Chapter 1

My breath hitched when I saw the text from Mark's mother, Linda Zeller.I looked up and saw Mark holding Wendy Johnson's waist tightly.This was my 108th time catching him cheating.His friends had also noticed me. They started teasing him."Mark, your wife's here to drag you home to make a baby again.""Can you believe that she would still be at it after all these years? Is she really that desperate for a man?"Mark's buddies spoke with mocking tones, and their laughter stung my ears.Hearing their taunts, Mark's lips curled slightly. He showed not the slightest panic at being caught cheating.He brazenly pulled Wendy closer and gave her a French kiss right in front of me.The wet, smacking sounds of their saliva exchange were incredibly conspicuous in the private room.Such a display quickly drew screams and applause from the people around."Mark, how does Wendy compare to all those women you keep in the castle?""She's better than Gloria, that's for sure."Mark let go

Laughter erupted in the private room, the people clapping and whistling.They pushed me, urging me to pick a man to take home.I let out a long sigh, the dull ache in my heart slowly turning numb."No need. From now on, you can fool around as much as you want. I won't bother with you anymore."The atmosphere in the private room froze.Perhaps it was the first time they'd seen me act this way.Before, to beg Mark to go home, I would throw away all my dignity.I had licked his lovers' shoes and personally cleaned up the aftermath of their wild nights.This was the first time I'd ever talked back to Mark.He seemed stunned. A moment later, he frowned."What are you trying to pull..."Before he could finish, my phone rang.I stared at the caller ID silently, then walked out of the private room and closed the door behind me, cutting off Mark's probing gaze."Gloria, tomorrow is your sister's death anniversary. Mark still hasn't forgiven you after three years, and you haven't fu

"Could it be because I look a bit like April, she specifically came here to kill me?"She clung to Mark's arm in fear, tears welling up in her eyes."Mark, please make her leave. I'm scared...""Nonsense!"Seeing Wendy's manipulative act, the rage in my chest refused to subside.Losing all reason, I raised my hand and slapped Wendy hard on the face.Mark's bodyguards instantly pinned me to the ground.I looked up at him in shock.Mark's face was grim, his eyes cold as he stared at me."Wendy's not wrong. How dare you act all high and mighty before April's grave? You clearly need to be taught a lesson."He took the wooden stick handed to him by a bodyguard and brutally smashed it on my knee.The crisp sound of bone cracking echoed in the cemetery.My face turned deathly pale. I lost all strength and collapsed onto my knees in front of my sister's tombstone."You have no right to be here, you murderer!"As if venting his anger, Mark repeatedly smashed the wooden stick on my

He spat out those harsh words, then pushed past my shoulder and left.The house fell silent once more.After I hastily performed some first aid, I heard a knock at the door.An unsigned parcel, addressed specifically to me.When I opened it, I saw a pregnancy test stick and a prenatal check-up notice inside.My fingers trembled slightly as I picked up the pregnancy test stick. The two red lines stung my eyes.Soon after, I received a text from Wendy."Miss Hale, did you get the present?""If you touch Mark, he'll feel disgusted for three days, but when he's intimate with me, he's as passionate as fire.""You're supposed to be the one who looks most like April, yet how come even as a substitute, you can't compare to me?"I was in a daze for a long time. Pain spread from my fingertips to my heart, and tears dripped onto the notice, blurring the name on the paper that wasn't mine.I had begged Mark for three years, loved him for three years.At that moment, my love died, along

The divorce papers lay coldly before Mark.His breath hitched, then he let out a cold chuckle. He decisively took the pen I offered him."Good, at least you know your place. All these years, you've just been clinging to me. It's honestly sickening."You think I'd be scared to sign this? I can't wait to get rid of you!"Mark spat out those harsh words as he signed the divorce papers. He pressed so hard it felt like the pen would pierce through the paper.He flung the pen down, his fingers trembling at his sides.Wendy couldn't hide the sheer delight on her face when Mark signed. She gripped Mark's hand tightly, her voice brimming with excitement."Mark, I can now stand by your side openly and honorably."I looked at the two of them, who had different expressions on their faces, and stood up."Linda, I failed to keep my promise to you from three years ago, but don't worry, I won't interfere with Mark's affairs ever again."Linda seemed pleased with my reply. She glanced at the

That was why I made a deal with Linda.She gave me three years. If I could get pregnant with Mark's baby, then the marriage to Jenny Sanderson would be called off.After I confirmed it, Mark completely lost all his strength and slumped into his chair."I don't want to marry an old hag! Mom, you're actually sacrificing me for the family business!"Mark furiously pounded the table with his fists, again and again. But this defiance, in Linda's eyes, was nothing short of an insult to her dignity.She spoke in a chilling tone, "I've already given my word to Jenny. If it wasn't for Gloria, you would have had to marry her three years ago! Now, you have no choice."Mark was at a loss. He looked at me, then at Wendy. He grabbed Wendy's sleeve."I'll marry you! Let's elope! There's no way I'm marrying that old hag!"This move struck Linda as incredibly funny. She tossed a black bank card onto the table in front of Wendy."There's $2 million in this card. Take it and disappear. You can g

My sister and I were twins, yet I had no company shares nor any hope of inheriting the company.Therefore, my parents naturally assumed I killed my own sister just to get my hands on the family assets.I let out a long sigh."Mr. and Mrs. Hale, the police already investigated the accident thoroughly three years ago. There's plenty of evidence to prove I'm not a murderer. I almost didn't make it out alive that day either. What more do you want from me?"I no longer held even a shred of delusion in my parents, and I stopped trying to explain myself desperately like I used to.They froze for a second, clearly not expecting me to change how I addressed them. My mother was the first to react, pursing her lips."You might have bribed someone to fabricate the evidence. You think by getting injured yourself, we'll sympathize with you and not suspect you? Why would a perfectly fine car skid for no reason? Someone must have tampered with it!"I didn't even want to spare them another glanc

Chapter 8

Even Mark, who was locked up in the Zeller family estate, suffered online bullying."Word on the street is, Mark Zeller will be marrying Jenny Sanderson. Who'd have thought that after divorcing Gloria, he'd end up marrying a 70-year-old woman who's been married three times?""Didn't he spread the rumor that Gloria was the killer in the first place? Well, what goes around comes around."Some time after the truth was revealed, Mark escaped from the Zeller family estate.Braving heavy rain, he knocked on my door all night.I was so annoyed that I finally opened the door.His eyes were red and swollen, and his cheekbones protruded sharply from starvation due to his hunger strike. He looked terrible."I'm sorry, Gloria, I didn't know the truth. Why didn't you tell me?"He wiped away his tears of regret, but still couldn't help but question me."I did tell you, but you were unwilling to listen."On our wedding day, I already explained that I never killed anyone.I tried desperatel
