He was free and unrestrained, while she was beautiful but not ostentatious. He came from a prominent family, and she was struggling to survive. He seemed to be cynical, while she was cold and ruthless. She swore that she would never marry a rich man, but she fell in love with him. No matter how arrogant he was, he could not control himself and lost his heart to her. Perhaps, life is a satire! Love, marriage, conspiracy, and resentment mixed up in their story.

Chapter 1 Prelude

It was already midnight, and it was very dark outside. The whole house was so quiet. But miserable sobs broke the stillness of the night. It sounded like someone was grieving a person's death. Anyone who could hear the sobs would get flustered and sad.

Lettie Lin stood in front of the window and stared into the distance. She was at Mike Zhao's house right now. As the night wind blew, the leaves of the trees swayed with it. Some of them fell to the ground. Watching the darkness outside, the memories of the past flashed back in her mind. She didn't expect that love could be so disappointing. In the end, what she felt was endless desolation and loneliness. All the beautiful things disappeared.

"Claud..." she whispered. But as soon as she mentioned that name, she felt heartbroken.

She loved Claud Chen and treated him sincerely. She did everything for him, but it was all in vain. No matter what she did, she could never be number one in his heart.

She hated him so much now, but she still didn't want him to feel sad, self-abased, or depraved. For him, she took the blame for everything. Every day, she went to a remote village to see the famous doctor who could treat his infertility. But in the end, she was suspected by him and his mother. When his chairmanship in the company was endangered, she took out all her properties to save him and make sure that his position was safe. She even signed the divorce agreement prepared by his mother secretly, enduring all the pains in heart.

From a distance, Lettie Lin noticed a black car slowly approaching. Its headlights shone all over the house. The car pulled over the roadside in front of the house. Then, a familiar figure got out.

He finally showed up again.

Looking at the figure walking slowly towards the house, her heart raced wildly.

Claud Chen seemed to feel that someone was staring at him because he stopped and looked up for a few seconds. After leaving the golf court, he didn't go to Lettie Lin directly. Instead, he went to his mother to know everything that happened. When things became clear to him, he seemed to have gone crazy. Pain overwhelmed him. He lay in bed for the whole day and night without eating anything. Eventually, he suffered from a serious illness. On the second day, he couldn't bear his longing for Lettie Lin any longer. So when his parents were not around, he sneaked a bottle of wine into his room and drank it up. He waited for midnight and drove to Mike Zhao's house to look for Lettie Lin. He had to see her right away. Otherwise, he would die immediately.

She stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought that Claud Chen came to see her. He looked away and strode inside.

Lettie Lin leaned against the glass window and slid down. Her nose twitched, and tears streamed down her face. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt a dull pain in her chest. She couldn't breathe.

Before she could react, the door was suddenly opened. She raised her head reflexively and saw Claud Chen standing outside. He looked aggressive and fierce. The expression in his eyes felt like she was blaming her for everything.

He slammed the door and walked up to her. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was cold.

She suddenly felt a sense of danger, so she reacted quickly. She moved her right leg and prepared to run away.

"You want to escape?"

Claud Chen snorted with a deep frown. He rushed forward and grabbed her wrist.

Lettie Lin looked at him in panic and asked, "What do you want?"

"What do you think?" He reeked of alcohol. She had never been treated so rudely before, so she couldn't help feeling frightened.

At this moment, he seemed to have lost all the gentleness in him.

As he pulled her, her pajamas were accidentally torn, revealing her pearl skin.

If it were some random guys, they would have been enticed by her beauty. But he was not in his right mind at the moment. He didn't care when her delicate skin was exposed.

He pressed his lips against her ear and growled, "Lettie, have I already told you what I hate most? It's betrayal and deception!"

His voice was not loud, but it was so frightening that she trembled all over.

She shook her head and said, "Claud, what do you mean? I don't understand what you're talking about." She had expected to see a cheeky grin on his face, but it never appeared. Perhaps he was really angry right now. But with the current situation, she could never admit that the child was his. Or else, everything she had done would be in vain.

"Huh? You don't understand?"

She shook her head repeatedly. "No. I never lied to you. I never betrayed you."

"Ha-ha! Are you sure about that?" Claud Chen sneered as he pinched her chin with one hand. He then took out the divorce agreement and showed it to her face. "Don't tell me that you don't know what this is."

She looked at the document with eyes wide open. It was the divorce agreement that his mother forced her to sign. She only agreed to it because his position as the chairman was at stake. His mother said that as long as she signed it, he would remain as the chairman safely. But as far as she could remember, only his mother, Chloe Zhang, and Ava Gu had a copy of it. How come that Claud Chen had it now? Was it because...?

"Why did you sign this? Did my mother force you?"

"No, she didn't."

"Then, why? Tell me! I was in the dark all along. It was only later that I found out that we were already divorced. My mother told me that you asked for it. I thought it was fine. I could have a chance to stabilize the company, then let Julia manage it. Then I would take you everywhere to seek medical treatment. We wouldn't stop until you get cured. After that, everything would be fine. But I didn't expect that you were all lying to me. Why?"

"We didn't lie to you."

"Really? Are you sure you didn't lie to me? I am the sterile one, but you made me believe that it was you. Why do you have to do that? Are you afraid that I won't be able to accept it? You don't want me to feel inferior, do you? You pity me!"

"No, Claud. You're wrong. Who told you that nonsense? That's not true at all."

"Are you still going to lie to me until now?" He raised his voice. "Lettie, do you know how much you've hurt me? I don't want your sympathy or pity. Do you think I will be grateful for what you have done? No! I will only hate you! Hate you!" He was already on the verge of breaking down.

She hurriedly held him and said, "Claud, you're drunk. Lie on the bed for a while, please."

