Leo lounged on the couch. "You're back early today," he remarked."If that red car hadn't snagged my spot, I'd have been home even sooner. Had to sort that out first," I grumbled, mentioning Elisa's car.Leo's eyes narrowed a bit, and he stuttered, "Probably just someone who parked in the wrong place.""It'd be nice if they thought about that," I said, searching through my bag. I pulled out a wrapped watch, and despite Leo's hopeful gaze, I tossed it in the trash.His face froze. "What did you throw away, Babe?""Some garbage," I said curtly."What is it?" he pressed."I said, some garbage," I replied firmly.Leo sat up, his expression turning cold. "Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and you're pitching a fit now?""You smell like you just had sex with a prostitute, you know?" I asked."Are you crazy?" he yelled, leaping to his feet. Pointing at me with a ringed finger, he shouted, "Hailey, how dare you talk to me like

I quickly got changed, picked up my bag, and left the house.I was worried sick. No one knew Edward Aesthete, the rich and powerful person who appeared at my wedding, was my only family. A couple of years ago, he was hospitalized due to a heart disease and had undergone countless operations.I had always been worried about his condition.The night breeze caused me to shiver. I quickened my pace and prayed that Grandpa would be fine.After arriving at the hospital, I went straight to Grandpa's ward. Through the window, I could see him lying weakly on the bed. He was connected to a respirator, his eyes were closed, and his face was pale.Ryan, who had always been Grandpa's attending doctor, was the one I relied on for reassurance. But with Ryan away, the emergency was now my responsibility.Entering the ward, I checked on Grandpa and asked the nurse, "How's he doing?""The wound is bleeding, and his blood pressure suddenly dropped. We m

Ethan seemed to have a special talent. Whenever he showed up, one could only see him and nothing else.Elisa finally realized that she should keep her cool. It was probably because the man who had his arm wrapped around my waist was way better than the man by her side who didn't know what to do. This made her feel a little embarrassed. Therefore, she threw the coffee cup in her hand away and turned around to leave.Lily clenched her fists and shouted behind Elisa. "You should fucking apologize to Hailey!" I squeezed Lily's hand. "This is not something that a school teacher should say. Watch your language." Lily looked at me in disbelief.I then added, "Hey, Lily, stay cool! There's a handsome guy watching us."Lily and the man behind me shared a look and erupted into laughter. That was when I felt something shaking behind my back. Ethan was chuckling as well.Ethan released his hold on me and remarked, "I'm here to p

If I ever thought a heart-to-heart could mend things between Leo and me, those naive hopes were now shattered. As I got to know Leo better, trust dwindled. I viewed him and Elisa as detestable figures that needed to vanish from my world.Elisa witnessed Leo's anger—the fury of a man whose claim had been violated. She couldn't fathom Leo's pretense of being a husband to me, fueling her frustration to the brink.Ethan stepped in, grasping Leo's hand as Leo lunged for me, holding on so tight that I thought I heard a snap. Leo paled in pain, eventually releasing his grip. I regarded Leo coolly; his actions no longer had any sway over me."Indeed, we should talk," I addressed Leo. He smirked, but his expression froze as I continued, "Right here."I continued, "It's simple. You cheated on me, I want a divorce, and you agreed. Anything else?"Leo panicked, seizing my hand hastily. "Divorce? Why? We never...""You just said you'd be brave for once,

Hailey's POVI'm Hailey, a 28-year-old medical intern. Little do people know, I'm the sole inheritor of the Aesthete family.I lost my parents at a young age. Memories of them were blurry, mostly them calling me their little princess. After their departure, my grandfather Edward became my pillar. His shaky embrace and the thought that I might never see the two people who loved me most in this world lingered with me.Ever since, my main concern had been my grandfather's well-being. A few years ago, his heart issues worsened. Opting to be a cardiac surgeon proved a fortuitous choice, allowing me to stay by his side and tend to him. Each successful recovery post-surgery brought solace. My sole focus was my grandfather's health, as he was my sole kin. Hence, I remained a medical intern; I knew advancing to an attending physician would entail more obligations and less time for him.Yet, life's trials extended beyond the hospital and my grandfather—there was also my marriage.
