Chapter 1

I stared at the clause demanding I leave with absolutely nothing, a bitter smile tugging at my lips as I looked up at Greyson Walker.He pinned down my trembling hand, his voice entirely devoid of warmth. “I gave you a chance. My patience is wearing thin.”When Greyson first handed me the agreement, he had offered me seventy percent of his assets.But because I slapped Scarlett Harlow, he revised the entire contract, stripping me of every single penny.Averting my eyes from him, I looked down and swiftly signed my name.Greyson froze for a fraction of a second. He seemed caught off guard that I didn’t break down, scream, or threaten to end my life this time.“You got what you wanted, Greyson.”He stared at the signed divorce papers on the table, his expression completely unreadable.Once the paperwork was finalized, we drove over to the courthouse to pick up our divorce certificates.When I headed back to the estate to pack up my bags, Greyson trailed behind me the entire way,

Chapter 2

I spun on my heel and walked away, heading straight back to the estate to pack my things.At some point, Greyson appeared behind me, leaning against the doorframe with his eyes cast downward, completely unreadable.Once I finished packing, he reached out a hand to block my path just as I tried to brush past him.“Six years, and you’re still this stubborn?” he murmured. “You refuse to bow your head to me. All you have to do is open your mouth and beg…”I let out a sharp, furious laugh. “Beg you for what? To give me a path to survive? My reputation is utterly ruined, my career as a concert pianist is dead, and everyone avoids me like the plague.”After that massive wave of cyberbullying, no one would hire me to perform. I was dismissed from the faculty, and the private piano academy I had opened went completely bankrupt.Greyson sneered. “That’s exactly what you deserve.”Then, shifting his tone, he held out a sleek black card. “There’s a million dollars in here. It’s more than en

The wedding proceeded seamlessly.When the time came for them to exchange vows, Greyson froze, his gaze drifting over toward where I sat at the piano.The officiant prompted them once more. “Will the bride and groom please exchange rings?”An awkward, heavy silence settled over the entire venue.Suddenly, a booming voice shattered the tension. “Scarlett! You actually went behind my back and married another man!”A heavy-set man with a prominent beer belly marched forward, his face flushed with pure rage as he barked out his accusations. “How have I ever mistreated you over the last seven years? Back when we were dating online, I spent over two hundred thousand dollars on you…”Scarlett’s face paled with panic, and she instantly cut him off. “What are you talking about? I don’t even know who you are.”“You were the one who told me you had to fake your own death to hide it from your family just so you could run away with me! But the second my business went bankrupt, you went and c

Greyson stared down at the evidence laid bare in the report, his face contorting in a visible struggle with absolute disbelief.I watched him in total silence as he actively avoided my eyes, still utterly refusing to accept that he had completely misjudged the woman he loved.“I’m going to find Scarlett and get to the bottom of this!”Greyson slammed the investigation report onto the floor and stormed out of the room.Staring at his frantic retreat, a heavy bitterness settled into my chest as I leaned over to pick up the discarded files.The pages detailed every malicious thing Scarlett had done over the years.She had been dating multiple men online simultaneously to scam them out of money, explicitly biding her time to meet the wealthiest target in person.The heavy-set man, Barney Fletcher, who had turned the wedding into a bloodbath, was the mark she had initially deemed the richest.Back then, Greyson had inadvertently saved himself by pretending to be poor, but Scarlett h

I hesitated for a good while, but in the end, I still went.Scarlett looked at me with cold, venomous eyes. “Are you here to laugh at me?”“No.”She suddenly let out a sharp laugh. “You must really hate me, don’t you?”I paused for a brief second. “Maybe I did in the past. But now... I simply don’t care anymore.”She stared at me in dead silence for a few seconds, the smug smile completely vanishing from her face, inch by inch. “Zia, if you want to blame anyone, blame yourself for being too damn naive. This is just who I am.“To get exactly what I want, I don’t care who I have to sacrifice. Naturally, that included you.”It felt as though I was finally seeing her true colors clearly for the very first time.She offered a careless smirk, then added out of nowhere, “Did you know? Greyson absolutely adored that piece you wrote. Every single detail you shared with me about it worked like a charm when I used it to charm him. It’s such a pity you’ll never be able to play it again.”

Chapter 6

Greyson’s eyes darkened immediately. “Zia moved out.”“What?!” Evelyn cried out, tears instantly welling up in her eyes. “She didn’t mention a single word to us. Is Zia still holding a grudge against us because we refused to believe her back then...?”As my mother began to sob openly, my father pressed his lips into a tight, grim line, letting out a heavy, guilt-ridden sigh. “Damn it... It’s all our fault…”Listening to the piano melody echoing through his earbuds, Greyson stared blankly at the world as it blurred away in the downpour.Like a man who had completely lost his soul, he muttered under his breath, “The rainy season is coming... Before the Rain Falls... Zia…”This endless rain would ultimately drown every single lingering memory in damp regret.In a completely different country, across a completely different time zone, the exact same rain began to fall.The moment I stepped off the plane in London, a wave of cool, damp mist rushed against my face.Once I got situated

Chapter 7

He froze in place, utterly speechless for a very long time.I brushed right past his shoulder.When night fell, the rain began to pour yet again.London was a city plagued by endless rainy days and overcast skies.I figured Greyson would absolutely despise a place like this, and that it wouldn’t be long before he willingly vanished from my life entirely.During the very first year we were together, I discovered that he possessed a deep, primal hatred for rainy days.Every single time it rained, Greyson’s face would turn deathly pale, and he would cling to me in a tight, desperate embrace.Back then, he would ask me over and over, “Zia, will you really be by my side during every rainy day?”I always told him, “Yes. I will stay by your side through every single storm.”“Then swear it,” he would insist, his voice filled with a childish vulnerability.“I swear that every single time it rains, I will be right here next to Greyson Walker, keeping him company.”Only then would a br

“I don’t hate it here,” Greyson murmured.“And I don’t hate the rain anymore, either.”I turned my head, looking at him with a faint hint of surprise.I knew the exact reason why Greyson carried such a deep, visceral hatred for rainy days.On a night twisted by a violent storm when he was only seven years old, Greyson had watched his parents perish right before his eyes in a horrific car accident.He had only survived because they had shielded him desperately beneath their own bodies, leaving him trapped in the wreckage with the pungent stench of gasoline and the heavy, metallic smell of fresh blood flooding his nostrils.From that devastating night onward, the sound of rain became the ultimate shadow looming over his entire life.I looked at him and asked flatly, “Why?”“Because you are here.“Zia... you are the only cure I have ever had. Your music was the only thing that truly saved me.”I listened to his grand declarations, treating them as nothing more than a pathetic jo

Chapter 9

The echo of the piano notes vibrated in my ears, carrying a wave of intense longing and raw love that felt almost heavy enough to drown me.I allowed myself to sink deeply into Greyson’s melody. A sudden, massive wave of sorrow struck the very center of my chest. For a brief second, I could almost visualize a faint glimmer of warm sunlight, but it was instantly washed away by a soft, persistent drizzle. It felt as though every single minute and second buried in our shared memories had been left out in the damp cold.In the perpetual rainy season of his soul, the downpour was always freezing and completely saturated with misery.I truly had no idea how I could ever give this specific piece a proper title.Greyson cast a deep, incredibly heavy gaze over at me, the depths of his eyes suppressing a storm of emotions I couldn’t even begin to decipher. “During the three years you were gone,” he murmured, his voice cracking with a raspy hoarseness, “I sat at the keys and played this melod
