Semua Bab Love Burns One Moment and Snuffs Out the Next: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Before leaving this morning, Tara had mentioned she had a contract to sign at a high-end club.Then, with a gentler expression, she kissed the corner of my lips and said she'd be back later to eat dinner with me.These kinds of social obligations were common for her, so I didn't think much of it. But when I turned around, I noticed she'd left the seal in the room. In a panic, I rushed out after her.I did think it was a little strange when I saw her car stop in front of the gym. But I was too focused on delivering the seal to think twice, so I barged in. That was when I got grabbed by a man named Brandon.Without a word, I was suspended in the air. I struggled violently, shouting that I was Tara's husband.But Brandon and the people behind him merely sneered. "Tara has a husband named Eric Robles, and the other is Mr. Brandon Holden, who's standing right in front of you."Who do you think you are? And don't you dare say you're Eric!"Brandon grabbed my chin, a sinister smile pla

The doctors collectively let out a breath of relief before scrambling to draw the blood and start transfusions.As new blood flowed into my body, my deathly pale face slowly began to regain some color.Just as the doctors were about to clean my wounds, the door was slammed open again.Tara gave me a cold, icy glance, as if she were looking at a corpse. "I want this man's liver. My husband's liver is bad. This is a good opportunity to replace it."My gaze was unfocused as I looked at her, my lips trembling uncontrollably. I felt like a complete joke.Summoning all the strength I had left, I shakily pointed at the door and forced out, "Get out!"Glaring at me with disgust, she kicked the operating table, sending both the table and me crashing straight into a wall.As I hit the floor, I coughed up a mouthful of blood. She didn't even look at me when she viciously spat, "You piece of trash! You ought to be grateful my husband even wants your liver!"The doctors clutched their heads

Tara instinctively turned around. When her eyes met mine, she immediately let out a cold laugh. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could he be Eric?"Matthew broke out in a cold sweat, quickly exclaiming, "Ms. Brewer, he really is Mr. Robles. If you don't believe me, take a closer look!"As he spoke, he came over to me to wipe the blood from my face with his sleeve, revealing who I was.At once, a series of loud crashes rang out in the room, followed by the sound of things hitting the floor.How laughable. She always said she loved me, yet she treated me like a stranger when I was right in front of her, whereas Nicholas and Matthew were able to recognize me at a single glance.This situation was painfully ironic.Tara staggered back a few steps. After a long pause, she muttered in a daze, "How… could this be?"Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Even after opening and closing her mouth for a long time, she couldn't even say my name in the end.Brandon, sensing som

Hah! What a bunch of lies!If it was really for a moment of thrill, how could it have dragged on for five years? Tara didn't bother to make her lies sound believable.Even though I didn't call her out, I continued to stay cold. "Is that so? Can you really bear that?"When she saw my cold expression and no hint of a smile, her eyes immediately reddened. While kneeling, she declared, "Eric, I only love you! Believe me! He's just the younger brother of a friend who once saved me. I simply promised to take care of him."So, she was simply taking care of him by sleeping with him behind my back and getting pregnant with his baby?I nodded, a mocking smile curling at my lips. There was no way I could believe her words anymore. Believing her once nearly cost me my life. If I did it again, I might not even have a corpse in the end.Now, I only trusted myself.Once I had recovered enough after several days for a second procedure, both Brandon and I were wheeled into the operating room.H

"You're wasting your time being a crime boss. Clearly, being an adult film actress suits you better."The screen showed footage of Tara straddling Brandon, moaning without restraint.Her face turned paler with every sound she made in that video. "Honey, I…""Don't say another word. The more you talk, the more disgusted I feel. Sign the papers and let's go our separate ways."She shook her head resolutely, her voice brooking no argument. "I'm not signing them!"Pulling out a dagger, I pressed it against my neck. "Will you sign or not? If you don't, I'll die right here in front of you. That'll be perfect for you two, won't it?"Her eyes instantly turned red when she heard that. She picked up the pen with a trembling hand.After a long pause, she said in a low voice, "Okay. I'll sign them."As I watched her sign the papers, the tension I had carried for days finally eased.I no longer wanted to continue this act with her, so I shoved her away and turned to leave. However, she gra
