Chapter 1

Marilyn Cortell grabbed at her hair in frustration. "Didn't I already explain to you that what I said back then was in the heat of the moment? Do you seriously have to cling to that matter and refuse to let it go?"Instead of answering, I simply stared at her quietly.At that moment, my phone suddenly rang, causing me to instinctively look down at it.However, Marily seized my hand and cooed in an unusually sweet tone, "Is a phone call more important than me? Could it be that you have another woman on the side?"I suddenly found her words rather ridiculous. "Shouldn't you know just why I'm so anxious when I hear a phone call?"Marilyn was briefly silent. "What happened with your mother was an accident. Neither of us wanted that to happen. Besides, I'm already keeping my distance from Henry now. Still, he and I are in the same band, so…"I finished her sentence in my mind, "So it's impossible for us to not contact each other at all. Can't you be more understanding of my situation?

I blinked in confusion and shot her a bewildered look. "Didn't you say it yourself? It's necessary for your career."Immediately, Marilyn looked like she had been doused with cold water. An expression of utter defeat crossed her face."Shane, please teach me how we can go back to how we were before?"She cuddled up against my chest.The perfume she wore wafted into my nose, the scent that was once wonderful to me now striking me as cloying and irritating.I said, "Our life is also fine right now, just as it is."She opened her mouth, about to say something, but then her phone rang."Mari, I'm waiting for you at Blackwater Bridge. I'll jump if you don't come!" Henry's drunken voice blared over the speakers.Marilyn glanced at me hesitantly, her grip on her phone so tight that her fingers had gone pale.I spoke up first. "See? You should've called Henry to come over earlier. Hurry up and go, or the paparazzi are going to have a field day and come up with a nonsensical scandal ag

Chapter 3

The news about Marilyn and Henry joining a dating reality show spread like wildfire. Their fans were ecstatic, happily gushing about how their favorite couple was actually coming true.On the heels of that was slander from their haters, though. They deliberately pointed out that Marilyn hadn't been posting any intimate photos with Henry recently and said that she was, in reality, not on good terms with him.I read all these posts, somewhat exasperated.Just as I was about to clarify things, I received a notification that the official account Marilyn shared with Henry had posted something new.It was a collage of their intimate photos, captioned with the words, "Official announcement."I liked the post, all while feeling grateful that I wouldn't need to rack my brain for a way to clear up the situation.The next second, Marily pushed open the door to my office, her face twisted into a panicked expression."That upload was just in response to that trending post! Please don't misun

I had only just returned home from the cemetery when Henry helped a drunk Marilyn into the house.When he spotted me, he quirked a brow and said in a challenging tone, "Mari is exhausted, so I—"I swiftly cut him off before he could finish speaking. "Help her into the room. Her pajamas are in the closet."With that, I took my own pajamas and headed for the bathroom.Once, I drank so much that I ended up with alcohol poisoning. Ever since, even the smell of alcohol has been enough to make me nauseous.Now that there was someone else to take care of Marilyn on my behalf, I was more than happy to let Henry deal with her.When I exited the bathroom, Henry was busy making some honey water.I simply glanced at him before retiring to my bedroom to sleep.The next day, I woke up to find Marilyn sitting in the living room, her face twisted with anxiety and nervousness."Shane, I had too much to drink last night. Henry was just too worried about me, and that's why he brought me back hom

Immediately, Marilyn went pale as she leaped to her feet."What did you say?" She rushed over and seized the secretary's hand. "Shane is resigning?"Her extreme response wasn't that surprising. After all, no matter how serious our arguments used to get, I had never once mentioned resigning, not even when I had threatened to divorce her. That was because I knew that becoming a singer had always been Marilyn's dream."Did he mention anything else other than his intention to resign?"Marilyn's aggression scared the poor secretary, who stammered, "N-No…"Hearing that, Marilyn breathed a sigh of relief, while Henry clicked his tongue in displeasure."Shane is truly too much. He clearly knows that the band is currently embroiled in a nasty scandal, yet he still chooses this moment to throw a tantrum. Mari, you shouldn't spoil him so much. If you ask me, this is probably yet another new game he's playing. Besides, setting aside everything else, how could he possibly pay for the breach o

