บททั้งหมดของ My Husband and His Other Wife: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

By the end of the night, Lina had piled up a small mountain of gifts she’d carefully hand-picked. I only bothered to choose one random item just to get it over with.Marco watched me with anticipation as I unwrapped it. Inside was a ruby necklace. He let out a low whistle. “You never disappoint me. Out of all these gifts, you picked the most valuable one right away.”Instantly, the smug look on Lina’s face disappeared, replaced by jealousy simmering in her eyes.She pouted and tugged on Marco’s arm. “Marco, I want that necklace too. Can I trade all of my gifts for the one Aurora picked?”I said nothing. I just looked at him quietly. After three years of marriage, I suddenly wanted to know, in that moment, whether I meant more to him than Lina did.Marco hesitated for a few seconds. Then, he reached over and took the necklace from my hands.“Aurora, Lina’s eighteenth birthday is a significant one. Let her have it just this once, okay? If you fancy this ruby necklace, I’ll get yo

That night, I caught a strange scent in the air, and my consciousness suddenly slipped away. When I woke up, I realized I had been tied to an electric chair. A black hood covered my head, and tape sealed my mouth shut.Marco’s cold voice came from somewhere beside me.“Lina, is this the one who laid a hand on you in the punishment room? Take off her hood. I want to see who had the nerve to touch what’s mine.”The moment he said it, Lina screamed in panic, “No! Don’t take it off! Marco, I’m traumatized. Whenever I see her face, I get terrified.”“In that case, we won’t remove it,” Marco soothed her gently. “Hey, don’t cry. I’ll get justice for you.”Hearing their conversation, everything finally clicked. There was no so-called family punishment room. It was all Lina’s setup. She hooded me and taped my mouth just so that Marco would personally torture me.A cold sweat broke out across my back. Marco was always ruthless toward his enemies. Falling into his hands meant death was usua

Seven days earlier?Suddenly, I remembered that was the day I stood up for Lina. The trembling silhouette of a woman flashed through my mind, and with it came a terrifying realization. That woman’s figure looked a lot like Aurora's.My vision went black, and I nearly collapsed on the spot.“Bring Lina to me. Now!”Within minutes, Lina was dragged in wearing pajamas.I stared at her coldly. “Start talking. Why did you use my phone to secretly send out a message that told every guard on duty to leave their posts?”Lina kept up her innocent act. “I don’t understand. I didn’t send anything.”“Still pretending, huh?” My rage exploded, and I slammed my fist into the table so hard that it split. “Do you have any idea? Aurora is missing! She was kidnapped!”While waiting for my men to bring Lina over, I had checked the surveillance around the estate. Watching Aurora get dragged away in front of my own eyes felt like someone was carving a hole into my chest.Looking at Lina still denyi

[Aurora’s POV]My right hand suffered a comminuted fracture that night. After I was taken to the base, the top military doctors operated on me. However, a fracture that severe wasn’t reversible, and I would never be able to control precision instruments again. With no other choice, I shifted from hands-on work to theoretical research and started training other team members in field operations.When Marco showed up, I was in the middle of guiding a group of graduate researchers on how to extract medicinal compounds.“The deep-sea octopus has astounding regenerative abilities. Once its tentacle is severed, it can grow back. Our mission this time is to extract the regeneration factor from those tentacles and develop it into a drug. This could mark a groundbreaking leap in modern medicine.”While I was speaking, someone suddenly pulled me into a tight embrace. A warm breath brushed against my neck, and the voice I thought I’d never hear again rang out.“I finally found you! Aurora, I’

In an instant, the entire base went into high alert. Researchers scattered in all directions, and soldiers rushed to the front with riot shields raised.“Sir, we don’t care who you are or what your intentions might be,” the base commander said, face cold and tense. “Put down your weapon and surrender immediately. You’re surrounded. There’s no escape.”Marco just laughed. “Is that so? This is an indoor facility. How exactly are your snipers going to get a clean shot at me? And from where I’m standing, I can see every single one of your men. So, go ahead and try it. Let’s see what’s faster: your bullets, or my thumb on this detonator.”The commander’s expression turned downright awful.Marco wasn’t wrong. The snipers outside couldn’t take a headshot through the building, and although the soldiers inside could fire, none of them could move faster than Marco’s eyes. No one could guarantee they’d kill him before he blew everyone sky‑high.After a long moment of silence, the commander f
