Chapter 1

The next moment, Dad's call came through, his voice stern."Dylan, who bullied you?""Christina and R—"I had barely said his name when my wife, Christina Ashmore—her face dark with rage—rushed forward and slapped my phone out of my hand. Then she stomped her high heels on the shattered phone screen before following that with a hard smack across my face."Dylan Nielson," she snarled. "It's been three years, and you're still this stupid?"Her eyes were bloodshot as she grabbed me by the collar. "If you dare hurt Roland, I'll make sure you leave this place in a body bag!"She'd used every ounce of her strength earlier. I tasted blood in my mouth, and my ears started to ring.Spitting out the blood, I turned my head toward her."Not just him," I spat, my voice trembling with rage. "I won't spare either of you. Just wait! The two of you can go to hell together!""You dare?"The words had just left her lips when she clamped her hand around my throat, her voice ice-cold."Dylan, e

"Shut up!" Christina shrieked, cutting me off.I had clearly struck a nerve.She slapped me hard across the face again, and I spat out a mouthful of blood. When I saw Roland's smug face, hatred boiled inside me."Stubborn and unrepentant!" I snarled.Enraged, Christina kicked me in the chest with her high heel, digging it deep into my flesh. I staggered and fell. Shaking, I pressed my hand over the gushing wound.Still not satisfied, she stepped on the back of my hand and ground down hard. Only when my hand was bloody and mangled did she speak, her voice dripping with malice."Since you refuse to learn, I'll just have to teach you myself."At her command, her henchman—ignoring my struggles—dragged me like roadkill down to the basement, stripped me naked, and tied me to a cross.Old wounds that had repeatedly split open and scabbed over the past three years tore apart again under the iron chains. Blood continued to gush out, and it was a horrifying sight.Christina ignored it a

I woke up from the searing pain. When I opened my eyes, I realized I was still in the basement."You're awake?"Christina stood over me, holding an empty basin as she looked down at me."Just one basin of salt water and you're already awake? This feeble act of yours is too fake, Dylan. It's been three years, yet you still haven't learned to behave. How disappointing."The pain left me gasping for air. My wounds were no longer just painful—they were turning white and showing early signs of infection.Christina's gaze scanned over me, her brow deeply furrowed in disgust. "You think pretending to be on the verge of death will make me feel sorry for you?"I struggled to look up at her—her expression cold and indifferent. Bitter and furious, I braced myself against the wall and slowly pushed myself to my feet.She looked at me as if she'd seen something filthy."Put this on," she snapped, flinging a piece of clothing at me.I recognized it as a housekeeper's uniform and looked up a

I trembled as I stepped inside, picking up Paige's favorite stuffed teddy bear. Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably."Given how close you two were, I thought I'd keep things as they were when Paige was still alive. That way, when you got out of the psychiatric hospital, you'd have something to comfort you. But now, it seems like that was pointless!" Christina snapped.She shoved me aside and ordered the maids to remove and burn everything.Watching item after item being hauled out, I lost it and lunged forward to stop them."Christina, tell them to stop! Stop!"Christina remained silent."Calm down," Roland said, smirking at me."We've still got one more surprise."The words had just left his lips when he pulled something out of his pocket and waved it in front of me.I looked closely. It was the scarf Paige had knitted for me when she was 15. She had stayed holed up in our rented apartment for one whole month, working on it.That winter had been especially harsh. When s

Chapter 5

When I woke up, I was lying in the VIP room of a private hospital, my body wrapped in bandages. Every movement sent sharp, stabbing pain through my wounds.Dad was sitting beside my bed, his hair much grayer than I remembered.Seeing me awake, he quickly handed me a cup of warm water. My gaze fell on his shaking hands. I didn't take the cup, nor did I say anything.Dad tried to hide his disappointment. He quietly pulled his hand back and tucked the blanket around me."How are you feeling?" he asked softly. "The doctor said you have six broken ribs, and your left eye is completely necrotic. You'll need surgery."I swallowed my resentment and asked, "How did you know where I was?"He sighed deeply. "I've been keeping tabs on you for the past three years. I knew Christina sent you to a psychiatric hospital, and I knew when Paige died. But you hated me so much back then and refused to see me, so I didn't intervene."His eyes reddened, and for the first time, he shed tears in front o

