Chapter 1

"I'll accept the hospital's offer. I leave for Italvia in two weeks."Vanessa Jahn stood by the window, pregnancy report in hand.On the other end of the call, Rob Lambert, the hospital director, sounded thrown. "Wait—what? After all this time? I've been trying to get you on board for years."She let out a humorless laugh. "Guess it finally felt like time for a change. Anyway, I've got a lot to wrap up before I go. We'll catch up later."She hung up. The ache in her heart lingered as she glanced back down at the report.Vanessa was an excellent OB-GYN—respected, award-winning, top of her field. She could've gone anywhere, climbed as high as she wanted. But instead? She stayed put, kept her schedule light, made room for her boyfriend, Scott Fabel.Three years ago, Rob pitched her this same transfer—an overseas assignment, big promotion, the whole deal. And she'd turned it down without a second thought.Long-distance with Scott? No way.Until today.Scott's secretary hadn't just

Vanished, Like His Loyalty/Nameless

Back in the car, Scott must've picked up on her mood. He reached over and grabbed her hand. "What's wrong? Another tough patient?"Vanessa had always been empathetic, often feeling deeply sorry for her patients."Yeah..." She paused, then looked at him. "Saw a pregnant woman today. She's someone's mistress. Crazy, right? Makes me wonder—why do people cheat? Is trash from outside really that tempting?"Scott's eyes flashed with panic, but he covered it fast, tugging her into his arms. "Babe, you're too sensitive. You always take on other people's problems. But... look, people are people. They have impulses. Sometimes they just want something different. It's human nature."Vanessa met his gaze, her emotions tangled.At noon, she'd been wrecked—seven years of loyalty, down the drain. Anyone would've crumbled. But after hours of letting the betrayal simmer, something inside her shifted.Now, hearing Scott's smug little life lesson about "impulses," she wasn't hurt anymore.She was d

When Vanessa got home, she took a hot shower to shake off the cold, then started packing.She folded her clothes into a suitcase and booked an international courier to pick it up.A housemaid noticed and asked, "Ma'am, going on a business trip?""No." Vanessa wasn't about to share her plans with anyone tied to Scott. She offered a quick excuse. "Just sending old clothes to charity.""You're always so kind. Oh, I made you some rice pudding—Mr. Fabel called earlier. He asked me to make it. Said it's your favorite."Of course, he did.Vanessa let out a quiet, bitter laugh.Scott. The master juggler. Balancing her and Cindy like some twisted circus act. Even while doting on his pregnant mistress, he still found time to play the "perfect boyfriend" card. No wonder everyone thought he was such a catch.All those years of her support and sacrifices, reduced to nothing more than background noise in his carefully curated image. She finally saw him for what he was—a good actor.Her gaze

Vanished, Like His Loyalty/Nameless

When Vanessa got home from the hospital, exhaustion hit her like a freight train.She told one of the maids to prepare a gift box.The maid smiled. "For Mr. Fabel?""Yeah. Our eighth anniversary's coming up."Perfect timing.Her flight to Italvia was booked for the same day. A clean break.Once the maid left, Vanessa sat at the table and started filling the box. Her pregnancy test result went in first. Next, the termination papers. And finally, Cindy's pregnancy report.She pictured him opening the box—watching the realization crash over him. Too bad she wouldn't be around to see the look on his face.Later that night, Scott called at his usual time.His voice dripped with fake warmth.God, what a joke.Then Vanessa heard it—Cindy's light, teasing voice in the background. She asked Scott what they should eat for dinner.Silence stretched between them.Vanessa didn't say a word.Scott cleared his throat. "Uh, I had to rush out for a business meeting. Cindy... she's good at

The next day, Vanessa sold off all the jewelry, clothes, shoes, and handbags Scott had given her.Every dollar went to charities for women and kids in need. His dirty money wasn't going to stick to her.Over the next few days, Cindy's Bali pics kept popping up on social media. Sunsets, cocktails, poolside selfies—all with Scott's sickeningly sweet comments underneath.Vanessa printed each one and slid them into the growing pile.By day seven, Scott finally showed up.She was halfway through dinner when the front door opened, and there he was. Just seeing him made her stomach turn.He walked in with a shopping bag. Gifts. Seriously? He set it down on the table and leaned in for a kiss.Vanessa turned her head.Nope."Have you eaten? If not, sit down and eat first," she said, voice steady."No, I haven't. I came home specifically to eat with you."Vanessa looked up at him. "You're so good to me."The words dripped with sarcasm. But Scott? Clueless.In his head, she was still

