"Alright, whatever you say. Help me wrap up the entire set."A chill spread through my entire body, as if I had been thrown straight into an ice pit.I recognized that man's voice.It was Brooke's crush, Isaac Jamison.It felt as though a dull blade had carved into my heart. My nails dug deep into my palms as I fought back the sting in my eyes. My voice trembled. "Brooke… you can spend 3 thousand on a set of underwear for him, yet you won't give me 300 to buy a suit?"Her voice faltered for a split second, as if anger were masking her panic. "What nonsense are you talking about? Can't I give a gift to a friend without you interfering?"Bitterness flooded my chest.A friend? The kind of friend she bought underwear for?My own underwear had holes worn through them, yet Brooke had never once cared."You're suspicious all day long. I'm sick of it!"The call ended abruptly.It felt like I had been slapped across the face—numb, yet still stinging.A tight, suffocating pain grippe

A message from Brooke came through. 'How was Children's Day? If Jane's upset, just comfort her more. I'll explain things to her tonight.'For once, I did not reply. It felt like something had slipped away for good, something that could never be taken back.A long time passed. As the music from the kindergarten celebration faded toward its end, I stood up in a daze. Then I saw a post Isaac had made on social media.In the photo, he held his son in one arm, the other wrapped around a woman's waist, a property certificate in his hand.'Already a house-owner at three. Who'd believe she's not his birth mother?'My vision blurred, drawn to the woman's slender neck. Around it hung a diamond necklace.I recognized it instantly.It was the one I had bought for Brooke with the first big payment I had ever earned.Back then, she had thrown her arms around me and said, "Marcus, you're amazing!"But when did she start seeing me as useless?My throat tightened as if an invisible hand had w

I calmly turned off my phone screen.In the past, I might have felt heartbroken. I might have lost control and demanded an explanation from Brooke. But now, none of it mattered anymore.I printed out the divorce papers and, for the first time, took a taxi to Brooke's office. Back then, in her eyes, even that would have been considered wasteful. Money spent with nowhere better to go.But when I arrived, I was told Brooke was attending a banquet. Security stopped me at the entrance.I was about to leave when Isaac, who had stepped outside for some air, spotted me. In the end, as her rightful husband, I still had to rely on a few casual words from him—his charity—just to be allowed inside.Isaac walked over, a provocative smile tugging at his lips. "Marcus, doesn't it feel awful, being unwanted by everyone? Too bad… Brooke's attention is all on my son and me. She can't possibly spare any time to care about how you're living. A thousand dollars isn't easy to live on, is it? How about

I had no interest in wasting another word on Brooke.I pulled out my phone and brought up the private bedroom photos Isaac had sent me. "If you don't want a divorce, that's fine. Isaac's son is about to start kindergarten, right? What if I post these online and make sure no kindergarten accepts him? Do you dare to take that risk?"Disbelief filled Brooke's eyes. She could not accept that I, the man who had always obeyed her and endured everything without complaint, would say something like this just to force a divorce.Isaac's eyes reddened as he grabbed Brooke's hand, his voice pleading. "Brooke, you can't! Henry is already so pitiful, growing up without a mother at such a young age. He finally met you. He can't bear a scandal like this…"I looked at him with a faint, mocking smile. "Oh, so you know it's scandalous to bring a child into someone else's relationship?"Isaac choked on his words, avoiding my gaze with a guilty expression.Brooke frowned, refusing outright. "Marcus,

But in the next second, a rag was stuffed into my daughter's mouth.Brooke turned around, a twisted smile spreading across her face. "Marcus, you finally came."I had never seen her like this before. Her gaze was filled with a sickening obsession."Marcus, I know why you wanted to leave me now. It's all because of these three wretches!"Holding a knife, she lightly traced it across the trembling little boy's cheek."Don't worry, Marcus. Once I get rid of them, no one will be able to stand in the way of us being together!"Isaac cried out in despair, his voice breaking. "Brooke, that's your son too! Have you forgotten you said you'd be Henry's mother?"A sharp slap cut him off, snapping his head to the side.Brooke's expression turned vicious. "Shut up! I'm not anyone's mother. I'm only Marcus' wife! Do you really think I didn't know you just wanted a sucker? What right do you have to compare yourself to Marcus?"Something in her seemed to snap completely. She grabbed Isaac and