Stunned, Marilyn muttered to herself, "It looks like you've been planning this for a while now."It wasn't until she once again returned home that she finally noticed the divorce agreement I had left on the table.I had already signed it.Taking out her phone, she stubbornly sent me a slew of messages."Shane, I want to eat the barbecued chicken wings you make. When are you coming back?"In the past, anytime she made a request, I would immediately return home no matter what I was doing.However, this time, she waited through the entire afternoon until day turned to night, yet there was still no sign of me.Marilyn gazed out the window at the night sky. Suddenly, she realized that this must be how I had waited at home for her previously whenever she was out with Henry."So, this is how terrible it feels to wait for someone."At that moment, a notification popped up on her phone."The account you follow, Henry Solon, started a livestream one minute ago."After a brief moment o

Chapter 7

Marilyn's tone was stubborn and left no room for argument.I had heard these same words on the day after Mom passed away.At the time, I had been feeling dead inside, so I had brought up a divorce.However, Marilyn had refused before reminding me about the substantial penalty I would have to pay for breaking the contract."Shane! Shane Kinsley!"Dragging my mind back to the present, I hummed softly before saying, "I'm serious this time. If you won't sign the papers, we'll take this matter to court."It seemed like Marilyn hadn't expected me to be this insistent and stand firm in my decision. She attempted to use the same trick again."But the penalty for breaking the contract—""Marilyn Cortell, I've already handed in my resignation letter, so I'll definitely think of a way to deal with the penalty."There was nothing but silence on the other end of the line for a good long while.Glancing at the time, I spoke up. "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up.""Shane Kinsley, st

I paused in surprise. "A psychologist?"Cassandra straightened and looked at me earnestly. "Shane, haven't you realized that there's something off with you? Ever since I saw you at the airport, I've sensed that you've changed. To put it simply, right now, you're living like a shell of yourself."It took me a long time to digest what she was implying, during which she kept silent, giving me space.As the car finally came to a stop, she shot me a worried glance.Slowly releasing a breath, I returned her gaze and uttered sincerely, "Thank you, Cassandra."Only then did Cassandra relax. "Go on, then. I'll be waiting for you here."I wanted to tell her to leave first, but when I opened my mouth, the words couldn't seem to come.Actually seeing a psychologist myself was not much different from what I had read online.I looked down at the medical report that diagnosed me as having moderate depressive disorder, realizing that this was exactly as I had expected.Previously, I had found

Chapter 9

When Marilyn received news that someone had helped me pay off the penalty fee, she kept pestering Andy about it, demanding to know who it was.Andy shook his head, but at her persistence, he finally told her."It's Cassandra Sandler."Marilyn was somewhat stunned. She couldn't figure out when I had ever crossed paths with Cassandra.Off to the side, Henry said in a mocking tone, "No wonder he was so adamant about leaving. Turns out, he's already gotten together with another woman! Mari, you really wasted your time feeling sad over him. How could someone like Shane—""Shut up!" Marilyn yelled furiously.Henry wasn't exactly a doormat and had a fiery temper of his own. Yanking Marilyn to her feet, he snapped harshly, "Marilyn, Shane is gone. He's left you for another woman. Wake up! Right now, I'm the only one you have left by your side!"Marilyn yanked herself free. "This is all your fault! Shane only left me because of you! You stay away from me!"With that, she stormed off, sl

Chapter 10

Marilyn kept calling me, over and over again.With a signal from Cassandra, I picked up and put the call on loudspeaker.Marilyn's voice came over the line, sounding choked with tears. "Shane, can you come back now that you've finished venting your anger?"I had thought that she would be confronting me about my Twitter post."Marilyn, have you signed the divorce agreement yet?"She was silent for several long seconds. "Are you really going to be this cruel?"I was cruel? Was she not cruel when she flirted and was all intimate with Henry while still being married to me?"I've already told you this countless times. There's no way we can go back to how we were before."Unwilling to continue this topic, Marilyn hastily ended the call. She seemed to think that, as long as we weren't divorced, she still had a chance of winning me back.However, I no longer wanted to drag this matter on.I asked, "Can you introduce me to a lawyer?"Cassandra instantly called the studio's legal team
