Chapter 1

"Even if Candice Jenkins is really dead, there should at least be a body. There's nothing at all. Are you really going to stop looking for her?"I clenched my phone so tightly my fingers hurt, but for a long time, I said nothing.At the same time, angry voices drifted out from the private room behind the door."Faking your own death is one thing, but you could've at least left your sister's body behind. At least then Jon Cole would've given up.""He's practically gone insane searching for her everywhere. It's honestly pitiful to watch."Candice lounged lazily against the sofa, her expression unreadable."I was afraid Austin Ryles would be too upset, so I had my sister's body cremated right away. If Jon wants to keep searching, let him.""After what his family did to force me into submission back then, this is the least they deserve. Think of it as payback."Bitterness flashed through her eyes.She had never forgiven my mother for drugging her in a moment of desperation, unable

I let out a bitter laugh and shook my head."I'll just have it removed quietly myself."Since she was willing to stay by Austin's side under a new identity, then I would grant her that wish completely.Let Candice disappear from this world for good.…I had just gotten into the car and was about to leave when I saw Candice hurrying toward the hospital in a panic.A moment later, my phone buzzed with a message from her:"Jon, you're my brother-in-law, our family's finally getting some wonderful news. I'm about to give birth!"My wife of five years, who had once loved me so deeply, was now calling me 'brother-in-law' over and over again, treating my child as someone else's.At that moment, everything suddenly felt meaningless.I did not bother replying. Instead, I headed straight to the hospital and went to the registration counter to apply for kidney surgery.The young nurse looked at me sympathetically."Where's your spouse? You should at least discuss something this seriou

Chapter 3

I ignored the fact that she was in such a panic. Keeping my tone casual, I said, "Your sister's gone. My family arranged a blind date for me. A widower remarrying is perfectly normal, isn't it?"…Candice's expression darkened immediately."No!"Maybe she realized her reaction had been too intense, because a second later she forced herself to lower her voice."I mean… my sister's only been missing for less than a year. You can't remarry this quickly."I'm her biological sister, and you're my brother-in-law. You and my sister were so in love when she was alive. How can you change your heart so fast? I can't just watch you leave the Jenkins family."And what if... I mean, what if one day my sister comes back? They still haven't found her body. She might not even be dead…"Watching how nervous she looked honestly confused me a little.She clearly hated me. Could barely stand me. So why was she trying so hard to stop me from remarrying?When she saw me continue flipping through t

When I did not respond, Austin seemed to snap from humiliation and anger. He raised his hand and slapped me hard across the face."My wife is dead, so Candice belongs with me forever now! Don't think you can take her away from me!"Just then, Candice arrived. The moment she saw him raise his hand at me, she instinctively rushed over.…Her eyes landed on the bright red handprint on my face, and anger flashed across her expression."Austin! He's still our brother-in-law. How could you…"However, in the very next second, Austin clutched the child tightly and burst into tears."I didn't mean to! Jon hates that we had a child together. He tried to snatch the baby away and throw him to the ground. I only hit him out of a father's instinct…"Candice immediately switched sides. Whatever respect or distance she used to maintain disappeared from her face, replaced entirely by fury."My sister's death wasn't our fault! Why would you hurt my child? How can you be so cruel?"A vicious ma

With a loud clatter, Candice dropped her phone onto the floor.The color drained from her face as she stood there frozen, muttering to herself in disbelief."How is that possible…? How could my account suddenly be deregistered…?"Only after several seconds did she snap back to reality. She hurriedly picked up the phone and shouted frantically into it:"Did you make a mistake? No one knows I faked my death and took my sister's identity except you. How could someone have my records erased?!"The person on the other end hesitated before answering carefully."Could someone have overheard us before? Maybe… Jon?"Candice froze.Had Jon really discovered the truth already?Then why was he suddenly marrying someone else?Was it because he knew everything… or because he had completely given up on her?Questions flooded her mind one after another, pushing her anxiety to the brink.Meanwhile, Mrs. Jenkins stood nearby, completely confused by the conversation."What are you talking ab

