Chapter 1

When Nora Hayes, my fiancee, went to get the ninth form, I left.I got into the car and waited for half an hour before she finally came out. The moment she opened the door, she sounded half annoyed, half apologetic. "Nathan, why didn't you wait for me? I've been under so much pressure lately. I just… accidentally wrote the wrong name a few times."I gave her a bitter smile. "Take me to the hospital. Ryan's waiting for me there." This time, she didn't make me wait another half hour. "Okay," she said immediately. She probably didn't even realize it, but the moment she heard Ryan Bennett's name, the corners of her lips lifted into an unmistakable smile. Once we were on the road, Nora connected her phone to the car's Bluetooth. An unfamiliar, upbeat song suddenly blasted through the speakers. It was exactly the kind of music Ryan liked. The first time Nora had heard his playlist, she'd scrunched up her nose and complained, "It's so loud." Now, without me even realizing it,

The next day, Nora's mother, Mia Williams, showed up at my door with a thermal food container. The moment she saw me, she handed it over, her eyes already red with worry. "Poor kid. You've been through so much." I nodded and thanked her. Nora hurried into the kitchen to get a bowl for me.When Mia opened the container, the smell of fish immediately hit me. "I've had this stew with Ryan a few times," Mia said. "It's really flavorful. You should try some." A few times? I immediately latched onto that. It meant Nora and Ryan had been seeing each other in secret more than once. It seemed Nora had brought him home behind my back—maybe while I was in the hospital, or perhaps even earlier, back when she'd been telling me she was working late while I was left to handle the wedding arrangements alone. Something tightened around my heart, and it hurt. I looked at Nora as she carried the bowl over. She set it down in front of me with a small smile. "Give it a try." The smile

Chapter 3

That night, I tossed and turned in my sleep, trapped in a dream that seemed to last forever. In it, our entire apartment building had collapsed, and Ryan was still a teenager. His eyes were red and swollen as he wrapped his arms around me and sobbed, "Nathan, I don't have Mom or Dad anymore. You're the only person I have." I couldn't speak. I could only choke back my own sobs as I stepped forward and held him tightly. An earthquake had taken our home and our parents. After that, we only had each other. We leaned on one another through high school and college, doing whatever we could to survive. When I accepted a job offer and moved to Bayview, I met Nora. Three years later, when Nora and I decided to get married, Ryan went quiet for a moment on the phone. When he finally spoke, his voice was hoarse. "Either way, I'm coming over. I need to meet her in person. If she ever treats you badly, she'll have to answer to me." He stayed at my place for three months after he arrive

Glass shards flew in every direction. They sliced across my face, my hands, and my legs. But those wounds were nothing compared to the wound in my heart. With each blow, my face in the photograph shattered into pieces, just like the tiny life that had once been crushed inside her. The image was torn apart until it was barely recognizable. That night, I took the hammer to everything in the house, smashing it all to pieces. The following evening, Nora finally came home. She stopped when she saw the destruction covering the floor. Perhaps she felt guilty, because instead of getting angry, she quietly brought over the first-aid kit, knelt beside me, and began bandaging my wounds. When she finished, she looked up at me and said, "Nathan, why don't we go to the hospital?" I slowly turned toward her, confused. "The hospital?" She hesitated. "I'll take you to see a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist—that was what she thought was wrong with me. Before I could say anything, she con

Chapter 5

That night, Nora slept restlessly in the hospital. She couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen.Even after calling the property manager of the building where we stayed and asking him to go upstairs and check on me, Nora still couldn't put her mind at ease. She tossed and turned for hours, barely sleeping until dawn finally broke. At eight the next morning, her phone rang. Nora answered immediately. For some reason, a hint of excitement crept into her voice before she realized it. "Nathan?" "Ms. Hayes? I'm calling from the wedding planning company. Mr. Reed contacted us yesterday and said there had been a change to the groom. I just wanted to confirm—is that correct?"Nora froze. "Mr. Reed called you?""Yes." "When?""Sometime around nine or ten last night. He didn't sound like he was joking," the woman explained. Nora fell silent for a moment. She asked a few more questions, then thanked the woman and hung up. She stared at her phone, her unea

Just then, Ryan came rushing over with a bag slung over his shoulder.The moment he saw Nora, he discreetly pinched himself hard enough to make his eyes water. He wanted her to think he'd been crying. "How's Nathan?" he asked, feigning concern. Nora shook her head, clearly unwilling to talk about it, and simply sat in silence. Ryan sat beside her. He waited for a moment before finally speaking. "Several of our biggest clients have been asking when we're holding the wedding reception. Some of them have already booked their flights and made other arrangements." He hesitated, then continued, "The wedding was already postponed once because of Nathan's accident. They've already had to rearrange their schedules once. It won't be easy to ask them to change everything again." Nora remained silent for a few seconds before turning to him. "Then what do you think we should do?" Ryan clasped his hands together, watching her carefully. "Nathan is still under observation, and we don't k

Chapter 7

Nora was the head of one of Bayview's top advertising companies, so her wedding had drawn extensive media coverage.But on the day of the wedding, everything fell apart when someone suddenly exposed the groom, Ryan Bennett, as the suspected mastermind behind an attempted murder charges. The police arrived at the venue and arrested him on the spot. Chaos erupted throughout the venue, and Mia fainted. Ryan fought the officers, screaming, "Lies! You're lying! I didn't do it! Someone set me up!" The commanding officer, Marcus Parker, remained completely unfazed. He simply stared at Ryan expressionlessly. "Whether you're the mastermind or someone set you up, we'll find out once we get you to the station."Ryan froze. His pupils widened as panic flashed across his face. "What does that mean? What are you saying?" Marcus ignored him and turned his attention to Nora. Before she could even ask what was happening, Marcus pulled out his phone, played an audio recording, and held it

Chapter 8

Ryan's face went pale, but his eyes burned even redder. "I didn't steal her from you. I was taking back what was always mine. You're the one who came later!" he shouted."We both lost our parents. We both became orphans. So why do you get to have her while I'm supposed to stand by and watch you take everything? Why do I have to be the one left with nothing?"I curled my lips into a bitter smile. "So you planned two car accidents and tried to kill me?" Ryan's body trembled. But even then, he stubbornly tried to justify himself."I never meant to kill you the first time. I just couldn't stand the thought of watching you two get married. I couldn't stand the thought of you having a child with her." His voice cracked. "But then, thank God, the child was gone. And when I told Nora the truth, she didn't even blame me. That told me everything. I realized you weren't that important to her." I stared at him without saying a word. "I never planned the second accident," Ryan continued

Chapter 9

It rained constantly back home, leaving everything damp for nearly half the month, but Joshua and I were full of energy. We rented a clean little house with a courtyard, divided the space into work areas, and scrubbed the place from top to bottom. Then we set up our computers and started reaching out to our old clients. I'd spent years honing my skills at Nora's company. The clients knew my work. More importantly, they trusted me. So when word got around that I'd started my own business, they came looking for me. Joshua and I spent our days figuring out exactly what each client needed and our nights revising proposals. Once the work started piling up, time seemed to fly. Before I knew it, so much time had passed that the next time Nora crossed my mind, it felt like a lifetime had gone by. Now and then, a message from an unfamiliar number would appear on my phone. "Nathan, I miss the little orange night-light you gave me.""I asked the doctor. You're allergic to dried shrimp,
