Chapter 1

"I told you I'm with Grayson. Stop making a scene," Stephanie Chelle snapped.After the call ended, I looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already past midnight.I blew out the candles on the cake and dumped every carefully prepared dish into the trash.Today was my wedding anniversary with Stephanie. I had started early, pouring my heart into a whole table of food while I waited for her to come home.She had promised me she would be back. Yet there was still no sign of her.I knew Stephanie had only married me out of spite. She had never loved me.It just hadn't been so obvious before Grayson Knapp came back from abroad.But ever since he returned, everything had changed.Stephanie started staying out night after night. Even when she did come home, it was only to grab clothes or documents.I tried talking to her, but she wouldn't listen. She would even tear into me for Grayson's sake.When I stepped out of the shower, I found Stephanie sitting on the couch. I had no id

Stephanie said it with such righteous conviction, as if all of this were my fault.She seemed worried I would keep pestering her. "That's enough. I need to get back and take care of Grayson. Hurry up, sign it, and send it over."With that, she left without sparing me another glance.I sat on the couch, staring blankly into the distance.Suddenly, a message notification snapped me out of my thoughts.I looked down and saw that it was from Grayson.I opened it. It was a picture.Grayson and a woman were holding each other sweetly, taking a selfie in front of a mirror.The phone blocked the woman's face, but I still recognized Stephanie at a glance.The moment I finished looking at it, the photo was unsent.Right after came an apology from Grayson.Grayson: [So sorry, Howard. I sent the wrong picture.]Grayson had waited that long to unsend it. He definitely wanted me to see it.I didn't reply. I just backed out of the chat, only to see a notification that Stephanie had made

Chapter 3

Even I was moved by that, let alone Grayson.I heard the sound of kissing from inside, followed by Grayson's heartfelt confession, "Stephanie, I love you."Stephanie answered, "I love you too."Just as I was debating whether to go in, a nurse's voice came from behind me."Who are you? What are you doing standing at the door?"The nurse's voice caught Stephanie and Grayson's attention.Stephanie opened the door and met my gaze head-on.Her face had been glowing with happiness, but the moment she saw me, her smile vanished, replaced by a look of disgust."Howard, do you have no shame? I told you Grayson needs rest. Why have you come here to bother us?"Grayson got out of bed and walked over with a slightly unsteady gait, wearing an understanding smile. "Stephanie, Howard must have come to visit me. Don't talk to him like that."I glanced at Grayson. Other than looking a little pale, he didn't look sick at all.Especially his energy. He seemed livelier than me, and I was the on

My voice had been extremely weak at the time, but Stephanie didn't notice. She just got angrier. "Who do you think you are? Do I have to report to you about who I'm with?"With that, she hung up. When I tried calling back, she wouldn't pick up anymore.Snapping back to the present, I watched Stephanie feed Grayson and couldn't help a self-mocking smile.So Stephanie could take care of someone after all.She could cook, too.So by now, I couldn't bring myself to ask her not to divorce me anymore.Rather than keep torturing myself, I would let myself go.I looked at Stephanie, feeling unusually calm."Stephanie, I came to tell you that I agree to the divorce."The moment I said it, the System frantically chimed in, "Host, have you lost your mind?! If you sign, all that's left for you is the punishment. With my abilities, there's nothing I can do to help you."I shook my head, letting the System know my mind was made up.At worst, I would die.I never belonged in this world to

Chapter 5

Grayson was like a ray of light that lit up Stephanie's heart.After that, Stephanie was always clinging to Grayson.Once they started dating, I barely saw Stephanie anymore.Since my mission had stalled at the time, the System often punished me.Then, right before graduation, Grayson suddenly disappeared.He told Stephanie he was going abroad to study, but after that, she never heard from him again.That was when I swooped in, and one day, out of nowhere, Stephanie asked me to marry her.I had guessed even then that Stephanie was acting out of spite, just venting.But I was so happy at the time. I believed that as we spent more time together, day after day, she would surely fall in love with me.But I bet wrong.After we married, Stephanie often gave me the cold shoulder. Even when I handed her every resource I had and stepped back behind the scenes to help her become one of the business world's rising stars, it made no difference.And after Grayson suddenly came back, she

