Chapter 1

Julian's POVWhen my wife, Monica Jackson, said those words, I finally raised my head to look at her.We'd dated for four years and been married for five. We'd shared the best years of our youth. I never expected that things between us would end up like this.I curled my lips into a bitter smile. But Monica, acting as if she didn't see it, asked darkly, "I'll give you one last chance. Where is Billy?"I wanted to sneer at her. But my one moment of willfulness had already dragged my entire family down with me."Let my parents go, and I'll tell you."Monica nodded. She walked toward me slowly, and before I could react, she grabbed me by the neck, forcing me to lower my head and look at her."Julian Hargitay, don't take my patience for granted. It's only a matter of time before I find Billy. Who do you think you are to bargain with me?"The crushing pressure made me gag instinctively. My face turned red, and the veins on my neck bulged. I gritted my teeth, and the sudden wave of f

Chapter 2

Julian's POVMonica would always prepare gifts for me every holiday and introduce me to all her friends.Every day we were apart, she would tell me over and over how much she missed me. If anyone looked at me for a second too long, she'd get so jealous that her eyes would turn red.She once said, "Julian, do you know? The Jacksons are all twisted monsters, but you taught me what love really is."Monica was deeply insecure, needing me to constantly reassure her of my love for her. I could only hold her, my heart aching for her, until she fell asleep quietly in my arms.I thought we would grow old together like that. So when she abruptly turned cold toward me, I panicked immediately.Billy Greenweed was an intern fresh out of college.The first time I heard his name was from Monica's secretary. She joked that young men today had no game at all. Accidentally spilling coffee on his boss? What an outdated move.I laughed along, not taking it seriously.But not long after, Billy was

Chapter 3

Julian's POVWhen I got home, I did a final check of my belongings.I had been exhausted lately. While packing late into the night, I ended up passing out on the couch.It wasn't until the next day, when the door to the house opened from the outside, that I was jolted awake. Startled, I hurriedly sat up.To my surprise, Monica had returned. And she walked in holding Billy's hand.He was strikingly handsome. Even photos of him couldn't capture the full extent of his good looks.In his other hand, he carried several shopping bags from high-end luxury brands, and the smug smile on his face was almost blinding.It looked like Monica had successfully placated him.My stomach sank. I hadn't expected her to come home so quickly. Instinctively, my hand went to my neck. The suffocating sensation from before seemed to have returned, and I realized I was actually a little afraid of her.I swallowed hard and got up from the couch.Monica guided Billy over to me. Right in front of me, she

Chapter 4

Julian's POVMonica gave me no further explanation. She turned and went back to the main bedroom, where Billy was.Perhaps I'd been shocked too many times lately, because when I realized how she truly saw my feelings, I found it more laughable than anything else.Right then, Billy poked his head out from the bedroom again, now having changed into a bathrobe."Julian, I'm a little hungry. Ms. Jackson says your cooking is really good," he said with a bright smile. "You've been a stay-at-home husband for so many years, so I'm sure you have plenty of signature dishes. Mind going out to get some groceries and coming back later?"The words had barely left his mouth when he was pulled back inside. Then the door slammed shut behind him.I didn't say anything. I simply slipped off my wedding ring and tossed it into the trash can. Taking one last look at this house steeped in irony, I realized that letting go could be that easy after all.Before I heard any nauseating sounds, I turned and

Chapter 5

Julian's POVEverything had happened too suddenly, and we were all being forced to accept these drastic changes."Mom, where are we going?""Your dad may have gone bankrupt, but he still has some connections. One of his old brothers-in-arms heard about our situation and invited our whole family over," she answered."Don't worry about anything," she added, patting my hand. "You, on the other hand…"I knew what she meant and could only shake my head. "Monica refuses to get a divorce. We'll just separate for now. Once things are settled, I'll file a lawsuit."At least the situation was under control for the time being. My family and I could face things together and take it one step at a time.After we got off the plane, Dad's old brother-in-arms, Victor Mantock, came to pick us up with his wife. His voice boomed as he introduced her to us."My daughter was supposed to come too, but she suddenly had to go on a business trip and won't be back for a while," Victor explained.Dad sim

