Chapter 1

Shane's POVMy heart raced, and a wave of dizziness nearly knocked me off balance."You're joking, right?" I asked in a shaking voice.After eight years of marriage and seven years of knowing each other before that, I refused to believe Dawn Arnold would ever betray me."Even if it isn't a joke, why did you choose to tell me today, out of all days?" I pressed.As if amused by my naivety, Dawn curled her lips into a faint smile before turning slightly to look at Felix Tanner, who was busy hosting the funeral guests nearby. Her gaze instantly softened.When she spoke, her voice was soft, but every word she said seemed to stab into my heart like a knife."Honestly, I've always felt a little guilty watching you get played for a fool by Felix and me."Remember the last time you asked why the condoms in the drawer went missing? I told you I threw them out, when in truth, I used them with Felix."She paused before reaching down to brush against my empty pant leg."I really love you,

Chapter 2

Shane's POVEven long after the funeral ended, I still couldn't pull myself out of what had just happened.The mourning guests couldn't understand what was going on. They simply told me not to grieve too deeply and urged me to accept reality.But how was I supposed to accept this reality?Ten years ago, a brutal home invasion shocked the city. A family of three was targeted, with both parents savagely murdered, and only the child survived.Dad was the lawyer who took on the case for the victims back then, fighting for the child, Felix.By then, he was already one of the most respected lawyers in the legal world. When Felix finally tracked him down through a mutual contact, he dropped to his knees on the spot and repeatedly banged his head against the floor, begging Dad to send the killer to prison.The killer's defense team produced medical records claiming he suffered from mental illness, which made a prison sentence nearly impossible. But Dad won the case anyway, and the kille

Chapter 3

Shane's POVThe lights in the living room were off. Only a warm sliver of light spilled out from behind the master bedroom door.The heavy breathing and low moans echoing through the empty apartment were sickeningly clear.My stomach churned violently, and I dug my fingernails deep into my palms.After pushing my wheelchair into the guest bedroom that had originally belonged to Felix, I began throwing out all his belongings.The sounds in the master bedroom stopped for a few seconds, followed by a long, dead silence.I sat there with my head bowed, surrounded by the wreckage in the room.When Dawn stepped out, she threw a coat loosely over her shoulders to cover the red marks on her body and leaned against the doorframe, looking at me quietly.Felix looked somewhat guilt-ridden. It took him a long time to finally say, "Shane…""Get out," I rasped in a completely hoarse voice.Dawn patted his hand reassuringly before grabbing a tube of ointment from the first-aid kit. Then, sh

Chapter 4

Shane's POVLeveraging the attention surrounding Dad's case, I exposed everything Dawn and Felix had done and put their sordid affair online.I let it ferment and spread across the Internet for nearly a week. For seven days, I blocked Dawn on every social media platform.When I started packing my bags, I realized there was nothing for me to take at all. Dawn was right—I had nothing left.My flight was booked for tomorrow.Pushing my wheelchair, I made a final trip to the memorial park to visit Dad.Dad was kind to everyone while he was around. When Dawn was still a broke student, he sponsored her college tuition and taught her everything he knew, and she climbed her way up the ranks just by riding on his reputation.So, why did the kind people never seem to get a good ending?When I snapped out of my thoughts and was about to leave the memorial park, a huge, aggressive mob barged in.I recognized the man leading the charge. He was the losing party in a divorce case Dad had han

Chapter 5

Third-Person POVDawn lunged forward, but she couldn't even catch a corner of Shane's shirt.Breathing hard, she instinctively moved to jump after him, but Felix grabbed her tight around the waist."Dawn! Have you lost your mind?'She held his hands, and her incoherent words stumbled over one another. "Shane jumped."Her mind was a blur.Truth be told, she had regretted it the moment she turned around to leave. She knew she shouldn't have treated Shane so cruelly, but there had always been a stubborn part of her that refused to back down.At first, she thought she would just let him be. If he wanted a divorce, she would just give it to him.But after walking away with Felix, she realized that she simply couldn't let Shane go, so she turned back to find the latter. She never thought she would see him throw himself into the ocean.The surface of the sea was calm. There was nothing they could see, aside from a few fading ripples on the water."I've called the police. The search

Chapter 6

Third-Person POV"If Shane turns out to be fine, are you two still going to get a divorce?" Felix tentatively asked.Dawn went silent. She had just signed the divorce papers a few days ago, but now, she couldn't answer.Just as Felix assumed she would stay quiet, she suddenly looked up at him and said, "Let's call it quits, Felix."I thought I didn't have any feelings left for Shane, but now, I realize I can't leave him," she said in a clear, loud voice.She thought she had stopped loving Shane, but the moment she watched him plunge over the railing, her heart felt as if it were pierced by a thousand needles, leaving her in agonizing pain.Deep down, she knew that her betrayal had caused Frank's death and left Shane permanently disabled. That was the reason she felt irritated whenever she had to face him.She hadn't stopped loving him; she was just terrified that if he discovered the truth one day, he might stop loving her in return. Even her confession to him required a long ti

Chapter 7

Third-Person POVDawn spent the next few days in a depressive stupor.Her closest friends suggested that she begin planning a funeral for Shane and argued that even if his body was never recovered, they could hold it using some of his personal belongings and clothes.But Dawn rejected every suggestion. She was stubbornly convinced that Shane wasn't dead.Soon, everyone around her began to think she had lost her mind.Day after day, Dawn locked herself in the apartment and forced herself to look at old photographs of her and Shane on a loop.Shane had never liked being in front of a camera, but he loved taking photographs of Dawn and had her captured from every angle possible. Yet when it came to actual photos of the two of them together, all she had was their wedding portrait, taken during their wedding.She knew Shane had planned to walk away from her. She found a flight ticket in his suitcase and knew that if he hadn't jumped into the ocean, he would already be abroad by now.

Chapter 8

Shane's POVThe next time I met Dawn was three months later. She was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes in the hospital."Shane, you're finally awake," she said, her eyes welling with tears. "I've been searching everywhere for you for three months… I just found out you were here."From what she said, I learned that after jumping into the ocean that day, I was saved.I knew Dawn had been searching for me, but I wanted nothing to do with her. The old Shane truly died that day.When she saw me remain silent, she grew emotional."I've ordered a new headstone for Frank," she announced in a loud, clear voice. "We're not getting a divorce."The police found out that Felix was the one who leaked the address. He's already behind bars."It turned out so much had happened while I was unconscious, yet hearing her say we weren't getting a divorce only made me feel more repulsed than ever."Dad could have lived, Dawn. The divorce papers are signed, and now, I agree to the divorce.
