Mark Winter had always believed his marriage to Katherine Landon was nothing more than a perfectly timed distraction. But she often looked at him with the hopeful eyes of a wife waiting for her husband, and little by little, he began to think that maybe spending the rest of his life like this wouldn’t be so bad. It wasn’t love. He only pitied her. Until one day, he realized Katherine had never truly been part of this marriage. She had never given him her heart. His rival, Calvin Winter, a man he had always looked down on, a man who fell short of him in every way, only had to reach out, and she followed without hesitation. On the day they finally ended things, Katherine said to him, “Calvin needs me.” Mark stood there in silence and watched her walk away. Watched her go over and take Calvin’s arm. But he needed her far more than Calvin ever did. — Katherine had always thought that after she left, someone as calm and controlled as Mark would probably only feel relieved.

I miss you so much.” Tonight, love spread quietly through the dark. Tonight, no one slept.

In order to find clean water for his beloved Liana Hughes to bathe, Castiel Fenton, my brother, left the base with all the able-bodied men. But among the zombies, a sentient Zombie King emerged and took it as an opportunity to invade the base. June Morgan, my pregnant sister-in-law, was torn in half by zombies while protecting me, and Poppy, my little niece was devoured down to the bone trying to help me escape. To save the base, I called Castiel for help. Upon hearing the news, he had no choice but to abandon Liana and rush back with his men. Eventually, the zombies were driven out of the base, but Liana was eaten by a passing zombie. Castiel said nothing and only collected Liana’s remains expressionlessly.

You must pay for her life!” When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the zombies invaded the base.

My husband is known as a ruthless CEO, but somehow, he is tender and warm with me.

Without a second thought, I rush to the hospital and donate two pints of blood to save him. As I walk past a hospital room, I freeze. There's Caleb—standing perfectly healthy beside a hospital bed. Kevin throws his head back and howls with laughter. "It's April Fools' Day. We actually managed to trick Winnie Jewel into donating two pints of blood. Too bad that it's useless, though. We might as well feed it to the stray dogs." Vivian Jewel, lying in a hospital bed, looks up at Caleb. "Caleb, don't you think that's a bit much?" A fond smile curves Caleb's lips as he replies, "I can't help it. Where does Winnie get the nerve to take your place? She should have stayed in the orphanage, but since she forced her way back into the Jewel family, she can't blame us for taking your side." Kevin jumps in eagerly. "This year marks the eighth year since she returned to the Jewel family, and the eighth year we've been pranking her." Their undisguised mockery spills out of the room. I pull out my phone and contact my aunt, Gianna Jewel. "Aunt Gianna, I’ve decided. Let's leave the country."
