Chapter 1

The young woman heard the noise and turned to look at me. "Are you all right, miss?""I can ask the waiter to bring you a new set of silverware."I forced a smile. "Thank you."I picked up my knife and fork again, but I couldn't swallow another bite of the Wagyu beef.Six months ago, Kevin had brought me to this exclusive restaurant."Babe, this place is super exclusive. Their dry-aged steak is five hundred dollars a plate. The quality is incredible."I frowned."A five-hundred-dollar meal? That's enough to pay for a full day of private care for Lily at the nursing home. We should leave."But Kevin firmly wrapped his arm around my waist, pressing me back into my seat."I have two meals credited to my account. My wife works so hard taking care of our home every day. You deserve a reward like this.""Next time I go on a business trip, you can come back and use the other one on your own."But when it was time to order, the instruction "no arugula in the salad" had subconsciously slipped o

"Miss Chloe, Mr. Walker has been notified of your arrival and has requested we escort you to his private room."The restaurant manager hurried over, stopping respectfully beside the young woman.The manager didn't even spare me a glance.It made sense. The way I was dressed, I hardly looked like a guest who belonged in a VIP room.But the young woman grabbed my wrist warmly. "Come with me, won't you? It's no fun eating alone. I'm enjoying our chat."I was about to refuse, but the words died on my lips. I swallowed them."I'd be honored."Following her into a hidden second-floor area, I discovered a whole other world within the restaurant.In the private booth, the crystal chandelier was adorned with real gold tassels, and the sofas were custom-made from imported black calfskin.The cashmere carpet under my feet was so soft that it made the furnishings in my family's estate pale in comparison."It has a great atmosphere, doesn't it? My name is Chloe. We should be friends."Chloe pulled

After hanging up, Chloe leaned back on the sofa and continued to gush about her husband."Jessica, I really have to brag about my husband. He's the best man I've ever met."She scrolled through her social media feed and showed it to me."He always says I'm young and need to see the world, so he takes me on a trip every month.""Last month we went skiing in the Alps, and next month he's booked a helicopter to take us to see the Northern Lights."The screen was filled with photos of them doing extreme sports all over the world.I swiped through them one by one.In one photo, Kevin, dressed in a ski suit, held her close from behind.The next showed them bungee jumping off a cliff. Kevin held her protectively in his arms, his gaze so intense it seemed to burn.In another, they were at a private shooting range. He stood behind her, his hands covering hers, teaching her how to hold a gun.In every photo, he smiled with a wild, uninhibited joy. It was a look I hadn't seen on his face in years

Stepping out of the elevator, I discovered something even more absurd.She entered the passcode to open the door: her birthday. The passcode to our apartment had always been his.I once asked him why he didn't set it to mine. He had said, "I can never remember that string of numbers."Now, I finally understood the difference between not being able to remember and not wanting to."Jessica, come on in!" Chloe pushed the door open and turned to pull me inside. "My place is minimalist. I picked everything out myself. Isn't it nice?"As I stepped inside, my gaze fell on the display cabinet directly across from the entryway.An autographed snowboard, a trophy from a sailing regatta… the cabinet was filled with trophies from their extreme sports adventures.There was also a huge world map with red lines marking all the places they had traveled together.Kevin and I had almost never traveled together."The company is at a critical stage right now. I can't get away," he had said at the time.Ev

The moment our eyes met, the smile on Kevin's lips vanished as if a switch had been flipped.He froze, as if pierced by an invisible bullet.His pupils contracted, and the color drained from his face, leaving it ashen."Jessica… What are you doing here?"He instinctively dropped the hand that was around Chloe's waist, his knuckles trembling.I slowly walked out from behind the sofa. "What's the matter? Thrilled to see your two perfect little scripts collide?"I walked toward him, step by step.My heels clicked sharply on the marble floor.I tilted my head, looking him straight in the eye, my voice devoid of warmth. "Kevin Walker, you tell me.""Which one of us is your wife? This apartment, or our home? Which one is your real sanctuary?"As my words fell, Chloe, who had been clinging to him and cooing just moments before, finally sensed something was wrong.She looked at the bloodless, sweat-drenched Kevin, then at my cold, steely gaze.The sweetness on her pretty face vanished. Her bro

A single motion-activated light lit the hallway, casting flickering shadows on the walls.The light played across Kevin's pale, shifting face.He settled Chloe in the bedroom, closed the door, and then leaned against the cold wall.After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse."Jessica, I know I'm a bastard for what I did. I'm sorry."I crossed my arms and watched him coldly. I didn't respond, waiting for what he would say next."I admit… I fell for Chloe these past two years. I really did.""She's young, she's innocent. When I'm with her, I don't have to think about anything."He looked up, his eyes filled with a complex emotion I couldn't decipher, but one I found deeply unsettling."But Jess, I can't let you go either.""You were with me when I had nothing, and you've been with me through everything.""No matter how tempting things are on the outside, I can't abandon the safe harbor we've built, the family we have with our daughter.""I know I'm greedy. But I really did

Chapter 7

My words hit Kevin like a bullet between the eyes.He whipped his head around to look at me, his eyes filled with disbelief.He couldn't accept that the sweet, adoring Chloe, the girl who melted in his arms like cotton candy, could have been plotting against him."Jessica, are you insane? Are you just making this up?""Chloe is innocent. She would never."I pulled my hand from his grasp.I scoffed. "Why would I lie to you?""She deliberately sat at the table next to mine in the restaurant and started a conversation.""Then she brought me to this apartment, told me every detail of your 'loving' relationship, and showed me every single thing you've ever given her.""All of it was a carefully laid trap.""She wanted me to see it for myself, to hear it for myself.""She wanted me to become so disheartened that I would walk away, clearing the path for her to become the real Mrs. Walker."Just as I finished, a faint, almost inaudible footstep sounded from behind us.Chloe was awake. Leaning

Chapter 8

Chloe stared blankly at Kevin as he convulsed in a pool of blood. The knife in her hand clattered to the floor.She slumped to the floor, her face white, her body shaking uncontrollably.I remained completely calm, my expression unreadable. I reached into an inner pocket of my handbag, pulled out a tiny gold pin, and pressed the hidden button at its center.When I left my family all those years ago, my father had forced this pin into my hand, saying, "The moment you press this, the Moretti family will be at your disposal. But it will also mean you made the wrong choice."For seven years, I would rather sell my jewelry and suffer than press it, all because I wanted to prove to my father that I hadn't chosen the wrong man, that I could live well without the family's protection.Now, it was the biggest joke of all.In less than five minutes, the elevator doors on the floor opened simultaneously. Family bodyguards swarmed the room.The man in the lead, Marco, glanced at me and gave a sligh

Chapter 9

I handed all divorce matters over to my family's lead counsel.He was a man who had been by my father's side for thirty years.One phone call, and the family's entire legal team flew in overnight from home.The evidence of Kevin's affair, the bank records of him secretly transferring my dowry assets into Chloe's name over the past two years.The apartment he bought with my money, the yacht club memberships, the private jet time-shares.Every single item was meticulously documented and frozen by the legal team.In the mediation room, Kevin, not yet fully healed, was wheeled in.The stack of evidence in front of him was as thick as a brick.He opened the first page, and his hand began to shake. By the third page, he closed his eyes and said nothing more.As expected, the final judgment awarded all assets acquired during the marriage to me, to be held in trust for our daughter.He was stripped of everything and left with nothing.The shares, properties, and all funds he had acquired throu
