To My Former Love: I Free You
Three days before our wedding, I tell Gabriel Miller that I want to terminate our marriage once and for all.
He just smiles helplessly at me. "Is it because I hooked Katherine's bra for her?"
I nod in response. "Yup."
The helplessness in his smile grows.
"Kat is so clumsy. The last clasp came loose and she couldn't fix it herself. There were so many guests at the banquet last night, so I had to lend her a helping hand."
Upon noting my lack of response, Gabriel pushes a Victoria's Secret giftbox in my direction. But I refuse to accept it.
We've been together since our years in our hometown all the way till our time in Marise. Over the years, we've grown older and more mature.
It's been 18 long years. Now is time for me to let go of this relationship once and for all.

Love Unsent
After a passionate night, my childhood sweetheart, Jack Jenner, thoughtfully prepared birth control pills for me.
I held his wrist and pleaded coquettishly, "The pills are bitter. I don't want to take them. Let's just get married if I get pregnant."
Jack patted my head and chuckled. "Don't be silly. Childbirth is much worse than taking pills. Besides, I'm getting engaged on Sunday. Whose child would it be if you gave birth?"
I froze as he casually kissed my forehead, gently coaxing me, "My darling Ariana, pack up your things and take them with you. We can't fool around like this anymore. My fiancée asked me to be chaste."
I numbly threw the things into the trash can and dialed my father's number. "I'll marry him."

The Neighbor’s Cat Destroyed His Lies
My neighbor abandoned her cat, so I took it in.
It never warmed up to me, but never stopped meowing at my husband.
I grew suspicious. One night, my husband claimed to be working late. I knocked on the neighbor’s door.
She stroked her slightly rounded belly. “Ms. Hill, what brings you here so late?”
Her eyes gleamed with defiance and smugness. Something clicked. I understood everything.
When my husband crept home at dawn, he found both sets of parents waiting.
A divorce agreement lay on the coffee table.

He Begged After I Chose to Die
In the third year of my relationship with Jason Chase, he told me he wanted to give me an unforgettable birthday.
I never expected that that would mean pressing me onto the icy ground and letting other men humiliate me.
I lifted my head with difficulty, trembling as I clutched at the hem of his pants.
I asked, "Jason… why?"
He looked at me with contempt and kicked me away without any hesitation. He said icily and ruthlessly, "Christine Light, this is for Lisa. I've been waiting a long time to avenge her."
I closed my eyes as my heart shattered into a million pieces.
Later, just as he wished, I decided to end my life. But then, he broke down in tears, begging me not to leave him.

The employee types on the keyboard, but his brows draw tighter afterward.

In the photo, Matthew has his left arm wrapped around Meghan's waist while carrying a five-year-old boy with his right arm. The three of them stand in front of a kindergarten's entrance with smiles so bright that they practically sting Danielle's eyes.
On the boy's chest is a nametag that clearly says "Taylor Gardner".

The Dare That Ended Us
My girlfriend, Clara Sutton, had severe mysophobia.
Before every intimate moment we shared, she required me to disinfect myself thoroughly in advance.
She even set strict rules about how often we could kiss or sleep together, and how long it could last.
Without her permission, I was not allowed to touch her.
I had always believed she treated everyone this way. I even secretly felt relieved, thinking that I must have been somewhat special to her.
Then came that night at the bar.
During a party, her childhood friend, Ethan Ford, drew a dare in a game of truth or dare.
Then, in front of everyone, he leaned in and kissed Clara.
Although it was supposedly a punishment for losing, they kissed deeply for a full five minutes.
Our friends laughed and jostled one another as they turned to look at me.
Only then did I realize that Clara’s obsession with cleanliness had never been a universal rule. It had existed simply because she did not like me.
Disheartened, I asked for a breakup.
But Clara soon regretted it.
With reddened eyes, she begged me not to leave.

From Now On, I Spoil Myself
After getting reborn, the first thing Holly Webster does is to spend five billion dollars on an island that's completely alienated from the rest of the world.
The employee in charge of the procedures is flabbergasted, to say the least. After all, the particular island isn't well-known on the world map at all. Not only do people not know about its existence, but it's also excluded from the rest of the world. Not even the GPS navigation can form a route leading to it.
"Are you sure you want to buy this island, Ms. Webster? If you choose to move onto this island and live there, it'll be difficult for you to keep in touch with the outside world."
Holly nods immediately, her tone taking on a relieved edge.
"That's exactly what I want. I don't want anyone to get in contact with me."

Our Silver Anniversary: My Wife, a Male Escort, 30 Rounds
Despite having been married for 25 years now, my wife, Sasha Fuller, and I have done it less than ten times.
During our 25th wedding anniversary, however, Sasha, who has always claimed to be uninterested in intimacy, ends up doing it 30 times with a male escort at a clubhouse.
The couch ends up completely drenched.
This is when I realize just how wrong I've been all along.
Even after her betrayal is exposed, Sasha adamantly refuses to admit to any wrongdoing. On the contrary, she starts condemning me.
Hurt and upset, I proceed to spend three days arguing with her about it.
Even my friends and relatives try to talk me down.
"You two have been married for over 20 years now. She's even the CEO of Fuller Group. What's the big deal if she sleeps with a male escort? Don't end your marriage over something this trivial."
"All these years, a live-in son-in-law like you only managed to establish yourself with the help of the Fuller family anyway. Don't be so ungrateful."
With my heart in anguish, I look at Sasha and say, "Cut off all contact with him, and things between us can go back to the way they used to be."
However, Sasha retrieves a pregnancy test report from her briefcase and silently takes off her wedding ring. "Colin, I'm already 45 years old. Even if you can't have children, you can't expect me to go my whole life without one as well, right?"
She strokes her belly without the slightest trace of guilt in her eyes. "If you insist on making a big deal over this, then I have no choice but to divorce you."
My hands, hidden by my sleeves, clench into fists briefly before falling lax again.
"Let's get a divorce then."
Not only am I going to get a divorce, but I'm going to give Sasha and her affair partner a big surprise.

My Wife Paid Ten Million for Her Lover’s AIDS
For the sake of her secretary, who was supposedly battling cancer, my wife, Sofia Griffin, made a shocking proposal.
She would pay ten million for taking his virginity as an attempt to help him raise the funds needed.
I had barely opened my mouth to object when she cut me down with a sharp rebuke.
She said, "Chris has always been a proud man. Just giving him the money would seem like a handout and hurt his pride.
"Can't you try to be compassionate? Do you really have to be jealous over something this small?"
I said nothing.
I simply smiled and nodded.
What she didn't know was that, as an infectious disease specialist, I had already recognized the signs.
It wasn't cancer... It was late-stage AIDS.