Chapter 6

I had just pulled onto the road and was waiting at a red light.Suddenly, a runaway truck shot out of my blind spot.It came barreling straight at me.An earth-shattering crash exploded in my ears, followed by excruciating pain throughout my whole body.In that instant, I felt like I was going to die.The last ten years flashed before my eyes like a slideshow.Then I lost consciousness.By the time I woke up, two weeks had passed.There was no one by my side when I opened my eyes.The doctor was surprised to see me awake. After running a battery of tests and confirming I was out of danger, he called my best friend, David Cooper, to come over.I stayed in the hospital for another two weeks. Once all my vitals had stabilized, I was discharged.On the day I was discharged, David said he'd invited a bunch of friends to the best restaurant in the city for a welcome-back party.But the moment we stepped out of the hospital doors, an unfamiliar voice rang out."Howard? What are y

Chapter 7

I was a little surprised.Looked like David was right. Stephanie really did have a hot temper.Stephanie blowing up in public humiliated Grayson.I was already prone to headaches as an aftereffect of the accident, and with Stephanie and Grayson bickering right in my ear, it only got worse. I had to lean on David just to stay on my feet.David got angry too. "Stephanie, are you done yet? Howard just recovered from a serious injury. I'm taking him home to rest."With that, David moved to lead me away.But Stephanie blocked our way again.Now I was genuinely angry. "Are you ever going to stop?"Stephanie's eyes darkened. In the silence, she spoke up, "Since you say you don't remember anything, then come to our wedding. I didn't bring an invitation today. I'll send one over later."I readily agreed, "Sure."Seeing me agree, Stephanie looked even worse.I clicked my tongue and pointed out, "You look terrible. Maybe you should go get checked out."But Stephanie seemed to think I

Chapter 8

I was just congratulating her on her wedding, and here Stephanie was, making a scene. What on earth was she doing?The groom on stage looked a little awkward and hissed under his breath, "Stephanie! Stop messing around!"Charles also tried to talk her down, and only then did Stephanie let the ceremony go on.The officiant had weathered plenty of chaos in his day. He didn't panic at all and calmly started the ceremony.The first part went smoothly, right up until the exchange of rings.The little ring bearer had just brought the rings up when the power suddenly cut out.But the lights came back on after only a few seconds.Just as the officiant was about to continue, the couple's photo on the screen suddenly went black.A sleazy man's voice came through the speakers."Grayson, are you sure nobody's going to find out about this? The Chelle family has some serious pull in Crestfield."Then came Grayson's voice."Relax. If we both keep quiet about it, nobody's going to find out.

Chapter 9

David shook his head. "I honestly have no idea who hates Stephanie and Grayson this much. But I guess it counts as getting revenge for you."Stephanie was so furious that she slapped Grayson several more times until she ran out of strength and slumped to the floor."Stephanie, you have to believe me! How could I ever betray you? We had something so beautiful back then; have you forgotten? It must be Howard... Yes, Howard must have set me up on purpose." As he spoke, Grayson pointed at me.I pointed at myself too, a little surprised.What? I was only here for the show. What did any of this have to do with me?Stephanie looked at me as well, but her eyes were filled with endless regret.I walked out of the church, and a car pulled up beside me.The window slowly rolled down. When I got a clear look at the woman in the back seat, I was a little surprised."Paige Anders?"She had been our class representative in college. After graduation, she went abroad, and we hadn't seen each

Chapter 10

Stephanie started crying again as she spoke, tears streaming down her face so delicately that anyone else who saw her would probably have felt sorry for her.But I felt nothing. If anything, I felt a little irritated.All the noise was giving me a headache, and I raised my voice without meaning to. "It's impossible. We're divorced. How are we supposed to go back to how things used to be? Stop dreaming."Stephanie didn't believe me. She pushed past me into the house, trying to find any trace of evidence that I loved her.I had bought this house before we married. Stephanie had always looked down on it.When I came back here after being discharged, the place had indeed been full of evidence that I loved Stephanie.But I had thrown them all into the trash long ago.Suddenly, Stephanie seemed to spot something. She rushed over to the coffee table, picked up the preserved flowers, and shouted at me excitedly, "Look, you kept the flowers I gave you! You still love me, don't you?"M
