I knew Adeline Shaw had been entangled with her childhood sweetheart for over a decade, but I still dove headfirst into our relationship without hesitation. Then came our engagement day. Adeline got a call that her childhood sweetheart had collapsed and was in the hospital. Without a second thought, she dropped everything - dropped me - and rushed to his side. My grandmother, who witnessed this whole scene, hurried after her. In her rush, she was struck by a car. By the time they got her to the hospital, it was too late. We couldn't save her. That's when I finally let go. She was never truly mine, and I shouldn't have tried to force what wasn't meant to be.

I was grateful for all the online support. After six months, the cottage renovation was complete, and I'd become a successful content creator with hundreds of thousands of followers.This new career path was working out - the video income was enough to live on.I hadn't seen Adeline for months, until she suddenly appeared after half a year.I'd turned the cottage into a vacation rental, and that day brought an unexpected guest.It was pouring outside. Looking at the gloomy rain, I sighed, figuring we wouldn't get many guests.Just then, someone rushed in. I hurried to greet them. "Welcome! Are you here for a room-"I stopped short - it was Adeline!She'd lost weight, cut her hair short, and had a new scar on her face.Her eyes welled up when she saw me. "Henry, I finally found you.""Why are you here? This isn't a shelter - you've got the wrong place!"I kept my face cold. Adeline froze, shaking her head. "No! That's not it!"Seeing her soaked and shivering in the rain, I co

I smiled. "Congratulations, then. Keep a close eye on her - don't end up like I did!"I skipped their wedding, but my former coworkers went. Apparently, the Shaw family required all employees to attend to witness their 'great love story.'Just another PR crisis management move.The media showed up in force that day, live-streaming everything, capturing Adeline's forced smile.Someone commented on the video, "Adeline, blink twice if you're being held hostage, or change your profile pic to Henry's if you need help."And she actually did change it!I had to laugh. This woman and her drama - I honestly hoped they'd live happily ever after and leave me alone.No such luck. They just wouldn't quit.Adeline's profile picture stunt sent Shaw company stocks tumbling again.Three days into the marriage, someone leaked Bryan's past as a male escort overseas, including inappropriate videos with wealthy older women.My phone kept buzzing with links to explicit videos of Bryan at overseas

The elevator doors opened, and I yanked my hand free, heading straight to HR to submit my resignation.After taking so many days off, I didn't want to continue anyway. With the company in crisis, I wasn't the only one leaving.HR approved it quickly, but things stalled at Adeline's desk. I knew she was deliberately holding it up, but resignation only required notification - she couldn't force me to stay.I had nothing to hand over, so I just packed up my personal belongings and left.I cleared out everything from my office completely. Seeing this, Adeline dragged me into her office."Henry, you really have to resign right now?"I took a deep breath and smiled at her. "Don't push me. We both know what this is about. You're only holding onto me now because you want me as your shield.""Let's end this cleanly, Adeline. Just go public - you and Bryan are already like this anyway!""Why?" Adeline lost her composure. "Why can't you just stand firmly by my side? I told you, I don't wa

I never understood how such a big, muscular guy could be so fragile. Later, I found out it was all an act.When no one else was around, he'd taunt me, even brazenly admitting he was faking his illness.The rare blood type was real, but he wasn't nearly as weak as he pretended to be. Yet somehow he always convinced Adeline he was helpless and frail.Once when I joked to Adeline that Bryan was so fragile a breeze could knock him over, she exploded at me. She accused me of cursing him and said I had a twisted mind.It was ridiculous. To Adeline, Bryan was just this fragile and delicate guy from a fallen family that everyone could bully.She was blind to who he really was behind her back.The more I tried to tell her, the less she believed me. She even sympathized with his family's decline and told me to be more generous and let go of the past.She even had the nerve to say I should be grateful - if it wasn't for Bryan, I'd never have had a chance with the Shaw family.True enough,

I shrugged. "Really? What a shame. I thought she truly loved you. Guess you got dumped after all!"His face turned sickly green. "You'll pay for this, Henry!"I shrugged again. "Whatever. You're always in and out of hospitals - do you think the Shaw family enjoys seeing you like this?""What would happen if this all came out? Would the Shaws have you killed?""Oh right, I almost forgot - I still have that police report. Want to go viral? I can make that happen!"Bryan's face turned even greener. True, he and Adeline were childhood sweethearts, but his family had fallen on hard times, and he'd gone abroad.I wasn't sure about his life overseas, but when he came back, somehow he reignited things with Adeline.She'd do anything for him after that.Adeline wasn't stupid - for her to act this way, Bryan must have something on her. But they'd never end up together.She'd gotten engaged to me instead of choosing him - proof that the Shaw family would never accept Bryan.I said all t

Adeline stood there speechless, staring into empty space. Next to her, Bryan grew anxious."Adeline? Let's go back. I'm not feeling well."She nodded, snapping out of her daze, and led him away.After leaving my friends, I stayed up all night preparing a PowerPoint. It detailed every blood donation record and the real story of how Adeline and I got together.Over the next three days, I reached out to Adeline's clients. I might not have much influence, but I knew her recent projects had issues she was hiding, planning to fix them after they started.I worked tirelessly to expose every weakness in those projects. The clients were skeptical at first, but after hearing my analysis, they fell silent, saying they'd "think it over."Once you plant the seed of doubt, others will do the rest.Three days passed while I worked on this. I barely slept.On the fourth day, I opened my door to find Adeline standing there.She looked pale. I was about to snap at her when everything went black

I read these messages with a bitter smile, taking screenshots of everything. Maybe they'd come in handy someday. Then I blocked her without hesitation.But Adeline wouldn't give up so easily.The next day, I found her at my doorstep with Bryan beside her."What do you want?""Bryan wanted to thank you, so I brought him here. Henry, can't you just let this go?"I couldn't believe she could still say things like that. I laughed sarcastically. "What now? Should I bow down and thank him too?""Get out of here, Adeline. Don't make me call the cops again.""Henry!" Adeline snapped.Bryan stepped in. "Henry, don't be angry. I know you're upset about the engagement.""It's my fault, really. My health... anyway, if you're angry, just hit me instead."I could see the smug challenge in his eyes as he spoke.Without hesitation, I punched him right in the face!"Henry, have you lost your mind?" Adeline rushed to push me aside and help Bryan up."What's wrong? He told me to hit him. N

Adeline strode up in her heels, stopping right in front of me. "What's the drama about, Henry? It's not like this is your first time donating. Stop being so precious about it!"Her security team dragged me to the hospital room. They held me down while I watched helplessly as they drew my blood.From the adjacent bed, Bryan looked at me, his face pale. "I'm really sorry for the trouble again."I clenched my fists tightly, anger welling up in my eyes, "This is the last time. I won't let you get away with this again.""We're done, Adeline."She frowned. "What's your problem? Saving a life is sacred - I'll make it worth your while."I let out a bitter laugh. "Worth my while? Who do you think you are, Adeline? Some untouchable goddess?""I told you, we're done. Don't come looking for me again!"I took a deep breath, my heart aching unbearably. God, I still hadn't even arranged Grandma's funeral!I regretted everything. I never wanted to cross paths with her again.After the transf
