When Joseph Belfort was at his lowest, he caught me lying in bed with another man. Later, he made it big and married me in a wedding of the century. Everyone said he loved me more than life itself, but I knew he only did it out of revenge. Every day, he brings different women home. He sleeps with them to my face, even telling me to serve them. I do as told as long as he pays me. He's thoroughly disappointed in me and asks for a divorce. Then, he gives everything I once wished for to Yarra Quinton. He doesn't know everything I did in the past was just a lie, though. I'm about to die.
View MoreWhen the doctor told me she was going to die, I refused to believe it. How could this be possible? We were supposed to be entangled for a lifetime.How could it all come to an end so suddenly?I went mad searching for the best specialists in the country. I even spent a fortune bringing in doctors from overseas to treat her. In the end, they all said the same thing—she was beyond saving.Many people came to visit her in those days. I never even knew she had so many friends. Through their conversations, I learned things about her I had never known. I finally uncovered the truth about our breakup.She had never betrayed me. She only loved me too much.I couldn't accept it. If she had never betrayed me, then what the hell had I been doing all these years?Even Yarra lashed out at me, saying I was the one who drove Annabelle to death. That… That couldn't be true. How could I ever hurt her?It took me days to come to terms with reality. No matter what, I had to keep her alive. Eve
She said, "Yeah, the moment I realized it was your child, I'd rather let it die!"There was even a strange smile on her lips.All the strength in my body drained away.Maybe… It was time to let go. Maybe we should stop this endless torment.For a long time, I didn't go home. I wanted to end this ridiculous farce.I wasn't willing to accept it. I had been gone for so long, yet Annabelle never sent me a single message.She used to cling to me, always finding something to say as if we would never run out of things to talk about.How had we reached this point where she seemed completely indifferent?Fine. If she wanted to act like she didn't care, then I would make sure she could never escape me. I would make her hate me. I would make sure she was bound to me for the rest of her life.I knew Yarra had been scheming behind my back, but I didn't care. As long as Annabelle was suffering, I was happy. The more miserable she was, the more satisfaction I felt.Then, she used that pat
Joseph's POV.When Annabelle asked to break up with me, I couldn't believe a single word she said.We had known each other for so many years. I knew Annabelle better than she knew herself—what she loved and what she hated. She could never be the kind of person she was pretending to be.I was certain something had happened in her family. She must have been afraid of dragging me down, so she made such a lousy excuse.My foolish sweetheart, how could you ever fool me?I begged Annabelle over and over to take me back. I wanted to prove with my actions that no matter what happened, I would never leave her.However, Annabelle, who had always been soft-hearted, suddenly turned stubborn. No matter what I said, she refused to change her mind.That was when I knew. Whatever she was facing, it was serious.That only made me more determined to stay by her side. She was the only family I had left in this world. I couldn't let anything happen to her.However, I never expected to walk in and
Edmund's POV.When I returned, Annabelle was already gone.She lay quietly in the chair as if she had only taken a short nap. However, I knew she would never wake up again.A few days ago, when she asked me to help her arrange the organ donation paperwork, I didn't want to go through with it. I had already missed the first half of her life, and in these final moments, all I wanted was to stay by her side.However, she smiled at me and told me she knew I would fulfill her last wish. And so, I agreed.I could never refuse her.When I heard she had been abducted by Yarra the next day, I was terrified. Although nothing happened in the end, I kept wondering—if that hadn't happened, would she have lived a few more days?She kept telling me it was fine and that she had already prepared for this. However, I had seen her in the throes of her illness.The pain was unbearable, something no ordinary person could endure. She had always been afraid of pain. How did she manage to bear it all?
