Chapter 1

"Here at the hotel with my wifey. Even though I can't marry you, taking you to bed is enough to satisfy me."Allen Jamison stared at the Instagram story on his phone in disbelief, his breath hitching.The story was visible to him alone, and it was a series of two images. The first was a photo of a stunning beauty lying on a hotel bed, smiling brightly.He recognized her at a glance. It was his wife, Carina Simpson, in the same outfit she'd worn when leaving the house this morning.The other image was a screenshot of her conversation with Jonah Ingram.Jonah: "Are you here yet, wifey? Stellar Grand Hotel, Room 2203. Don't go to the wrong one."Carina: "Don't worry, Jon. I'll be there soon."Jonah: "Why are you calling me Jon? I'm already calling you wifey. You should call me that special word, too!"Carina: "Let's wait till we meet in person. It wouldn't be good to send it as a message. Allen might see it."Jonah: "Didn't you say he trusts you and won't check your phone?"Cari

"Allen! Wait for me—" Romina called out.But at a time like this, Allen couldn't hear a word she said. He strode into the elevator and pressed the button for the 22nd floor.As he watched the numbers slowly climb, the thought of his wife doing something dirty with another man made his entire body tremble with rage.The elevator doors opened. From a distance, Allen saw a thermal flask lying on the floor of the hallway. It was covered in pink heart-shaped stickers.The sight of this only made him even more outraged—it was the flask that contained the bone broth he made for Carina.She had a congenital heart condition. To help her stay healthy, he would simmer a nourishing portion of bone broth for 12 hours just for her every day.But in the end, his dignity, his laughable desire for love, as well as his loyalty and devotion to their marriage, had been tossed out. It'd been discarded like the thermal flask, reduced to a joke.Allen stopped in front of Room 2203 and took a deep brea

After walking out of the room, Allen picked up the thermal flask from the floor and looked at the little heart-shaped stickers he had personally stuck onto it. He let out a self-mocking laugh."Since you don't cherish my love, Carina, you can forget about having it."He tossed the thermal flask that had accompanied them for 12 years into the trash can and turned to leave."Allen! Where are you going?"Romina hadn't made it into the same elevator as Allen just now. She had to circle to the other side of the hotel to catch another one. By the time she finally rushed over, all she saw was Allen's back disappearing into the elevator.She stepped into Room 2203 and froze at the sight before her. The room was in complete disarray, and Jonah lay bleeding on the floor. She also saw Carina kneeling on the floor in a daze, wrapped in nothing but a towel."Carina? Carina!"Still stunned from the earlier argument, Carina hadn't noticed Romina's arrival."You lost your chance, Carina. Let's

Over at Paramount Hospital, Carina stepped out of the ward looking exhausted. It had taken her a long time to calm Jonah down."Romina, Jonah's injuries are rather serious. He'll need to be hospitalized for a few days. Please take care of him…""Why would I take care of that piece of trash? He disgusts me.""What did you say?" Carina stared at Romina in disbelief. "Did you just say Jonah is disgusting? Have you forgotten that he's our childhood friend? He finally came back from abroad this time just to see us. He even came to help at our company. How can you say that about him?""So you think he's more important than Allen, is that it?" Romina shot back.Carina felt drained. What had she done wrong? In a single day, both Allen and Romina—two of the people closest to her—were taking turns accusing her."I don't have time to argue with you… Where's Allen? Did you two come to the hotel together just now?""How should I know?" Romina retorted. "He probably ran off because you pissed

Allen was fast asleep when he felt something squirm onto the bed and wrap around him from behind."What are you doing?" He shot upright, staring coldly at Carina, who was lying beside him."Going to sleep, of course," Carina replied in a hurt voice."Why are you trying to sleep here?" Allen snapped as he looked at the open study door.He silently kicked himself for not remembering to lock the door."Hey! I'm your wife. If I don't sleep with you, who am I supposed to sleep with?""Sleep with whoever you want," Allen retorted irritably. "If I remember correctly, isn't your hubby waiting to take you to bed? You can go sleep with him.""Why, you!" Carina frowned, but a thought came to her, and she felt assured again. "I get it. You're jealous, so you're just trying to rile me up on purpose, right?"We've been married for close to a decade and have been together for even longer now. Can you really stand to see me sleep with someone else? Come on, behave yourself and stop throwing a