Chapter 6

"No... no..."I never thought things would turn out like this. I planned to tell everyone the truth once your arm recovered, then everything could go back to the way it was."But now Jon is going to marry someone else, and I can't even use my original identity anymore..."Seeing how deeply she cared about Jon while completely ignoring his feelings, Austin clenched his teeth in hatred.For all these years, he had secretly dreamed of being with Candice.Candice was mature, dependable, a respected captain pilot. She had always spoiled him endlessly.When he learned that she was willing to stay behind in place of his wife and entrust the child to him, he had been shocked.At the same time, he felt triumphant. For once, he had finally beaten Jon, his wealthy brother-in-law.But now Candice was telling him that everything had only been a temporary dream."Candice, this isn't fair!"Since you already took my wife's place, you can't just walk away now! What am I supposed to do? What

Chapter 7

Ever since the day they got married, Jon had dreamed of having a child of their own with her.And now, their child was calling Austin 'Dad.'How devastated must he have been back then?Maybe that was why, in a fit of heartbreak and anger, he chose to have the kidney removed completely.If she had known Jon was injured in the accident, she never would have staged something like this in the first place.Suddenly, Candice remembered the day she gave birth. Jon had come to the hospital too, but he had seemed unusually quiet and withdrawn.Maybe that was the very day he made the decision to remove his kidney.And yet she noticed nothing. She had even happily talked in front of him about the joy and happiness of becoming a mother...By the time the thought fully hit her, tears were already streaming uncontrollably down Candice's face."Mom, I really didn't know he was hurt..."Please, just let me speak to him, okay? I know he still loves me. He only decided to marry someone else in

Chapter 8

I only gave her a faint smile."I assume you already heard about Candice faking her death. Compared to that, what happened to you is nothing."The woman merely shook her head with a quiet laugh and said nothing more.At the end of the day, marriages like ours existed for the benefit of the family. Before we even had time to build any real feelings for each other, the wedding had already been arranged.The makeup artist was still touching up my face when my mother walked in."Jon, Candice called earlier. She said she regrets everything and wants to talk to you. But your mother doesn't want you turning back."I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My complexion had finally recovered some color.My tone was calm, but firm."I never go back to an ex. Even if she threatened me with death again, I wouldn't soften."Only then did my mother finally relax. She nodded in relief.The wedding ceremony began soon after.However, just as the wedding march started playing, someone sudden

"I already told you, you're not Candice. What happened to me has nothing to do with you."You don't owe me an apology."I had barely taken a step when she desperately grabbed onto my ankle and looked up at me."I know you still care about me. Deep down, you've always wanted me to tell you the truth myself and go back to how things used to be, haven't you?"I looked down at her, almost speechless from disbelief, then let out a dry laugh."You've completely lost your mind."After saying that, I signaled to the bodyguards with my eyes. Only then did I finally manage to get away.Ignoring Candice's hysterical screaming behind me, I followed Wendy into the car.On the drive home, I leaned wearily against the window.Yet when I thought back to the moment I saw Candice earlier, I realized my heart had felt absolutely nothing.No anger. No heartbreak.The only thing I felt was disgust at the sight of her begging so desperately. It all seemed unbearably fake.By the time we returned

Chapter 10

"Jon, why do you have to make this so hard for me? I'm already miserable enough. Just come back with me…"I let out a mocking laugh."Miserable? Weren't you willing to fake your own death for Austin? Now that I'm gone, you two can finally be together like you wanted. So why are you still looking for me?"Candice's eyes were bloodshot as she shook her head desperately."No… I'm not going to be with him.""He's just my brother-in-law. I never once thought about being with him. Please don't misunderstand the two of us…"I laughed dryly."That has nothing to do with me."The moment I finished speaking, Austin burst in with the child, crying hysterically."Jon, you b*stard! Why are you stealing my woman from me? How am I supposed to live now?!"He was about to keep screaming when Candice suddenly slapped him across the face.The crack echoed through the room.She was trembling with rage."What right do you have to insult him?!"Austin clutched his cheek in shock, his mouth han
