Chapter 1

Even the colleagues at work, whose names I barely knew, were secretly mocking me in the work group chat.After my best friend, Peggy Turner, learned about the incident, she surprisingly refused to take my side and instead harshly rebuked me."You should be thanking your lucky stars that you even married someone as good as Johann, Nancy Castro! Don't you know that you're being an ingrate and a bastard by doing this to him?"If I were you, I'd immediately fall to my knees and beg him for forgiveness without a second thought! You're going to regret this sooner or later!"At this point, my husband, Johann Garner, was just sitting by the side, silently enjoying my public disgrace and downfall. He seemed to really enjoy watching me getting attacked by everyone, judging from the faint smile playing on his lips.Everything was within his control, after all.In everyone else's eyes, he was always known as the mature, stable, gentle, and considerate businessman, who was also very successfu

Chapter 2

I checked social media and immediately saw Eva's latest Instagram story.The photo showed Johann and her thoroughly enjoying themselves at an expensive steakhouse in a five-star hotel. The table was adorned with flowers, lit candles, and a variety of other items.It was simply too jarring, and I laughed self-deprecatingly at that.As expected, he was only coming home so late because he was busy having dinner with Eva.When Johann was finally done with his romantic getaway, he came back home and trampled all over my self-esteem like he was disciplining a mere dog.Was I just their afterthought after all?I flung my phone onto the couch in a rage. "I hate secondhand men who've been defiled by other women!"This was the first time I had said such harsh words to him.Unexpectedly, Johann frowned at once as anger lit up in his fiery eyes. He grabbed my chin tightly and slapped me hard on the cheek just a split second later. He slapped me so hard that my vision blacked out for a mome

Chapter 3

Johann's cold words pierced into my heart like a knife.He was so oppressive toward me that tears immediately welled up in my eyes, and I couldn't do anything but nod obediently at his words.I was worried that I would suffer even more if I angered him any further.Just then, his phone rang loudly.He glanced at the caller ID and hurriedly went over to answer the call. His tone was filled with tenderness and concern as he said, "Eva? What's the matter? Why are you calling me?"Eva's saccharinely sweet voice came through the phone and into my ears."Mr. Garner, I think I'm feeling a little unwell because I've been working a little too much. Can you come over and bring me to the hospital?""Wait at home for me. I'll be there at once," Johann said, hurrying out of the house without even properly hanging up.Just before he left, he paused at the door and turned around to bark his orders at me."Go make some chicken stew and send it over to Eva's apartment at night. I don't want he

Chapter 4

After Cedric took me away, he had to leave the country almost immediately due to his work commitments.So, I went home and quickly packed my bags.Over the years, the gifts that Johann had ever given me were mostly robot vacuum cleaners, smart vacuum cleaners, and other household appliances that would keep me confined at home.Eventually, I also became nothing more than just a tool in the daily grind.I ended up only packing away my clothes that I'd bought using my own money. Then, I went back to my parents' house to retrieve my ID documents to handle whatever necessary procedures for going abroad.However, when Mom and Dad opened the door for me and saw me with a suitcase, Dad flew into a massive rage and roared at me, "What is this? How dare you not properly appease Johann and kneel and beg him for his forgiveness!"I retorted defiantly, "I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?"Dad then slapped me hard on the cheek.A large, red handprint instantly showed on my face. Da

"I know what to do," I said through gritted teeth.Johann finally smiled at me again, something he hadn't done for a while, as if he was finally pleased with my answer and satisfied with my obedience.Upon arriving at the hotel where the event was being held, Johann tossed an evening dress toward me and said simply, "Change into this."I shook my head and walked straight into the hotel as I was.Obviously, Johann was very displeased with my reluctance.However, since we were in public, he couldn't shout or lose his temper at me anymore.And so, I walked into the event venue with the injuries on my face, my hair in a bedraggled mess, and my entire being soaked in rainwater.Everyone stared at me in shock.Meanwhile, Johann actually looked embarrassed and thought of trying to explain things when Eva suddenly appeared next to me and draped a towel over my head."Ms. Castro! How could you make yourself so unpresentable just to beg Mr. Garner for his forgiveness?"I must say, I ad

