to say, Lucas is quite ruthless. Yelena almost died saving his life, yet he showed her no mercy when punishing her."I didn't care about what was going on with Lucas and Yelena now—none of that had anything to do with me anymore.Still, I couldn't help but pity Yelena to some extent. Lucas shouldn't have put all the blame on her. After all, he himself was the biggest reason why I left.I didn't care about Yelena, so she couldn't harm me. But I had loved Lucas dearly, so the pain he caused me cut unimaginably deep.Thankfully, I no longer had any feelings for him. Nothing he did could hurt me anymore.Taking a deep breath, I curled my lips into a smile. "Michael, you don't have to tell me any news about them from now on. I just want to focus on myself right now. I want to live every day well, not be stuck in the past."Michael returned my smile. "Actually, I don't want to keep an eye on Lucas anymore either. Since you're no longer with h
