Chapter 1

Lucien's POVRight before getting out of the car, as if she just remembered something, Eira Primrose turned around to remind me, "Oh, and don't call me in the middle of the night again. The boytoy I'm seeing tonight has a bit of an ego, and he's hard to appease. I don't want anything to ruin my mood." I forced a smile and silently indicated that I understood. Eira, however, wasn't satisfied. Cocking her brow, she asked, "What's with the face? I already kicked out the person who made a scene in front of you. I even had the latest Patek Philippe delivered to your office. Isn't that enough for you to move on? Tell me, what is it you actually want?"I quietly handed her a transfer agreement. "I want this parcel of land. I intend to build a manor so I can go there to unwind in the future." Eira studied me for a long while before curling her lips. "Luc, sometimes... I miss the old you."After signing her name decisively, she slammed the car door shut with a loud thud, cutting herself

Chapter 2

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

Chapter 3

Lucien's POVLittle did I know, as soon as I boarded the jet, I'd run into Jaden Ellington, the male flag bearer who had pushed me down the stairs. Eira was nestled in his arms as if it were the most natural thing in the world as she announced nonchalantly, "I'm pregnant, and based on the timeline, it's Jaden's. I only agreed to this vacation as a reward for him. He's a picky eater, and he doesn't know how to take good care of himself. Since you're good at cooking and domestic chores, you'll just have to work a little harder on this trip." Without uttering a single word, I looked at her as if I was looking at a stranger.When we were young, she would always come home covered in a patchwork of new and old injuries. Back then, I was blind and unable to help her shoulder the burdens of life. All I could do was silently bandage her wounds and massage out her bruises before groping around in the darkness to cook her a plate of spaghetti with hands covered in countless burns and blis

Chapter 4

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

Chapter 5

Third-Person POVBy the time Eira came to, the excruciating pain racking her body tore a sharp gasp from her throat. Clutching her forehead, she felt disoriented until a hand reached out from beside her and grabbed hold of her. Her gaze shifted toward Jaden, who was equally disheveled beside her, and her brows knitted together. "Who are you?"He froze for a moment before an overwhelming sense of joy washed over him.Eira appeared to have lost her memory, and Lucien was now missing. Wasn't this a golden opportunity for him to become Eira's husband?Suppressing his tumultuous emotions, he stroked her lower abdomen and hurriedly clarified, "I'm your husband, Eira. Quick, save our baby!"…Lying on the hospital bed, Eira stared blankly at the wedding ring on her finger. The deep indentation it left on her skin suggested that this marriage had lasted a long time. Yet, when she thought of the man in the room next door, all she felt was an indescribable sense of estrangement. The mome

Chapter 6

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

Chapter 7

Lucien's POVThe moment Eira saw me, she could hardly believe her eyes. When I turned to leave, she strode up to me. "I knew you were still alive, Luc!" Her expression was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "You must've gone through so much while you were wandering out here all this time. Come on, I'll take you home."However, I avoided her outstretched hand and took a step back. "Please keep your hands to yourself, Ms. Primrose. We're divorced."Eira froze. "Excuse me?" My brows drew together, but I knew that since she had tracked me down, there was no way for me to avoid her any longer. So, I pulled up the social media post I had made to celebrate my new life on the day I received the divorce certificate. "See? We were no longer husband and wife as of two months ago."Eira stared blankly at the photo, muttering under her breath, "N-No, that's impossible! I've never signed—"Mid-sentence, realization struck her. She stared at me in utter disbelief. "Two months ago... What

Chapter 8

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

Chapter 9

Third-Person POVEira's touch was as gentle as a lover's caress, yet it made every hair on his body stand on end. "I know I fucked up. Please—"However, the force around his neck only tightened further. The unwillingness to accept his impending death fueled a self-destructive courage within him. He figured he had nothing left to lose and cackled. "As if you're any better than me! You're the one who gave me the opportunity to teach Lucien a lesson, remember? Why are you pretending to be a devoted wife now?"Now that he doesn't want you anymore, you got what you deserved! Besides, when I pushed your pitiful husband down the stairs that day, do you have any idea how much he bled? It practically soaked through his white shirt! "Where were you then? You didn't even hear his cries for help. I merely beckoned, and you crawled into my bed like a dog!" Eira's chest abruptly tightened. Recalling that day, when she had received the call informing him that Lucien had been hospitalized, sh

Chapter 10

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
