Chapter 1

I stood before the lavish wedding venue. My wife Celia Quayle’s wedding photos with her male bodyguard, Mason Johnston, were everywhere. The event was so elaborate that even relatives from both families attended.Even so, she had still tried to tell me it was just a business arrangement. Did she take me for a fool?Even if a business arrangement required a wedding ceremony, why would she choose Mason Johnston, a mere bodyguard, over me, her husband?Celia took my hand and said with a sigh, “Fine. If I don’t explain it clearly for you, you’ll just overthink again.“You know he once risked his life to pull me out of a fire. His hand was badly burned in the process.“His only wish was to have a grand, public wedding. I owe him my life. I can’t just ignore that, can I?”But Mason was not the only bodyguard who rescued her that day. Nor was he the most severely injured. So, why did she not marry all of them?Even if he wanted a grand wedding, why did she have to marry him? He could h

What a fool I was. I had actually been worried about her burning out. So, Cyrus and I worked ourselves ragged, taking on any part-time work that came our way, just to save a little more money and make her life easier.However, the wedding I had envisioned never came. Instead, I watched Celia marry someone else.Cyrus was furious on my behalf. He stormed off to the wedding venue to confront Celia. A BMW ran a red light and hit him.I watched the car hit him. Blood splashed across the pavement. His guts lay scattered on the ground.Just thinking about that scene made my heart clench painfully. I turned pale as my body swayed, barely standing straight.Celia thought I was upset over the photos. She rushed to steady me.“Ethan, I can explain. They were just quick snapshots from my business trips. “If it bothers you that much, I’ll take pictures with you next time. We can even bring Cyrus along and make it a family thing.”My knuckles turned white from gripping the hem of my shir

The abusive man was about to slap Celia, but I got in the way. That was how I met her.After a while, that same couple reconciled and filed a complaint against us, causing us to get fired.At the time, I did not know Celia came from a wealthy family. She was just working there to see how working-class people lived. Afraid she might not have enough to eat, I paid for all her meals.She came to my place every day and never minded our messy, cramped living conditions. She even complimented my cooking. On top of that, she was incredibly attentive to Cyrus. She often tutored him in his schoolwork and even became his free language tutor.Soon, we started dating. I discovered her true identity after graduation. I had taken a side job as a server at a wealthy family’s birthday party. I never expected the birthday girl to be Celia.That day, I made a mistake and knocked over a glass. A client had slapped me hard and humiliated me.Everyone kept their distance, but she gathered her dre

Regardless, I had to give Cyrus a proper send-off.[Where are you?]I sent Celia a message, but I received no reply.I had no choice but to head home first.As soon as I opened the door, I saw candlelight flickering in the dim living room.Mason sat at one end of the dining table in my pajamas. His hair was still wet, and Celia enjoyed a candlelit dinner with him.Celia was cheerfully placing a piece of steak onto his plate. “Mason dear, come try this black pepper beef and tell me if it’s good.”When she turned and saw me, she was startled. Her fork clattered to the floor.Celia stood up in a panic.“Didn’t you say you weren’t coming back?”Realizing she had misspoken, she quickly explained herself, “Mason fell into the pool while he was protecting me. I didn’t want him to catch a cold, so I told him to go take a shower.“He didn’t have any change of clothes with him, so I just lent him your pajamas. You don’t mind, do you?”I had already given up on her. A piece of cloth

Celia’s eyes welled up with tears. She threw the bank card at me as she said furiously, “So, that’s what it was. I wondered why he had been randomly slapping himself out of nowhere. It turns out you’ve been bullying him behind my back this whole time.”I did not bother to explain or argue with her. I just picked up the bank card from the floor and walked away without looking back.Celia raised an eyebrow and wanted to chase after me. Just then, Mason coughed up blood and acted tough, saying, “Celia, I’m just a lowly bodyguard. Don’t let me come between you and your husband. You should just fire me.”Celia’s eyes welled up. She gave him a soft, exasperated punch on his shoulder.“Don’t be ridiculous. You saved my life. If I fired you now, everyone would call me heartless and ungrateful.“Don’t overthink it. Let me get you patched up first.“Don’t worry about Ethan. He’s easy to smooth things over with.”I did not stay to listen to the rest. Instead, I went to the bank and c

