Synopsis

bxg

Shelia:3 years ago, I concealed my identity and married the dream girl of the whole country. Hugh, he is a firefighter who helps others and is a pilot who maintains peace. His wealth is his least worthy topic to mention. A year ago, he joined the peacekeeping force. When he came back, there was another woman standing next to him. "Sign this divorce agreement." This was the first thing he said after we reunited and met again. I chose to let go and no longer hide my past. But Hugh came back and asked me with sorrowful eyes, "Why do you lie to me?" Hugh: 3 years ago, my first love left me and I married a nurse, Shelia. A year ago, I met my first love while on a duty because she literally took a bullet for me. After my peace keeping mission, I decided to divorce Shelia. But accidents happened one after another, including terrorist attacks, kidnappings, nude blackmail photos, mysterious car accidents... I found that both these two women had ulterior motives and secrets. Who is lying? Who is my true love?

Chapter 1: Return and Departure

Shelia’s POVHugh was coming back!After Grandma told me the news yesterday, I rushed to my room and tried on every dress I owned, spending the entire evening in front of the mirror.It had been a year since he left to be a pilot with the peacekeeping forces. Throughout that year, I'd woken up countless times from nightmares of him in danger, and just as often daydreamed about jumping into his arms when we reunited. But in reality, I hadn't received a single message from him all year.No news is good news, I kept telling myself.Grandma said his flight was due to land at 9:25 AM. I woke up at 5 to do my makeup and drove to the airport.It was already 11 AM. I checked my watch, wondering if Grandma had gotten the time wrong. Then I saw his tall figure in military uniform emerge from the crowd. At 6'3", he was hard to miss. I started running towards him in my high heels.Wait, who was that woman next to him? I slowed down, noticing his hand on her waist as he leaned in close, whispering

Chapter 2: A Mistaken Marriage

Hugh's POV No one knew I'd be bringing Esther back."Esther, is that really you? You look so different! That outfit is so cool," Carol squealed. I've never understood how some women can produce sounds like nails on a chalkboard.She quickly started directing the staff to prepare Esther's old room and instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner, declaring we'd have a welcome party tonight. Despite my strained relationship with my stepsister, her enthusiasm for Esther was somewhat reassuring.After leaving Esther with Carol, I took a deep breath and knocked on Shelia's door. I'd rehearsed a long explanation in my head, but when I opened my mouth, all I could manage was, "Please sign these divorce papers."I knew proposing divorce to Shelia today was cruel, but some decisions need to be made quickly. Delaying would only hurt her more deeply and harm Esther too.Her reaction was as expected. I picked up the bank card and divorce papers she'd thrown on the floor and left silently. She'd come

Chapter 3: Encounter

Shelia's POV “I never liked that guy. You were so fixated on him, as if under a spell," Travis Warner said."Come on, Travis. I'm already miserable. Can't you comfort me first?""You'll be fine. My sister won't be heartbroken over the unworthy. At worst, I'll teach him a lesson for you.""Don't cause trouble. I don't want Dad to find out about this."I reclined in the car seat, exhausted from a sleepless night. Travis, sensing my mood, fell silent.The sunlight outside the window made the road shimmer with heat. As I closed my eyes, memories of my first encounter with Hugh flooded back.It was a scorching summer five years ago. I was still a medical student then. During the summer break, my friends and I went camping in the mountains. That night, despite my initial objections, we decided to have a bonfire. We thought it would be safe near the stream with no wind.Our carelessness led to a forest fire.I ran aimlessly, choking on thick smoke. Before losing consciousness, I remember bei

Chapter 4: Award Ceremony

Hugh’s POVThe day after Shelia left, I called her twice, but she hung up both times. Did she think avoiding me would prevent the divorce?In the past, she always found ways to make me compromise - forcing me to marry her, quit drinking, eat carrot cake... But this time, I wouldn't give in. I asked Grandma about places Shelia might go and sent my assistant to search, but we couldn't find her. The owner of the car that took her away remained a mystery.On Saturday morning at 9 AM, an unexpected visitor arrived."I'm Shelia's lawyer. She asked me to deliver this divorce agreement. Please review it, and if there are no issues, you can sign," he said, politely handing over his business card and the document."Cliff Law Firm" - one of the best in the country, with connections to our company. How could Shelia afford such an expensive lawyer when she left empty-handed three days ago? It must be that man helping her.I skimmed the agreement. She wasn't asking for any property but added one cla

Chapter 5: He Always Wanted to Get Rid of You

Shelia’s POV Even among a group of muscular men, Hugh's face stood out. As Travis pinned the gold medal on Hugh's left chest, I overheard some women nearby."That pilot, Hugh, is so handsome.""I heard he's also an heir to the Thornton Group.""Really? He doesn't look like those playboys who only drink and chase women.""I wish he was a playboy. Who wouldn't want a fling with a man like that?"Hearing this, I felt a secret pride. I even wanted to tell everyone, "This man is my husband!"But seeing Esther standing beside him, I turned away sadly, taking a few sips of champagne.Travis, noticing my displeasure, tried to introduce me to some new people."Travis, is this your new girlfriend?" asked a young, brown-haired man of average build. He then smiled at me, "Have we met before?""This is Mason Quinn, the mayor's son," Travis introduced, then whispered to me, "He's not worth it. Let's meet someone else."I smiled politely at Mason, thinking, "We've more than met. A few days ago, I s

Chapter 6: Butcher? Murderer?

