Chapter 1

Gabriella Archer missed our wedding ceremony for the 32nd time because of the celebration party for her 999th successful case. Nathaniel Taylor carefully organized the party for her.At the party, everyone assumed that Nathaniel was her boyfriend."Ms. Archer, you and Mr. Taylor grew up together and make such a perfect pair. With the atmosphere tonight, why don't you make a toast to each other?""Yes! We want to see Ms. Archer and Mr. Taylor toast to each other!" The crowd's cheers reached my ears.I had been married to her for three years, yet she had never acknowledged our relationship publicly. I could only shrink into a corner, watching her look at Nathaniel affectionately as they raised a toast to one another.After the party ended, fearing our relationship might get exposed, I went to the intersection near the hotel early and waited for Gabriella.A black car slowly approached. When the window rolled down, I saw Nathaniel sleeping soundly in her car.Gabriella looked at

"What document did you have me sign yesterday?" Gabriella asked.I looked up, a flicker of complex emotion flashing across my face before I regained my composure. "You didn't ask when you signed it, and now you want to know?"Gabriella gave me an indifferent smile. "It just occurred to me. Besides, you're my husband—you wouldn't do anything to hurt me."I lowered my gaze, hiding the mockery in my eyes. "Aren't you afraid that I made you sign our divorce agreement or a transfer of your assets?"Gabriella's chest tightened at my words. She frowned, looking slightly panicked and annoyed. "Are you joking with me?"She walked over to me and sat sideways on my lap. "You know that I would definitely lose my mind if you ever left me. If I had to choose between the two, I'd rather it was the transfer of my assets," she said, her tone soft but firm. Gabriella looked at me, and I could see the deep affection in her eyes. I knew that she meant it when she said she couldn't leave me, and her

I lowered my gaze, and my thoughts drifted back to the past.Back then, Gabriella had me pinned against the desk in her office. A mischievous glint flickered in her eyes as she smiled and asked, "Doesn't this feel like an affair? Isn't it exciting?"Her sweat dripped onto my chest. Once we calmed down, she held me and said softly, "Once we have the wedding, I'll definitely make our relationship public."I laughed at my past self for being so stupid. I had fallen for her sweet words over and over, letting her deceive me 32 times.I placed my hand on the divorce agreement and the resignation letter beside me. I wasn't going to let her fool me again.…Two hours later, while I was in the middle of handing off my work to a coworker, Gabriella sent me a message. "Bring me a cup of coffee."She was extremely picky about the sugar and bitterness in her coffee. Across the entire firm, only I could make it just the way she liked.I let out a sigh and stood up to prepare the drink. What

Chapter 4

Gabriella's voice carried a hint of anxiety, as though she was afraid that I might actually believe what Nathaniel had said.I held the phone to my ear, my tone flat. "Yeah, I know."My calmness seemed to catch her off guard. There was a brief silence on her end before she spoke again. "The 18th of next month is an auspicious day. Let's have our wedding then."I gripped my phone, my fingers tightening without me realizing it. After hesitating for a moment, I decided to tell Gabriella about the divorce. "Are you free tomorrow? The divorce agreement—"Before I could finish speaking, Nathaniel's voice came through the phone. "Gabriella, are you going to pack your bags or not? Get over here."Gabriella's voice dropped, carrying a hint of anxiety. "Samuel, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. I have to fly abroad with Nate tomorrow to see an exhibition. Whatever it is, let's talk when I get back."The call disconnected, leaving a continuous busy tone on the line.I chuck

Chapter 5

Gabriella looked at my rather serious expression, unable to hide her surprise.Before this, I had forgiven her 32 times. In her eyes, that probably meant unlimited tolerance, giving her silent permission to do whatever she wanted.Nathaniel was the best example. With my tolerance and Gabriella's indulgence, he had nothing to fear when he mocked me to my face."Samuel Carter, are you joking with me?" Gabriella asked.Although she acted recklessly and flirted openly outside, divorce still seemed like a heavy topic to her. She couldn't let go of Nathaniel's gentle attention, yet she still longed for the security of our life together.Gabriella said, "If you're still upset about Nate, there's absolutely no need for it. I told you long ago that Nate and I are nothing more than casual friends with benefits."Whatever happens between him and me won't affect our relationship. You're still the only one I love."Friends with benefits? I understood each word, but together, it sounded utter

