The Coming of the Quiet Rain
My husband’s friend’s widow uploaded a picture of her pregnancy report.
[Thank you for letting me have my own baby.]
I responded with a question mark when I saw Jake Green, my husband’s name, in the husband column.
Jake immediately called me to yell at me.
“She’s a widow and is living alone. All she wants is to have a baby to keep her company and give her life a little more cheer. How could you not show her even this bit of pity?
“You know that Henry is my friend. It’s only right for me to take care of his wife after he died! This is called friendship, don’t you understand?!”
Soon, Henry’s widow uploaded a photo of a loft apartment.
[Thank goodness you’re by my side to let me experience the warmth of a family again.]
When I saw Jake busying himself in the kitchen in the photo, I thought it was time to end the marriage.

No Way Back to Us
The night before my wedding, I was in a terrible car accident. I fell into a coma, and my body was broken and bruised.
While I lay unconscious, my fiancé called off the engagement and married his childhood sweetheart instead.
My mother went to demand justice on my behalf—but never made it back. She died in a sudden, brutal accident along the way.
In that moment of chaos, it was my childhood friend who stepped in. He knelt on one knee outside the hospital with a wedding gift of a hundred thousand dollars and quietly handled my mother's funeral.
I was wheeled into surgery. I lived, but was left with a permanent disability. And still, he promised to stay by my side, for life.
I was deeply moved. We got married.
But five years later, I overheard him talking to his secretary.
"Mr. Davidson, you arranged for someone to hit your wife with a car, just so Lucy could marry the one she loved. Aren't you afraid she'll find out?"
"For Lucy, there's nothing I wouldn't do. I've already given Ruby the rest of my life. Isn't that enough?"
I covered my mouth, holding back a sob.
Only then did I realize—the marriage I believed in had been a lie all along.
So be it. I'll disappear and let him be with the woman he truly loves.

Oops, I Married Your Buddy
Noah left me at the altar three times—for his precious Freya.
First time? She threatened to jump off a building.
Second? Said she was moving abroad.
Third? Sent a text saying she was getting forced into some arranged marriage.
Noah, usually Mr. Cool, freaked. Left a packed venue and turned me into a total joke. Again.
I called him. "If you don't come back today, I'm marrying someone else."
He laughed.
"Freya's young. You're too old to be playing games, aren't you?"
I clutched my phone, heart sinking. He knew Freya was bluffing. Still picked her.
That's when I finally gave up.
Later, after he'd calmed her down, he came looking for me.
"Pick a new wedding date," he said, like it was no big deal. "It'll be even grander this time."
A guy's voice cut through, smiling.
"Sorry, man. Gotta get my wife on the plane."

The Tides Swept You Out of My Life
My brother-in-law passed away in an accident. Out of pity for his widow, my husband decided to be the breadwinner for both families.
After that, my husband and son both gave all their love to my widowed sister-in-law.
On her birthday, my husband and son reserved a restaurant in town for her party.
I was plucking corn in the field when I started bleeding, a sign that I was miscarrying. I called my husband, begging him to come home and take me to the hospital.
However, he scolded me angrily, calling me a liar. “What the hell are you talking about? I haven’t touched you in months! How could you be pregnant?”
My son grabbed the phone impatiently as well. “Mom, the teacher said lying is wrong! Aunt Laura’s blowing out the candles now, bye!”
We had been married for seven years, yet they had completely forgotten that today was my birthday too.
Despairing, I dialed another number. “Mother, I changed my mind. I’m going back to inherit the clinic.”

I Married the Richest Man After Being Dumped
I brought my son, who was around a year old, to visit my parents’ graves, only to run into my childhood friend’s mother.
She asked me whether I had returned because I was no longer angry.
“Yelena, you’re finally back! You must’ve returned to marry Niel.
“I’ll make sure your wedding goes smoothly this time. I won’t allow any random person to ruin it!”
Niel Stalner was my childhood friend and ex-fiance. During my engagement party, Cloud Stalner, his foster sister, had barged in while wearing the same gown as I did.
She also said that she would kill herself if Niel refused to leave with her.
The guests burst into a ruckus, and in the end, I was left alone in the venue.
Everyone criticized me, and Niel’s family abandoned me. Eventually, I left the country like a dog with its tail tucked between its legs.
I smiled at Neil’s mother, Iris, and pushed the baby stroller forward.
“Iris, are you seriously telling me that Niel hasn’t married Cloud yet? Anyway, Michael, say hello.”

Lie and Regret
After giving my son, Cameron Spencer, one of my corneas, he had a memory distortion and confused me for his father's childhood sweetheart, Joanna Lister.
Such dreadful news caused me to be in so much pain that I refused to wake up.
However, during the time that I was semiconscious, I heard my son and my husband's conversation.
"Dad, does this mean Joanna will keep me company in the future?"
"Yes, it does. You've put on a great act, son!"
My attending surgeon couldn't stand their heartlessness and said, "Mr. Spencer, your son’s eyes are fine, but you lied to Mrs. Spencer in order for her to donate her cornea for Ms. Lister. If Mrs. Spencer finds out, I'm afraid..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of. She loves Cameron and me so much and she's an orphan as well. There's nowhere she could go after leaving us. Joanna's all alone in this city and she's almost gone blind. We can't waste any more time!"
I lay on the bed as my hopeless tears soaked the pillow.
All they cared about was Joanna.
But what they didn't know was that I was dying due to the operation.

He Forgot Me, I Deleted Him
The night before our wedding, Desmond Arlington got jumped out of nowhere.
By the time I made it to the hospital, he stared at me like I was a total stranger.
Doctor said it was memory loss—some brain rattle from the hit. Temporary, supposedly.
So I went full nostalgia tour, dragging him back to all our spots, hoping something would click.
Then one day at the hospital, I caught him running his mouth with his buddy.
"Rhea's trying so hard. Doesn't that do anything for you?"
"Do what? I'm over it. Same spots, same girl. The new ones are way more fun."
"So why marry her? Just call it off and live your life."
He snapped, "Shut up. I LOVE Rhea. I'd never bail on the wedding. I'm just... pushing it back a bit."
I looked down at the test results—zero issues. Everything normal.
And that's when it hit me: you can't help a faker.
