Chapter 1

My blood rushed to my head. I kept dialing Elsie Gadd’s number over and over, but she did not pick up. By the time I called again, her phone was already switched off. I sat on the couch and smoked through the entire night.She did not come home all night. It was not until the next morning that she finally returned.“Leon, you’re up so early?”I looked up at her. She did not notice my bloodshot eyes. Those were the obvious signs I had not slept at all.“I was playing cards all night. I’m exhausted. I’m going to sleep first.” She yawned and walked past me straight toward the bedroom.I called out to her. My voice, unused for hours, came out hoarse and rough. “Didn’t you say you had to work overtime at the company last night? How did you end up playing cards?”A flicker of panic crossed her face, but she quickly regained her composure.“It was the first day of New Year's. The company's not that unreasonable. I only stayed a little while before my boss let me off early. Since I was

I glanced over at Elsie’s tense face and gave a faint smile. “No. Why? Did something come up today?”“N-No, I was just checking if my friends texted me. If not, it’s nothing.”She scrolled through her phone on her own. The smile never left her lips.I held back from asking who Aaron was and instead reminded her of something else. “The food’s getting cold. Let’s eat first.” We still have to go to my parents’ place to pay them a visit. I’ve already prepared everything. We can leave right after.”She was stunned for a moment. “Why do we still have to go? Didn’t we already visit before New Year's?”She had never liked interacting with my family. Over the years, I had gone home less and less because of her.This time, I did not budge. “We haven’t spent the holidays with them in five years. It won’t be right if we skip it again.”Her expression darkened, but she did not argue. She just lowered her head and ate in silence.Suddenly, I felt exhausted. To be with her, I had nearly cut t

Chapter 3

For an entire week, Elsie did not say a single word to me. Ever since she came back that day, she had been locking herself in the room and rarely came out. Even though we were living under the same roof, we barely crossed paths.In order to gather more evidence, I hacked into Elsie’s computer. As expected, I found a large number of chat records with other men, spanning nearly three years.The most frequent name was a man called Aaron. Their conversations were explicit, and the number of hotel bookings was shockingly high.I stood frozen for a long time before slowly coming back to my senses.I searched everywhere for the video my friend had sent me but could not find it on her computer. There were no other videos either. It seemed like she had saved it somewhere else. I carefully went through every record I could find.It was not until after we got married that I truly saw another side of her.She was a gentle and dutiful wife in front of me. In front of friends and colleagues, s

Elsie stared at the documents in front of her. When she finally looked up, her face had already gone completely pale. Instinctively, she tried to deny it, “I-I don’t know what this is. It has nothing to do with me!”After a moment, she suddenly calmed herself down. The panic in her eyes faded. “I don’t know where you got these things to frame me, but I’ve done nothing wrong. I’m clean, so no matter what you say, I won’t admit it.”She knew the best strategy now was denial. As long as she insisted it was fabricated, I would have no way to prove anything.However, she underestimated what I had. I pulled out another set of hotel records.“Then explain this.”Line after line clearly documented her hotel bookings with different men. Her face appeared in the surveillance captures. It was clear and undeniable. She could not make an argument.She could not even find a way to deny it. Silence filled the space between us, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. The silence was broken by her

Chapter 5

Elsie stared at me in shock, unable to believe I was really asking for a divorce. After all these years, I had been nothing more than a doormat, revolving my entire life around her.She had long grown used to my compliance. She never imagined there would come a day when I would actually leave her.“You’re really divorcing me? Once we divorce, there won’t be any chance of getting back together. Even then, you still want this?”I glanced at her, a little puzzled. Did she really think I was just playing hard to get?“Yeah, and I don’t plan on getting back together with you.”Elsie fell silent again. Panic slowly crept into her expression. She thought I would always stay by her side unconditionally, no matter what she did. She never expected me to break the pattern.After all, I was good to her, and I earned well. She could not bear to lose me. So for the first time, she lowered her pride.“Honey, don’t be mad. I’ll cut ties with them, okay? I won’t contact them anymore. Stop making

