The Day His Unrecognized Wife Walked Away のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The gang leader let out a low whistle, tossed his phone onto a crate, and smirked at Seraphina. "Well, well. Since that husband of yours doesn’t care about you," he sneered, stepping closer. “Then, forget that cold bastard. Become my woman instead. I might actually treat you nice."He reached for her chin. But before his fingers could touch her skin, Seraphina grabbed his wrist, twisted it sharply, and drove a powerful kick straight into his chest. He crashed onto the concrete with a dull thud.The other four goons lunged.Seraphina ducked under a wild swing and smashed her elbow into the first man's jaw. A second goon tackled her from behind, slamming her to the floor. Pain flared across her knee as it scraped the rough ground, but she ignored it. She locked her legs around his neck, flipped him onto his back, and struck his temple until he went limp.The third man swung a metal pipe. It grazed her forearm, leaving a throbbing bruise. She stepped inside his guard, drove a palm strike

[Seven Days Earlier]A week ago, Seraphina and Alexander finally tied the knot. It was a long-awaited moment for Seraphina, who had loved him secretly for years.Alexander wasn't able to attend the registrar's office, but he signed the papers so the process went through successfully, making them officially Mr. and Mrs. Thorne. Given how sudden the arrangement was, Seraphina didn't mind skipping a big wedding ceremony. That could wait. All she really wanted was to grow closer to Alexander.Eager to fulfill her role as his wife, she had excitedly headed to Grandma Eleonor's study that day to meet him, only to hear his cold, dismissive words through the door."My wife?" Alexander had sneered through the door. "Grandma, have you forgotten why I agreed to this arrangement? It was to secure the company, not to pamper a fake wife."Seraphina froze. A fake wife. That was all she was to Alexander Thorne. Hearing Alexander dismiss their marriage as a mere business agreement felt like a dagge

Alexander tried to calm down after his call to his grandmother. Leaning back against the headrest, he stared absently into the busy night. His distant look gradually softened as a vivid memory pulled him back to last month when he went abroad.THUD!A violent kick burst open the heavy storage room doors."There you are, you damn brat!" a gang leader snarled, stepping inside with a heavy iron pipe resting over his shoulder.Alexander Thorne was having the worst day of his life. Trained in brutal combat since childhood, he rarely needed protection. But that afternoon at Aurelius University, where he was completing an intensive executive leadership program, he was trapped inside a clunky, rigid tactical sensor suit for an upcoming corporate trade deal simulation.The heavy equipment completely restricted his movement. He had stepped in to save a younger student, and now, the gang had cornered him inside the isolated room. He was immobilized and furious.Seraphina had also been at the u

She couldn't bring herself to blame Alexander for tending to a sick puppy. She had a soft spot for animals too. In fact, she had once reluctantly given away a pet she rescued abroad, unable to keep it herself. Still, it hurt. She had poured her heart into cooking tonight's meal, yet he couldn't even bother to call and say he wasn't coming home._Meanwhile, Alexander stood inside the private suite of the Apex Veterinary Center, the high-end veterinary facility in Valerius. A tiny golden retriever puppy lay on the vet bed, its breathing shallow and weak. Alexander’s chest tightened with anxiety.This wasn't just any pet. This puppy was a priceless connection to his savior, entrusted directly to his care.The door opened, and Caleb Brown stepped in. Aside from being Alexander’s close friend, Caleb was one of the top veterinary surgeons in the country."How is he, Caleb?" Alexander asked instantly, his voice unusually tense. "Is he going to make it?"Caleb sighed in relief. "He’s stabl

Seraphina came downstairs the moment she heard Alexander’s car arrive. She had wanted to talk to him, but seeing his pale face, she knew something was terribly wrong.On the verge of passing out from the pain, Alexander slumped against Seraphina, forcing her to hold him up in what looked almost like an embrace. Her heart beat wildly at the sudden closeness, but pushing the sensation aside, she quickly forced herself to focus.Her eyes narrowed as she took in his grey complexion, his rapid, shallow breathing, and his defensive posture. She gently pressed his stomach, rapidly assessing which area was causing him pain."His body is in shock from a severe stomach inflammation," Seraphina said, taking control with a calm, practiced authority that left Maria speechless. "Help me get him onto the sofa. There's no time to wait for an ambulance."Working together, they managed to lay Alexander's heavy frame onto the sofa. He was barely conscious, groaning in sheer agony as his body curled inw
