9 Chapters

Chapter 1

I stared at the police car in front of me, feeling utterly incredulous."I'm not gonna smash it! That's a crime!"The system in my mind said coldly, "If you don't self-sabotage, you'll die."I did not believe it at first.Half an hour ago, I suddenly heard the system's voice in my mind.It told me that I was the male protagonist in a tragic story that would end in my death.I would be kicked out after the love of Clara's life, Maxey Tyler, returned to the country.After experiencing a series of heart-wrenching and physically-torturous plots where I would bleed and have my kidneys taken, I would be beaten to death by a group of thugs and die miserably.I shuddered after hearing that because Maxey did return to the country last month.During the past month, there were several nights when Clara did not come home.She started to space out when she looked at me, and I saw a man's cologne in her pocket that did not belong to me.Occasionally, she would avoid me when answering the

When my phone was returned to me, there was a string of missed calls, all from Clara and her assistant.I called back.Clara asked me sharply, "Where are you? Where did you hide the documents I put in the office drawer?!"I was flabbergasted because I didn't understand what she was talking about.Clara kept accusing me. "I'll give you half an hour. If you don't send the documents back, I'll call the police. Don't test me, Jason. My patience has a limit."I was confused and looked at the policewoman next to me.She heard everything and motioned for me to hand her the phone.Taking my phone, she said seriously, "Mrs. Jenas, your husband just came out of the detention center. There's still a fine to be paid. If you want to make a police report, come directly to our police station."To my surprise, Clara scoffed."Jason, I'm not in the mood for jokes."Then, she immediately hung up.I didn't know what happened, but the police asked me to wait at the police station; they would no

"Jason, are you out of your mind?"Clara finally snapped out of her shock and grabbed my wrist.Following the system's instruction, I picked up the glass of water on the table and splashed it on her face.The warm water made Clara freeze.She looked at me like she was looking at a stranger."How did you become like this? If I had known you were so unreasonable, I would have..."I interrupted her. "If I had known you were such a bitch, I wouldn't have saved you back then!"Back then, when the Peyton family went bankrupt, Clara's father jumped from a high building, and her mother also committed suicide.The creditors broke Clara's leg and threw her into the sea.I happened to pass by while fishing. I rescued her and took her home.I thought the two of us could at least keep each other company and give each other warmth.But Maxey's return turned my eight-year marriage into a joke.The system's revelation and intervention caught me off guard.I looked at the disheveled Clara.

"Human organ transaction in any form is a serious crime; you know that, right?"I nodded. "I know it's illegal and definitely shouldn't be done on a public online platform." If it weren't illegal, the system wouldn't have asked me to post it.Clara frowned after reading the screenshot. "I didn't post that." She shot me a cold glance that could freeze."Still denying it, huh?" The officer slammed the table impatiently."Take a look at this, posted by one of your company's employees online last night. You openly asked a doctor to draw other people's blood to transfuse to Maxey Tyler, and even used money to induce people to donate blood. Don't you know that's illegal too?!"Clara pursed her lips. "But it didn't end up happening."The officer sneered. "But you had the intention. You attempted to do it."Just then, another officer brought Maxey in.He held her in his arms, all teary-eyed."Clara, are you okay? It's all my fault. If I were healthy, none of this would have happened

Chapter 5

Clara winced in pain and staggered, grabbing the door to steady herself. Disbelief and anger flashed within her eyes, as if she had never known me. "Jason, you’ve truly lost it! Because I let you off the last time you slapped me, I must have given you the wrong impression that I would put up with anything you do! Open the door!"I ignored her and locked the door with the key as the system instructed.The key dug into my palm, but I did not dare hesitate for even a second. After all, if I did not sabotage myself, I really would die.I turned around and retrieved the item that Clara had asked the driver to buy from the car.In the plastic bag was a bicycle lock.Clara was unlocking the door from the inside.Sweating nervously, I quickly threaded the bicycle lock through the two handles of the mansion's front door and locked it tightly.With this, the door could not be opened from the inside.Clara was furious, veins bulging on her forehead.She kicked the door. "Open it now!

Chapter 6

Maxey's composure shattered instantly.He pushed open the car door and rushed out, almost twisting his ankle in his haste."Stop! Everybody, stop!"He frantically pounded on the door, but the door, locked from the inside, wouldn't budge.The chaotic sounds inside drowned out his shouts.Trembling, Maxey fumbled for his phone to call the police.Then, a thought struck him, and he hesitantly put the phone down.His mind went blank. He only had one thought: the person inside was Clara.It shouldn't have been like this.How could it be Clara?!Another suppressed cry of pain came from behind the thick door, making Maxey's heart break."Stop hitting her! I'll pay you double! No, ten times! Just stop!"He frantically banged on the door, screaming hysterically.The people inside seemed to finally hear the commotion outside, and the smashing stopped for a moment.A rough voice shouted, "Who's out there? Shut up!""It's me, Maxey! You've got the wrong person! My girlfriend is in

Chapter 7

"If you hadn't locked her in the house, none of this would have happened!"I stared at the screen expressionlessly."You're the one who hired those guys, Mr. Tyler.""I was there just now. I heard your conversation with them."He was typing for a long time, but in the end, he didn't send anything.I called the police."I want to report a crime. A person had hired thugs to assault someone. The address is..."By the time I finished giving my statement and left the police station, it was almost dark.I drove straight to the hospital and found Maxey crying his eyes out outside the operating room.When he saw me, he lunged at me like a madman."Jason, how dare you show your face here! It's all your fault, all your fault!"I sidestepped; he stumbled and hit the wall."The police came to see you, right?" I asked calmly. "Hiring thugs to assault someone is a crime. What's Clara's condition, a minor injury or a serious one? If it's a serious injury, how many years do you think you'l

Chapter 8

She tried to move her right hand, but the intense pain made her groan, and the veins on her forehead bulged."My hand might be crippled."She said those words very softly, but they descended like a heavy hammer."Go home." She closed her eyes again, her voice sounding extremely tired. "I want to be alone.""Clara...""Go home."Clara's tone was cold and undeniable. She refused to communicate with him.Looking at her face, a poisonous fire mixed with fear, resentment, and jealousy surged in Maxey's heart.He shot me a fierce glare, then turned and left.As soon as the hospital room door closed, Clara turned to me.Her voice was hoarse. "Jason, I'm sorry. I was confused. I thought Maxey was still the same person he was before. I shouldn't have brought up divorce."I interrupted her. "There's no point saying these things now."Watching her argue with Maxey, I finally understood why there was only peaceful companionship between me and her.Without love, there was no hate.I s

Chapter 9

I smiled nonchalantly. "He's still your friend, isn't he? Why don't you want to see him? Is it because you feel guilty?"Clara replied in a deep voice, "I don't want to argue with you."Without a second glance at Maxey, she turned and walked away.Seeing this, Maxey approached me with an unpleasant expression."Jason, are you trying to stir trouble between us again? Is this amusing to you?"I smiled mockingly. "Considering the state of your relationship, do I even need to do that?"He gritted his teeth in anger and signaled a waiter to bring him two glasses of wine.I observed him without showing any emotion.The glass of wine he held in his right hand had a very subtle, unnatural scratch on the base.He handed me the marked glass of wine.The dark red liquid glowed ominously in the dim light.I smiled and turned to Clara.She had just finished a round of greetings, showing fatigue between her brows.As I approached, her expression softened a little. "What's the matter?"
