Chapter 1

Luther Tanner sighed. "I've let you down. I couldn't keep you by my side, so the only thing I could do was raise our child myself."Monica Spencer shook her head. "You've done more than enough. To secure Sean's inheritance rights, you even sent away the daughter you had with Clara. You've suffered more than I have. Once the surgery is over, I'll leave. We've already done Clara wrong by seeing each other today."He tightened his grip on her hand and gently brushed her hair back. "We were never meant to be. Clara has always stood between us. But if we ever meet again in our next lives, I promise to marry you."He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her passionately. She struggled for a moment before giving in, tears welling in her eyes as she kissed him back.The love on Luther's face looked all too genuine.Clara Jones felt like barbed wire was slowly tightening around her heart, each twist digging deeper than the last. They were the two most important people in her life, yet no

Chapter 2

Clara looked up at Luther, her expression calm. "Not busy keeping your little mistress company anymore?"As soon as those words left her mouth, Monica, who had just rushed over, turned pale with panic. She pulled Clara aside and dropped to her knees."Clara, it's all my fault. I'm the one to blame. Please don't hold it against Luther. I was the one who seduced him."Luther frowned and shoved Clara aside, pulling Monica into his arms. "Don't take this out on her. Monica stayed away from me for three whole years just so you wouldn't have to suffer. She could only catch glimpses of her own son through your social media posts. She's had it hard enough already."He had already decided Clara was deliberately making things difficult for Monica, even before she could say a word. She swung her hand and slapped him across the face."She can't see her son because she's a mistress who gave birth to a bastard! What about me, then? What about my child and me?"Monica burst into even louder sob

Chapter 3

Orphanage? Did Luther send her daughter to an orphanage?When Clara rushed into the hospital, only Luther remained outside the blood collection room. Through the glass door, she saw a girl who looked remarkably like her lying obediently on the hospital bed.That was Niamh Tanner. A long, thick needle was being driven into her spinal cord.Clara's lips quivered. It took her several seconds to find her voice. "Luther… are you even human? She's too little to endure a procedure this serious!"She tried to rush in and take Niamh away, but Luther swiftly held her back."Sean and Niamh are both my children. They're siblings by blood. Don't worry, Clara. I'll make it up to you and Niamh someday. I'll let her stay by your side, and we can finally live together as a proper family."Clara turned to him with bloodshot eyes, her voice breaking into a desperate cry."You abandoned her at an orphanage for five years! I don't need you to make up for anything! If you love Monica and her son so m

Chapter 4

Immediately, Clara rushed into the hospital room and pulled Sean away from Niamh. "How could you do that to your little sister?"Sean promptly threw himself onto the floor and pointed at Niamh, screaming at the top of his lungs, "She's not my sister! She's your bastard child! My cupcakes are missing, so she must've stolen them! She's a bad kid nobody wanted at the orphanage!"Monica hurried over after them. "Clara, kids are always fighting and roughhousing. It's perfectly normal. You're scaring Sean."Clara checked on Niamh, who was trembling with hurt and indignation, too scared to even cry out loud."Sean is too young to know how to say things like that. I can only imagine what you've been teaching him over the last few days."Monica caught sight of Luther approaching the doorway and immediately choked out a sob. "Clara, I know you're upset, but you can't take it out on Sean! Please just leave him alone, okay? I'm sorry. This is all my fault…"Luther took in the scene the secon

Clara stiffened and turned to see Luther standing in the doorway, holding a bag of toys."Stop making a fuss, Clara. Every time we fight, you threaten to leave. You can't teach our daughter such a bad habit. Once Sean is all better, it'd be nice for all of us to live together."The way he said it was as casual as discussing dinner plans.Clara found it laughable. What made him think she would still be willing to accept his mistress and their child?Luther strode over and stuffed the bag into Niamh's hands. "I do love you. Look, I got you a present."It was a high-end toy brand sold at luxury stores in Saturne. Clara had bought plenty of its toys for Sean over the years. She recognized immediately that Niamh had received a free gift.Clara smiled mockingly to herself. Perhaps she had grown used to it by now.She was used to Luther constantly claiming to love her while carrying on with Monica behind her back. She was used to him wanting to make it up to Niamh, only to toss her a f

