Chapter 1

I had just put down the remote when my husband, Christian Falkner, walked into the bedroom. He picked it up and smiled."Why did you turn off the TV? You love watching the local news."He turned the TV back on. On the screen was footage of him hugging Sheryl Jensen outside a hotel.The host said excitedly, "Christian Falkner, the Falkner family's heir, and Sheryl Jensen, daughter of the Jensen family, were spotted together at a hotel. "Photos of the two embracing have quickly become the talk of the town."As they're from two of the country's most powerful business families, a union between them could undoubtedly make headlines across the business world."With a sharp click, Christian turned off the TV. His face darkened as he pulled off his tie."The media is just making things up," he said. "The Jensen family held a business party last night. Sheryl drank on my behalf and got a little tipsy, so I took her to the hotel to rest."For once, he actually set aside his pride and pa

I barely made it onto the morning flight. After we took off, a flight attendant came by with a drink cart and handed me a small gift box.Inside was a commemorative pin engraved with the Falkner family crest.As I looked at it, I remembered the wedding that made headlines across the Edarian continent a few months earlier.Christian and I had been secretly married for six years. After one terrible argument, we got divorced, only to remarry not long ago.This time, he chose to make our marriage public.Our billion-dollar wedding had made headlines across Seronia.Falkner Group had even prepared 100 thousand wedding souvenirs to give away around the world.I stared at the commemorative pin in my hand, lost in thought.Christian and I had spent seven years together. So, how did we end up here?At the time, he hadn't secured his position in his family yet, so we chose to keep our marriage a secret.Back then, he treated me with such tenderness. He made breakfast for me himself and

The first month after my divorce from Christian was rough.Life without him was much harder than I had imagined.I had gotten used to always having a message from him on my phone. Whenever anything happened, he was always the first person I thought of.On my first night alone, I sat in the empty room and didn't sleep a wink.I went through every photo on my phone.I saw pictures from our first date, the first time he took me home to meet his family, and the day we secretly got married.But the more I looked, the more it hurt. I was overcome with bitterness and resentment.For six whole years, I had given him my youth, my time, and everything else.Yet, he had abandoned me without a second thought.During the days I hid in my apartment, every time I checked my phone, I saw another news story about Christian.There were photos of him and Sheryl attending business dinners and charity events, and of them having dinner together.In every photo, Christian looked as calm and compos

After the wedding, Christian took out our divorce papers and tore it to pieces in front of me.He gazed at me with a tender expression. "Viola, you'll always be my only wife. No matter what happens, that will never change."I quietly looked at the pieces of paper scattered across the floor. It stirred nothing within me, and I simply nodded.Christian looked at me with a hint of concern in his eyes. He gently brushed his fingers over my cheek."You've suffered out there," he said. "You were struggling so much, yet you were too stubborn to admit you needed help."Don't you understand me by now? If you weren't so hardheaded, you wouldn't have had to go through all that."I turned my head slightly to avoid his touch, and his hand stopped in midair. Christian paused, looking at me in surprise.I looked up and said evenly, "I'm tired. I just want to get some sleep."That night, I slept more peacefully than I had in a long time.When I woke up and went downstairs, Carla Grant, the ho

When Christian told me to come home early that evening, he didn't suspect anything.After all, he thought he had already worn me down. I was docile and obedient, with none of my old defiance left. He never thought I would lose my temper and walk away from him again.Then he remembered Sheryl had said that she wasn't feeling well on the phone, so he drove straight to her place.As soon as he walked in, he saw Sheryl looking pale and frail.When she noticed Christian, she spoke softly, sounding weak and vulnerable."Christian, I haven't been well at all today. My head has been foggy, and I've felt awful today."Seeing how worn out she looked, Christian gently asked, "What's bothering you? I'll take you to the hospital and have you checked out."Sheryl gently shook her head and quietly tugged at his sleeve. "No, it's okay. I just took some medicine. I'm feeling much better."She lowered her gaze slightly, her voice tentative and hopeful. "I'm just bored being here alone. Could you

The next morning, Christian woke up to find the room still empty. His expression was dark, and his growing frustration was impossible to suppress.When he left the bedroom, he told Carla coldly, "If Viola comes back, tell me immediately. Don't keep me waiting."Carla quickly nodded.Christian said nothing more and left for work, his expression grim.He was distracted all day. In the conference room, the senior executives went over their reports. All of them looked at him, waiting for his decisions.But Christian sat there clutching his phone, staring at the dark screen and waiting for a message from me.He thought I wouldn't last long. Once morning came, I would contact him myself, come home, and admit I was wrong.But the entire morning passed without a single message or phone call from me.He didn't hear a single word of the reports or anything anyone said around him. His mind was somewhere else entirely.From beside him, Sheryl watched his composure slip.She leaned toward

Word of Christian and Sheryl's engagement spread across the business world overnight.Everyone wondered if I would make it back in time to stop the engagement.Christian's father, Charles Falkner, soon heard about the news. He immediately called Christian, sounding furious. "Christian, what the hell are you doing?"You remarried Viola not long ago. Now you're throwing an engagement party with Sheryl? You're treating marriage like a joke and humiliating our family!"Even as Charles scolded him, Christian remained calm and composed. "I know what I'm doing. I've given Viola two weeks. "If she comes back before the engagement party, I'll cancel everything with Sheryl. Sheryl knows about it too."After hearing that, Charles grew even angrier. "You're being ridiculous! If this goes wrong, you'll destroy our relationship with Jensen Group. "We could lose all our business deals with them, and our company would take a serious hit. Call off the engagement immediately!"Christian rema

Christian froze, and his mind went blank.After a long silence, one terrible thought filled his mind.Panic took over. He immediately assumed the worst, thinking I was dead.It never crossed his mind that I would leave him for good.In his arrogant, stubborn mind, I had neither the courage nor the means to walk away from him unless I was dead.He never believed that one day, I would have had enough and quietly walk away from everything.In that moment, all his schemes, victories, power, and pride meant nothing.Faced with the possibility of losing me forever, Christian finally realized that he couldn't bear the thought of living without me.He ordered his people to keep searching for me. They had to find me, dead or alive.After that, Christian completely fell apart.He had lost his position as heir and ruined the family's business ties. He spent his days locked inside the empty villa.He stopped working and shut everyone out, drowning himself in alcohol to numb the pain.H
