Chapter 1

Marriage?My smile froze on my face.The video kept replaying in my head, and I forced a bitter smile."Get married? But we've only just started dating," I said.If I hadn't watched that video before my girlfriend, Vicky Donovan, asked me this question, I would probably have been over the moon by now. After all, I'd been pursuing her for years, and she'd brought up the topic of marriage on her own. This was literally everything I'd ever dreamed of.But after watching the video, the word "marriage" suddenly felt more like a death warrant to me, sending a chill straight down my spine.Vicky didn't notice anything amiss. She just snuggled up to me, wrapped her arms around my waist, and cooed, "You've been pursuing me for three years. Don't you think that we already know each other very well by now?"I only didn't accept your feelings before because I was just testing you. Now that you've passed the test, why don't we get married straightaway?"I looked at Vicky in my arms and fe

The voices wouldn't stop fighting in my head, and it was giving me a splitting headache.Just as I was about to get up and head to the bathroom to clear my head, Vicky—who had been lying next to me—suddenly got up and walked out onto the balcony.The room wasn't large, and the bed was right next to the balcony. So, even though she deliberately lowered her voice on the phone, I could still hear every word she said outside the door."Are you sure he's from a wealthy family? He sure doesn't look like it to me."Who was she talking to? And who told her about my wealthy family background?The questions kept racing through my head.In the past, I used to fall asleep the moment my head hit the pillow, so Vicky probably assumed I was already asleep when she made that call and didn't bother hiding the conversation from me.I held my breath, straining to hear the voice on the other end of the line, but to no avail. I could only hear Vicky's voice."You'd better make sure this works, or y

Vicky and I had only just graduated from college and started working about a year ago. My entire salary went toward our living expenses, while Vicky spent all of hers on clothes and bags for herself. So, we were both essentially living paycheck to paycheck.Vicky's smile froze the moment she heard what I said. There was a long pause before she finally explained, "I meant for you to buy the car, not me. We're getting married soon anyway. Why are we still drawing such a firm line between what's yours and mine?"I found it amusing as she tried to force her smile. We weren't even married yet, and she already had her eye on my money.Still, I kept a straight face and fully committed to the persona of a poor man with no extra money on the side."But Vicky, I really don't have any money for a car. Maybe we can consider taking out a loan instead, if you insist."Vicky's expression turned ice-cold when she saw I was serious and not just pulling her leg. She seemed to have lost all patien

I took a deep breath and looked at Vicky with the utmost seriousness."Fine. I'll be honest with you. But I didn't intentionally keep this a secret from you, Vicky. I just didn't really know how to bring it up."Vicky's face lit up with excitement. Her gaze burned into me as she urged me to continue speaking."The truth is, I come from a wealthy family, and I used to be rich."She exclaimed immediately, though I could see she was trying her best to keep the corners of her mouth from curling upward. Instead, she feigned shock and gave me a playful, mock-reproachful look."Why didn't you just tell me sooner?"Her tone was thick with barely concealed delight.I sighed and feigned a look of helpless resignation on my face, saying, "I just wanted to keep it low-profile. My parents did leave me quite a bit of money after they passed away."Vicky couldn't hold back her smile anymore. She grabbed my arm, her face beaming with excitement as she exclaimed, "Okay, okay! I get it, Colin. Y

"You're telling me you spent all of that money already?" Vicky asked me, forcing a semblance of composure despite her strained, awkward smile. "You're joking, right?"She looked at me desperately and hopefully, as though she were begging me to admit I was just pulling her leg.I shook my head, letting my eyes redden at just the right moment. I spoke rather aggrievedly."Don't you already know my financial situation by now? I even have to ask you to send me money to get lunch. How could I possibly have any of it left?"But hey, it's alright, yeah? As long as we work hard together, I'm sure we'll get richer one day and live a more comfortable life afterward."Uh, but in the meantime… Could you please help me pay off my debts? You're my wife now, so you'll help me, right?"I reached out to hug her as I spoke, but she shoved me away. Her face was deathly pale, and she swayed on her feet as though she were about to collapse."I need to make a call."Then, she grabbed her bag and hur

