บททั้งหมดของ Ending Our Marriage in 30 Seconds: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Lucien's POVMy lips parted, but before I could object, the young officer had already used my phone to dial my emergency contact. "Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable."After a brief silence, the traffic officer awkwardly returned my phone. "Maybe they're busy." I forced a smile, took my ice-cold phone from him, and silently blocked the number that had been pinned at the top of my contacts for 18 years.Eira was a woman of her word. Since she had already paid the price to buy herself a night of peace and quiet, there was no way I would be able to reach her that night. Much like when Eira had promised to cure my eyes. Even when every hospital turned us away, even when we were penniless and had no choice but to sleep under bridges and survive by scavenging for food, she had never given up. To keep her word, she had taken on every odd job imaginable and even risked her life in illegal street races. Her body had constantly been covered in bruises, without

Lucien's POVI locked my phone and responded apathetically, "A friend."Seeing my reaction, the corners of Eira's mouth lifted, though the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Is that so? I had no idea you had other friends besides me." "It's just a text message. Surely you're not going to make a scene over something so trivial, Ms. Primrose?" I calmly used her words against her, yet her expression instantly hardened.Jaden, who was beside her, put on a pitiful expression. "Eira, is he behaving like this because he doesn't want to look after me? I think he just looks down on someone like me who only does odd jobs at the racetrack. In his eyes, even if I solved his problem and allowed him to effortlessly become a father, I'm still not worthy of a bit of his care."Eira scoffed. "Do you think he's any nobler than you? Without me, he'd just be a homeless blind man right now." Right after saying that, she kissed Jaden lightly on the lips and drawled, "Since he doesn't respect you, I'll al

Third-Person POVEira's question made Jaden flinch. He forced a smile. "Why would you think that?"Paying him no mind, Eira coldly ordered, "Pull up all the surveillance footage from that road on that day."The blood drained from his face in an instant. He thought he had enough time to cover his tracks. It never crossed his mind that Eira hadn't trusted him for a single second. In no time, Rowena returned with a laptop. When Eira watched the fiery-red car crash through the guardrail, her face darkened as if a storm was brewing. Even though she couldn't make out who was inside the vehicle because the footage was taken from afar, an uneasy feeling spread through her chest. Rowena leaned in to take a closer look. "Huh, isn't that Mr. Sinclair?" As soon as her words fell, she watched the car plunge straight into the ocean. In a heartbeat, her face twisted in sheer terror. "Mr. Sinclair… Why is he there?"Rowena whipped her head around to look at Jaden. "When I arrived at the

Lucien's POVEira stared long and hard at our intertwined hands. "So the reason you suddenly wanted a divorce was because of this bitch? You told me you loathed me for cheating on you, yet if you weren't infertile, I wouldn't have gone looking for other men! Look at what you're doing now. How are you any different from me back then?"Eyeing me mockingly, she reprimanded me matter-of-factly, as if my inability to give her a child was a perfectly valid justification for her unbridled affairs. Yet, she had never once stopped to ask me why we couldn't have children. Eira had simply used it as a convenient excuse to indulge in the thrill and excitement of the chase.Before I could retort, Calliope, who was beside me, had already lunged at her. "How dare you speak to him like that! If it weren't for you, Luci would never have suffered those injuries in the first place! Instead of reflecting on the cause, you brazenly brought your lover into your home and even indulged him when he pushed L

Lucien's POVAt the time, I shook my head and beamed at Calliope. "I can't. My star's right here."Sadly, in a mere decade, everything had changed beyond recognition. Still, I looked up at her and earnestly said, "Thank you for being willing to help me." Had she not arrived in the nick of time that day after my car plunged into the ocean to pull me out of the sinking vehicle, I would most likely have become nothing more than bones at the bottom of the ocean. Calliope looked away as if it was no big deal, though her ears were burning bright red. "Don't sweat it. You kind of saved my life back then, too... Besides, we're partners now. Of course I should help you!"I couldn't help but chuckle and nod. The moment I decided to leave Eira, I had reached out to Calliope. I proposed becoming her business partner, offering my expertise in sports nutrition and biomechanical care tailored specifically for race car drivers. Looking back on it now, I felt a little sentimental. I guess I
