Chapter 1

Wendy flipped through a couple of pages, then tore the thick rulebook to shreds right in front of the Foster family elders.She tossed the pieces into the air, scattering them all over the floor.“Seriously? Who still follows this kind of nonsense?”Defiance blazed in her beautiful eyes.As punishment, she was forced to kneel in the cold, gloomy Foster family chapel for three days and three nights.In their second year of marriage, the Foster family forbade Wendy, as the wife of the eldest son, from going clubbing or traveling the world on a whim like she used to.Wendy responded by driving her Ferrari straight through the heavy wrought-iron gates of the family estate, gates that had long stood as a symbol of the family's rigid rules.The roar of the engine echoed across the sprawling property.“You want me to stop going out and having fun? Over my dead body!”That earned her two weeks of confinement, with every phone and communication device confiscated.In their third year

Felix answered, and his younger brother Finn's carefree voice came through.“Felix! I need you to bail me out! Grace was helping Mom get ready for her birthday party, and the klutz accidentally knocked over that porcelain statue Mom treasures! If Mom finds out, she'll tear her apart! I'm overseas right now, hanging out on the beach with some model I just met, so I can't exactly come home. Do me a favor and smooth things over, will you?“I know this goes against all those precious rules of yours, but Grace is your sister-in-law, for God's sake. You can't just leave her to fend for herself!”Felix frowned, his voice turning colder.“You married her. Why aren't you treating her properly? She's your wife. Come home and protect her yourself.”“Come on, Felix. You know what I'm like! I only married her because, sure, she was poor, but she seemed sweet and innocent. It was something different, you know? But the novelty wore off!“She's nothing like Wendy Walker. Now there's a woman! Gor

After hanging up, Wendy leaned against the cold wall and slowly slid to the floor, all her strength gone.A long time passed before she took a deep breath and forced herself to her feet.Then she called a few of her closest girlfriends and asked them to meet up.They went shopping, splurged on whatever caught their eye, treated themselves to spa treatments, and finally headed straight for Harbour City's hottest nightclub.One of Wendy's friends studied her beautiful face. She looked as radiant as ever, but something about her seemed different.“Wendy, you know how strict the Fosters are. You haven't been out partying in ages. If they find out you've been going this wild tonight...”Wendy knocked back her drink.The liquor burned her throat, doing nothing to ease the pain in her already battered heart.She watched the crowd moving on the dance floor before casually dropping a bombshell.“They won't find out. Because I'm divorcing Felix.”“What?!”Her friend nearly knocked ove

From her hospital bed, Wendy watched the scene outside through the narrow gap in the door.Every little detail felt like a red-hot knife plunging into her heart, twisting deeper and deeper.She couldn't take it anymore.She grabbed a glass from the bedside table and hurled it toward the door with all her strength.It struck the doorframe and shattered with a deafening crash.The noise startled the two people outside.They both turned toward her room.Felix pushed the door open and walked in, his expression as impassive as ever.It was almost as though the gentle man she'd just seen outside had been nothing but a figment of her imagination.“You're awake. How are you feeling?”Grace followed him inside, carrying an insulated food container.There were still tearstains on her cheeks. She looked at Wendy timidly, her expression eager to please.“Wendy, I'm so glad you're awake. I... I heard you were hurt, so I made you some soup to help you recover.”Wendy didn't want to see

When Wendy finally woke from her drug-induced haze, a sharp pain in her arm brought her fully awake.She tried moving her left arm.It was wrapped in thick layers of gauze, and even the slightest movement sent a tearing pain through her flesh.Felix had actually gone through with it.He'd had the doctors remove skin from her arm to treat Grace's burns!The hospital room door opened quietly, and Felix's assistant walked in.“Mrs. Foster, you're awake. Mr. Foster had to fly overseas to handle an urgent international project. He asked me to bring you these gifts. He hopes you'll like them.”He hesitated before continuing.“Mr. Foster also said you should focus on recovering and, from now on, try to keep your temper under control.”Keep her temper under control?He'd taken her skin to please the woman he loved, then tried to brush it all aside with a few expensive gifts?And he still expected her to behave herself?Wendy raised her uninjured right arm and swept the gift boxes o

