Chapter 1

After her mother's funeral, Mia Larson received a call from her aunt, Zoe Larson. “Mia, your mom is gone now. I can’t stop worrying about you staying alone in the country. Why don’t you come abroad and live with me?” Mia remained silent for a long time, as though she was making a monumental decision. Finally, she solemnly answered, “Alright.” “Really? You’re willing to come? That’s wonderful!” Zoe’s voice on the other end was filled with joy. “But I heard you got married. Will your husband agree to move abroad with you?” Mia chuckled at the question. “Don’t worry. We’re about to get divorced.” Before the call ended, a commotion sounded from outside the door. Nick Ford was back. Mia glanced toward the door but didn’t get up to greet him like she usually did. Just then, Nick’s younger sister, Jenna Ford, strutted in, her face full of smugness. “Nick brought Xena back. You, the imposter, will be kicked out soon!” Mia frowned slightly. “Imposter?” Jenna looked ...

Chapter 2
Nick cast a cold, penetrating look at Mia, then suddenly let out a mocking laugh. “Since you don’t mind, why don’t you help Uncle Jacob carry Xena’s luggage upstairs?” He was clearly trying to humiliate her, probably annoyed that she had made him lose face in front of his one true love. Mia’s face turned slightly pale, but she quickly recovered, forcing a smile. “Sure.” With that, she turned and started helping Uncle Jacob move the luggage. She was so obedient, so compliant. Logically, Nick should have been pleased. Yet, as he watched her calmly carry the bags upstairs, an inexplicable irritation rose within him. The room was tidied up quickly. Just as Mia was about to head back downstairs, Xena walked in. “Mia, thank you for letting me stay here.” Xena grabbed Mia’s hand with both of hers, her brows furrowing as she said with a delicate, pitiable expression, “If it weren’t for you and Nicky, I really don’t know where I would have gone.” As Xena spoke, the light cau

Chapter 3
The necklace was stunning, featuring a rare red diamond set in heart-shaped platinum—a symbol of a love that was meant to be unique and irreplaceable. But that love wasn’t hers to claim. “No, thank you,” Mia said, shaking her head with a polite smile. “This is a gift from Nick to you. How could I take something so precious away from someone else?” If it wasn’t meant for her, she wouldn’t take it. She wouldn’t accept the necklace and she wouldn’t accept the man who gave it either. “What’s with the attitude?” Nick suddenly snapped, his frustration boiling over. “So I forgot your birthday because I was busy with work. Is it really such a big deal? Do you have to act like this?” Mia was stunned. She didn’t understand what she had done wrong. She hadn’t cried or caused a scene. She had smiled the entire time and spoken with perfect courtesy. So why wasn’t he satisfied? “I wasn’t being sarcastic,” Mia said softly, lowering her gaze to hide the exhaustion in her eyes.

Chapter 4
Nick spent the entire night in Xena’s room. Mia hadn’t gone out of her way to notice this but Mrs. Zimmer, the housekeeper, had eagerly pulled her into the backyard early that morning to share this “important information” in hushed tones. “Ma’am, you’ve got to start paying attention!” Mrs. Zimmer said anxiously. “That shameless little vixen, Miss Quinn, is clearly here to seduce Mr. Ford! You wouldn’t believe what she was wearing last night. I couldn’t even look!” Mia smiled faintly. “You’re overthinking it. Miss Quinn and Nick grew up together, and he holds her in high regard. Please don’t speak badly of her again. Nick wouldn’t be happy if he heard you.” Mrs. Zimmer froze, her expression bewildered. She looked Mia up and down before hesitantly asking, “Ma’am, what’s going on with you?” “I’m fine,” Mia replied with a smile. “I’m doing great.” But that smile looked like a mask welded onto her face. She would keep smiling. She wouldn’t cry anymore. “No, something

Chapter 5
Mia’s mother, Charlie Larson, had passed away a week ago. She had been in the late stages of brain cancer. Despite Nick’s arrangements for her to stay in the best hospital in the country, her condition continued to deteriorate day by day. Her moments of clarity grew shorter, and her confusion lasted longer. Most of the time, she couldn’t even recognize Mia. The attending doctor had warned that they couldn’t delay any longer. A surgery was necessary. Otherwise, Charlie might not make it through the week. Mia didn’t know what to do. She called Nick, hoping to get his advice. The first three calls went unanswered, and when he finally picked up on the fourth, he lashed out before she could even speak. “Why are you calling for no reason? I’m busy! Stop bothering me!” The attending doctor, knowing Mia was Nick’s wife, suggested having Nick bring in foreign specialists to collaborate with the domestic team for a medical consultation. This would increase the chances of a succ

