The day Eve Jones came back to town, Zac Gibson did not come home all night. The next day, I saw a post on her social media, showing a photo of two hands tightly intertwined, along with Zac’s peaceful, childlike sleeping face. When he finally came home, he threw divorce papers at me and said, "You’ve been standing in Eve’s place this whole time. Now that she’s back, it’s time for you to move on." It did not matter anymore. I was not going to live much longer anyway. Whoever wanted the title of "Mrs. Gibson" could have it. Later, I died. But Zac cried at my grave, kneeling, promising he would never hold anyone else’s hand again.

Chapter 1

Sitting at the dining table, I stared at the food growing colder by the minute. I picked up my phone and typed a single word, "Okay," and hit send.Half an hour earlier, Zac had texted me, saying he had just left the office and would be home soon.I had eagerly set out his favorite dishes on the table when my phone lit up with another message. "Something urgent came up. I have to attend a meeting. You go ahead without me."My heart sank. There was no last-minute business meeting. It was just my dear 'sister,' his so-called one true love, Eve, who had just returned from overseas with her biracial child. Zac and their friends were busy throwing her a welcome-back party.How did I know? Of course, it was my lovely sister who posted something on her social media, visible only to me. In the photo, Zac was gazing at her with so much affection, smiling more like a goofy dog than an actual one.If she had any less shame, I bet she would have invited me to witness the whole thing in person

Chapter 2

Before I had to face them, I quickly got up and rushed into the bathroom.In the living room, Zac called out for me several times, but I covered my mouth. Tears were streaming down my face and I was too afraid to respond.By the time I wiped my tears and composed myself enough to come out, I found them sitting at the dining table. They were eating the oats porridge I had made, chatting and laughing together.What a "happy little family" they were.I stormed over, stopping right in front of the table, and staring at them with a burning intensity.Zac looked up, confused. "Where’d you go? I’ve been calling you for a while."Eve smiled sweetly, but there was a hint of challenge in her eyes. "Quinn, come sit down and have breakfast with us!" Her tone was so casual, as if she were Mrs. Gibson and I was the guest begging for scraps.My expression must have been twisted with rage because I could feel my chest about to explode from the fury.I had not even had a bite of the food I made

Chapter 3

Zac lifted his foot to chase after her, but I grabbed the corner of his shirt, stopping him.Clutching my stomach in pain, I asked in a trembling voice, "Zac, my stomach hurts so much. Can you please get me a glass of warm water?"He shoved me off with force, causing my head to hit the wall, and I was left dizzy from the impact. For a brief moment, I saw a flicker of regret in his eyes.However, he still coldly spat out, "Quinn, you're getting more and more pathetic. Now you can’t even get a glass of water on your own?" Then, without another word, he rushed out the door to chase after Eve.Of course, the allure of his "one true love" was stronger. What did I, his stand-in for the past eight years, even mean to him?Suddenly, the pain in my stomach did not feel as bad anymore. It was the stabbing pain in my heart that was unbearable.……My doctor kept urging me to undergo chemotherapy. He said, "You’re still so young. You can’t just give up on life."But what he did not know was

Chapter 4

My mom fell ill from the shock, and though my dad was furious, he had to swallow his pride and go to the Gibson family to apologize. After all, if the wealthiest family in the city turned against us, my dad would not be able to handle it.Zac was devastated by the breakup and spiraled into drinking. Within a month, he was hospitalized twice for stomach bleeding.Sally was in tears every day, and Tom angrily berated him for being so weak, saying no woman was worth ruining his life over.Feeling indebted to the Gibson family, my parents decided that I should marry Zac. Zac’s parents eagerly agreed, as I had just begun to make a name for myself in the company. And since their son was not stepping up, they saw me as someone who could help keep Gibson Corporation afloat in the future.The only person who did not agree was Zac. He came to my house drunk, pointed at me, and yelled, "Quinn, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Even if Eve’s gone, you’ll never marry me. The title of

Chapter 5

That day, the rage in his bloodshot eyes terrified me. His hands gripped my throat so tightly that, for a moment, I thought I was going to die right there in his grasp.Finally, he let go and stood up. He put on his clothes and sneered, "If Eve hadn’t left, do you really think you’d be lying in my bed?"I clutched my neck, coughing for what felt like forever before I could catch my breath. But I wasn’t about to give in. "Yeah," I said, "but Eve didn’t want to sleep in your bed, did she?"His eyes flared with anger again as he glared at me.I smirked, my voice soft, "What? Want to choke me again?"He stormed out and slammed the door behind him.In that moment, I realized I would never have a place in his heart, even if I had the same face as Eve.……Eve and I were identical twins. I was born two minutes earlier, so I got the title of "elder sister."Most twins grew up inseparable, wearing the same clothes, styling their hair the same way, and carrying matching bags. But that wa