A few minutes later, Scott returned. Vanessa kept eating as if nothing had happened."I'm sorry, something came up at work. I gotta go," he said, stopping by the table."Okay." Flat. Detached.She glanced up — caught it. Flushed lips. Smudged guilt. That kiss burned in her mind like a bad memory on repeat.Must be a thrill, sneaking around while she sat right here.Scott was already halfway out the door when Vanessa calmly set down her fork.She reached for the necklace he'd given her.Straight to the trash.***With just days left before her move to Italvia, Vanessa headed back to the hospital to wrap up work and kill time.That afternoon, she got assigned to cover at a different branch. As her shift wound down, she found herself blocked in by a group of angry, stick-wielding troublemakers.Shouts echoed through the lobby, the air thick with tension as they stormed in, yelling at the staff.Vanessa instinctively stepped in front of her younger colleague. A stick came down

Chapter 7

Vanished, Like His Loyalty/Nameless

Vanessa shot Cindy a mocking smile.In her head, Cindy was just another pretty girl who could probably do better if she put her energy into, you know, actual work instead of drama. But hey, if you didn't respect yourself, who else would?Cindy caught the look and turned red with fury. Out of nowhere, she clutched her stomach and leaned against the doorframe, her voice all weak and shaky. "S-Scott, my stomach... it hurts..."Scott turned at once, panic flashing across his face. Without hesitation, he jumped up and rushed straight to her, leaving Vanessa behind.Vanessa just sat there watching as Scott scooped Cindy up and bolted to find a doctor. Cindy, despite looking like she was about to pass out, somehow found the energy to smirk at Vanessa like she'd just won.Vanessa sighed, motioning for a nurse to come over and remove her IV. The rest of the meds? Yeah, not worth it. She wasn't sticking around for this circus.As she stepped out of the hospital, her phone buzzed. Cindy, of

"Switching it up isn't a bad thing," Vanessa said, stirring her coffee. "Keeps life interesting. Relationships too—spend too long together, and it's easy for things to feel stale."Scott reached across the table, gently taking her hand. His voice softened. "Babe, are you feeling stressed? Or... maybe someone's been saying things to you?"His grip tightened, just a little. "Look, other people's relationships might fall apart, but not us. What we have? It's different. We worked hard for this, and every day with you still feels fresh."Vanessa, don't overthink it. I'm not like those guys. I'm different."His earnest act didn't land—it just made the bitterness in Vanessa's heart grow sharper. She slipped her hand away and gave him a faint smile."Let's eat. Didn't you say we were going out today?""Yeah, let's go."***Vanessa and Scott spent the morning wandering a high-end mall, with Scott keeping close and Vanessa playing her part. When they passed Lora's, the iconic luxury jewe

Chapter 9

Vanished, Like His Loyalty/Nameless

On the morning of their eighth anniversary, Scott had planned a romantic day on a cruise, down to every last detail.When Vanessa woke up, he leaned in and kissed her forehead softly. "Happy anniversary, babe."The bed was scattered with rose petals, and pastel-colored balloons floated around the room.Vanessa sat up, her face calm as Scott smiled at her, full of tenderness. "Let's get ready for the cruise. You're going to love it. There's a fireworks show tonight, and I'll even catch some fresh fish for you. You always love it when I cook what I catch, right?"She didn't respond. Tonight, she'd be boarding a plane—leaving him, their life, and their lies behind for good. After this, they'd have nothing tying them together.Just as they stepped out of the villa, Scott's phone buzzed.Vanessa watched as he glanced at the screen, his Adam's apple shifting—an unmistakable sign of suppressed desire.He shoved the phone back into his pocket, guilt flickering across his face. "Somethin

Chapter 10

Vanished, Like His Loyalty/Nameless

Before Scott could open the box, his phone buzzed loudly. Cindy.Her voice was frail and whiny. She wasn't feeling well, she said, and begged him to come over immediately.Scott reassured her with a few soothing words, already moving to leave. As he turned, his sleeve snagged the edge of the box, toppling it off the desk. Papers and photos spilled across the floor in a scattered mess.He glanced at it briefly but didn't stop. Too preoccupied with Cindy's call, he walked out the door, leaving the contents untouched.***Across the city, Vanessa sat in the airport, waiting for her flight to Italvia, when her phone rang.It was Rob from the hospital. There was an issue with her transfer paperwork, he explained. She couldn't leave just yet—it'd take another two weeks to sort everything out.Vanessa had no choice but to return home.It was late by the time she arrived.The housemaid greeted her at the door, looking relieved. "Ma'am, where have you been? Mr. Fabel came home earlier