But he shook off her hand. "I'm not drunk!" His eyes were wet, and his voice became hoarse all of a sudden. "Lettie, don't you understand me? Don't you know what I really want?"

She didn't know how to answer him. She just shook her head and choked with sobs.

"Lettie, I know that you still love me. But my mother is pressuring you to get pregnant. You are pregnant now, aren't you? Let's go back and tell my mother about it. I'm sure that she will be happy.

She will keep you in the family and let us live together." 'My mother-in-law would only keep me if I could bear a child.' Those words were like a knife that cut her heart. Lettie Lin was deeply hurt. She gritted her teeth and said, "I've already told you, this child is not yours."

Claud Chen was stunned for a moment. He thought for a while and realized that she only said it out of anger. Just now, Kyle Wang had confirmed to him that the child was his. He suddenly came to his senses and held her in his arms. In an instant, her hair was wet with his tears. He said between sobs, "Lettie, I was wrong. Please forgive me for being cruel and careless. Forgive me for doubting you again and again."

"Stop it. I'm so sleepy now. You'd better go home." She pretended to sound impatient. She tried to push him away, but her hands were so weak that she failed.

"No, I won't leave. If you are sleepy, just sleep. I will stay by your side and watch over you."

"No need," she countered. "Didn't you say that you don't want to see me anymore? Besides, I heard that you are with Jennifer again now. Your mother wants you to have children with her, right? Claud, since you have already chosen her, stop hurting me anymore. Don't forget that she is still waiting for you to go back. She needs you to accompany her."

There was a trace of jealousy in her voice. He held her face up and looked straight into her eyes. "Lettie, please don't be like this, okay? You know that I've never loved her. I only have you in my heart. Are you mocking me on purpose?"

"If you don't love her, why did you give her hope again? Don't you know that you will only hurt her?"

Lettie Lin hated the truth that Claud Chen turned back to Jennifer Li when things were going crazy between them. But he felt extremely regretful now. "I was wrong, Lettie. I was in a fit of anger when I went to see her. I didn't mean it."

Upon hearing his explanation, she felt that her heart calmed down a lot. She forced a smile and said, "Claud, Jennifer is a good woman. We can't hurt her again. You should go and find her."

"I will talk and apologize to her."

"No. I hope that you will stop being childish from now on. Don't let Jennifer hate me again." She had no choice but to tell a lie. "Claud, I don't care if you feel sad. But I don't love you anymore. In fact, I don't want to see you ever again."

My best friend, Noah, had my hands broken. He did it so I could never paint again. Then he told my wife, Olivia, that I had lost my mind and needed to be sent away for "rehabilitation." They sent me to what was essentially a prison, where I was starved, beaten, and eventually died alone on a cold floor. Now, I'm a ghost, haunting Noah's lavish party, a celebration of his stolen success. He' s exhibiting paintings that are eerily like my lost collection, while everyone praises him as an art mogul. Olivia, my wife, is there too, looking beautiful but with a shadow in her eyes. Noah's assistant, the one who helped break my hands, even lies to her face, saying I'm still "adjusting" at the center. The arrogance is breathtaking. Olivia stands in the house my stolen art paid for, listening to the lies of the man who killed me. He even fakes an injury to garner her sympathy. It was shocking when a call came through, revealing I' d been secretly flying every six weeks for a year to donate blood for Olivia's rare condition, saving her life. Then the news broke: the "rehabilitation" center I was sent to was a network of abusive prisons where patients died. No one heard my silent screams. My wife even refused to believe the truth, preferring to cling to Noah' s comforting lies, even as she tried to salvage my shredded art from the attic. But then my real parents, billionaires who had been searching for me for decades, showed up. And Noah, my murderer, embraced them, pretending to be their long-lost son. He wanted to steal my inheritance, too. "Mom? Dad?" he said, holding out the locket my birth mother gave me. My wife's refusal of Noah's marriage proposal was a small flicker of hope, soon extinguished by his manipulative feigned heart attack. But then the funeral home called, asking Olivia to pick up my remains. My ashes scattered on the floor after Noah fumbled the urn, and my mother-in-law suddenly revealed I' d donated my kidney to Olivia. That was the moment. She called 911, reporting a murder. My murder.

The last thing I remembered was the cold. It was the kind of cold that seeped into your bones, mocking the thin dress you wore. I was dying in a dark, abandoned warehouse, our son Leo trembling beside me. Then, his voice. Over the kidnapper' s phone, Harrison Hayes, the man I' d loved for years, flatly declared: "Wrong number. I don' t know them." He didn' t know me. He didn' t know Leo. Five years of a miserable marriage dissolved into one brutal truth: he resented me, seeing my existence as the ruin of his life. My death, simply a convenient erasure. And then, nothing. A profound, silent void. Until, a voice, warm and familiar, broke through the darkness: "Ava? Happy birthday." My eyes snapped open. I wasn't in a warehouse. I was at my 21st birthday dinner, staring at a younger Harrison, before the resentment carved lines around his mouth. This was the night it all began, the night I confessed my desperate love. But this time, the memory of his callous "Wrong number" burned. The phantom ache of my son' s absence was a hollow void in my chest. I would not make the same mistake. I would not confess. I would let him go. I would let him have his perfect life with his perfect Charlotte. When Charlotte Evans, his first love, walked in, I didn't fight. I left. I walked out into the cool night, hailing a cab, for the naive girl I had been, for the son who would now never exist. The pain was immense. But underneath it, a fragile seed of freedom took root. I wouldn' t be a victim. I would save myself. My first call was to my parents' lawyer. I was activating a forgotten betrothal agreement. I was going to Daniel Thorne.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
