Chapter 1

I saw David Anderson hugging her tightly. They looked so in love. My heart throbbed in pain. This was a repeat of the past. However, I no longer yelled uncontrollably and smashed everything around me. Instead, I sat on the couch and stared quietly at Lily Reid. Her determined eyes did not even waver once. The last time she looked so determined was when she swore she would cut David off. Instead, she chose to protect David to prevent me from hurting him. “So, you never cut him off, right?” I only realized that when I received the dashcam footage from the police. Lily did not reach home on time because she had learnt from her mistakes. Instead, it was because she had grown better at managing her limited free time to cheat on me with David. When I heard their pants, I could not help but recall how she usually looked when she came home. Her eyes were always very bright, and she would bring me my favorite wine. “Ben, I missed you so much.” Hence, I lowered my p

Lily was discharged before David. When she rushed home, she was still in her hospital gown. I was packing my stuff when she suddenly hugged me. I froze. The strong scent of perfume from her made me nauseous. “Ben, are you going to leave again?”Lily looked at the luggage on the floor and tightened her grip. It reminded me of the past again. Previously, in order to take care of David, she had brought him back home without discussing it with me. When I reached home after work, I realized our door password had been changed. I stood outside and knocked on the door for a long time. David had stood there laughing with his arms crossed. “What are you doing here? You must’ve gone to the wrong house!“Lily said this is my house now. So I’m telling you to leave!” Lily stood next to him without a word of objection. She knew very well that it was raining heavily outside. Because of David, she left me stuck outside in the rain. My shirt had been soaked and stuck to my bo

She threw everything out from the luggage and looked at me. Her eyes were filled with fury.“Ben, I know you’re jealous and angry.“But I’ve told you many times that you’re the only one I love.“I’m just putting up an act with him. I never really had feelings for him.”Lily tried to stay calm and softened her tone. If it had been in the past, I would have believed her. I would hold on to her promise and an uncertain future. Instead, I only felt weary. My mother was very ill, and she only wanted to see me find my happiness with my own family before she passed. Even though she was lying in her hospital ward with machines sustaining her life, she was still patiently waiting for me until her eyes lost focus and she lost her ability to speak. She still could not see me getting married. Her breaths grew more shallow with the days passed. I could only try to put her mind at ease before she left. I voluntarily went on a blind date and got engaged with a woman whom I had o

“I’m sorry. I… I didn’t do it on purpose…”Lily’s voice was trembling, and she sounded fearful. She could not look at that wound. Every time she looked at it, she grimaced. I couldn't stand the pain, and she knew that. Even if it was a small cut, my head would spin. Instead, I quietly took out the first-aid kit. Then, I treated my wound with much difficulty. David seemed smug. He thought he had won again. I did not know how we went from close friends who could talk about anything to enemies who hurt each other. In the past, he was the one who wished for my happiness the most. He would feel angry on my behalf whenever I fought with Lily. Whenever I was anxious and uncertain, he would stay up the whole night to talk to me. However, he ended up snatching my happiness from me and telling me that I did not deserve it. A lot of times, I really wanted to ask him why. However, the words stopped on the tip of my tongue, and I gave up. David dragged her away as the

When Lily saw my text message, it was already four in the afternoon. She buried her face in David’s embrace and said indifferently, “Ben’s throwing a tantrum again. “I’m going to head back for a while, and I’ll come back here again at night.”She did not care about what I said. Instead, she seemed to recall something as she laughed. “Why does he crave love so much?“He’s always thinking of ways to force me to marry him.”David rubbed his eyes and hugged Lily. “You know he’s doing this on purpose, so why are you going back?“I’m going for a haircut today. I want you to come with me.”He seemed indifferent, but he was holding Lily tightly to prevent her from leaving. Lily had no choice, so she smiled at him dotingly. Finally, she called me. She wanted to humor me for a while and only go home the next day. However, she heard a mechanical voice. [I’m sorry, but the number you’re calling is no longer in service.]Lily’s smile froze on her face. She thought she had

Chapter 6

The nurse was done talking to her, so she simply said, “It’s been a week!”After that, the nurse left angrily. Lily stood frozen on the spot. A week ago, she had bumped into me packing my luggage. That time, there was an odd emotion in my eyes. I had said in defeat, “Lily, since you can’t let him go, I’ll let you go.”She had been very angry. She had been angry that I was pushing her away. She had been angry that I was holding on to my ego, and that I seemed very determined. She finally realized that I was already telling her that I was leaving. She had no choice but to click on that electronic invitation.The wedding time and address popped up. What hurt her the most was the wedding photo. I was smiling softly as I held the hand of the woman next to me. She had never seen that woman before, and she did not know her. Aside from feeling uneasy, she was a little jealous. She was jealous that the first time I put on a tuxedo was for another woman. She was je

Lily laughed in disbelief. “Ben, what do you mean about blessings?“Do you know how much I’ve sacrificed throughout these eight years?“I gave you my love, my money, my effort! What did I not give you? Do you even have a heart?”Her eyes were burning in fury, and she was defending herself with every single word. However, she had forgotten that she was the one who pushed me away. She had ignored my breakdowns and my sadness, and she chose to be with David. “Lily, I also spent eight years. It’s not just you. “If I’m heartless, I won’t wait for you for eight years, I won’t wait for a marriage that will never materialize!“If you have a heart, you wouldn’t have cheated on me with my childhood friend. You won’t have conspired with him to hurt me!” I roared from all the pain and hurt I had endured. I started to tremble too. Lily was stunned, as if she had just woken up from her fantasy. “It’s not like that, Ben. “You know David’s sick. I can’t…”I could not help but

Chapter 8

“Let’s go through with our divorce proceeding tomorrow morning. “After a period of separation, you’ll be a free man again.”Maddy patted my crumpled sleeve and met my eyes. “I know you’re only fulfilling your mother’s last wish. I understand.” Even though she knew that this marriage would not even last five days, she still agreed to it. She did not even ask for any financial compensation. When my mother held her hand, she said earnestly, “Don’t worry, I’ll treat Ben well.“I’ll spend my whole life protecting him and loving him.”I suddenly saw Lily in a daze. She had also been that serious in the past. It was as if she would do everything that she had said. “Thank you.”I forced a smile and thanked her sincerely. I was truly touched at that moment. However, I knew that it was not time for me to rush into another relationship. I had not fully gotten over my past. I had to respect Maddy and myself. On our wedding night, Maddy and I went our separate ways.

Chapter 9

Lily stared at us in disbelief. She opened her mouth in much difficulty but threw up blood. She mumbled, “Ben… How could you… treat me like this?”After Maddy let go, Lily fell limply to the ground. Her lips were quivering. “Lily, you’re just getting a taste of your own medicine,” I said as I wiped Maddy’s hand. “Don’t come and bother me anymore. I’m annoyed by you.”After I said that, I held Maddy’s hand and walked away. I had just gotten into my car when Lily stumbled over. However, she only managed to run a little before she fell onto the ground again. A few rocks cut her cheek open, and it looked scary. Tears welled up in her eyes as she sobbed. “Please… please don’t leave me.”She looked extremely pathetic compared to her usual arrogant self. In the past, she had hurt me without a care. She was reaping what she sowed. I did not say a word. I did not even spare her a glance. I just instructed Maddy to drive. Lily crawled painfully, and her palms were