Celia then realized she was no longer able to see my status.Her knuckles turned white from gripping her phone too hard.She asked Mason furiously, “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation? What is going on?”Mason had not expected me to actually call the police. His face turned pale as he explained, “I don’t know. I was busy with the wedding that day. I don’t know anything.”The police officers had not mentioned the time of Cyrus’ death, yet he had blurted it out immediately. That clearly showed he had something to do with it.Celia raised an eyebrow and questioned him, “Are you sure you didn’t do anything? Mason, you know what happens when someone lies to me, don’t you?”He smiled bitterly and said, “Celia, if you don’t trust me, then just fire me.“If I’d known this would happen, you never should have helped me make my dream come true. It got you and your husband fighting. Now, on top of everything, we’re caught up in this whole disaster.“At the end of the day, it’s all m

She had originally wanted to text me about it. But when she saw the single gray check mark, she had no choice but to ask around.“I’ve been so swamped with work lately that I completely lost track of Cyrus. Do you know what grade Cyrus is? Is he in junior year?”She sighed as she realized she had neglected me for too long.Recalling the good times we once shared, she felt a twinge of regret. She ordered an expensive gift and planned to apologize to me when we met. In her mind, I loved her so much. I would surely forgive her, and we would get back together.She had no choice but to approach a random student to ask about Cyrus.Several students recognized the name when she said Cyrus.He had attended both middle school and high school at that school. Soon, a former classmate recognized Celia.“Are you Cyrus’ sister-in-law?”Celia was overjoyed. As long as someone recognized her, that was good. She quickly responded, “Yes, I am. Can you tell me which class Cyrus is in now? I n

Chapter 8

At the time of Cyrus’ death, the building across the street was broadcasting live about her wedding to Mason.It made her realize that Cyrus had been in an accident on the very day of her wedding.That brought back the memory of my phone call begging for surgery money.At that time, she had instinctively assumed I was just causing trouble.After all, she not only did not inform me about her wedding to Mason in advance, but had also broadcast it live across the city.If I saw it, I would have definitely objected and tried to stop it.So, she thought that I had not really been calling about the money. I just wanted her to come running to me so I could stop the wedding.Cyrus was the only family I had left. She never could have believed I would jinx my own brother just to spoil her ceremony.Back then, she had even felt somewhat disappointed in me. She thought I had lost myself and was not the same boy she once knew.In the end, she finally realized she had misjudged me completel

“Celia, I don’t care if other people doubt me. But you can’t.“I’ve never asked you for anything. Please, help me...”Celia was moved, but she still shook her head. “The police already have all the evidence. There’s nothing more I can do for you.”Mason deeply regretted his action.If he had known this would happen, he should never have provoked me in the first place.What he did not know was that every deed left a footprint. My report to the police only accelerated the investigation.Even without the evidence I provided, the police would have found Mason eventually.He had committed a crime, and there was no escaping the law.Mason rolled up his sleeve and revealed the scar on his arm. “Celia, can you help me one last time, for the sake of the fact that I once saved you?“Just this once. After that, you won’t owe me a thing.”Celia stared at the scar, and she lowered her gaze for a moment. “What do you want me to do?”A flash of joy crossed Mason’s face.“I can’t get out

Celia hesitated, as if she wanted to say something more. In the end, she simply placed a document in front of me. “Mason explained that he did not mean for any of this to happen. I’ve helped you draft a letter of leniency for the judge. Could you sign it so he can receive a lighter sentence? Don’t worry, I know you’ve been wronged. Just name your terms.”So, she came for Mason after all.That was very generous of her.She had withheld my money and used it to buy Mason a car. In the end, Cyrus died under that very car I had saved so hard to afford.How utterly ironic.Celia thought I was considering it, so she quickly pulled out a pen.I coldly slapped her pen away.“I’m not going to sign that, Celia. I want a divorce.”“What? You want to divorce me? Why?”Celia did not bother with the pen that had fallen in the car. She turned and stared at me in shock. “You’re just saying that out of anger, right?“Ethan, I know Cyrus is gone, and you’re heartbroken. He was such a swee