The accusation came out of nowhere, leaving Mia feeling helpless. “If I haven’t stepped into the kitchen all day, how could I have had the chance to drug Miss Quinn?” she said calmly. “Just because you didn’t go into the kitchen doesn’t mean you couldn’t bribe someone who did,” Jenna sneered. “When I came over this morning, I saw you and Mrs. Zimmer acting all secretive in the garden. Now that I think about it, you were probably plotting to poison Xena!” “Heavens, Miss Ford! You can’t just make baseless accusations like that!” Mrs. Zimmer exclaimed, panicked. “I’m just a housekeeper. How could I dare poison someone?” “Then what were you and Mia whispering about in the garden this morning?” Jenna pressed, unwilling to let it go. “I…” Mrs. Zimmer glanced at Mia nervously, unsure of how to respond. With Nick and Xena present, she couldn’t possibly repeat the conversation from that morning. “Can’t answer, can you? I knew it! You two are definitely up to something!” Jenna dec

Chapter 7
Mia's suggestion to call the police elicited interesting reactions from both Xena and Nick. Xena’s gaze darted nervously, while Nick erupted in anger. “Mia, do you think I wouldn’t dare call the police because I’m unwilling to let you go?!” “No, Nick, I know you would,” Mia silently answered him in her heart. “But your precious Xena won’t let you. She knows her little tricks might fool you, but they won’t fool the police.”If the police were to uncover that the peanut powder was something she added herself, wouldn’t that be incredibly awkward for her?Sure enough, a second later, Xena spoke in her sweet voice. “Nick, don’t do this. Mia is still your wife. You can’t send her to jail because of me.“Besides, I’m fine now, aren’t I? And think about it—if not for Mia, then at least for the Ford family. If the public finds out that your wife went to jail, it would damage the company’s reputation, and Ford Corporation’s stock would surely take a hit.”With Xena’s persuasion, Nick m

Chapter 8
After spending a full day and night in bed recovering, Mia had finally regained enough strength to face what lay ahead.Today was the day she would leave. Her flight was at 7 p.m., and once she boarded, she would never come back. As dawn broke, Mia got out of bed and began packing her belongings. She decided to donate everything to a local community center. Among the donated items were all the gifts Nick had given her over the years—clothes, handbags, jewelry and even the wedding ring he had placed on her finger. Anything of value was donated to benefit others, while the less valuable items were tossed into a fire. If she was starting over, she would leave with nothing that tied her to him. By the time she finished, it was already afternoon. Mia glanced at her phone—it was 3 p.m. Just four hours until her flight. She was about to change clothes and head to the airport when Jenna suddenly appeared, blocking her path. “Mia, what are you standing around for? Come

Chapter 9
After Mia stormed out of the banquet hall, barely holding herself together, Nick walked in with a large bouquet of roses.“Jenna, why are you here alone? Where’s Mia?” Nick asked, puzzled. “Didn’t I ask you to take her to change into her wedding dress?” Jenna’s expression flickered with guilt. She avoided Nick’s gaze, looking off to the side, but her words were still sharp. “Mia left! She was upset that you’ve been focused entirely on Xena lately and ignoring her, so she stormed out and bailed on the wedding.” Nick frowned, his brows knitting together. “Ran away? Impossible. Mia isn’t the type to do something like that.” He knew Mia too well. She was as gentle and docile as a little white rabbit. She never contradicted anything he said or opposed any decision he made. Sometimes, even Nick himself felt he was too harsh on her, but she always silently endured, understanding and accommodating him with her endless patience and tenderness. Just like two days ago, when he had fo

Chapter 10
Xena was on the verge of a breakdown, hysterical and trembling. Nick, however, let out a cold laugh, his demeanor distant and unyielding, like an untouchable king. With a disdainful glance at Xena, he sneered, “Still don’t get it? Everything I’ve done was to get back at you.“There was a time when I loved you more than anything, when I would have given up everything for you. And what did you do? You left me without hesitation for some useless artist abroad. You even blocked me on everything!“Do you have any idea what I went through after you left? Do you know how much I suffered during that time?” At this moment, there was no trace of love left in Nick’s gaze. It was replaced entirely by a deep, festering hatred. “From that moment, I swore I’d make you feel the same pain I went through—multiplied.“When I found out how miserable your life was after your marriage, I can’t tell you how happy it made me. I wanted nothing more than to buy a plane ticket, stand in front of you,
