Chapter 1

Joanna Lawson's POVThe metal chains that had kept me bound for the last five years were finally undone, but my feet felt like they were weighed down by lead blocks.I was still clutching the last letter that my husband, Cole Foster, had sent me. He had told me that he could finally pick me up from the mental hospital.At that moment, the letter felt like it was burning against my skin.Cole helplessly shook his head and said, "The letter was just part of the reality show. Natalie was the one who came up with the idea. She wanted to test whether you could survive on love alone. Looks like it was quite effective."I had been electrocuted countless times, to the point that I didn't have a single patch of skin that was unscathed. I had swallowed thousands of antidepressant pills in the dark and sunless ward that I had been trapped in.The child I had been carrying had been deformed due to a medical experiment and was stillborn.The only thing that had kept me going was Cole's lette

Chapter 2

Joanna's POV"Let's get a divorce, Cole," I said.Tears blurred my vision, and I could only hear my own hoarse voice.Cole, who had been busy barking orders at the reporters, looked at me and frowned. He was just about to speak when his phone started ringing. He smiled when he saw the flashing name on the screen and answered the call."Of course, the celebratory dinner is ready. I'll head back right now and transfer the money to her. You truly have such a kind heart."He pulled out a check from his pocket after he ended the call."Take this. It's the appearance fee that Natalie prepared for you."I laughed when I got a good look at the number on the check.Natalie wanted to compensate me for my five years in hell with a measly ten thousand dollars.I tore the check to shreds and threw the pieces at Cole, shouting, "I said that I want a divorce!"Cole's expression darkened."Natalie's reality show will fall apart if we get a divorce now. Everyone will criticize her, so stop c

Joanna's POVI was stunned. "What did you say?" I asked.Cole's furious voice echoed through the receiver as he roared, "Look at the billboard in the heart of the city! You're the one who leaked those photos and scandals, right? Will you only be satisfied after you've ruined Natalie's life?"I whipped my head up. Explicit photos of Natalie were being continuously displayed on the billboard, along with intimate images of her and Cole.The fury in Cole's voice intensified as he shouted, "Apologize to Natalie right now! You won't be able to afford the penalty fees for breaching the contract of the reality show or your mother's medical fees if you don't!"Natalie posted a list of penalty fees for breaching the contract of the reality show and compensation fees for damages to her reputation online immediately after I ended the call. She accused me of maliciously leaking her intimate photos and slandering her for tearing my family apart.Natalie's actions ended up starting a chain reac

Chapter 4

Joanna's POVMy head snapped up in shock as Cole flippantly continued, "There's no class difference when it comes to work. Hurry up and take off your clothes."My eyes reddened as I glared at him and demanded, "You want me to strip in front of the cameras?"In the past, Cole had forbidden me from even wearing skirts. But at that moment, he felt like a complete stranger.Cole didn't answer my question. Instead, he impatiently ordered the staff members to prepare the recording equipment.I thrashed around wildly until I exhausted all my strength. "I didn't do it! Let me go!"However, Cole refused to listen to me and ordered his bodyguards to drag me to the film set.Natalie trailed after us since she was the director. Her face twisted into a wicked expression when the door clicked shut behind her."How does it feel to have both your husband and son betray you? You'd better commit this to your memory. It wasn't easy for me to get my hands on Cole and Andy. I won't let you take the

Chapter 5

Third-Person POV"What did you say?" Cole exclaimed, his voice pitching an entire octave.The joyous atmosphere immediately disappeared.The assistant handed his phone to Cole and said, "Look."Joanna was wearing a bitter smile as she sat in front of the camera. Her skin was covered in mottled bruises. She pulled out a bottle of sleeping pills from her bag and held it in front of the camera.The comments egged her on."End your life if you have the guts. A lunatic like you will only harm yourself and others if you stay alive.""She's just acting pitiful to garner sympathy from us. Only a fool would fall for her tricks.""Stop dragging things out. If you want to take your own life, just do it already!"No one expected Joanna to empty the bottle of pills onto her palm. She began swallowing them, one at a time.The commenters went into a frenzy when Joanna collapsed on the floor, looking deathly pale."She was being serious? What's going on?""Hurry! Call the police!"Cole's

Chapter 6

Third-Person POV"Joanna Lawson's mother passed away a few hours ago, but she hasn't dropped by to take care of the corpse yet, even though we've sent a notice to her," a nurse explained to Cole.Cole shrank back in fear when he saw the stamp on the death notice."She passed away? That's impossible. I already paid the medical fees. How could she have died from lack of treatment?""T-The bank card was frozen. It was out of our hands," the nurse stammered.Cole frowned deeply as he clutched the death notice. Although he had threatened Joanna by stopping payment for her mother's medical bills, he had not intended to actually go through with it.In fact, the bank account that the card was tied to always had money in it. There was no way that he would have frozen the card either.Countless questions popped up in Cole's mind. He called the bank manager to demand answers.The bank manager was utterly confused when Cole interrogated him. "Ms. Natalie Jackman was the one who ordered us

Chapter 7

Joanna's POVThe comments had flashed before my eyes as I swallowed the sleeping pills."Oh my god! She was being serious?""Does anyone know where she is? Hurry! Call the police!""We were just joking. We didn't actually want her to die!"Some of the commenters were apologizing, while others were trying to absolve themselves of any guilt. However, it was clear that all of them were the perpetrators.My vision slowly darkened as the pills traveled to my stomach. At that moment, the cruel comments from the netizens were gone. I didn't have to worry about being sent back to the mental hospital to endure more suffering.I also no longer had to face the harsh truth that my husband and son had betrayed me.However, in the end, I still opened my eyes, coming face-to-face with a familiar-looking man."H-Hayden Snow?"Hayden's face gradually came into focus. He was caressing my face with a heartbroken expression, murmuring, "You're finally awake…"Hayden was my first love, but we ha

Chapter 8

Joanna's POVI didn't expect that Cole and Andy would eventually track me down."Joanna…" Cole murmured, his eyes reddening when he saw me.Andy immediately let go of Cole's hand and sprinted toward me, shouting, "Mommy!"At the end of the day, he was still a child. He hugged my leg and ecstatically called out to me over and over again.Meanwhile, Cole stood opposite me, shedding tears of joy.However, my icy tone shattered the happy reunion."What are you doing here?"Andy let go of me in shock, staring at me with a stunned expression.Cole's smile melted away, but he quickly composed himself and said, "We were really worried about you, Joanna. We were searching for you this whole time. Now that we've found you, we're going to take you home with us.""He's right, Mommy," Andy chimed in while looking up at me. "Daddy and I missed you a lot. You should come home with us. We've chased that evil witch away. She'll never bully you ever again."Home?My biggest dream when I was
