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'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

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

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

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
