Chapter 1

My wife's assistant, Zack Fleming, was still causing a ruckus next to me even after I hung up on my wife, Melanie Perry. "Just you wait, Clive Sherwood! Mel will definitely seek justice on my behalf!" he exclaimed. "I'm the famous lucky star of the company. It'll go bankrupt if you dare to lay even a single finger on me!"I looked down to check the time. "It's only 2:00 pm. I had no idea that you were so good at daydreaming." I sneered. "Let me help you clear your mind."I shot a look at the ten bodyguards, all of whom were over six feet tall. They swiftly surrounded Zack and rained down blows on him.It didn't take long for Zack's face to turn red and swollen. Although he didn't even have the strength to get back up on his feet, that didn't stop him from hurling threats at me."You're done for! Mel cherishes me more than anything else in the world! She definitely won't let you off the hook!"I was completely unbothered by his furious threats and lit a cigarette. I was perfe

"How can that be?" I asked mockingly. "You should have more confidence in yourself. I asked the bodyguards to give you a check-up just now. You're very tough. You just have to close your eyes. It'll all be over soon."I was just about to start the blood collection device when the lights in the room suddenly went out.A loud bang cut through the air the next second.Melanie burst into the operating room, her high heels clacking loudly against the floor. Her eyes flashed red the moment she saw Zack. She hurried over to him, exclaiming, "How did you end up in this state, Zack?"I couldn't help myself and let out a mocking laugh when I saw her hold Zack's hand with a heartbroken and teary expression.Melanie had severe germophobia. On a whim, she decided that she wanted to raise a few cats and dogs. Not only did she not take care of them herself, but she also demanded that the house had to be completely free of fur.Whenever I used the toilet, she would ask a maid to clean it three

"You're just a pawn in our marriage alliance," I said. "You have no right to bargain with me. I'm only giving you one chance."I dropped the cigarette on the floor and ground it under my shoe after I was done speaking. I then left the operating room with my bodyguards.I thought Melanie was an intelligent woman. I assumed that she would be able to distinguish between her impulsive feelings and long-term interests and realize which was more important.However, reality would soon prove that I overestimated her.…The next day, I returned to the company to handle certain matters after visiting Cindy.I intentionally took a quick look when I passed by the office area and noticed that Zack's cubicle had been completely cleared out.It seemed that Melanie wasn't that much of a fool.I calmly sipped my coffee before turning to look at one of my subordinates, asking, "When did Team C's Zack Fleming resign?"The man was briefly stunned before he pointed at the huge billboard beyond the

I didn't expect Melanie to give Zack the watch as compensation. When I snapped back to my senses, I glared at her and said, "I'm the CEO of the company. Why didn't you consult me before naming Zack as the global ambassador? Also, he's not qualified for the job. Swap him out right now."Zack immediately fixed a pitiful expression on his face and gripped Melanie's sleeve.Melanie shot an affectionate look at him before saying coldly, "I'm the head of the department, which gives me the right to call the shots when it comes to the department's internal decisions. I'll use actual results to prove that I made the right choice."She then moved to leave the office, pulling Zack along.I scoffed, prompting a few bodyguards to block the door."Do you really think that I'll allow a thief to leave? Hand over the watch right now."Melanie was briefly stunned. Her voice was colored with guilt as she explained, "Zack's the ambassador now, which makes him the representative of the company when h

"Since Melanie insists on making me her enemy, I'll help her understand that she's no match against me!" I exclaimed.A series of knocks came from the door. A few seconds later, my secretary rushed toward me to give me a report."We've tracked down the last signal source for your sister's phone, Mr. Sherwood! It came from a private hospital in Westshore, the same one that Perry Group invested in."My gaze turned cold in an instant.Melanie had invested in the hospital a year ago, but construction only wrapped up recently. She told me that she had specially built that private hospital to make it easier to take care of Cindy.I still remembered how she took my hand and smiled at me. She had said that Cindy and I had to always be in good health, so that the three of us could grow old together.How ironic.…Cindy had already fainted from the pain and was lying unconscious on the floor by the time I rushed to the hospital.A nerve pulsed angrily in my forehead when I noticed that

