Chapter 1

Gillian Chadwick chuckled and waved her hand, signaling that it was unnecessary.But her adoptive brother, Jude Chadwick, was firm, patiently reminding her again and again that marriage wasn't something to be taken lightly.Gillian's resolve slowly wavered. She bit her lip, stealing glances at me now and then.When she finally turned to look at me, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.Eight years of being each other's first love since high school, only for it to end like a total joke.Before Gillian could say anything, I pulled the marriage paperwork from my bag and handed it to her.I jerked my chin toward the city hall. "Go ahead."She looked stunned by how easily I gave in. "Thomas, you— "Jude impatiently tugged at her sleeve and urged her to get in line.Gillian swallowed her question and turned to reassure me, just like she always did. "Thomas, Jude is just looking out for us. Getting some practice at being a good wife isn't a bad thing."As soon as this trial marriage w

The teasing remark sent the already noisy private room into an uproar, and countless eyes turned toward me.I glanced at Gillian instinctively, but she didn't even look at me. Instead, she was staring at Jude as if begging him for help.My chest clenched. My lashes fluttered as I looked away in embarrassment.How could I have forgotten? Gillian had married Jude, not me.Seeing how excited everyone was, I killed the mood in an instant. "Why look at me? I'm not the groom. Jude is."A heavy silence fell over the room. Everyone knew what was going on between Gillian and Jude.Gillian's expression darkened. "Thomas, why would you say that? I already told you. Jude and I are just trying this out for you. He's my brother. Are you seriously getting jealous of him?"There was nothing but annoyance in her eyes, as if I were the one making a scene for no reason. But after all these years, was I really the one being unreasonable?She always said Jude was just her brother, so sleeping in th

I didn't stop. Instead, I picked up my pace. But Gillian caught up and grabbed my arm. "Thomas, what's wrong with you?"She rarely lost her temper, but this time, I saw a flash of anger in her eyes.Before I could ask what she meant, she spoke up again, "I thought you'd realized your mistakes, but you clearly didn't mean a word of your apology. You know perfectly well that there's nothing going on between Jude and me. I'll marry you eventually."Why did you bring up the fact that Jude and I are married? And why did you return the money for our wedding?"Are you really going to let your jealousy ruin the relationship between Jude and me and make everyone think something inappropriate is going on between us? Are you trying to ruin his reputation?"Her accusations hit like heavy blows, sending a dull ache through my chest.I thought she had chased after me to explain why she hadn't pushed Jude away. It turned out that she didn't care about that at all. She was only concerned about

Just as I finished speaking, I heard Jude calling from farther down the hall. "Gill, Brenda wants you back inside!"Gillian immediately turned and headed toward him without thinking.After taking a few steps, she seemed to remember I was still standing there. She stopped and turned back. "Thomas, what were you saying?"Before I could answer, she gave a casual smile. "Whatever it was, you can decide. You're going to be the one calling the shots at home anyway."She took my hand, speaking faster than usual. "I know you're not a fan of these kinds of gatherings. Why don't you head home first? Just text me when you get there so I know you're safe. I won't walk you out, okay?"She phrased it like a question, but she clearly didn't expect an answer. The moment she finished, she turned and walked away without looking back.I watched her from behind, my heart sinking with every step.That half-hearted attempt to soothe me wasn't about me at all. Gillian just wanted to wrap things up as

Chapter 5

Tim's words left me speechless. For a moment, I wondered if this was some kind of scam.I had personally picked up the deed from the county clerk's office when I bought the house. How could Jude possibly be the owner?Tim seemed to realize I didn't believe him. With an awkward laugh, he sent me a digital copy of the transfer agreement through WhatsApp.I opened the file. There was so much fine print that my eyes started to blur, but one thing immediately caught my attention—the signature.I froze. I searched my memory, but I couldn't remember ever signing anything like this. Then, I saw the date on the agreement, and suddenly, everything came rushing back.It was the day before Jude's birthday. Gillian had suddenly handed me a stack of papers. "Thomas, I need you to sign this. Don't forget."I was busy editing a video, so I didn't read them carefully. I just assumed that it was the purchase agreement for the new car she wanted.Since I'd promised to buy it for her, I signed the

