Chapter 1

The police in Jevokia worked fast.Just as I had stepped out of the graduation venue, an officer stopped me. I had to show them my marriage certificate and explain the situation before they finally let me go. The moment they left, I received a text message from my wife, Rachel Carter."There's a reason I acted that way earlier, Sam. Please don't overthink it. Just head back home and wait for me there, okay? I'll explain everything when I get back."I stared at the text message on my phone. For the first time, I abruptly realized that I didn't want to wait.Shortly after Rachel and I got together, she told me she wanted to continue her education. To give her and her family a better life, I decided to work overseas with a few of my college friends.During my time abroad, I lived frugally and sent nearly all of my earnings back home to Rachel in hopes of making her life easier.Last year, I caught up with the AI boom at just the right time.I developed several hit products, and m

I jerked my head up and stared at Liam. My ears were ringing, and my mind had gone completely blank.While I'd been working myself to the bone to give Rachel a better life, she had given birth to another man's child."What's wrong, Sam?"I fell silent. When Liam saw the look on my face, his expression changed."We didn't get a divorce," I said shakily as I tightened my grip around my glass. Upon hearing this, Liam froze. As he tried to process his shock, he found himself at a loss for words.After a long pause, he suddenly remembered something. He fumbled for his phone and frantically tapped through the screen before handing the device to me."Look. This is her social media feed. Are you not able to see it?" I took the phone from him and began scrolling through Rachel's posts. The more I saw, the heavier my heart became. Five years ago, Rachel began filling her social media page with photos of herself and another man. In the photos, the pair embraced each other beneath fa

"You didn't answer any of my calls or my texts. And now, you won't even call to ask me for the new passcode?" Rachel asked.She continued, "Tell me the truth, Sam. Have you fallen out of love with me? Is there someone else?"I stared at the wounded expression on Rachel's face and realized I'd never noticed how shameless she could be.In the past, I would've argued with her. Then, I'd pull out screenshots of her social media posts and demand an explanation. But now, I didn't think any of that was necessary anymore.I followed Rachel inside. The moment I took off my coat, she grabbed my sleeve and leaned in close to me. She was still wearing the same perfume.I used to love that scent. Now, it only made me feel sick.I shoved Rachel away and rushed into the bathroom to throw up.She leaned against the doorframe and flashed me a look of disdain. "I haven't even gotten the chance to ask you about this. What's gotten into you today? Why did you drink so much?"I told you, Sam

Chapter 4

I checked the magnets one by one."In honor of my third wedding anniversary with Jasper.""In honor of Jasper's birthday.""In honor of my fifth wedding anniversary with Jasper.""In honor of my first kiss with Jasper."I stared at the magnets that were scattered all over the refrigerator door. All of a sudden, I let out a bitter laugh.Rachel and I had been together for seven years, but she could never remember my birthday. On several occasions, I waited until the very end of the day to post a subtle reminder on social media. Then, she'd send me a small gift card as a token gesture.Somehow, that tiny gesture was enough to convince me I was the luckiest man in the world.Our anniversaries were even worse. Every year, I'd prepare a gift weeks in advance before mailing it overseas to her. Looking back now, I finally realized our relationship had always been one-sided. I was always the one making an effort, while she never even bothered to even meet me halfway. But why wo

Chapter 5

As I stared at the man in the picture, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had seen him somewhere before. Pushing my thoughts aside, I directed my attention toward packing up my belongings.I packed everything that belonged to me into a single box. Once I was done, I contacted a real estate agent and put the house up for sale. Afterward, I headed to the bedroom to get some rest. When I stepped into the master bedroom, I was shocked to find that it was a complete mess. Men's and women's clothes were strewn across the floor. I didn't even know where to step.The guest room was no better. It wasn't hard to imagine what the pair had been up to while I had been away.Letting out a wry laugh, I photographed everything that could serve as evidence of Rachel's affair and sent the pictures to Miles. I intended to use those pictures to ensure that she walked away with nothing after the divorce.After everything was settled, I grabbed my belongings and walked out of the house. The second

