Chapter 1

It was stifling inside the mascot suit—so hot I could hardly catch my breath. When I looked up, I spotted my wife, Marissa Osborne, walking through the doors, a handbag slung over her arm. My heart swelled.Last night, I'd told her that I'd found a part-time job as a mascot at Glory Grocer. It paid 300 dollars a day, and if I kept at it for a month, I could buy her the handbag she'd been eyeing. I perked up, walking resolutely toward Marissa. However, I then saw a tall man tagging along behind her. He was her first love, Dominic Finch. My eyes dropped to their hands, fingers tightly intertwined—a display of deep affection. My heart stopped. I froze to the spot, lost in a daze.Just then, the store manager rushed over and smacked me upside the head, jolting me back to reality. "Hey! Why are you spacing out, dumbass? We've got customers. Get moving! We're not paying you to space out!" I lowered my head and clenched my fists into balls, holding back my anger silently. Mari

I couldn't help but curl my lip into a bitter smile as I watched Marissa and Dominic flirting right in front of me. Marissa was always repulsed by my touch, so doing something so intimate like tucking her hair behind her ear was just out of the question. When we shared a bed, the boundary between us was clear, with a massive body pillow positioned between us.According to her, she was waiting for my family to accept her before she could bring herself to come close to me. But the truth was, I already had a falling out with my family, all for her sake. My mother even suffered a heart attack from the stress and anger, and she forbade me from visiting her. Marissa kept chatting with Dominic, a youthful bashfulness playing on her face. She handed the shopping bags of suits to him and said, "Please don't feel pressured, Dom. It makes me happy to be able to get you things." I recognized the brand logo on those bags. The suits were on the pricier side. Clearly, Marissa had no problem sp

Finally, I took off the mascot head as I watched Marissa walk away. Marissa, the woman I'd put on a pedestal for three years, suddenly seemed rotten to the core. Like a rotten apple, she was impossible to stomach. I told the store manager I was done with the job and got the hell out of there with the day's wages. As I made my way home on my electric scooter, I noticed a food truck selling grilled sausages. The aroma that wafted in the air was enticing, instantly making my mouth water. Normally, I could never bring myself to spend the money on these snacks unless Marissa had a craving for them. But today, I went on a spree, buying my way down the entire food truck street. Only then did the resentment within me fade a little.When I got home, I turned on the air-conditioning and lounged on the couch, eating while scrolling through videos. By some twist of fate, I came across a livestream from Foursquare Dining and saw Marissa on screen. She was wearing disposable gloves, pee

This wasn't Marissa's first time forcing me to back down by playing the divorce card. The last time it happened, she'd aborted our child behind my back. In the same way, she wailed hysterically about wanting to divorce me. I could still vividly remember the way she looked when she made a scene. She had once been pregnant, but she decided—unilaterally—to abort the baby before I even found out. I only learned about it because I noticed a ball of bloodied tissues in the bathroom that day. I thought she had gotten hurt, so I dug through the tissues. That was when I saw it—a crumpled-up abortion report. I rushed over to Marissa to confront her, my body shaking uncontrollably."You took it upon yourself to abort our baby?"At that time, her eyes reddened instantly, tears spilling down her face, making her look absolutely pitiful. "We can't even make ends meet, darling. How are we going to raise a child?""But that's not reason enough for you not to discuss it with me!" I roared.

The salary I handed over wasn't enough for Marissa to buy a house and a car for Dominic. I thought long and hard before it finally hit me. On our wedding day, Marissa had taken a gold lock—a family heirloom—from me."Darling, this is far too valuable. Why don't I keep it safe for you?" she had said.The gold lock wasn't some delicate trinket. If I remembered correctly, it weighed at least 30 pounds. Because my mom had been against my marriage to Marissa and had frozen my card, I had no choice but to run away with the gold lock.After Marissa put it away for safekeeping, I never asked her about it again. I had always assumed that it would be passed down to our child one day.It was very likely that the gold lock had already been sold. Still, given its flawless craftmanship, it was unlikely that it would have been melted down and remade into another piece of jewelry.After Dad passed away, Mom had clung to this gold lock. It was something that helped her get by while she missed hi

Mom had run out of skincare, so I went with her to get new ones. The moment I stepped into the store, I spotted Marissa restocking the shelves.Not in the mood to get into a public argument, I tugged on Mom's sleeve, signaling that we should leave. However, Marissa called out to me anyway. She scrutinized my appearance, then burst out laughing. Her gaze lingered on my arm, which was linked with Mom, and she teased, "Hey, Ainsley. It's only been a month since I last saw you, and you've already gotten yourself a sugar mommy?" She rolled her eyes in disdain. Then, she grabbed a cheap bottle from a shelf and threw it carelessly onto the counter. "Your sugar mommy looks a little rough, don't you think? This is a luxury store. A lotion like this one should be more your speed."I knew a bit about lotions. The bottle she gave us was from an old product line from a few years ago. Not only that, the lotion had already expired. Mom swept the lotion into the trash can unapologetically.

On the day of the party, Marissa showed up just as I expected. After all, I did send the invitation in Dominic's name. With how deeply she loved him, there was no way she'd miss it.I stood upstairs, looking down at her as she moved through the crowd. At the same time, I also had my eyes on Dominic, who was busy networking. From what I'd heard, his little pursuit wasn't going quite as planned. The mayor's daughter, Crystal Orozco, was a woman of high standing. After all she had seen, why would she be charmed by a brat?When Crystal spotted me, she lifted the hem of her gown and walked toward me, raising her wine glass with a playful smile on her face. "Remember me, Ainsy?"Of course I did. We were in the same club for three years when we were kids.I nodded, clinking my glass with hers. All of a sudden, she leaned in, her eyes twinkling. "Your mom told me you're planning to get back at those two downstairs tonight. Do you need my help?"Her smile was so radiant that I found myse

To make matters worse, Crystal had stepped forward at this moment to watch the scene unfold.Unwilling to leave a bad impression on Crystal, Dominic shoved Marissa's hands away. But he used too much force and sent her crashing to the floor.Marissa then decided to go all out, wailing as she slumped on the floor, her eyes bloodshot. "Dominic, you betrayed the true and pure love we had between us."Right at this moment, I pressed the button in my hand. Suddenly, a montage of Marissa and Dominic entering and leaving hotels together began playing on the main screen. She bought all kinds of luxury items for him, and they frequented all kinds of high-end restaurants. Toward the end of the montage was a photo of Dominic, half-naked.Dominic panicked and shouted, "Switch it off now!" Nevertheless, the montage quickly continued playing, revealing photos of him sucking up to various wealthy women, along with a series of explicit photos. In the end, a voice recording played. He said in
