I run into a group of rogues on my way home for my daughter's birthday. I call my wife for help, but she blocks my number. I'm dragged out of the car, stabbed a dozen times, and thrown into the bushes to die. My neck is broken, and my organs are spilling out of my body. The rogues think I'm going to die—they even mention each other's names before me. Then, they drive off in my car while whistling happily. I hold onto my head and organs as I crawl to the roadside, hoping against hope that someone will save me. Before I'm taken to the hospital, I see my wife's social media update—she and her secretary have taken a sweet photo together while celebrating our daughter's birthday. The first thing I do after being discharged is demand a divorce.

I observed Beverly with a complicated feeling. In the end, I nodded."Let's eat first. We'll talk later. But I want you to keep in mind that no matter how our relationship changes, Celeste is innocent. She needs our love and support."The meal was heavy with unspoken tension, and we both silently avoided sensitive topics. Afterward, I was about to clear the dishes when Beverly stopped me."Play with Celeste. I'll clean up."I carried Celeste into her room, my emotions swirling with complexity.The days that followed seemed to bring everything back to what it was a month ago. Celeste came stumbling toward me with her beloved toy, her face lit up with pure joy."Dad, look! Mom bought me this toy!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement.I looked at her, and my eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.This was the very reason I fought so hard to survive.During the moments when I was on the verge of death, my only thought had been to get back to my daughter and be there to protect her

Soon after, I received the divorce papers from my lawyer and forwarded them to Beverly. However, after a while, there was no response from her.Back home, I stayed up all night organizing the room for Celeste to move in with me.The next morning, I rushed to the kindergarten. But when I arrived, there was no sign of Celeste. My heart leaped into my throat, and I hurried to ask the teacher about her whereabouts.When I learned that Celeste hadn't shown up that day, I grew even more anxious. After everything that had happened, I feared the worst for her.My hands trembled as I dialed Beverly's number. Yet, the call was disconnected. At that moment, it felt as though I was transported back to that suffocating night.I forced myself to stay calm and quickly thanked the teacher before rushing out of the kindergarten.Thoughts of calling the police flashed through my mind countless times but were pushed aside when I noticed Beverly's car parked outside.The driver rolled down the wind

I turned away and walked off.After being discharged from the hospital, I contacted a real estate agent to find a new place.Fortunately, it wasn't the peak rental season, and by the end of the day, I had paid the deposit and moved in. The apartment was bare, but it gave me hope for a fresh start.However, just as I was stepping out to buy some essentials, I ran into Beverly at the door. My expression darkened instantly."You already know everything. Why are you still following me?" I asked. "Or do you think I haven't cleared myself of your baseless accusations and are here to dig up more evidence?"Anger crept into my tone as I continued, "I've made it clear that we're divorcing. I won't take a penny from you. What more do you want? There's no need to make this uglier than it already is.""I'm sorry. I misunderstood you before," Beverly intoned. "I've talked to Ashton. He admitted the investigation was rushed, and the conclusions might've been wrong…"I stared at her in disbeli

As I entered the police station, I nearly bumped into Freddie Brown, the detective handling my case. He took a step back and gave me a once-over before exhaling in relief."Mr. Lane, I lost contact with you. Someone finally picked up my call just now but there was no response. I was this close to heading out to look for you myself!"His face was flushed red with worry, and a complex mix of emotions stirred within me.It was ironic. After everything I'd been through, the person who seemed to care the most wasn't my wife of seven years but the detective assigned to my case."I'm fine. My phone probably had bad reception. Were you heading out? If you're busy, I can wait."Freddie waved his hand dismissively as he said, "I was on my way to look for you. Now that you're here, safe and sound, that's a load off my mind."I nodded and followed him into the office without caring about Beverly, who stood frozen behind me.Inside, Freddie handed me a cup of water, and his gaze lingered on