Chapter 6

"Even though we've been distant, I've stayed by your side for eight years. I may not know every thought in your mind, but I can guess most of them."I forgot to mention that I've already resigned. I followed all regulations, and the process went smoothly. Even you can't undo it. We're no longer employer and employee, and I won't be taking orders from you anymore."After I finished speaking, I let out a long breath. After putting up with Gabriella's overbearing pressure for so long, I finally felt relieved.Even though Gabriella kept ranting, I ignored her and strode away.Before heading out, I turned back and said firmly, "Ms. Archer, I know you're very busy, but I've already booked a slot on your schedule three days from now. This will be the last time we meet, so don't be late."…Third-Person POVAfter Samuel left, Gabriella grew increasingly unsettled. She could no longer threaten him with the only leverage she had, and she couldn't think of any other way to make him stay.

Chapter 7

This was a chance for Gabriella's subordinates to see exactly what kind of person they worked for.A long string of exclamation marks quickly popped up in my chat with Jake, along with several memes that had clearly been passed around too many times to count.He said, "I can't believe Ms. Archer is that kind of person! Some people are truly wicked! Samuel, don't be too sad. It isn't worth being upset over someone like her. And honestly, I always knew something was off about Nathaniel."Gabriella's polished image crumbled, exposing her ugly, despicable true self. She was exactly the kind of person who looked perfect on the surface but was rotten to the core.Now, I had finally shed my heaviest burden. As for Gabriella's emotions, they no longer had anything to do with me.…Third-Person POVAfter losing Samuel, Gabriella had nowhere to turn, wandering aimlessly in her confusion. Eventually, she returned alone to the house they once shared.They had been together for eight years,

Chapter 8

Nathaniel, unaware of what was happening, greeted Gabriella with a broad smile. "You're too impatient. The hangover soup isn't ready yet. Do you want to taste it first?"Gabriella pushed aside the spoon Nathaniel offered and held his phone up, showing him the posts she had found. She asked, "Nathaniel, what is this? You'd better explain yourself. Did you forget everything I told you? You've gone way too far!"Nathaniel caught a glimpse of his old posts, then glanced back at the fuming Gabriella and broke into a cold sweat.He grabbed her sleeve and pleaded, "Gabriella, let me explain!""Get your hands off me!" Gabriella shouted.Gabriella was unsteady on her feet after drinking. She glared at Nathaniel, her eyes bloodshot. "No wonder Samuel insisted on a divorce and was so determined. This is all your fault!"She jabbed a finger toward the front door and yelled, "Get out! Get out!"Nathaniel looked at Gabriella, and the sadness in his eyes gradually turned to resentment. "What

Chapter 9

I said, "The choice before you is simple, so why bother dwelling on this? For the sake of our future happiness, let's get a divorce."People came and went through the courthouse. I wondered how much resentment and bitterness had driven them here.Gabriella remained quiet for a long time and finally shed tears of remorse. She signed her name with a trembling hand, her former composure completely gone.I smiled with relief. "Here's to freedom. For both of us."I had signed many documents on Gabriella's behalf, but it was always a routine task without any emotion. This time, however, I felt the fresh air around me fill my lungs.The moment it was finalized, a tingling sensation spread through my entire body.I had struggled in a world that had Gabriella in it for so long. Now, I had finally ended our relationship and everything that held me back, reaching a place where I could start over.Here, I would have everything to myself. No one could let me down anymore, and no one would da

Chapter 10

Gabriella's flaws had already begun to surface a year ago.She was never a rational person. She could act without thinking about the consequences only when I was around, and my departure from the firm left her without the support she depended on.Someone like her simply couldn't survive in such a fiercely competitive environment. The collapse of her career was entirely her own doing.I wondered how she would feel if she knew that her former subordinate had chosen to seek me out.Those who did the right thing gained support, while those who didn't found themselves alone. Gabriella surely understood this principle better than I did.There was nothing new under the sun. What Gabriella was going through now had already happened to countless others before her.According to Jake, within two months of my departure, the firm had fallen into chaos.Part of the reason was that Gabriella had grown used to delegating everything, and when I left, the whole team lost all direction. Her increa
