Shortlived Happiness
Right before my wedding, my fiancé, Benjamin Gray, holds another wedding at an old settlement with his true love, who has lung cancer.
He holds Jennifer Robinson close and smiles tenderly at her underneath the starry sky. "According to the local customs here, the woman whose wedding is held first is considered a man's actual wife. I might have already registered my marriage with Samantha, but she's more like my mistress."
Everyone cheers and blesses them as they toast each other and enter their room for the night.
I witness all of this, but I don't cry or kick up a fuss. Instead, I make an appointment for an abortion.
I've loved Benjamin for 15 years, but I still can't compare to Jennifer, who is my stepsister.
If that's the case, I'll let him go.
Later, I join a geological exploration and research team in the South Isles and am cut off from the world. All I leave behind is a divorce agreement and a divorce gift.
Benjamin has never cared for me, so it's odd that he loses his mind overnight after my departure.

She was trying to get an answer to the question I once wrote in my diary. "Xander, do you like me?"

The Alleged Mistress’s Comeback
After I was falsely accused of being a third wheel by a fake heiress, she hired a group of people to corner me in the delivery room under the pretense of giving me an intervention.
"How dare you, a shameless mistress, hope to secure a place with your child!"
"Today, I'm going to make sure that b*stard in your belly is gone for good. Let's see if you dare get into my man's bed again."
The group blocked the delivery room door, their faces twisted with malice as they refused to let the doctors deliver my baby.
I begged them to let me go, but they only laughed cruelly and forced me down in front of a camera while I struggled through labor.
They forcefully pulled the baby out of my belly and killed him right in front of me.
I clung to my child's lifeless body, sobbing hysterically, while they posted my miserable state online with the caption, 'This is what happens to mistresses.'
Later, I exposed her fake heiress status and revealed the dirty secrets of her and those people who were allegedly giving me an intervention online.
Relentlessly attacked by netizens until she had nowhere left to turn, she ended up begging me for forgiveness.
I pointed to the edge of the rooftop and said, "Jump, and I'll forgive you."

Too Late for Regrets
On the day of my seventh wedding anniversary, my husband's lover gave my son a pet cat.
My pregnancy made me allergic to cat fur, and rashes appeared all over my body. Sensing that it might lead to a miscarriage, I told my son to return the cat.
"I'm keeping it!" my five-year-old son, Zachary, protested. He pushed me and said, "I hate having you as my mom! I want Aunt Lynn to be my mom!"
My husband, Quinton Locke, tore into me. "Why did you have to develop an allergy now, out of all times? Is your jealousy blinding you to the point where you won't even consider your son 's feelings? You're being unreasonable!"
He carried Zachary up and left with the cat. They had eschewed me in favor of Lynn Shelbert, Quinton's lover and the 'apple of his eye'.
I collapsed on the ground, watching as blood began to soak my pants. At that moment, I knew I had suffered a miscarriage.
I felt an unimaginable pain while I was in the hospital.
My husband and son went traveling with Lynn, resembling a happy family of three.
Lynn sent me a message. [Do you know why Quinton married you even though he's hopelessly in love with me? Well, I wanted a son and a daughter, but I didn't want to bear the risks that come with pregnancy. It's a shame you had a miscarriage.]
Despair engulfed me that very instant.
I hired a lawyer to prepare the divorce papers and took a flight back to my hometown.
My sole wish was to never see Quinton and Zachary again.

When the kidnappers agreed to release one hostage, he chose to let them keep me to protect her.
I knelt on the ground, desperately begging him to save me first, but his face was expressionless.

“You’re different. You’re already married to me. Even if something happens to you, I won’t hold it against you.”