Chapter 6

It turned out to be my good friend, Vincent Wales. He was the one who had sent me the video of Elsie cheating in the first place. I never expected that he was also one of the people involved.By then, I had already pieced together who sent me the package, and I could guess why he had kindly sent me that warning video in the first place.Still, I did not want to say anything anymore. I did not want to do anything either. I was exhausted, and so drained I did not even feel like moving.My phone, tossed aside, suddenly rang. It was Vincent.“Leon, how’ve things been with your wife lately? You didn’t really explain last time. Was that woman really your wife?”I gave a brief response. He paused for a moment, then continued, “So it’s true, and you still aren’t divorcing her? She’s cheated on you so many times, I honestly feel bad for you just watching this.“If you ask me, a woman like that should’ve been dumped long ago. It’s embarrassing having her around. What if someone recognizes

Chapter 7

Elsie came home and saw that I had already packed away almost half the house. My actions finally made her panic. “Leon! What are you doing? Are you really ending this marriage?!”I kept packing without responding. I had no interest in answering such pointless questions.My silence only made her more anxious, as though she was about to lose something important.Even though she had been entangled with other men, she had never once thought about divorcing me. Her thoughts, strangely enough, had always remained fixed on me.“Leon, please don’t do this, okay? We’re not getting divorced. You said you’d stay with me forever.”For a moment, I was pulled back to our wedding vows. Back then, I had been full of hope, imagining our future, even thinking about what our children might look like. I believed I could give her happiness, because she had chosen me.However, all of that was in the past now. I no longer loved her.“Don’t touch me. I feel disgusted.”She was stunned for a moment. Sh

Chapter 8

In the end, Elsie softened. She could not bear to watch her former lover die like that, and she did not dare ask me for money. Hence, she turned to illegal loans to save Vincent.However, when repayment time came, she could not pay a cent. As a result, she was forced by the lenders to sleep with different men. Over time, she slowly became used to it.Vincent only learned the truth after he recovered. By then, nearly a year had already passed, but there was nothing he could do even after he found out about it.Those people were ruthless. After so long, Elsie had only managed to cover the interest. If she stopped, she would owe hundreds of thousands of dollars.Vincent simply did not have that kind of money.Hence, he could only watch helplessly as Elsie was forced to drift between different men every day.It broke him emotionally, but he had no choice but to accept reality. Elsie sensed his inner turmoil and eventually gave in. One day, they fell back into each other’s arms. From

Chapter 9

Elsie’s face went pale. She thought that as long as she came clean, I would forgive her, but I still wanted a divorce. “I told you, I’m not agreeing to this! Even if I die, I’m staying with you!”I looked at her coldly, like she was nothing more than a slab of meat. “Are you sure? If you are, then I’m not getting involved in your situation anymore. Whatever happens to you after that has nothing to do with me.”She hesitated for a moment, caught between freedom and what she thought was love.I already knew what she would choose, so I was not worried about it at all.Sure enough, after a long pause, she gave in. “Fine. We’ll go through with the divorce tomorrow. But don’t forget what you promised me.”Everything went smoothly and faster than I had expected.The next day, we went to the courthouse. Elsie agreed without much resistance to leave with nothing.While signing the papers, I noticed a hint of reluctance on Vincent’s face. It was as though he did not want her to accept tho

Chapter 10

Elsie paused for a moment. Over the past few days, even though I had not been kind to her, I had not made things difficult either.This was the first time I had spoken to her so harshly. Her eyes immediately reddened. “Are you serious?”I gave an impatient reply. I had been the butt of jokes at work these past few days because of her. Someone like me, who always kept a low profile, had suddenly become everyone’s gossip topic.She studied my expression. Once she realized I was not bluffing, her mood sank, and she finally turned to leave.“Alright. I got it.”After that, she stopped showing up. Just when I thought I could finally relax, an unwelcome guest appeared.Vincent dropped his usual submissive act and showed his true colors. “I’m warning you, stay away from Elsie. She’s mine now. If I find out you still have any thoughts about her, you’ll regret it.”I almost laughed. Was he not even pretending anymore? We had known each other for about as long as I had known her. Looki