Luther rushed over and gathered Monica into his arms. "Monica was telling me how sorry she felt toward you last night. She even said she wanted to leave once Sean was discharged. And instead of being grateful, you keep hurting her over and over again!"Blood trickled from Monica's temple as she reached out toward Clara. "Clara's my best friend. I'm not in pain, really. I'm fine!"Clara watched her performance in silence, then burst out laughing. How absurd that she had loved such a blind fool for over a decade?"Keep putting on your little show."She had barely turned around when Luther's furious voice rang out behind her. "You think you can just walk away after hurting Monica? I'll make you pay ten times over!"Luther summoned his bodyguards and ordered them to pin her to the ground. "Ten bottles. Make sure each one gets used."One of the bodyguards grabbed a soda bottle and smashed it against Clara's head. The glass shattered, and blood began pouring from the wound.As Luther

Chapter 7

Luther stood outside the operating room, feeling an inexplicable wave of irritation.The doctor had assured him that Sean's surgery had gone smoothly and that all they needed to do was keep him under observation. Somehow, he still couldn't shake the unease gnawing at him.Years ago, Luther had stood in this very spot, waiting for Clara to give birth while he arranged to have their baby switched with another child.When Niamh was carried out, he hadn't dared to look at her for too long. He was afraid he might grow attached and be unable to let her go.Now that Sean was saved, he thought he could finally make it up to Niamh. He would turn the room on the second floor into a princess-themed bedroom for her."Luther, what's on your mind? Still worried about Sean? The doctor said the surgery went well."Monica appeared behind him and affectionately slipped her arm through Luther's. His body stiffened slightly, and he instinctively looked past her."You went to see Clara, didn't you?

Chapter 8

At the airport, Luther sat in the waiting lounge, staring absently at the clouds outside the window. Seven hours had passed between deciding to go on the trip and finally heading to the airport.He checked his phone several times, but there wasn't a single message from Clara. Finally, he turned his phone face down on the table and rubbed his face irritably.A plane roared as it took off outside. Luther looked toward the distant horizon. The aircraft cut through the clouds, leaving a long trail behind it.It felt as though something had cut through his heart as well, leaving behind a strange sense of unease tingling through him.Seeing him lost in thought, Monica stepped forward and linked her arm through his. "It's time to board, Luther. We're finally going on our honeymoon."For some reason, looking at Monica reminded him of the pale Clara lying in the hospital bed.Back when they were poor, all they could afford for their wedding was a veil they bought online for a few bucks. T

Chapter 9

Luther spent a few lackluster days on the island with Monica before impatiently rushing back to Saturne. Before leaving, he even bought a pile of gifts to bring home.Seeing how expensive they were, Monica assumed they were for Sean. To her surprise, they were all for Niamh."I've spent years raising a son and never even learned how to pick gifts for a daughter. I got her the wrong present last time. She must've been upset. Monica, take a look at this. Do you think she'll like these?"Luther's excitement made Monica clench her fingers so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Still, she kept smiling. "She'll love them."The moment they landed, Luther headed straight for the villa. He had been gone for days. Surely, Clara's anger had subsided by now. She should be waiting for him at home.To make up for everything, he had even bought Clara a sapphire necklace from an antique shop on the island. He remembered how she had looked enviously at the necklace a female character had worn

Chapter 10

Yet another nightmare haunted Clara. She was clutching Niamh in her arms, running down that endless corridor that led nowhere.No matter how desperately she screamed and begged for help, nobody opened the door for her.Suddenly, Niamh opened her eyes and stared straight at her. "Mommy, it hurts. Mommy, why didn't you save me? Mommy, why did you abandon me? Why did you leave me behind? I hate you! I hate you!"Clara jolted upright, cold sweat running down her face. She looked around and finally realized she was in Astonia, at Colin's hillside villa.Hearing the noise from her room, Colin gently knocked on the door. "Are you alright, Clara? Another nightmare?"His cool, composed voice somewhat calmed her trembling body. She got out of bed and opened the door. "Sorry. I just… had a nightmare. I was back on the day Niamh died."Clara noticed Colin was wearing a shirt and had a Bluetooth earpiece in his ear. She figured he was in the middle of a video conference."I'm fine now. You s