In the end, Yarra was arrested for her countless crimes.I heard that after she woke up, her mental state deteriorated even further, and she was sent to a psychiatric hospital.The money Joseph had transferred to her was also recovered.As for Joseph, he was still in the hospital, undergoing emergency treatment. No one knew when he would wake up.It wasn't until the next day that Edmund finally rushed back. After hearing what had happened, he refused to leave my side for even a second.However, it didn't matter. There wasn't much time left for me to do anything anymore.Together, we went to the appropriate authorities and completed the paperwork for organ donation.Even though my illness was severe, many of my organs were still in good condition. I hoped they could give others a chance to live.Waiting to die was agonizing. If I could help a few people, I would. There wasn't much else left for me to do.After the paperwork was done, Edmund sent me to the orphanage. He strictly
Hearing those words, I suddenly broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.My mother and I had always relied on each other. The people in our neighborhood looked down on us, constantly bullying us.They spread rumors that my mother seduced men, yanked my hair when I walked past, and spat on me, calling me a bastard.Because of this, we moved from place to place.Then I met Joseph. He never let anyone speak ill of us. If someone tried to bully us, he would throw himself into a fight, never backing down, no matter how bruised and bloodied he got.Over time, people stopped talking about us.Every morning at dawn, he would wait outside my door, a warm breakfast in his hands, calling for me to walk to school with him.I once thought we would spend the rest of our lives together.When we grew up, we realized we had fallen for each other. It was only natural for us to date.Yet, he seemed even shyer around me after that. My mother would watch us from the side, covering her mouth as she laug
I was completely speechless.So, as long as Joseph showed up, I had to die?"I never did anything to betray you, did I? If you want revenge, why not go after him directly?"Yarra glared at me like a mad woman. "Because of you, he let my child die! You're sick, yet you insist on staying here, playing the victim. If you didn't exist, everything would have been mine."He hurt me, but you're the reason behind it. None of you are getting away. If I have nothing left, then fine—we'll all die together. My poor child is all alone with no one by their side."She clutched the knife tighter, a sinister smile spreading across her face as she slowly stepped toward me."I changed my mind. Why don't you die right now?""Stop!"At the critical moment, Joseph finally arrived. "I'll give you anything you want, just don't hurt Annabelle!"Yarra sneered, her expression full of mockery. "See? I told you. He loves you so much. There's no way he'd just stand by and do nothing."Do you know? In the
Joseph, Edmund, and I had known each other since we were kids.Back then, we were all poor. Since they were boys, their families didn't care much about them as long as they didn't get into trouble.However, my mom was different. She loved life. Even a simple grocery trip could end with her bringing back a handful of wildflowers from the roadside. That was why Joseph and Edmund always loved coming over to my house.On my tenth birthday, my mom wanted to throw me a proper celebration. However, she had been seriously ill not long before, and we had no money. Still, she saw that birthdays were celebrated with cakes, so she decided to bake one herself.When Joseph and Edmund dropped by to play, they walked in right in the middle of it and joined us without hesitation.The four of us spent the whole day in the kitchen. In the end, we baked something that looked completely misshapen, but surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.That day, Joseph looked at me and promised that one day, he wou
Despite changing all my contact details, I could still see people discussing him because of his status."It's been days, and he's still not giving up. Looks like he really does love his wife.""Love? When he slept with those women, did he ever think about his wife? Now that she's nearly dead, he's still out there having kids with other women."They continued to bash Joseph, but he still posted a few apology statements every day."Anna, I'm sorry. Everything was my fault. Please, just let me see you one last time. Give me a chance to find a way to save you."Days later, the narrative began to shift."I saw his wife walking by here a few days ago. Out of curiosity, I contacted him, and guess what? He actually gave me money. His condition seemed really bad. His assistant said he hadn't eaten or slept for days because he was desperate to find his wife.""Well, I guess Yarra is to blame for all of this. If it weren't for her meddling, they wouldn't be in this mess. Mr. Belfort has re
"Dr. Xanders, I want to live. Could you please extend the payment deadline for my medical bills?"Dr. Lucas Xanders stared at me in shock. "The Belfort Group has assets worth billions. Mr. Belfort made it onto the list of wealthiest people years ago, and you're his wife. How could you be out of money?"I let out a bitter chuckle. If I were still the Annabelle Lincoln of the past, Joseph Belfort would have spent his entire fortune to save me.Yet, I betrayed him long ago.Years ago, his father was swindled and left the family drowning in debt. He ran off with the last of their money, leaving behind an elderly mother and a child. His grandmother collapsed from the shock and was hospitalized. From then on, Joseph carried the weight of the entire family alone.I was the only one by his side.However, I was diagnosed with a hereditary disease. My mother begged me to break up with him, but I refused. I told her Joseph would never abandon me.Yet, she said, "Do you want him to watch th...
