Chapter 1

I yanked the IV needle out of my hand. Blood from the open wound trickled down the back of my hand.Wanda Lynch looked at me and frowned."Enzo Underwood, what are you doing now?"Her tone sounded like she was scolding a misbehaving child.I looked at her and felt my heart getting colder."Let's break up."I said the words with unusual calm.There was no anger or shouting.Wanda froze for a moment. That familiar look of disappointment appeared on her face."Just because I forgot to get your medicine?"Just because I went to see Chris first?"She raised her voice as if I were the one being unreasonable."Can you stop being so childish and selfish?"It was that line again.I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, but it was nothing compared to the chill spreading through my chest.Heartbreak was the worst kind of pain.I looked at her. She was the woman I had loved for five years."Then let's end it."She let out a dismissive scoff and turned around to leave.She was certain

Wanda didn't come.She still didn't come. She didn't even call.On the fourth day, I discharged myself from the hospital in disappointment.I dragged my weak body back to the home Wanda and I shared.It was the home I had personally designed, brick by brick.The moment I pushed the door open, I froze.The living room was a mess.My limited-edition Galactic Fortress model, which I had kept as a prized collection, was completely dismantled.Tiny pieces of it were scattered all over the floor.Chris was sitting on the carpet.He held a core energy reactor part and played with it joyfully.When he saw me, there wasn't a trace of guilt or surprise.Instead, he raised the part and showed it off to me."Enzo, look! This thing even lights up!"At that moment, I felt all the blood in my body rush to my head.I had spent countless sleepless nights assembling that model.It was something I cherished the most.Wanda walked out of the kitchen with a plate of cut fruit.Seeing my e

"Enzo, put the phone down!"Wanda snapped out of it and ran toward me. She tried to snatch my phone away.I sidestepped her. The camera stayed locked on Chris."Say it," I uttered coldly.Chris avoided my gaze and stammered, but he couldn't get a single word out.When Wanda failed to snatch the phone, she started throwing a fit."Fine. Fine!"She pointed at me. Her entire body was trembling with anger."Enzo, we're going cold!"With that, she grabbed Chris and stormed out without looking back.Bang!The door slammed shut.This was her usual tactic to force me into apologizing.Every time we argued, she would say we're going cold and block me on everything.Within three days, I'd have no choice but to reach out because of work.Then came the apology and reconciliation.She was certain this time would be no different.After all, the company we built together revolved around its core technology, the Nord Ark system. It was my life's work.She believed that for the sake o

After the meeting ended, Wanda called me to her office.The moment the door shut, she started shouting furiously."Enzo! What the hell was that?"You did that on purpose, didn't you? You wanted to humiliate me in front of the investors!"She swept everything off her desk in one motion."You embarrassed Chris! Do you even know how hard he's worked?"I looked at her furious expression. She felt like a stranger.'Hard work? Did he work hard to steal someone else's work?'I said nothing and just watched her coldly.My indifference and silence only fueled her rage.She stormed up to me and pointed a finger at my face."I'm giving you an ultimatum!"Apologize to Mr. Lionel and the others right now! Tell them you weren't in your right mind today!"Then go apologize to Chris! Beg for his forgiveness!"Otherwise, I'll replace you with Chris as the lead for Phase Two of Nord Ark!"She thought this was still my weak spot.She thought my life's work was something she could use to c

Wanda was utterly dumbfounded.She grabbed her phone and frantically dialed my number.She kept trying and trying, but all she got was the same cold automated voice."Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable."Reluctant to give up, she tried to message me.Realizing I had blocked her, she trembled.In fact, I had blocked her on every single platform.It was exactly what she used to do to me.Only this time, I wouldn't be adding her back.Panic set in. She was at her wit's end.Before she could even process the mass resignation, the technical department called."Ms. Lynch! Something's wrong! All our backend systems have crashed!"We can't access the Nord Ark system! We're locked out!"Before she could recover, another wave hit.Investors started calling one after another."Ms. Lynch! What was that situation with that man at the review meeting?""Does your company have fraudulent practices?""I'm withdrawing my investment immediately!"The calls overwh

