Chapter 1

I forgot how I left the hospital and made it home. By the time my newlywed husband, Hugo Reid, returned, the house was already a complete mess.I had smashed our wedding photo on the floor, sending shards of glass everywhere. I had torn down all the bright red wedding decorations on the walls and even wrecked the wedding bed. Hugo stood in the entryway and silently finished smoking a cigarette. Then, he walked over and checked my hands. "Are you hurt?"I yanked my hand away. I could no longer hold back the anger pressing against my chest. With bloodshot eyes, I demanded, "Why?"Hugo arched his brow. "Why did I marry you?"He paused as though he was actually contemplating it for a moment before breaking into a smile. "You're careful, calm, and willing to give up your career for me. You're wife material, unlike Freda; she's a spoiled, carefree princess. I can't even rely on her for basic housework."Noticing the tears in my eyes, he stepped forward and pulled me into his arms. "Co

Hugo finally looked up and frowned. He was about to respond when his phone rang. He took one look at the caller ID, smiled, and answered the call. "What is it, Ms. Foster? I'm stewing the soup for you. If you're bored, go play with our son."Just then, he paused, gave me a meaningful look, and responded, "Don't worry. She doesn't know."After hanging up, he shifted his gaze toward me. "Freda doesn't know I've told you everything. So, pretend as if you're unaware because she doesn't want to lose you as a friend."With that, he poured the soup into a thermos and hurried out.I stopped him and repeated, "I want a divorce."He looked over his shoulder, confused. "We just received our marriage certificate. Why would we get a divorce? Do you want everyone in our circle to laugh at us? Be reasonable and stop kicking a fuss."I grabbed the vase beside me and smashed it in front of him. "I'm kicking a fuss? While I was mourning my dad, you two were fooling around in bed behind my back.

Hugo's eyes were bloodshot, like a demon from hell. "Tione, Freda tried to take her own life because of what you said!"I froze. "What did you just say?"He yelled at me, "You know perfectly well she just gave birth and is emotionally unstable! Why did you provoke her?"Before I could say a single word, he shoved me into the car. "Both of you have Rh-negative blood. You're the only one who can save her!"He sped through several red lights in a row before dragging me into the hospital. "Doctor, she has Rh-negative blood! She can donate!"His whole body was shaking as he said that. I had never seen Hugo look so disheveled and desperate. I was frozen in place, my mind completely blank. Like a marionette, I allowed him to drag me into the blood donation room and let him roughly yank up my sleeve. I didn't respond to anything around me. My mind was entirely consumed by the image of Hugo's panicked, frantic state over Freda. I only snapped back to reality when the doctor's voice r

I apathetically switched off my phone and ignored Hugo. My tears soaked the pillow as I thought about the baby I had lost. I had never had much family. After my father passed away, I had no relatives left in this world. Consequently, I constantly dreamed about having a child of my own, someone who was related to me by blood. Yet, Hugo had personally killed my child. I lay there with my eyes wide open until morning. Then, I called for a nurse to help me arrange my discharge from the hospital.Right then, Hugo walked in, his expression stormy. Without saying a single word, he reached out and slapped me across the face. The blow left my ears ringing and my mind a complete blank. I only realized what had happened when I tasted the metallic tang of blood at the corner of my mouth. He grabbed me by the hair and shoved his phone into my face. There was a trending topic on it. "Popular Singer Freda Foster Gives Birth Out of Wedlock. Lewd Photos From Her Past Exposed."Beneath the h

By the time Hugo arrived at the funeral parlor, the service was already underway. Amidst the quiet sobs around him, he looked up and saw the black-and-white portrait on the altar. He instinctively raised his hand to rub his eyes, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks with him. Yet, as he drew closer, he could no longer deceive himself. Hugo stared at everything before him blankly, murmuring, "How is this possible? How can this be? I never intended for her to die!"Rachel's eyes were red as she glared at him with hatred. "What are you doing here? Get lost! Scram!"Tione doesn't want to see you. Hurry up and leave!"Hugo was still reeling from the shock of learning of my death. He didn't get upset. Instead, he looked at Rachel hopefully. "She's still alive, right? Where are you hiding her? Call her out and tell her to drop the act!"I've already had all her videos deleted, and I won't hold what she did to Freda against her anymore. So, tell her to come back!"After hearing

