"The aid mission to Otresh will last at least two years. Does your husband agree with you going?"

Chapter 1

"I am willing to go to Otresh and join Doctors Without Borders." Kenia Watson's voice was firm.

The Chief Medical Officer hesitated for a moment before speaking. "The aid mission to Otresh will last at least two years. Does your husband agree with you going?"

She rotated the ring on her right hand, took a moment of silence, and then answered, "We're about to divorce. I hope you won't tell him where I'm going after I leave."

She had tolerated so much, continuously searching for the truth from years ago.

When she was diagnosed with cancer, her husband was having an affair with her stepsister.

This time, she chose to let go and leave, refusing to be entangled with him any longer.

"Hobson Watson, in a month, we will be free."

Yet, when she was critically ill, he knelt by her hospital bed, praying repeatedly for her to wake up.

......

"Dr. Watson, have you made up your mind? Otresh is engulfed in war, and you may not return."

Kenia picked up the pen from the table and resolutely signed her name. "I am willing to go to Otresh and join Doctors Without Borders."

The older Chief Medical Officer approached her and held her hand. "Like your father, you have a noble heart as a doctor. But does your husband agree with you going?"

Kenia's face softened with a gentle smile. "We're about to divorce. His opinion no longer matters."

After returning home from the hospital, what greeted her was the sight of her stepsister sitting on her husband's lap, the two intimately entwined.

She let out a cold laugh and, as she passed them, threw out a remark. "Hobson, you really have no standards if you find someone like her appealing."

Hobson's hand stroked the woman's slender waist, his deep eyes fixed on Kenia.

"Is that so? She is much better in bed than you."

With those words, they shamelessly kissed in front of her.

She cast a cold glance at them and went upstairs to her room.

Hobson watched her retreating figure, clenching his fists, but still managed a smile at the woman before him.

"Hobson, do you think she'll be angry?"

Hobson frowned slightly, caressing her right cheek.

"She loves me too much to be angry."

Once in her room, Kenia retrieved a report from the drawer, her brow furrowed.

The report felt like a dagger to her heart.

Late-stage stomach cancer.

She recalled the day of the diagnosis, pacing the hospital corridor with a restless heart, which compelled her to dial Hobson's number.

At that moment, she only wanted to hear his voice, even if he had nothing kind to say.

But the call was answered by her stepsister's voice. "Hobson is in the shower. Do you need something?"

Her hand trembled as she abruptly hung up the phone.

Hobson resented her, all because of a rumor.

When they first married, Hobson was deeply in love with her.

But in the second year of their marriage, after hearing rumors that her father's medical mistake had caused the death of his first love, he never showed her a kind face again.

Hobson publicly exposed the incident, leading to her father succumbing to the pressure and taking his own life.

He then began frequenting nightclubs and bars, bringing home one woman after another, being intimate with them in front of her.

At first, Kenia couldn't believe he no longer loved her. She repeatedly accused him, but he coldly replied, "I will never love the daughter of a murderer again."

Now, being with her stepsister was just another way to get back at her.

Hobson knew what she cared about most and how to make her heart ache.

Kenia's eyes dimmed, clutching the report tightly before tearing it into pieces and throwing them into the trash.

"Hobson, we will soon be free."

Ethan Hayes thought his life was a gilded cage, trapped between his tyrannical father and his ruthless half-brother, Liam. His last hope for freedom was an arranged marriage to a comatose heiress in Boston, a deal he accepted in exchange for a fortune and the quiet support of his stoic bodyguard, Sarah Bell. But that fragile sense of acceptance shattered when he overheard Sarah's late-night call, revealing her true identity as Seraphina Vance, a billionaire heiress, and her chilling confession: she was infatuated with Liam, seeing Ethan as nothing more than a "means to an end." The woman he' d secretly loved had been deceiving him, her every act of professional care a calculated move to get closer to Liam. Her obsession led her to public acts of devotion towards his tormentor brother, culminating in orchestrating a brutal dog attack on Ethan and later a violent beating by thugs, all while prioritizing Liam and dismissing Ethan's suffering. How could the quiet, seemingly caring Sarah be this ruthless heiress, so utterly blind to Liam' s cruelty? The betrayal gnawed at Ethan, leaving him drowning in a bitter cocktail of humiliation, anger, and profound confusion. Was his entire life just a stage for their twisted games? Then, Liam's drunken boasts exposed the horrific truth: his mother's death and Ethan's ruined scholarship were his brother's calculated acts. With nothing left to lose and everything to escape, Ethan decided his arranged marriage was no longer just a transaction, but his only path to true freedom from a family intent on destroying him, even if it meant abandoning everything he knew.