Chapter 6

The color drained from Melanie's and Zack's faces the moment the words left my lips. It was obvious that they didn't expect me to give them such cruel options—to force them into the role of a pair of "star-crossed lovers" and to decide their fates with their own two hands.Sweat beaded across Zack's forehead as a panicked expression crossed his face. He fell to his knees with a loud thud and groveled at my feet, blubbering, "I can't do it, Mr. Sherwood! I just can't! "Mel… She's the woman I love the most in this life. She gave me a second chance at life and everything that I have now. There's no way that I can raise my hand against her!"Although it looked like he was trying to reason with me, his gaze was glued to the knife on the floor that gleamed with a cold light. Anyone could see the cowardly glint in his eyes.I shot Melanie a mocking look and sneered. "See? This is the man who you insist on protecting to the point that you were willing to betray me and hurt Cindy. He claim

"Isn't this…" Melanie stammered. "Isn't this a family heirloom from your mother? You told me that it's only given to your chosen wife…"Zack let out a disdainful laugh upon hearing her words. "A family heirloom? How on earth did you become the CEO when you're such an idiot? I bought that from a store for less than ten dollars. Only a fool like you would treat it like an actual treasure."Melanie was utterly flabbergasted. She stared at the cheap plastic jewels around her wrist, looking as if she was staring at the absurd life she had led for the last five years. A bitter laugh bubbled from her throat before she mustered the last of her strength to remove the bracelet and hurl it to the floor.The bracelet exploded into a million pieces, reminiscent of her broken heart. The light in her eyes gradually dimmed as she collapsed in the pool of blood, her life fading away with the blood that seeped from her body.Meanwhile, Zack, who had personally pushed her into a bottomless abyss of

"Save your breath. You're going to need it to explain yourself to the police," I said, ignoring his shouts as I turned around.The paramedics hastily lifted Melanie, who was barely breathing, onto a stretcher and began administering emergency treatment on her.I glanced at her. Her deathly pale face still carried lingering hints of shock and anguish. I scoffed before turning around and leaving."You better hope that you die on the operating table tonight, Melanie," I thought to myself. "If you survive, I'll teach you the true meaning of despair for the rest of your days."…I drove to another hospital after settling everything at the scene.A caretaker kept vigil by Cindy's bedside, carefully feeding water to her."You're here, Clive," Cindy said.I nodded as I swept my gaze over her. Both her legs were in casts. The surgery had been a success. Although she was weak, she was in good spirits.I told Cindy she could go back to school soon and informed her of the follow-up arra

"That's all you ever were to me," I said.The color drained from Melanie's face in an instant. It was almost as if her very soul was crushed at my words."A pawn…" she mumbled to herself, her gaze turning hazy.However, in the next second, her eyes zeroed in on my hand. "If I was just a pawn… What's that on your finger?"My heart skipped a beat as I reflexively followed her line of sight.Melanie was staring at my left ring finger—at the wedding ring that I had worn for the last five years.I couldn't believe I had forgotten to take it off.The ring used to sparkle under the light, symbolizing the only hope that I ever had for our marriage. However, at that moment, it was stained with Melanie's blood, turning it dull and mottled.It was a reflection on my relationship with her—on our marriage, filled with scheming from the very beginning.I roughly slipped the ring off my finger. "Thanks for the reminder," I said as I shot an icy smile at her.I then carelessly threw the ri

Chapter 10

Melanie lunged at me as if she had lost her mind and tried to grab my pant leg."No! Don't call the police, Clive! I'm begging you! I'll work myself to the bone for you! I'm willing to do anything!" she screamed.She kneeled on the floor and pathetically groveled at my feet. Muffled thuds echoed around the room as she knocked her forehead against the floor. "As long as you let the Perry family off the hook… As long as you show me mercy…"I stepped back and avoided her hands. There were glaciers in my eyes as I stared at her like she was dead. The corners of my lips curled up into a mocking smile as I looked down at her from the tip of my nose."I already gave you a chance," I said. "You're the one who didn't cherish it."I paused as I took in her tear-streaked face. I couldn't find a trace of the glorious demeanor that she used to carry herself with."You're already an adult, Melanie. It's time for you to learn that you have to pay for the consequences of your own choices."Me