It finally dawned on Hugo that the person who had been full of life just a day ago had now been reduced to a small, wooden box. The very next second, he burst into tears and sobbed, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"But there was no one left to respond to him. No one would ever again look at him with starry eyes or bring him a bowl of hot soup in the middle of the night. He allowed the pain in his stomach to surge and churn, as if he were intentionally punishing himself. The painkillers were right there in the bedside drawer, yet he didn't budge, clutching that box tightly for fear that it might vanish into thin air the next moment. Then, the lock turned, and Atlas walked in. "Ms. Foster is looking for you, Mr. Reid," he explained meekly.Hugo's lifeless eyes finally flickered. With a raspy voice, he demanded, "How did things come to this?"Atlas answered cautiously, "M-Mr. Reid, you sent us an email. Have you forgotten about it?"Hugo shot to his feet, a bloodthirsty light emanatin

Chapter 7

Hugo ignored Freda and shoved the email on his phone screen right in front of her face. His voice was slow and measured, yet it carried a bone-chilling coldness. "You sent this email, didn't you?"Freda's eyes widened involuntarily, and she muttered, "I deleted it. How could it…"His eyes crinkled into a smile, yet the waterworks began. He couldn't accept that such a clumsy, cheap trick had driven his own wife to her death. He abruptly seized Freda by the throat. "Why did you do it? She's your best friend! Why did you drive her to her death? "Tee did nothing wrong. We're the ones who betrayed her. We are the ones in the wrong! "You don't deserve to live. I'll kill you and make things right with Tee!"Freda's face turned a deep shade of crimson as she struggled to draw breath. Victor pried Hugo away with all his might, shielding Freda behind him. He hadn't expected Hugo to be this insane, and he was a little panicky now. "It's illegal to murder someone, Mr. Reid."Hugo's lip

The door was slammed shut. Hugo walked into another room and delivered a sharp kick to Victor's groin. He took one look at the expedited DNA report and let out another cold chuckle. "You two actually dared to conspire and deceive me!"Victor winced in pain, yet he still forced a smile. "Mr. Reid, believe it or not, she played me too."Before leaving, Hugo spat out, "Get lost, and take your son with you!"Victor pressed, "What about her?"Hugo came to a halt and responded coldly, "She has to go down to the afterlife and apologize to Tee." Then, he sat right outside the door.Freda's screams and curses rang out from inside the room. "Don't touch me! Get off of me! I'm sorry, Hugo. Please spare me! Save me. I'm begging you!" Hugo merely sat in his chair, holding an urn in his arms, stroking it over and over again. "I've avenged you, Tee. Do you hear that? Turns out, the child Freda gave birth to wasn't mine after all."Right after saying that, he chuckled. "I actually killed our c

Chapter 9

Two years later, I sat in a café in Elarion, listening to a domestic radio broadcast. "Hugo Reid, former CEO of Reid Group, has been charged with incitement to sexual assault and murder. Following a two-year trial, he has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a one-year reprieve, and he'll be permanently stripped of his political rights."When I heard that, the coffee in my hand wavered slightly before settling into stillness. Paul's hurried footsteps echoed behind me. "Tione, you forgot your things again." He immediately handed me my bag. "Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?"I smiled and shook my head. "Everyone in our hiking group is female. Do you really want to tag along?"He hastily shook his head. He found women to be a massive headache, always chattering away, incredibly annoying. He preferred someone like me—gentle, soft-spoken, and quiet. He found me easy on the ears and even easier on the eyes. Yet, he still couldn't help but fret. "If you're tired o

Without waiting for my response, Hugo continued, "The truth is, I found you a year ago. It was all thanks to Paul showing up and beating me up. I didn't seek you out immediately because…"He lifted his pant leg, revealing an electronic ankle monitor, and added helplessly, "I hired the best lawyer and fought a long legal battle just to get this one-year reprieve—and the chance to see you. I know that no matter what I say or do, you probably won't forgive me, but I still wanted to see you."I wanted to see if you're doing well. I'm so sorry. This is all my fault!"I love you, Tee. I should've realized my feelings sooner. You're the one I love. When I heard you were dead, I—""Cindy, hurry up!" my teammates shouted from up ahead. Hugo didn't complete his sentence. Without another word, he wore a faint smile as he took me in, as if trying to etch my face into his memory.My brows drew together. "Are you done? I have to go."He nodded reluctantly and stepped aside. I took my leave w