Chapter 6

Julian's POV"Done playing around, Julian?" Monica asked.I didn't dare look up. My body felt frozen in place, and in that instant, all my blood seemed to rush to my head, sending chills through me.When she saw that I wasn't moving, she generously extended a hand."Get up. Come home with me."I swallowed hard, steadied myself, and calmly put my mask back on. There was still a lot of work to be done in the kitchen. I didn't have time to waste on scum like her.Seeing that I was about to leave without even saying a word, Monica grabbed my wrist, forcing me to spin around.Her gaze reflexively fell on my swollen, wrinkled fingers, and a frown creased her brow."What on earth are you doing? Why are you here washing dishes for foreigners when you could be living the rich life?"I stared at her. I realized that I hadn't actually let go. There was still a strong hatred burning inside of me. Everything that was happening now was because of her.I pulled my hand free, wanting to slap

Chapter 7

Julian's POVOr maybe, deep in Monica's subconscious, she knew how genuine my love for her was, but her twisted nature compelled her to act against her conscience.She might even believe that no matter how deeply she hurt me, I'd never really have the heart to throw away the relationship we'd built over the years.Now that she had received a completely different answer, she was probably already brewing some twisted plan.But I didn't care.When she kicked me out of the car, we were in a pretty remote spot. I had to walk for nearly half an hour before I even saw a taxi. But to save money, I continued walking for a very long time until I finally spotted a bus.The kitchen shift was almost over. Since I had left without a word, I'd probably be fired the next day.I sighed.…Third-Person POVMonica had intentionally traveled all this way to bring Julian back. She'd actually learned what had happened almost immediately, but Billy was practically stuck to her, so she didn't have t

Chapter 8

Third-Person POVIgnoring Billy's screams, Monica snapped his thumb—the one wearing the ring—then carefully pocketed the ring."Who do you think you are to wear my husband's stuff?"That very night, Billy was kicked out of the hotel.…Julian's POVWhen my parents found out I'd been working part-time in the kitchen, that my hands were covered in injuries, and that I'd also lost the job, they felt so sorry for me that they started tearing up."Julian, I'm working with Victor on a project. Once it's completed, our family won't have to worry about money anymore. You just stay home and rest. You still have me. Why suffer out there like that?" Dad said.Mom nodded in agreement, gently pushing me back into my room and onto the bed."Rest well. You still have your dad and me," she said, patting my shoulder. "As long as we're around, we'll be here to support you. My son was born to enjoy life."My nose stung, and I pulled the covers over me.…Later that night, I felt a faint flash

Chapter 9

Julian's POVIt was Monica's mother, Kaitlyn Russo.She had formally separated from Monica's father a few years ago and happened to be living in this country right now.I'd once heard Monica say that when she was little, Kaitlyn would openly fool around with other men right in front of her. She even taught little Monica by example that, in their social class, a person only needed to live well themselves. Ethics and morals were the most useless things.I glanced at Kaitlyn but didn't say anything. She didn't care either. She just made a phone call, and soon, a man was dragged into the hospital.It was Billy.His clothes were torn and ragged, his hair disheveled and grimy. One sneaker was missing, and there was a large patch of semen staining his thigh. It wasn't hard to imagine what he'd gone through.It wasn't a stretch either. Public safety here wasn't as good as it was back home, and people were generally less conservative. Even men could be at risk of sexual assault.After b

Chapter 10

Julian's POVMonica slowly explained her thought process throughout all of this. At the end, she asked if I would've still have chosen to be with her had I known that she was such a psychologically twisted person from the beginning.I gave it some careful thought and answered, "No. I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have the ability to save anyone."In other words, if someone wanted to change, they had to save themselves.Monica smiled as tears fell from her eyes. She sincerely apologized to me, expressing her remorse and reluctance to let go.Whether she regretted it or not, I didn't want to know. I just knew that I felt a sudden sense of relief. The issue troubling me had finally been resolved completely.She finally agreed to a divorce. She had a lawyer draft the agreement and voluntarily gave me two-thirds of her assets.This news alarmed quite a few of the elders of the Jackson family.When Monica had been stabbed, no one asked about her. But as soon as their own interes