Wanda ambushed me downstairs at my new office.After just a few days, she looked completely worn out.Gone was the elegance and arrogance she once carried.The moment she saw me, her eyes welled with tears."Enzo!"She ran over and tried to grab my hand, but I sidestepped her."I know I was wrong. I really do."She was crying and spoke through choked sobs."Will you come back with me? The company can't survive without you."We've been together for five years. Please give me one more chance."She was trying to guilt-trip me.It was her final and most effective choice of weapon.In the past, the moment she cried, I would give in.But now, looking at her tears, I felt nothing.It was ironic."Help you?"I looked at her and spoke coldly."Help you go back and keep stealing my work?"Then hand it over to Chris so he can keep being the technical director?"My words were like a knife that pierced straight through her heart.Her face turned pale instantly. Even her tears se

Wanda refused to leave.Like a mad person, she waited downstairs at my company for days.She would linger around from day to night.She lost her composure and looked almost like a beggar.She was trying to win my sympathy through suffering.Unfortunately, she miscalculated.I walked past her every day without sparing her a glance.In fact, Melissa and I made no effort to hide our closeness.We went to work together and left the office together.We exchanged knowing smiles during our work discussions.We served each other food at meals.Each moment was like a dull blade that slowly cut into Wanda's heart.That evening, the temperature in South City dropped.As Melissa and I walked out of the building, a cold breeze blew past us.She shuddered a little.I immediately took off my coat and draped it over her shoulders.I then adjusted the collar for her.My movements were gentle, and my gaze was soft.Wanda saw everything from not far away.She had once received that sam

Later, I heard that Wanda was living in a cheap rental on the outskirts of the city.Her room was filled with empty bottles. The air smelled sour.Curled up on a worn-out couch, she held a phone with a cracked screen.She was watching the replay of my proposal over and over again.In the video, I stood confident and composed while Melissa smiled radiantly.We looked perfect together, and we seemed so happy.Wanda had lost a tremendous amount of weight. Her gaze looked hollow and empty.She kept muttering to herself."If only I had brought the medicine."If only I hadn't gone to see Chris."If only."Unfortunately, hypothetical 'what ifs' didn't matter in the world.She once held the cure to everything, but she threw it away with her own hands again and again.Regret slowly chipped away at her conscience.She felt miserable day and night.Her life seemed to be reaching its end.Melissa and I held our wedding by the sea.The sun was bright, and the breeze was gentle.Fr

The police found a diary among Wanda's belongings.They contacted me and asked if I wanted to claim it.I hesitated, but in the end, I still went to get it.The diary was thick. It recorded her entire journey from arrogance to regret and complete despair.At the beginning, it was filled with complaints about me.She wrote that I held her back and that I wasn't generous enough.In the middle, after I left, she wrote about her panic and regrets.She wrote that for the first time, she realized how empty and helpless life was without me.On the very last page, there was only one sentence.The handwriting was messy. It looked as if she had used the last of her strength."The medicine that could've saved me was always in my hands."I just kept throwing it away myself."The officer handed me the diary and asked if I wanted to take it.I looked at it, and it felt like I was staring at Wanda's regret-filled face.That diary felt too burdensome for me.In the end, I refused.I ha

I held the diagnosis and stood on the balcony for a long time.The evening wind rustled the paper in my hand.In the end, I picked up a lighter and set it on fire.The flame rose and consumed every word on the paper.It also burned away the heavy, suffocating past.Be it love, hatred, obsession or betrayal, it was all over.With Wanda gone, and with the diagnosis reduced to ashes, everything had finally faded away.What I needed to do wasn't dwell on the past.Instead, I needed to cherish what was in front of me.I turned around and went back into the living room. Melissa was reading on the couch.I walked over and hugged her from behind."Mel.""Hmm?""Thank you."'Thank you for showing up and pulling me out of the darkness. Thank you for showing me what a healthy kind of love looks like.'She put her book down, turned around, and hugged me back."Silly. You don't need to thank me."A year later, our son, Harry Underwood, was born.Harry looked like me, but his eyes