Chapter 6

After settling me at the hospital, Christina had rushed off abroad for a business trip. Knowing how important Roland was to her, no one dared to tell her what had happened since then.I lay in the hospital bed, touching the empty socket of my left eye, and scoffed coldly after hearing the news Dad brought back.They might as well enjoy the last moments of happiness while they still could.…The moment Christina returned from her trip two weeks later, she went straight to the hospital, but couldn't find me there.Instead, she met Roland, who had sped all the way from the office to the hospital to see her.At that moment, Christina was pinching the bridge of her nose, scolding a nurse."Why didn't you contact me right away when he went missing? Does this hospital not want to operate anymore? I might as well withdraw my investment!"A dark glint flashed in Roland's eyes. He walked over and wrapped his arm around her waist."Don't be mad, Chrissy. I saw Dylan being picked up by a

Chapter 7

Christina remembered how, after Paige's accident, she had clutched my hand and sworn that she would make the perpetrator pay with his life.She remembered how, before sending me to the psychiatric hospital, she had said she'd arrange a grand funeral for Paige.She remembered the torment she had inflicted on me over the past three years, as well as the indulgence she'd shown Roland.A fear began creeping into her heart."No… It can't be… It's just a coincidence," she muttered.She frantically scrolled through her phone, searching for photos of Roland when he first returned. In the photos, the scar above his left eyebrow was clear as day, and there wasn't a trace of love in the way he looked at her.Her hands trembled as she turned off her phone, her breathing becoming shallow. In that instant, she finally understood just how ridiculous everything she'd done over the past three years had been.…That night, Roland drank himself into a stupor. Christina sat on the bed next to him

Chapter 8

Seeing the guards outside collapse in pain, Christina stared warily at the person who walked in, ready to fight to the death.But the man simply handed her an all-black phone and said, "Ms. Ashmore, I was sent by Mr. Dylan Nielson. He wanted to ask you—do you want a chance to atone for your sins?""Christina, when you sent me to the psychiatric hospital, did you ever think a day like this would come? Seeing you looking so pathetic makes me really happy."When she heard my voice coming down the line, her hand instantly tightened on the phone, and tears fell freely from her eyes.At her sobbing, I paused for a second before coldly continuing, "Seeing as we were once husband and wife, I can give you a chance to turn the tables."With that, I sent her Roland's resume from when he worked as a former henchman."I almost forgot this. Take a good look. Your first love, who went missing for seven years—the one you cherished so much… He's on the list of men who kidnapped you back then. Isn

Chapter 9

Christina stood not far from me, quietly staring at me the whole time. She tried to come over and talk to me several times, but each time, the bodyguards beside me blocked her path.I didn't even spare her a glance. I turned my wheelchair, ready to leave.She panicked. She broke past the bodyguards and collapsed at my feet."Dylan, I was wrong," she cried, her voice shaking. "I've been reflecting every single day. I hate the person I was before so, so much. I know I caused irreversible damage to you and Paige—""Exactly," I said, lowering my gaze to look at her, hatred still burning in my eyes.The words caught in her throat as her tears continued to fall.I didn't look at her again, and the bodyguards wheeled me away."Christina, the next time we meet, it'll be in court. Are you looking forward to it?"…On the day of the trial, I sat in the gallery, wearing a prosthetic eye and a perfectly tailored high-end suit.Christina took the stand in a prison uniform, crying so hard

Chapter 10

When I got my paycheck that month, I ignored my budget for the first time and bought Paige a teddy bear so it could give her some comfort.With only enough money left to cover her meals and therapy, I ate stale bread for a whole month.Although the bear was cheap, Paige treasured it more than anything. But now, all those beautiful memories had been destroyed by Christina."Officers, please take her away. She's seriously bothering me."Without any hesitation, I turned my wheelchair and left.This time, it was Christina's turn to scream behind me, her voice hoarse and desperate—but I never looked back.…Before his execution, Roland requested to see me. When the prison contacted me, I refused outright."I don't want to taint my eyes by looking at someone as filthy as him. I don't want to scare Paige when I see her again."Later, I heard that Roland cursed me until his very last breath.While in prison, Christina kept writing me letters, but I didn't open a single one of them.
