Chapter 1

Emma's POVI stared blankly ahead, wondering if I was imagining things.Benjamin Shaw reached out and lightly touched my forehead."Why are you looking at me like that? Are you still feeling unwell?"I shook my head."I'm fine now. The company is in a critical expansion phase. You should go back."He pulled me into his arms."What's more important than my wife? I'm staying here with you."Just then, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, and his breathing faltered for a split second.Then, he looked at me with a trace of guilt."Emma, something urgent came up at the company. I have to deal with it. Rest here at the hospital. I'll come back tonight."Before I could respond, he had already turned and left in a hurry.The scrolling comments appeared again.[What company emergency? Samantha Hanson just sent him a photo of herself in a maid's outfit. He's rushing off for a hookup!][If Emma Jones follows him now, she'll catch them in the act!]I took a deep breath, swung

I ended the call and said calmly, "It's nothing. A friend of mine was talking about going to Imperia."Benjamin stepped closer and pulled me into his arms. "Emma, if you want to travel, give me a few days to wrap up work. I can go with you in three days."I gently pushed him away. "Let's rest."Early the next morning, he left for the office.However, from what I had already seen scrolling past those strange on-screen comments, I knew he was not going to work; he was going to see Samantha.The moment he was gone, I went straight to a law firm and had them draft a divorce agreement for me.That afternoon, Benjamin called."Emma, today's our tenth anniversary. There's a jewelry exhibition tonight. You can choose anything you like, and I'll buy it all for you."He had forgotten.Our actual anniversary was yesterday.I forced a small smile. "As long as it's from you, I'll like it."At the exhibition, Benjamin spent money like it meant nothing: two necklaces, a pair of earrings, t

However, the phone kept ringing insistently. In the end, Benjamin picked up the call.His expression changed instantly, and he slammed on the brakes.Caught off guard, I was thrown forward, my forehead hitting the hard frame of the car.He said urgently, "Emma, something's come up at the company. I need to deal with it right away. Can you head back on your own?"I lifted my gaze to the floating comments above.[I'm so sick of it. How long is he going to keep using the 'company emergency' excuse?][It's obviously Samantha. She called to say she’s been in a car accident. That’s why he’s rushing off.]Samantha again.A dull, persistent ache spread through my chest.When I did not respond, Benjamin grew visibly impatient. He got out of the car and yanked open the passenger door."It's really urgent. Once I handle this, I can focus completely on our trip."Emma, be good."He did not even notice the swelling on my forehead where I had hit it. I forced my eyes wide open, refusing

Third-person POVBenjamin woke up to find it was already past eight in the evening. He rubbed his throbbing head, still foggy from the hangover, but the moment his eyes landed on the clock hanging on the wall, he snapped fully awake.In a panic, he scrambled into his clothes and rushed for the door.Samantha, who had been nearby, quickly reached out to stop him."Mr. Shaw, I made your favorite breakfast. At least have a little before you go."Benjamin brushed her arm aside."It's too late. I need to go back to Emma."He had originally planned to leave that morning, but Samantha had insisted he stay for lunch.Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was the mood, but one thing had led to another, and they had ended up tangled together again, passion flaring out of control. That was why he had slept straight through until now.An overwhelming sense of unease gripped him.He needed to see Emma immediately.As his gaze flickered, something caught his eye. The necklace around Samantha

Samantha was dragged into the house by bodyguards, panic surging through her.The moment she saw Benjamin, she rushed toward him, putting on a coquettish smile."Mr. Shaw, if you wanted to see me, all you had to do was call. Why would you have them drag me here like this?"Benjamin grabbed her by the throat, his gaze icy as he asked, "What did you say to Emma? Why did she leave?"If he found out about the day she had gone to provoke Emma, there would be hell to pay. Samantha forced a flattering smile onto her face."Mr. Shaw, I've never even met Mrs. Shaw. How would I have had the chance to talk to her?"Benjamin had no patience for her act. His mind was filled with thoughts of Emma, and he tightened his grip without hesitation."The day before yesterday. Blue Source Cafe. Tell me everything you said to Emma: word for word. Or don't blame me for what happens next."The pressure around her throat made it clear; he really might kill her. Desperate to save herself, Samantha gasped

Chapter 6

Due to that promise with Cedric, I found myself checking his profile picture every year, sometimes deliberately, sometimes without even realizing it.I had genuinely hoped he would find someone he loved instead of ending up alone.However, one year turned into two…and then, it was six.His profile picture never changed.Coming to Provence had been a spur-of-the-moment decision, made in a rush of anger and heartbreak after I discovered Benjamin's affair.At the time, I had not thought it through. I just wanted to get away to somewhere I could breathe, somewhere I could let it all out.I also had not decided whether I could accept Cedric's feelings. He clearly sensed that too, which was why he never brought it up. Instead, he simply stayed by my side, doing everything he could to keep me entertained…to make me smile.However, the more he did that, the heavier the guilt in my chest became.After we finished taking photos, Cedric mentioned that two bottles of wine had just been del

I looked straight into his eyes and spoke slowly, each word deliberate."But I don't miss you at all. Every time I think of you, all I can see is you and Samantha in that bathroom, sneaking around behind my back."When I was lying in the hospital after my accident, you couldn't wait to run off and sleep with her. Ten years together, and you couldn't even remember our anniversary correctly."Benjamin…just admit it. You stopped loving me a long time ago."He shook his head, tears falling."No, Emma… I love you. I really do. I just… I just made a mistake."Cedric grabbed him by the collar and threw a punch straight into his face."Benjamin, what did you promise me back then? And now you cheat on her? I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard!"Blow after blow landed on him. Benjamin did not even fight back; he could not.Seeing that Cedric might actually beat him to death, I stepped forward and pulled him back."Enough. I don't want to dwell on the past anymore. No one is ob

Chapter 8

If I chose to be with him, maybe it would not be long before he grew tired of me.Just like how Benjamin and I had once loved each other so deeply, yet even that could not withstand the slow erosion of time.Perhaps Benjamin still loved me now, but it was no longer the same kind of love. The purity was gone.Cedric answered my question seriously, saying, "Emma, as you said, we've never actually been together. No matter how much I say I love you, or promise I'll never change, after what happened with Benjamin…you won't be able to fully trust me again."He paused, his tone steady."I just want you to know that when it comes to love, I feel the same way you do. I won't settle. And if one day our love fades, I'll tell you honestly. I won't betray you by cheating."Meeting his intense, sincere gaze, I found myself unable to respond. I lowered my head."Cedric… I need time. I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer right now."He smiled gently."Emma, don't pressure yourself. I'll respe