Chapter 6

I became lost in my own thoughts. In the end, I didn't even realize that we'd arrived until the taxi driver called out to me.I wiped the corners of my eyes before climbing out of the car. Just as I was about to shut the door, the driver called after me and said, "There's nothing you can't overcome, young man. Sometimes, you just have to allow things to unfold on their own."His kind words caught me off guard, and a warmth spread through my chest. Once I snapped out of my daze, I thanked him with a smile.He was right—everything happened for a reason. Maybe this was simply the universe's way of testing me.I walked into the hospital and headed toward Liam's office. The moment I reached the elevators, I spotted a familiar figure.What a small world. Of all the hospitals in Astor City, I still managed to run into Rachel at this one.I didn't want to interact with her, so I decided to walk toward another elevator. But before I could do so, she abruptly turned around and made eye

Chapter 7

All the emotions I had buried came rushing out in that moment. I yanked my hand out of Rachel's grip and looked at her coldly. "Rachel, do you honestly think I'm an idiot?"Do you really think I know nothing? We're literally standing in a hospital. Want me to drag you and that child actress in for a DNA test right now?"With every word I spoke, the color drained from Rachel's face.Watching her stand there, pale and trembling, I opened my mouth to say more. But before I could, she reached out and slapped me across the face with everything she had.With bloodshot eyes, her voice shook as she cried out, "Sam! I told you, there's nothing going on between Jasper and me! You just got back to Jekovia. Why do you have to be so aggressive? Didn't I tell you I'd explain everything once I got home?"I stared at Rachel, who was looking at me with red-rimmed eyes, and froze for a moment.By the time I snapped out of it, Liam had already pulled me away. He dragged me into his office and start

Chapter 8

Rachel's voice came through. "Honey, you finally picked up. Why are there strangers living in our house? They're saying the place belongs to them now. What's going on?""I sold the house, Rachel. And I'm going to say this one last time—we're getting a divorce," I replied impatiently while rubbing my temples. Upon hearing this, Rachel snapped. She shrieked through the phone, "I am not divorcing you, Sam Jensen! I tore the divorce papers to shreds and threw them away. I won't divorce you! "Honey, where are you? I'll come to you, okay? Let's just sit down and talk."I forced down the anger rising in my chest and kept my tone flat. "Fine."After hanging up, I called Miles and asked him to draft another copy of the divorce agreement for me to pick up.Armed with the new paperwork, I headed out alone to the cafe where I'd agreed to meet Rachel.The moment she spotted me, she waved frantically.I walked over with a blank face, sat down across from her, then slid the divorce papers o

Chapter 9

I looked at Jasper's smug expression and let out a helpless laugh. "Hey, I'm trying to get a divorce. But Rachel is throwing a total fit, crying about how much she loves me and how she can't live without me. She flat-out refuses to divorce me. What do you want me to do about it?"With that, I turned and strolled away, leaving Jasper standing there, his face turning an angry shade of purple.I knew he would make a move soon.Sure enough, Rachel called me the very next day.Her voice was incredibly hesitant over the line. "Um, honey… Jasper's dad is hospitalized again. The doctor says it's really critical this time. Jasper told me his dad wants to see our marriage certificate. He says it'll cheer the old man up and help him recover faster."Honey, I'll sign the divorce papers for now. Once Jasper and I finish putting on this act for his dad, we can just get remarried, okay? My hands are tied here. Jasper saved my life, and I have to repay the debt. Honey, just send me your address,

Chapter 10

I continued casually, "My assets belong to me. Of course I'm taking them back."With that, I turned and walked away, completely ignoring the looks on Rachel's and Jasper's faces.On my way back to Liam's place, Rachel kept calling me. When she realized I wasn't answering, she started flooding my phone with texts."Honey, you're just joking, right?""I know you're angry, honey. But I was really just trying to repay a debt.""Please forgive me, honey. Can you just pick up the phone?""I won't help Jasper with his act anymore. Let's just go home and live our lives, okay?"The endless notifications were giving me a massive headache, so I blocked her number entirely.Then, I opened a travel app and booked a flight out of Jekovia for tomorrow afternoon.When I got back to Liam's, I filled him in on everything that had happened.Upon hearing the news, Liam laughed with delight.I handed him the management of Rachel's company to look after, sorted out a few remaining details, and th