Chapter 6

Gillian's brows furrowed deeply, and I turned to leave.I had barely taken a step when Jude stepped in front of me. "Thomas, it's just a house. I'll give it up. Why are you making things so hard for Gill?"He looked fiercely protective of Gillian, but his clenched jaw showed how humiliated he felt.I looked at him coldly. "Get out of my way. You were the one who asked for the house in the first place. So don't pretend to care about Gillian now."Jude's face tightened at my words. I knew I had hit a nerve. If he hadn't wanted the house, Gillian never would have given it to him.Jude instantly balled his hands into fists, looking ready to swing, but before he could make a move, Gillian shoved me hard. I stumbled backward and slammed my lower back against the corner of the desk.Before I could even cry out in pain, Gillian slapped me across the face. The sharp crack echoed through the room, and my cheek immediately began to swell.I was still trying to process what had happened whe

Chapter 7

I managed to get onto the next flight without a hitch. As soon as I checked in, I got the notification to board.Once I settled into my seat, I took out my old SIM card and replaced it with a new one.The documentary shoot was expected to last three years. I figured that would be more than enough time for me to forget those painful eight years.After a bout of turbulence, the plane climbed higher, and the ground below grew smaller and smaller.The hospital that had looked so huge just moments ago was now barely visible. To the people inside, the plane overhead probably looked just as small. None of them knew where it was headed or who was on board.…Meanwhile, Gillian spent a long time in the operating room trying to convince herself to go through with the IVF. But in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it and came back out.Jude rushed up to her, but his smile faded when he realized the procedure hadn't happened. His eyes filled with hurt. "Gill, am I asking too much of

Chapter 8

Gillian's heart had tightened with guilt. She blamed herself for not paying enough attention to Jude. She didn't even know that he was struggling so badly.Jude and Gillian weren't related by blood at all. He was two years older than her and came to live with her family when he was ten years old.A psychic had once warned her parents that Gillian was destined to attract troubles, suggesting that adopting a son might turn things around. Taking the advice, her parents adopted Jude from a relative.At first, Gillian resented him. To her, his presence was a constant reminder that something was wrong with her. For the next two years, she was cold to him and picked on him at every opportunity.Then, her parents died in an accident, and their family fell apart overnight.Gillian was only ten years old, still a kid in elementary school. She could barely take care of herself, let alone deal with the mountain of debt her parents left behind.During that time, debt collectors came after her

Chapter 9

A flicker of surprise crossed Gillian's eyes. She didn't think much of it and called again.When the next few calls went unanswered too, she began to panic. Frowning, she opened her chat with me and sent me a string of apologies, trying to make peace. But there was still no response.Yet she soon managed to calm herself down, telling herself she was overthinking things.She figured I was probably still angry, which was why I wasn't answering. This had happened before. She didn't know why she was so worried.She caught herself acting like an anxious teenager and quickly brushed the feeling aside. At least I hadn't blocked her, which meant things couldn't be that bad.She recalled a fight they had when I demanded that Jude move out. It wasn't the first time I had asked that, but that time, I was more determined than ever.I even gave her an ultimatum—either Jude moved out, or we were breaking up.Back then, Gillian had felt nothing but helpless frustration, even a bit annoyed. She

Chapter 10

Dr. Reeves' words left the small room in stunned silence. Even their breathing seemed unnaturally loud.For a moment, Gillian wondered if she'd heard him wrong.She struggled to make sense of his words. How could Jude possibly be fine when there was that disturbing diary and everything he'd done over the years? She had always believed those things were proof that he was mentally ill.At Gillian's question, Dr. Reeves' expression grew more serious. He looked her in the eye and said, "He's faking it."Gillian was even more confused. Dr. Reeves had sounded almost certain back then that Jude was suffering from depression. Now, after meeting him only once, he was telling her something completely different. She felt deceived."I'm sorry," Dr. Reeves said apologetically. "Part of this is on me. If those diary entries truly reflected his mental state, there was no doubt that he was unwell. But I told you even then that I needed to evaluate him in person."He gave Gillian a helpless loo