"Honey, I think… I left the flask somewhere," Carina said sheepishly. "Just put the broth in another flask for now. I'll look for it today. I'm sure I'll find it…""Don't bother looking. I won't be making the broth any longer."Allen finished his breakfast without another word before slapping the marriage certificate and his ID on the table. "Let's go file for a divorce.""Why are you still throwing a tantrum?" Carina frowned at Allen's mention of the divorce again.She started to think she'd been too nice to Allen this whole time.As a result, because of one misunderstanding, he didn't bother to wait up for her last night, refused to prepare her breakfast, and didn't even make the bone broth for her. What exactly did he want?Did he seriously want a divorce?She thought for a moment before smirking. "How could you bear to divorce me? All of the luxury cars, the villa, and even the company belong to my family."Even if you've done so much for my family, if we get a divorce, you

Allen yanked Carina into the courthouse with him."Hello, we're here for a divorce.""Please fill out these forms."The clerk handed them two forms, tossed over two ballpoint pens, and returned to his work.Clutching the pen, Carina was still in disbelief. She, the CEO of Simpson Group, was getting a divorce just like that?She glanced at Allen beside her, who had already filled out most of his form, before finally staring at the form in front of her.Custody? Reason for divorce? Division of property?She had never thought about any of this.Assuming Carina didn't know what to do, Allen told her, "We don't have kids, so leave the custody section blank."If not for the sake of salvaging Simpson Group, he wouldn't have been so busy that he didn't have the time to start a family with Carina. And if they had a child, he wouldn't have been able to make such a snap decision about the divorce.Therefore, they were basically just a couple who'd been together for a long time."Oh…"

Chapter 8

Allen was now the director of operations at Simpson Group, earning 12 thousand dollars a month. He certainly could command a better salary, of course. But because he and the Simpsons were family and shared their expenses together, he didn't care about how much his salary was.Now that he had to go out and find a new job, he certainly couldn't use that salary as the standard. Since he needed to support Sophie, his monthly salary couldn't be less than 100 thousand dollars.Allen sat in the car, scrolling through job listings in Rhombury, but none met his requirements."Guess I'll have to start my own business," he remarked to himself as he pondered the situation.He would probably get ten million dollars in the divorce. However, based on Carina's attitude toward the divorce, he couldn't be sure when he'd get his hands on that money.Allen had always thought that he had a pretty good eye for business. Otherwise, he couldn't have single-handedly turned Simpson Group into the business

The car sped along, quickly returning to the front gates of Palatial Gardens. The gates towered dozens of feet high, adorned with exquisite carvings that gave the whole estate a grand and imposing look."Hailey, we're here…"The young men in the backseat, who had been all tough and fierce just moments ago, instantly fell silent in awe at the grandeur of the entrance of Palatial Gardens.Unfortunately, Hailey was already fast asleep. She didn't respond, no matter how they shook her."What do we do? Hailey's asleep… Should we carry her in?""But she wouldn't want us going in and embarrassing her…""The security guard is coming over. What do we say?"Seeing the guard approach, one of the young men in the back finally summoned the courage to speak."H-Hey, sir. W-We're just dropping Hailey back home…""Good morning, Mr. Jamison." The guard smiled the moment he saw Allen in the driver's seat."Good morning." Allen returned the greeting warmly, leaving the guys in the backseat comp

"Oh, you. Why are you being so formal with me? I'm only four or five years younger than you, you know," Angeline said.She leaned toward Allen, her gaze warm. He could smell the faint scent of her perfume."You can call me Angie," she added."That doesn't sound very appropriate, Ms. Nolan.""What are you afraid of? Are you scared your wife will find out?" Angeline chuckled.It made Allen feel like he was sitting on a bed of needles. Beneath her gentle exterior was the hidden threat of danger.In other words, anything Angeline did was calculated for gain. One misstep, and she could make her target pay through the nose.But Allen's target wasn't Angeline. He'd set his sights on Hailey, her currently drunk younger sister."I didn't even know you had a younger sister, Ms. Nolan. You never mentioned her," Allen said with a smile as he steered the conversation toward the rowdy young men on the side.Expression stiffening, Angeline shot the guys an icy look. "Scram.""Oh. Yes, right
