Chapter 11

That day, Anne introduced herself as Connor's colleague. From beginning to end, Connor never mentioned her name.Soon after, he sent Felicia home and did not take her to the office again in the following days.Anne was keenly aware that Connor would never mention her in front of Felicia, let alone tell Felicia her name.Facing Anne's sharp gaze, Felicia hesitated, her eyes flickering nervously before she adjusted her clothes. "Ms. Maddison, are you going to keep watching?"Anne stared at her for a moment before turning to leave.Once back in the car, she opened the surveillance footage.The recording showed Felicia allowing Connor to kiss her for a while before flipping him over and pinning him down.Unbuttoning his shirt, she kissed him inch by inch. "Connor, I'm back. Why don't you want to touch me? Have you fallen for Anne?"Even though she abandoned you, you still chose her. If it wasn't Anne you married, you would've divorced the moment I returned, right?"Anne's heart sa

"What did you say?"Anne froze, momentarily forgetting to resist.Connor grasped her chin, his expression dark with a sneer. "When I went abroad to look for you, a man was holding you in his arms and kissing you."Back then, I was actually planning to reconcile with you. And you? You left me without a word, and then, without a word, you got together with someone else."Did I deserve to be played like this?"Connor had gone to look for her?Anne suddenly recalled her first year abroad when a teaching assistant had pursued her persistently.Once, during her menstrual period, she had stained her pants, and the teaching assistant had taken off his jacket to tie it around her waist.When she thanked him, he had unexpectedly hugged her and kissed her on the lips before she could react. Despite her complaints, little came of it due to a teacher's intervention.To prevent such incidents from recurring, she avoided getting too close to any man and always carried pepper spray in her bag

Anne staggered to her feet.Her expression, filled with utter despair, made Connor's chest tighten with a suffocating pain.Half-kneeling, he grasped her hand, and tears began streaming down his cheeks without warning."Anne, let the past stay in the past, okay? Let's start over."Anne stared unfocused into the distance.Her lack of refusal gave Connor a glimmer of hope. He stood and pulled her into his arms, holding her so tightly as if afraid she might slip away."Let's have a child, okay? Let's have a little girl who looks just like you, dear."In his mind, images of her flashed by, a little girl in kindergarten with braided pigtails, a high school student with a ponytail studying earnestly. Their years together played like a movie in his head.Back then, he would trail behind her every day, letting her spend his allowance. If he missed her, he would climb over the school wall to see her.Even though they were in different classes in high school, he always bought her favori

Chapter 14

The next morning, when Anne opened the bedroom door, Connor—who seemed to have been waiting for a long time—carefully guided her to sit at the table."I made breakfast. Eat before heading to work," he said.He placed a bowl of oats in front of her.Connor nervously swallowed, his throat dry. Only when Anne accepted the oats and started eating did he let out a visible sigh of relief."Dear," Connor called her by a new title. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke, "When I was with Felicia, I did develop feelings for her."Seeing Anne pause mid-motion, he hurriedly added, "But now that she's back, I only take care of her out of responsibility."After all, it was because of me that she disappeared. Her parents are gone, and now she's lost her memory, remembering only me."I thought..." Connor glanced at Anne's expression carefully. Seeing no visible reaction, he continued, "I'll give her the apartment she's staying in."After clarifying our relationship, I'll keep my dist

Chapter 15

As soon as Connor's car left, Anne hailed a taxi and followed him.The moment Connor got out of his car, Felicia rushed out to hug him.He pried her off and walked inside.Anne opened the surveillance feed on her phone, watching Felicia tearfully ask Connor, "Connor, why haven't you come to see me these past few days?"Connor loosened his tie, took a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it, inhaling deeply. "Felicia, do you remember where your first time was?"Through the hazy smoke, Felicia could not clearly see his expression.She remembered that it was this topic that had softened Connor's attitude toward her before. Lowering her head shyly, she replied, "At a hotel. Your friend called me, saying you were drunk. I took you to your room, and then you pinned me down..."Connor suddenly realized he might have misjudged Felicia.He had always thought of her as strong and resilient, never asking him for anything directly. She had worked two jobs, surviving on practically nothing, y

