Chapter 1 One Last Goodbye

Audrey's POV"I'm so fed up with her using her grandmother to force me to stay with her every day!"Hunter Jones's words pinned me firmly in place as I stood outside the door listening to him.Hunter and I grew up together, and he confessed his feelings to me in college. We had been friends for 18 years and lovers for eight. Yet, never had I imagined that it would all be a lie.My knuckles turned white as I gripped the doorknob. Suddenly, I felt dizzy. It wasn't until my phone vibrated that I snapped back from my blanked-out state."Ms. White, your Grandma is undergoing emergency treatment. Please come as soon as possible."When I rushed to the hospital, my grandmother had already been wheeled out of the emergency room.I calmed down as my eyes landed on her loving face. However, what the doctor said next came like a bolt from the blue."The patient is dying, so please say what you need to say quickly."My footsteps felt unsteady like stepping on cotton as I walked toward the

Chapter 2 Biased

"Ms. White, you can come by and pick it up tomorrow."I handed my grandmother's ashes over to the staff at the diamond institute because I planned to have them made into diamonds to wear with me.When I got home, I was startled by a sudden bark from a dog."Sorry, my puppy is a bit shy around strangers," Sarah said as she came out of the room in a silk nightgown.Hunter quickly came over to take my hand when he saw my face fall. "We were tied up with work until very late last night, so I let her sleep in the guest room for the night."I scoffed, my mind recalling Sarah's post. "You two were quite busy, indeed."Hunter raised his voice, clearly stung by my rebuke. "Audrey, what are you getting at?"I shook off his hand and went upstairs. Before he closed the door, I heard him comforting Sarah in whispers. "She's been behaving strangely lately. Just ignore her."The room was filled with my grandmother's things. I took a deep breath, trying to soothe my emotions. Still, my tears r

Chapter 3 Her Sinister Plan

"Get out!" I shouted, angry tears streaming down my face. Sarah wanted to say something, but Hunter yanked her away.I packed up my grandmother's belongings and prepared to leave. Hunter reached out to stop me when he saw me dragging a suitcase along."Seriously? You're leaving home because of something so trivial? It's just a photo. I'll go print another one with you later."I shook off his hand."These are Grandma's clothes. I'm going to go and stay with her. I'll print the photo myself. You just go ahead and do your thing."My cold demeanor caused a hint of unease to appear on Hunter's face."How's Grandma feeling? Wait for me. I'll go visit her with you."Suddenly, Sarah's cry of pain came from the kitchen."Hunter, I accidentally cut my hand. It hurts so much."He immediately pushed me aside, rushed to Sarah's side, and wrapped her finger tenderly with a tissue."Sarah's finger is bleeding. I'll take her to the hospital first. Wait for me at home, and we'll visit Grandma

Chapter 4 The Diamond Necklace

I tried to get out of the pool, but Hunter shoved me in. He stood at the edge and watched coldly as I shivered in the pool."She tossed the necklace into the pool herself. You can check the security footage if you don't believe me," I said, standing up for myself.However, Hunter merely smiled sarcastically."Still, Audrey, you can't deny the fact that you did jump into the water. I saw it with my own eyes."When I heard his accusation, I held up the diamond necklace in my hand. "Grandma has passed away, and this necklace was made from her ashes. How could I not jump in after she threw this necklace into the water?"Meanwhile, Sarah tugged his hand pitifully."Hunter, didn't Jerry say that her Grandma is doing well in the hospital?"Hunter's face grew even more stormy."Audrey! That's your own grandmother you're cursing, for God's sake! How could you curse her like that just because you're jealous of Sarah! Retrieve the necklace and apologize to Sarah!"I felt my body freeze f

Chapter 5 He Threw the Necklace Away

Hunter pulled me aside, completely ignoring how pallid I looked."I'll explain everything to you when I get back. Today is Sarah's big day, so don't create a scene here. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you, understand?"Just then, Sarah walked over in a white wedding dress, her eyes filled with tears."Audrey, did you show up now to embarrass me? Have you considered what would happen to me if everyone learns of your existence? What will they say about me from now on?"As soon as she finished speaking, tears poured down her face like pearls from a snapped necklace. The guilty look on Hunter's face instantly turned into anger."Audrey, I can't believe you would purposely come here to cause trouble. How come I never realized you were so evil before?"I smiled bitterly at his barbs."I'm here to get that necklace back. Give it back, and I'll leave," I said.Hunter sneered and took the necklace out of his pocket. I quickly reached out my hand.To my shock, he threw it away the very n