Chapter 6

Johann glanced coldly at me before covering his nose in disgust."Nancy's an adult. She can get to the hospital on her own."How could I possibly leave a work event for personal reasons as the boss of a company? What would the others think of me?"He then reached for his wallet and threw it at me."Get a cab to the hospital and deal with your injuries by yourself. And if there's nothing wrong with you, hurry up and go home to make dinner for me."I gripped his wallet tightly, watching as Johann helped Eva back into the event venue hand in hand.Ultimately, it was a passerby who held an umbrella over me, helped me to my feet, and flagged down a cab to take me to the hospital.I pressed against my bleeding wounds to try and stop the bleeding, feeling my heart turn to stone.This was for the best, however. I could only be as ruthless toward Johann as he was toward me.The doctor carefully cleaned my wounds and stitched them all up, big and small, all over my body. Then, I dragged

Chapter 7

There was a small uproar amongst the passengers. Some of them even gave me a thumbs-up."You did the right thing, Ms. Castro! Those two cheaters will definitely be condemned by everyone. I'm going to go and curse at them online on your behalf now!"These people, who were complete strangers to me, actually brought me immense comfort. I could foresee the online harassment Johann and Eva would face, judging by these strangers' reactions now.I disembarked from the plane with a sense of relief.As soon as I walked out of the airport, I caught sight of Cedric holding up a sign while looking around for me. He was so happy when he saw me that he ran up to me to hug me.However, his steps faltered when he saw the bandage on my forehead."I thought you were just going through with the divorce proceedings. How did you get injured all over instead?"Cedric then pressed tenderly on my shoulders while giving me a good once-over.I forced a smile at him and said, "It's alright, Cedric. I've

Chapter 8

Johann choked back his tears as he ran up to me, wanting to pull me into his arms."Nancy Castro! How could you just leave me without saying a single word? Do you even know how much I missed you?"I can understand your resentment toward me, but how could you destroy me like that? Can't you see all of my love and sacrifices for you?"I coldly brushed his hand away and kept my distance."There is no need for us to meet privately before going to court," I said.I knew Johann would never think he had done anything wrong. I didn't want to waste any of my breath on him if I could help it.However, Johann panicked when he saw how cold I was acting toward him.He wasn't as arrogant and domineering as before anymore.Instead, he squeezed out crocodile tears and looked at me affectionately like he was in love with me or something."Eva and I really aren't what you think," he started. "She's just someone who's supporting my company and my career. I know that you're my only wife—the only

Chapter 9

Johann continued, "As long as you're willing to tell everyone that this was nothing but a misunderstanding, that you orchestrated all this because of your jealousy and pettiness, then I'll—"Faced with Johann's selfish and arrogant nature, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and shoved him away from me forcefully, sending him flying.He lost his footing and tumbled all the way down the steps, just like how I did last time. Finally, he landed in a pile of dirt.This time, I was the one looking down condescendingly at him."Stop pretending to be so affectionate with me, Johann Garner! In the end, all you care about is just your money and reputation!"Don't you expect that your feigned affection will ever move me in the slightest that I'd clear your name for you. You're a fucking adult, Johann Garner! You chose to cheat on me, so you will take responsibility for your own actions!"Johann scurried to his feet, trying to continue to explain things to me. However, I hovered my palm a

"All you did was bribe my parents with money and luxurious goods!" I yelled in anger."Ask yourself honestly, Johann. Were you genuinely treating them well? Or, were you just using them to continue to suppress and belittle me?"I furiously swept my bangs aside and said, "Look at this scar! It was from the day Eva shoved me off the steps on that rainy day!"And these scars on my neck! They were from the day Dad whipped me with his belt because he was helping you suppress me and keep me under your control!"I still have hundreds of little scars like this all over my body! But there are even more of them in my heart where you'll never see them!"My outburst left Johann completely frozen in place. It was as if he would have never remembered how often and how deeply he'd hurt me if I hadn't shoved it right under his nose.He tried to coax me again when he saw that I was outraged."It's inevitable for couples to get into disagreements. Don't you tell me that you didn't make any mistak