Shelia’s POVI followed Travis's instructions and ran towards the fire escape. The hotel had 26 floors, with the party on the top floor. More and more people crowded into the stairwell. I looked around but didn't see Travis. The crowd pushed me downwards. Because of my high heels, I stumbled and fell. Luckily, I gripped the handrail tightly, preventing myself from tumbling down the stairs. But my knee hit the step hard, breaking the skin. A sharp pain shot through me as blood trickled onto my foot.I forced myself up to avoid being trampled. Someone helped me to my feet. I turned to see it was Esther. Strangely, in just a few minutes, she had changed clothes. Her military uniform and medal were gone, replaced by a pink dress that seemed too young for her. It was also clearly too small for her tall frame.Before I could think more about it, she ordered, "Take off those ugly shoes."I obeyed, removing my high heels. She then helped me continue down the stairs. My resentment towards her

Chapter 7: Rescue

Shelia's POV The shot missed the fire escape door lock. He switched guns and fired twice more, then kicked the door open. I sighed in relief; none of the shots had hit me. I silently prayed he'd leave me alone and chase Esther. But he suddenly turned back and asked in broken English, "You know that woman?"I nodded, then shook my head, replying in Arabic, "She's a hero, a celebrity. Everyone knows her, but I'm not close to her.""Liar." He yanked me up, "If I can't find her, I'll kill you too."He tried to drag me along to chase Esther, but my right leg was still bleeding, and without shoes, I cried out in pain from stepping on debris."Why are you chasing Esther? I really don't know her well." I gasped.He ignored me, dragging me like a mop in his frantic pursuit. Any admiration or jealousy I had for Esther was now replaced by hatred.Suddenly, another gunshot rang out. Before I could react, the middle-aged man collapsed on the stairs. Two more shots followed, and the gun fell from

Chapter 8: Unknown Hatred

Hugh's POV Watching Travis and Shelia's intimacy at the banquet inexplicably irritated me.David was displeased with my earlier public argument with Shelia, "Mind your image in public. You represent Thornton Aviation!"He then left early to handle company matters. Esther went to the restroom, and I thought we’d head home together once she returned. But suddenly, there was a loud bang—a gunshot, one I was all too familiar with. The crowd began to panic, and I saw a waiter fleeing.I was about to give chase when I noticed Tom Henderson, a former peacekeeping comrade, shot and fallen. I rushed to check on him; the bullet through his temple was fatal. He lay there, eyes open, unable to speak."Call for help!""Get security!""Call the police!"Amidst the chaos, a man's voice came over the microphone,“Everyone, stay calm and quiet."I looked towards the stage where Travis was directing the crowd. Before he could continue, another shot rang out, downing another peacekeeper. The shooter, a

Chapter 9: What Exactly Happened in Dekka City

Shelia's POV “You're hurt," Hugh said, looking at my knee as he approached."It's none of your business," I turned away, not wanting to look at his lips that had just kissed someone else."Let me check your injury," Esther, now in a white coat, came over, reaching for my leg."I don't need your fake concern. You're not the only doctor here," I pushed her away."Shelia, Esther's just trying to help. You don't have to be so aggressive," Hugh chided me again."Yes, I'm aggressive, but at least I'm better than your lover. At least I don't set people up.”"What do you mean?" Hugh asked, confused."Shelia, you've misunderstood. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have helped you in the first place. When your leg was injured, I didn't abandon you. I helped you escape," Esther quickly defended herself. Then she clung to Hugh's arm and said, "Later, someone was chasing us. Shelia's injured leg slowed her down. I was so focused on running downstairs, I didn't realize Shelia hadn't kept up. Tha

Chapter 10: Can I Sleep in Your Room Tonight?

Hugh's POVThe incident had been named the "701 Terror Attack," starting at 9 PM on July 1st and lasting until the early hours of the next day. Six attackers were subdued, either killed on the spot or severely injured and unconscious. However, a female assassin reportedly escaped, and the police were in hot pursuit. Targeting such an event was already a bizarre move. The security was tight, and even without weapons, the military personnel present were highly skilled and vastly outnumbered the attackers. It was a doomed attack from the start.I watched as five peacekeeping soldiers were loaded onto an ambulance separately. Esther said they were dead.Instead of heading home, Esther and I went with the counterterrorism investigation team to their designated office for questioning. All the awarded peacekeeping soldiers had to go.Upon arrival, I was called into a private room. Opening the door, I found Travis sitting across from me."Do you know any of these seven people?" He tossed som