Wendy jerked her head up and stared at him in disbelief.“Felix Foster, what did you just say? Why?!”Felix met her shocked, anguished gaze, his eyes cold and utterly devoid of warmth.“Why? Don't you already know?“Apparently, what happened with the skin graft wasn't enough to teach you a lesson. Instead, you've only gotten worse! You actually had the nerve to bribe someone working at the party to poison Grace's drink! I've already questioned the person you paid. The evidence is conclusive.”He turned to the officers and nodded.“Take her away. Handle this according to the law. The Foster family will never protect anyone who commits a crime.”“Felix Foster, you bastard!”Wendy trembled with fury, her voice rising sharply.“What gives you the right to assume I did it?! You're going to condemn me just because some random person pointed a finger at me?! Do you even remember that I'm your wife?!”Overwhelmed by anger and humiliation, she lost control.She shoved aside the offic

Felix stared at his empty hand, his expression darkening. He quickly followed her.“Wendy!”He caught up with her beside the car and grabbed her wrist.“Enough of this! Today is our third wedding anniversary. There's a party waiting for us at the family estate, and we've invited plenty of guests. You're coming home with me.”Their wedding anniversary?Wendy almost laughed.He'd just dragged her out of hell, and now he expected her to attend some ridiculous anniversary party?Felix didn't wait for an answer.He forced her into the car.When they arrived at the Foster family estate, the place was brightly lit and filled with elegantly dressed guests, chatting and raising their glasses.During the gift presentation, Felix gave Wendy several sets of priceless jewelry in front of everyone.The lavish display immediately drew murmurs of admiration.“Mr. Foster really spoils his wife!”“I know! Who would've thought someone as cold and reserved as him could be so devoted to a woma

Seeing Wendy's silence as an admission of guilt, Felix's expression grew even colder.He turned to the bodyguards.“Lock her in the family chapel! She can stay there and think about what she's done. No one is to let her out without my permission!”“I'm not going!”Wendy took a sharp step back, her eyes filled with determination.“You're never locking me in that damn chapel again!”She turned to run.“Stop her!” Felix ordered.The bodyguards immediately moved to surround her.Wendy fought desperately, stumbling backward in her panic.But as she tried to escape, she collided head-on with a server pushing a cart loaded with champagne glasses.Crash!The impact sent the cart rattling, and dozens of glasses shattered across the floor.Wendy lost her balance and fell hard, landing among the countless razor-sharp shards.“Ah!”She let out an agonized scream.Blood immediately pooled beneath her, spreading across the floor and staining the glittering fragments red.Through the

Alarm bells went off in Wendy's head.“Grace Jones! What are you planning to do?!”“What am I planning?”Grace burst into crazed laughter.“I'm going to give you a little present, of course!”With that, she actually rushed into the chapel and swept the Foster family memorial plaques off their shelves, sending them crashing to the floor.Then she pulled out a lighter she'd prepared in advance and set fire to the hanging curtains.The dry fabric caught instantly.Flames spread rapidly through the chapel.“Have you lost your mind?!”Wendy tried to rush inside and stop her, but the thick smoke sent her into a fit of coughing.Grace watched her struggle, a twisted smile of satisfaction spreading across her face.Then, catching Wendy off guard, she grabbed a heavy incense burner nearby and slammed it against the back of her head.Wendy's vision went black.She lost consciousness instantly.When Wendy woke again, she found herself kneeling beside Grace on the cold floor of the

Chapter 10

Wendy listened to him, finding his words almost laughable.Learned her lesson?What lesson was she supposed to learn?What had she done wrong?Was her mistake believing he'd rescued her that day?Falling in love with him?Marrying him?Or was her greatest mistake failing to see what kind of man he really was until it was too late?But Wendy said nothing.She simply closed her eyes, unwilling to look at him anymore.Felix frowned at her stubborn silence and the way she'd completely shut herself off from him.In the end, he said nothing more.He had business to attend to, so he got up and left.For the next several days, Wendy remained in the hospital, quietly recovering on her own.Occasionally, she'd receive messages from Grace, complete with photographs of her and Felix enjoying themselves on vacation.Sunshine. Beaches.Felix still rarely smiled, but he looked relaxed standing beside Grace.Grace's messages were sickeningly sweet.Felix said I was traumatized by wha
