Chapter 1

ANGEL “Sign it,” my husband, Gideon, pressed, sliding the paper toward me.My gaze fell to the document, and the familiar ache settled deep in my chest the moment I saw what it was.Divorce agreement.I had seen those many times already. Throughout our marriage, it had become a routine. And, as always, it ended in only one way: he would ask, and I would always refuse.“No,” I said, steady despite the tightness in my throat.He let out a sharp breath and leaned back in his chair. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes were dark with irritation, looking as though he could kill me with a stare.“Damn it, Angel.” His fingers raked through his hair. “Why won’t you let me go?”I averted my eyes from him. My foot tapped against the floor, the nervous habit betraying me. My hands twisted together above my thighs, holding myself in place.“If you’re hoping time would somehow make me fall for you, stop deluding yourself. Don’t keep your hopes high. I would never love you. Not then, not tomorrow, n

Chapter 2

ANGELIt was only six in the morning, and I was already awake to start the chores.The bathroom floor was cold against my knees as I scrubbed the tiles with a brush. My hands burned, red and rough from soap and water, but I kept going. The strong scent of bleach stung my nose, and my eyes watered as I leaned closer to the floor. I wiped my face with the back of my forearm and continued, careful not to leave even a single corner untouched.From the moment I married my husband, my once-perfect life started to fall apart.My parents-in-law, the only people who treated me kindly, were almost always abroad. My husband left early for work and came home at night, so we barely saw each other. During the day, his siblings ruled the house, making sure I never forgot my place. Every command was a reminder that I did not belong there.Even so, I never complained. They were my husband’s family, and now they were mine as well.While I rinsed the tiles, voices drifted in from outside the bathroom. I

Chapter 3

ANGEL“Hah!”I jolted awake, my body snapping upright as the nightmare tore me out of sleep. My chest heaved while I dragged in shaky breaths, my hand instinctively wiping the cold sweat from my forehead.Two years ago, our car was ambushed. Everything was still so vivid in my memory, as if it had just happened yesterday. There were gunshots, screams, and blood. By the time it was over, both of my parents were already dead. I was the only one who survived.No matter how many times I tried to bury that night, it always found its way back to me.Gideon and I had been best friends since we were kids. Whenever he had achievements to celebrate or problems he could not handle alone, I was the first person he ran to. And when I needed comfort, he was always there. Our parents were not just friends but business partners as well. When we were fifteen, they arranged our marriage, something that would only happen after we graduated from college. We didn’t think much about it back then, likely b

Chapter 4

ANGEL I sat on a sun lounger by the poolside, letting the warmth sink into my skin. Zenaida was not around today, which meant I was free to do whatever I wanted.I closed my eyes and breathed in slowly, enjoying the moment. For once, my mind was calm.Then I heard footsteps drawing closer. I did not bother opening my eyes.Suddenly, someone dived into the pool.Water splashed violently, drenching my clothes and face. I gasped as my eyes flew open. When I looked up, I saw George in the pool, grinning from ear to ear as if he had just pulled off something hilarious.I let out a tired sigh and chose to shrug it off. I did not want trouble anymore.I stood up and turned toward the house, ready to leave when his voice cut through the air.“Hey! Come here!” he called out.I stopped and glanced at him over my shoulder. “Me?” I asked, pointing at myself.He scowled, clearly irritated. “Is there anyone else around besides you?” I hesitated, then walked toward the pool at an unhurried pace.“

Chapter 5

ANGEL I looked up at the sky, quietly admiring the full moon hanging between scattered stars. The night air was cold, and every time the wind passed, I instinctively rubbed my arms for warmth.“You’re here.”The sudden voice made me flinch. I turned around and saw Gideon standing a few steps away, his arms crossed over his chest.“Yes?” I asked. “Do you need something?”I straightened my posture. “I was looking for you,” he replied, his tone colder than the wind brushing past us.My eyes widened slightly. He was looking for me?“You’re coming with me to the ball tomorrow.”I blinked. “The ball?”He lifted an eyebrow. “Why? You don’t want to?”Then his eyes hardened.“Even if you don’t, you don’t have a choice,” he added. “You’re still my wife in the public eye. You carry the responsibility that comes with that.”I shook my head quickly. “No. It’s not that,” I said, then paused. “Of course I want to. I was actually happy.” The excitement slipped into my voice before I could stop it.

Chapter 6

ANGEL Gideon left soon after, so I widened the door and let them in. They moved carefully around the room, setting their things down, and guided me to sit in front of my vanity.“We’ll make you the prettiest woman tonight, okay?” the makeup artist assured me, her voice light and confident.A small chuckle slipped from my lips. As if that could really happen. No amount of makeup could do that, not when Amanda would be there.They began working on me, and I almost fell asleep as the brushes touched my face. They carefully covered my bruises with tone-up cream.It took them two hours before they finished up my hair and makeup. When they were finally done, they stepped aside and showed me the gown I would be wearing tonight.It was a strapless dark maroon evening gown with a fitted bodice and small crystal detailing along the neckline and waist. The skirt was floor-length and flowing, made of layered sheer tulle with fine glitter.I did not waste any more time and slipped into it. The go