The thing was, I had never told Hugo about my family background either. So how had he found out?Vicky started complaining as soon as she sat down. "What bad luck! I thought Colin was loaded as fuck! Turns out he was just nothing but an idiot!"Hugo's voice sounded from the surveillance cameras. "That can't be right. I saw the documents about his parents' inheritance."So that was how he'd found out about it.I had simply set the document on the table when my lawyer delivered it to me, so he must have caught a glimpse of it when he came looking for me then.Suddenly, a cold chill ran down my spine. Had everything been orchestrated from the very start after all?"Yeah, he did get the inheritance, but he's already spent it all. And he's another six million dollars in debt," Vicky revealed.Hugo was shocked. "Are you sure about that? Colin's always been a very frugal person. How could he have possibly gone through all of that money at once?"Vicky clicked her tongue impatiently an

Hugo kept playing the role of the perfect supporting character, offering me advice by my side, saying things like, "You know that you can't force love to happen when it's not meant to be. Just let it go."He would work in perfect sync with Vicky and whistle the same tune. I was getting really curious about how they'd react the moment they finally learned the truth.…Either my acting was simply too good, or Vicky and Hugo were overconfident in their plans, because they both began to let their guard down completely around me. They were singularly focused on persuading me to agree to the divorce so that they could find their new target.Meanwhile, I managed to gather plenty of evidence of their criminal activities.As it turned out, they were both actually repeat offenders.Back in their school days, Vicky and Hugo had already swindled a handful of people out of their money, even though the amount involved was relatively small then. It wasn't until Hugo found me and realized I was

Hugo sounded like he was defending me, but every word he said was accusing me of sneaking into the banquet.I smiled mockingly at them. If it weren't for me, he and Vicky wouldn't even have had the chance to get close to the doors of this gala tonight. And yet, here they were, strutting around like they were the upper crust, looking down on me. "How do you know that I wasn't invited here?" I asked.Vicky immediately rolled her eyes. In a disdainful tone, she said, "Why would anyone ever think of inviting a broke-ass idiot like you? Did you think you were still a wealthy heir?"Our little exchange drew the attention of the nearby guests, who cast strange, judgemental glances our way.Hugo's expression darkened. He was extremely protective of his image, and he refused to be embarrassed in a setting like this.He grabbed my arm and tried to drag me out of the venue. "That's enough, Colin. This isn't a place for you or your antics. "Now, get out. You can find Vicky again after t

I continued, "I failed to see people for who they really were and nearly got scammed. And now, I'm exposing these people and making it public as a warning to all of you."Some people may look the part, but in reality, they're capable of nothing but the dirtiest, filthiest, and most despicable deeds ever known."Vicky and Hugo stared at the evidence displayed on the stage, completely dumbfounded. They had no idea how I could have gathered all of this.All this time, they'd been too busy pressuring me to get a divorce and lining up their next targets to even keep a guard up against me, thinking I was just a broke person who couldn't possibly stir up any more trouble for them.Hugo was the first to snap back to his senses and scramble to defend himself."Colin! We were just kidding! Besides, it's not like you've actually lost anything, have you?"I wondered where he got the audacity to say such a thing at a time like this."Just because I didn't suffer a loss doesn't mean you didn'

"Also, what I'm showing onstage here today is just a part of the evidence," I said. "The rest has already been submitted to court. You can expect to receive a court summons."Vicky realized her marriage certificate was fake when she saw Hugo's reaction. She collapsed to the ground and wailed, "Colin Atkinson! Did you really have to ruin us like this?"I couldn't fathom their way of thinking. They were the ones who had plotted against me in the first place, yet they acted as though I were the one targeting them all along."I didn't ruin you. You ruined yourselves," I said. "If you'd just lived your lives honestly, would you have ended up like this?"But Vicky refused to listen to a word I said. She just kept sobbing and begging for forgiveness. Hugo sat on the floor, glaring at me with pure malice in his eyes. It looked as though he was ready to lunge at me and take us both down together.I frowned. They really were a pair of wretched people, an absolute eyesore and nuisance to s