Felicia's eyes were bloodshot, and her palm was cut open, with blood dripping down her wrist."I told you I'd take care of you," said Connor, taking a deep breath, afraid to agitate her further."But you're already married!"Connor said, "I've told Anne. I'll transfer this house to your name."Felicia replied, "But I don't want the house. I want you. Connor, I just want to be with you."Crying, Felicia leaned in to kiss him. "Have you forgotten? You promised to marry me, to give me the grandest wedding. You said you'd become my family, protect me forever, and never let me be hurt again. Did you forget all that?"Connor snatched the shard of glass from her hand. He wiped away her tears and bandaged her wound. "I haven't forgotten.""Then divorce Anne and marry me, okay?" Felicia's lips brushed his chin as she leaned in again.Connor frowned and turned away. "Felicia, it's over between us."Felicia laughed bitterly, then suddenly ran to the kitchen, grabbing a knife and pressing

"That night at the hotel, why did you lie to me?" Connor asked. "And what really happened during the three years you were missing?"Felicia hugged her knees, looking terrified and refusing to speak.Connor sighed, exhaustion evident as he closed his eyes briefly before reopening them. "Felicia, whatever you're hiding, you can tell me. You know I'll help you."Felicia wrestled internally. She had thought about confessing to Connor, but the moment she told her first lie to get close to him, she had sealed her fate. If he found out about her calculated approach, he would never forgive her."I'll transfer this house to your name. After this, stop calling me. I don’t want my wife misunderstanding things again.""Connor, are you really saying you’ll never see me again?"Felicia curled up in the corner, her eyes hollow and lifeless.Seeing her like this, Connor feared for her mental state and could not harden his heart completely. "I’ll transfer money to you every month and visit you o

"I really don't want a divorce," Connor murmured as he leaned against the wall, his expression vacant. Slowly, he sank to his knees and his face tilted slightly upward, revealing a clear streak of tears."Anne, give me another chance. Love me again, please?""I'll give you a week to think about it," Anne replied coldly. "If you don't want those videos reaching our parents or causing a scandal about your affair, sign the papers quickly."Anne did not want the situation to escalate. Their company was in a critical phase of collaboration, and she could not let their divorce affect the stock price."The prenuptial agreement is crystal clear. Even if you go to court, you won't get a single cent.""I don't care about leaving with nothing. I don't care about the money. I care about you, Anne!" Connor knelt and wrapped his arms around her waist, pleading. "I don't want to be apart from you.""You claim you can't live without me, yet you can't let go of Felicia. Your love is truly all-enc

Chapter 19

Anne sat frozen in her chair, staring blankly at the screen.As she deliberately pieced things together, it finally dawned on her. Felicia was the scarred, battered girl she had once stopped to help and bandage.Although Felicia's face had faded from her memory, the horrifying bruises and burn marks remained vividly etched in her mind."You remember this girl?" Her father’s voice interrupted her thoughts.Blinking, Anne felt a heavy weight press against her chest. Her voice was muffled as she asked, "Dad, you remember her?"Her father, who sponsored dozens of students each year, usually delegated all follow-up payments to his assistant. The fact that he would recall Felicia so distinctly surprised her."She was the most unfortunate among that batch of students," he explained. "Her mother, driven insane by domestic abuse, drowned herself in a river. Her father was a gambler who beat her whenever he lost."He continued, "Later, I received a bank card from her. It had about quite a

"Have you met him?"Anne calmly pushed the coffee toward Felicia, but Felicia slapped it away, spilling a few scalding drops onto the back of Anne's hand."What do you want, Anne?"The sight of that house had dredged up terrifying memories for Felicia, causing her to shiver uncontrollably."The house Connor gave you, give it back to me."The house worth millions was not something Anne was willing to part with so easily."And before our divorce is finalized, you're not allowed to take any money from him.""Fine." Felicia's demeanor shifted entirely, shedding her previous frailty."After we divorce, you cannot marry Connor within a year."Remarrying so soon after the divorce would inevitably draw attention. Anything that could impact the company, Anne was determined to nip in the bud."I thought you'd tell me not to marry him at all."Anne smiled indifferently. "You and he are a perfect match. Both of you are ungrateful and fickle."Besides, if they truly intended to marry, C