Chapter 6

After school, I would keep him in the classroom to finish his homework, spending an hour tutoring him. On weekends, I would video call him to make sure he completed his assignments. Zac would half-heartedly complain while grinning, saying, "I just love listening to my seatmate!" He had this mischievous look about him. But the results were obvious. By midterms, Zac was scoring above 60 in every subject. He jumped three feet in the air and hugged me tightly. "Ah, my genius seatmate! This is the first time I’ve ever passed all my classes!"What do you want as a gift? How about I treat you to dinner at Central House? The food there is amazing."Wait until I show this report card to my parents. It’ll blow their minds! Haha!"Zac kept going on and on, celebrating his success, while I blushed and gently slipped out of his embrace.I sat back down, pressing my right hand to my chest, trying to calm my racing heart.The next day after school, Zac’s parents were waiting at the gate.

Chapter 7

Eve once again sent me a private post, this time a photo of her and Zac in bed together. The sight of it made me rush to the bathroom, where I threw up for a solid three minutes.I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were lifeless, and my face no longer looked young. It hit me that I had spent years pouring all my energy into Gibson Corporation and Zac. Yet, I had never taken the time to care for myself, not even once.I used to think that as long as Zac did not publicly declare he wanted to be with Eve or ask me for a divorce, we could just finish out the remaining months of my life like this. But seeing them together in bed made me sick to my core. I could not stand to be associated with him any longer.He was filthy, and it was time for me to let go.I drafted the divorce papers and was about to send them to Zac when he unexpectedly brought Eve back to our home again.As soon as they walked in, Zac plopped down across from me at the dining table. Without hesitation,

Chapter 8

"Even though you and Eve look exactly the same, she just seems so much sweeter and softer than you. You should smile more, you know," Zac said, stabbing me right in the heart with those words.Sweet and soft, huh? Funny how he did not mention that when he promised to protect me.When I hid behind that tree, watching him kneel down on one knee and say "I love you" to Eve, I realized I could never be more than just his seatmate.Eve’s sharp voice interrupted my thoughts. "Quinn, come sit over here. Zac has something to say to you."……As soon as I sat down, Zac pulled a document from his bag and tossed it toward me. I glanced at it. It was the divorce papers.Thinking about the papers I had drafted and left in my drawer, I could not help but laugh. For once, we were on the same page.Zac sat up straight on the couch, looking serious. "Take a look. If everything’s fine, just sign it."Seeing the eagerness in his eyes, I suddenly did not want to go through with the divorce. Why sh

Chapter 9

When the bank was approached for a loan, they cited Gibson Corporation's insufficient liquidity and wanted Tom to use the project as collateral. However, he was unwilling to mortgage the entire project just to cover the final payment.I could see how worried he was. He could barely eat but he still urged me to have more food. I decided I would help him one last time.I had once saved the life of the CEO of York Corporation. I had pushed him out of the way of a speeding car, and we both ended up rolling onto the side of the road. He promised me that he would do three things for me, no questions asked.This first request, and likely the last, would be to have him help Gibson Corporation through this financial crisis.After the phone call, both Zac’s parents sighed with relief.Sally held my hand and asked how things were going between Zac and me, urging me to give her a grandson soon. I wanted to give her a polite response, but when I saw the video Eve had sent, I could not manage a

Chapter 10

This whole farce finally ended with Zac being knocked unconscious by Tom. A doctor was called in to treat Zac’s injuries, Eve was kicked out of the Gibson home, and I spent the night in a guest room on the second floor.Everyone came out of this mess with wounds, but I imagine the ones who hurt the most were Zac’s parents. Having a son who could not get his priorities straight left them deeply worried about the future of Gibson Corporation.……Zac’s injuries were serious, a clear sign that Tom had not held back. He was forced to stay at the family home to recover. Sally insisted that I stay as well to take care of him, clearly hoping to bring us closer. But neither of us had any desire to continue this farce of a marriage.Whenever Zac saw me, he lashed out with insults. If he weren’t bedridden from his injuries, I was sure he would have tried to hit me again. He spent his days sweet-talking Eve on the phone, all while cursing me for "tearing them apart."One day, as I sat by his