Chapter 6 Ending Their Honeymoon Early

Third-Person POVAfter the wedding, Hunter and Sarah flew abroad and boarded a cruise ship for their honeymoon, as planned."Did you drop Audrey off at home safely?"Jerry Scott, Hunter's assistant, nodded guiltily."Please rest assured, Mr. Jones. We have safely sent Ms. White back home."Hunter felt a lot more relieved upon hearing his answer. After all, Audrey's grandmother, Grace Smith, was still in the hospital. So, Audrey definitely won't leave. Therefore, he figured he could just make it up to her when he got back.However, Hunter couldn't wait any longer before the honeymoon was even over. He returned three days early and removed Audrey from his blocked contacts list.'Audrey, are you finally aware of your mistake?' He texted.Unfortunately, his unease gradually intensified when his text message went unanswered for hours. It was as if something important had gone, making him restless and agitated.After all, Audrey had never gone this long without contacting him. Usual

Chapter 7 Something Is off With Jerry

Hunter bought some nutritional supplements for Grace and a gift for Audrey. On his way to the hospital, he kept thinking about how Audrey would react when she saw him.'Will she cry aggrievedly? Or will she glare at me angrily? Maybe… she'll throw herself into my arms?'A faint smile played on his lips as he thought about it.Hunter swore he would definitely make it up to her now that he was back, feeling bad for putting Audrey through all sorts of misery recently.Halfway through the journey, he suddenly received a call from Jerry."Mr. Jones, uh… Ms. White had checked her grandmother out of the hospital this morning, and I don't know where they are now."Hunter instinctively retorted, "That's impossible. Grandma is too weak to endure any strains. How could she possibly be discharged from the hospital?"On the other end of the phone, Jerry stammered and couldn't answer. He simply said that the hospital had handled the discharge procedures that morning and that he had only just

Chapter 8 Deep Remorse

"Lucas, you're back!" Nora greeted the man before introducing him to me."Audrey, this is my brother, Lucas."She happily bounced over to her brother. "Lucas, this is Audrey, my friend from the East that I'd mentioned to you before."After that, she turned to me and said, "Audrey, this is elk meat. It's delicious. You should stay here for dinner tonight!"As she spoke, she carried the elk meat into the kitchen, eager to set up the dinner. As she flitted away, Lucas stretched a hand to me."Hello."Since he had his back to the light, his tall figure seemed to loom over me. His blond hair shimmered under the dim lighting, and his blue eyes resembled a tranquil sea. Yet, there was no denying that he was as warm as Nora. When he learned that I was about to go to the beach alone to take photos, he swiftly offered me to come aboard his boat. "The scenery at sea is exceptionally breathtaking. I can take you diving nearby, and we can go fishing for fresh sea urchins," he said.Althoug

Chapter 9 The Secret Is Out

Hunter returned to the house he shared with Audrey in a daze. The once cozy living space was now drab, and the flowers on the windowsill had withered as well. Tears streamed down his face as he collapsed to the floor.Just then, the doorbell rang. Hunter hastily scrambled to the door."Audrey!" he called out in a hopeful tone.Unfortunately, there was only a deliveryman holding a small box standing before him instead of the figure he was hoping for."Excuse me, are you Mr. Hunter Jones? You have a parcel from Ms. Audrey White."Hunter eagerly signed his name and accepted the package when he heard Audrey's name.He was dumbstruck after opening the box.That was because there was a fake marriage certificate, Audrey's engagement ring, and several printed images of Sarah's past social media posts in the box.It turned out that Audrey had long known about his marriage registration with Sarah.Each of his affections toward Sarah was posted on social media and became the weapon Sarah

Chapter 10 Life in Noscaria

Sarah excitedly rushed to the meeting place when she got Hunter's call."Honey, I have some good news for you," she said, her tone laced with excitement. "I'm pregnant. It's yours. We're going to be parents."Hunter held the pregnancy test report indifferently and scoffed, "I always use protection. Besides, I've been taking male contraceptive injections for a long time to prevent myself from accidentally impregnating you. So, whose child is it that you're carrying?"Sarah's face turned stark white.Finally, she understood why she didn't get pregnant despite sleeping with Hunter so many times. Regret crawled at her chest, for she wouldn't have thought of getting pregnant by another man out of desperation if she had known about it.Still, she didn't expect Hunter to have used protections the whole time he was with her. Jerry certainly hadn't said a thing about it."Jerry's spilled all the beans that needed spilling. So what about you? Do you have anything to say?"Sarah started sh
