I selfishly believed he still loved me.

But when Madison appeared, she shattered my illusion.

Felix stood up for her time and again, lowering his standards and treating her like a princess. He was like a king, capable of bestowing both pain and happiness. He cruelly transferred all his affection to Madison, leaving me in anguish.

He did not want a divorce because I was still his "one true love."

But he turned his "one true love" into something mundane and ordinary.

The admiration and passion he once had for me have completely faded away.

……

Felix did not come home all night.

I sat on the couch, thinking about how we ended up like this.

By noon, Felix finally returned, looking refreshed and energized. It was obvious he had spent a wonderful night with Madison.

He handed me a gift box.

Inside was a piece from a niche designer I had always liked. It wasn’t too expensive, but it was rare and hard to come by.

Felix clasped the necklace around my neck and placed a gentle

  • The One True Love That Never Fades   Chapter 3

    On the day Madison’s designs were unveiled, Felix hired an army of paid commenters and influencers to hype her up. They were painting her as a talented, beautiful, up-and-coming designer and a prodigy blessed with natural talent.He even stepped on my reputation, demeaning me to prop up Madison’s popularity.I looked at her design drafts. They were just slight modifications of my original work. But it was precisely those small changes that made the whole piece a disjointed mess.Industry experts could spot it right away.As expected, during the live broadcast of the finals, the head judge bluntly pointed it out."Miss Hill, with all due respect, is this design entirely your own work?"The overall concept is creative and shows talent. However, the diamond-studded details are completely out of place. It’s like putting dirt on a masterpiece."The judge’s harsh words made Madison’s face turn bright red.Tears welled up in her eyes as she said indignantly, "Professor, even if you do

  • The One True Love That Never Fades   Chapter 4

    Madison's tear-streaked face instantly transformed, her eyes lighting up with excitement and anticipation.Felix, in disbelief, gripped my shoulders tightly."Lexie, don’t say things like that. We’re not getting divorced."I was just too impulsive earlier. Does it hurt? Let me take you to the hospital."I pushed his hands away and continued, "Tomorrow, my lawyer will contact you about the division of assets, and then we’ll meet at the courthouse."Seeing that I wasn’t backing down, his tone turned harsh."Lexie Lincoln, don’t regret this!"See? The moment his interests were threatened, he showed his true colors.There was no doubt. I was going through with this divorce.A month later, we were officially divorced, and I took half of Felix’s assets with me.He texted me, still unwilling to let go."Lexie, how have you been lately? I miss you so much. There will always be a place for you by my side."I read the message as I landed in Micano.Forget about being anyone’s second

    The other interviewers nodded in agreement with me."If your own work doesn’t even match the concept and vibe you’re describing, did you really create this yourself?"If I remember correctly, you were accused of plagiarism three years ago."Everyone looked at her with disdain. In this industry, originality was everything, and plagiarism was the worst offense.Madison’s face turned bright red, her fingers nervously digging into her skin as she shouted."Lexie, you can’t just accuse and slander me without evidence because of our personal issues!"This design is entirely my own creation."Looked like my comment three years ago about burning the drafts gave her the confidence to blatantly copy my work, assuming I had no proof.But I was referring to the paper copies. I still have the digital scans.She really was unbelievably stupid.Even if I were falsely accusing her, who in this room had more credibility than me?The other candidates seemed to get the point, quietly moving th

    And they always were always chasing what they could not have.Felix reached out to grab me again, but a hand appeared from behind me, putting a stop to his actions."Mr. Gibson, men and women should maintain proper boundaries. Stay away from my girlfriend."Chris pulled me close in an almost possessive manner, wrapping his arms around me.Felix looked hurt, his eyes filled with hope as he gazed at me.In the past, I could not resist that look.But that was when I loved him. Now, I did not care for him at all.I did not move, allowing Chris to do as he pleased. I needed him to get rid of Felix.Chris smiled with a smug, almost taunting expression.Felix clenched his fists in frustration. Leaving Madison behind, he turned and walked away.See? A man like that would give you the world when he loved you.But when he was done, he would not even spare you a glance.I did not feel sorry for Madison, though. Why pity someone who chose to be the other woman?I turned back and said,

  • The One True Love That Never Fades   Chapter 7

    The glass cup fell to the ground and shattered.Madison, choking back tears, cried out, "All you ever talk about is Lexie. Do you even remember that I’m your girlfriend? Do you know how it feels to watch you chase after women who look like Lexie every single day?"What a pair of pathetic people.As they pushed and shoved each other, Madison fell onto the broken glass.Blood started to pool around her.Her face turned pale, and she clutched her stomach in panic, crying out, "The baby! My baby!"But Felix looked even more frantic as he turned to me."Lexie, don’t get the wrong idea."I felt dazed.Seeing Madison like this reminded me of myself a few years ago.I was overjoyed when I found out I was pregnant.But that little life was so fragile.And where was Felix at that time?Was he explaining himself to some other woman, or was he out having fun?Suddenly, I felt a pang of pity for Madison.She still could not see Felix’s true nature, and now she had lost a child who sh

    "One more thing! Stay away from my girlfriend. If I see you near her again, I’ll beat you up every time!"Felix suddenly curled his lips into a malicious smile. He then said slowly, emphasizing each word, "Chris, did you know that Lexie had a miscarriage because of me?"My heart skipped a beat.I could not believe how low this man would go, using the memory of an unborn child to hurt me.Chris kicked him hard in the chest, putting his full strength into it. Felix writhed on the ground in pain.Chris looked ready to beat him more, but I stopped him.Felix smirked triumphantly, but the next second, his smile froze.I studied him closely and then slapped him hard across the face.My sharp nails left bloody marks on his skin.In a cold voice, I said, enunciating each word, "Felix, that slap was for you. You truly disgust me."I may not have had the chance to be with that child, but the last thing he did for his mother was to show me what kind of man you really are. So, I will p

    As expected, he cashed out all his shares and poured every last bit of his liquid assets into an open project. On the surface, the project looked promising, but in reality, it was plagued with a bunch of holdouts. Even if he could recoup his investment, it would take a long time.And that was exactly the trap Chris and I set for him. The old Felix might have seen through it, but the man he was now was nothing more than a gambler. He was just throwing everything he had into a desperate bid for a quick return.Who knew if he would last that long.Two months later, Felix was completely broke. He sold his house, cars, watches, and antiques. He even set his sights on the expensive jewelry he had bought for Madison.That scared her so much that she packed up and ran away in the middle of the night.Now, Felix was truly ruined, with nothing left.He was stuck in a shabby rental, working a dead-end job, enduring the scorn of his superior day after day.The last time I saw him, he wa

  • The One True Love That Never Fades   Chapter 10

    On Chris’s 99th confession, I finally said yes. It was not a carefully thought-out decision, just something I did on a whim.He responded automatically, "Alright, I’ll try again tomorrow."Wait, what did you just say?"That single “yes” echoed in his mind over and over.He stood there, frozen like a computer that had crashed.Then, suddenly, he ran over, lifted me up, and spun me around several times."This is amazing! You finally said yes!"After putting me down, he scooped up our cat, Stella, and gave her a few excited kisses."Stella, I really am your dad now!"Stella, annoyed by all the kisses, swatted him a couple of times.He just touched the spots she hit and smiled like a lovestruck fool.I could not help but wonder. What if our future child ended up being as silly as he was?Wait, why was I thinking that far ahead?Stella, acting all proud, jumped into my lap and started rolling around, showing off and being cute.Then, like a shy newlywed, Chris sat down next