Beverly turned to look at me in disbelief."What… What's going on? Why is the police calling you? Why didn't I know about this? What happened to you during the past month?"Her voice trembled with panic and confusion.Similarly, Ashton's face tensed with unease.Worried I'd expose his lies, he jumped in hurriedly, "Mr. Lane, whatever issues you two have, you should talk them out. There's no need to stage a call like that to fool her. Ms. Mitchell's been under a lot of stress lately. This isn't fair to her."But for once, Beverly uncharacteristically cut him off. Her eyes locked onto the scar on my neck, and she demanded, "Mateo, what happened to your neck? Where have you been for the past month? I'm your wife. I have the right to know!"I snorted and said, "What's the matter? Didn't your lover fill you in? You weren't there when I needed you. Now, my life is none of your concern. Quit the act. It's disgusting."With that, I got up and cast her an icy glance. "I don't want anythi

"Ashton, you've been meddling in my family for ages, and I let it slide. But you've crossed the line when you used my daughter as your ticket into this house!"My words only made Celeste cry harder in Ashton's arms. "I don't want a cheating dad! You're gross! You're awful!" she shouted.Ashton looked panicked, but I caught the glint of triumph in his eyes. Blinded by rage, I lunged at him and grabbed him by the collar."You bastard! What lies have you been feeding her?"Beverly intervened by kicking me hard and shoving me back."You're insane!" she yelled.I staggered back a few steps, and the motion pulled my scarf loose again.Beverly's gaze was a mix of revulsion and fury, and she said through gritted teeth, "Mateo, wear your scarf right. I don't want to see that disgusting mess again."Panic surged through me as I hastily covered the marks. However, unbidden memories flashed through my mind.I recalled whenever Beverly came home late, she would have strange bruises on her

Beverly spun on her heels and scowled at me as though I had committed an unforgivable crime."What the hell is wrong with you? Ashton has been taking care of Celeste while you were out doing God knows what for over a month! What's with you now? Does either of us owe you something? If you came back just to cause trouble, then don't bother coming back at all!"Her words were cruel, but my emotions had already been drained.I nodded numbly and replied, "Once you sign the divorce papers, I'll disappear and stop interfering with your lives. You won't even need to come up with excuses to spend time with him anymore."Beverly's fury erupted. She grabbed a glass from the table and hurled it to the floor, roaring, "How many times do I have to repeat myself? How long are you going to keep spewing this nonsense?"You're the one who disappeared for a month! I didn't even say anything about it, yet you're asking for a divorce right when Celeste is starting school. Do you even care about this f

I was momentarily speechless.Beverly sneered at my silence and continued, "If it weren't for Ashton, Celeste would've ended up in the hospital. Just what kind of father are you, Mateo?"Irritated, I snapped, "Fine. She's my daughter alone, not yours. So after the divorce, don't even think about fighting for custody! Celeste will be with me, and you can stay out of our lives."I felt nothing but immense disappointment toward the woman I had loved for seven years, who now felt like a complete stranger. Whatever we had, it was already over.Beverly's look of contempt stiffened on her face.Just then, Ashton walked in, holding Celeste's hand. He casually took her backpack and placed it on the entryway cabinet, his voice calm and soft."Mr. Lane's back? What's all this commotion? I'll take Celeste to her room so you two can talk."With that, he changed his shoes and led Celeste away as if he owned the house.A cold smirk tugged at my lips. "I've been gone for just over a month, and

From the time I was rescued by a passerby to when I was discharged from the hospital, Beverly Mitchell never called me. For over a month, there was not even a single message from her.The only thing I received was an accusatory text on the day of the incident."You thought it was a good idea to pull a runaway stunt just because I didn't answer your call? Suit yourself. Don't come back unless it's for good!"After that, she blocked my number.Day and night, I was in excruciating pain. I tortured myself daily by scrolling through Beverly's social media, sinking from heartbreak to complete despair.What stared back at me were cozy pictures of her, her secretary Ashton Larsen, and our daughter Celeste Lane visiting amusement parks together every week.They looked like a picture-perfect family of three. Meanwhile, as her husband of seven years, I hadn't even made it onto her social media.I used to think Beverly simply didn't like posting photos of her private life. But apparently, t
