Hans Jarvis, Raymond Campbell's good friend, still seemed uneasy. "Listen, as your friend, I seriously think you should kick Jenna out of Havensport sooner rather than later. You know how much Xyla despises her. If she ever finds out Jenna's still around, she'll never forgive you!"Raymond gave him a light pat on the shoulder and responded, "Relax. I'll deal with her after our wedding. Once I'm married to Xy, I'll make sure Jenna's gone for good. I don't want her to ruin Xy's mood during our big day."Hans hesitated for a moment before asking, "You're not… catching feelings for Jenna, are you? Is that why you're keeping her around?"Raymond's expression twisted with undisguised hatred. His voice was harsh and laced with venom as he said, "Me? Feel something for her? Are you kidding? Jenna almost destroyed Xy; she left her weak and sickly… I hate her! I hate her so much I want to tear her apart! "I can't bring myself to be rough with Xy, so I can only take out all my desires on Jen

The next morning, I secretly followed Raymond to his company. From the hallway, I watched as Jenna barged into his office, her face pale and filled with desperation. "Mr. Campbell, please don't make me entertain your clients! I know I was wrong. You can punish me however you want, but please don't send me to them!"I had seen the messages on Raymond's phone the night before—one of his business partners had been hinting at wanting a taste of Jenna. Hence, I pretended to recall those bad memories last night. I knew it would stir up his anger and guilt.Later that night, Raymond responded to the man. "Do whatever you want with her. Just don't kill her."Raymond grabbed her chin, his eyes cold as ice. "You had no problem letting those men humiliate Xy. Now it's your turn to experience what she went through," he spat.With a wave of his hand, Jenna was dragged away. However, he didn't look gratified. In fact, he seemed conflicted and unsure.Jenna got what she deserved. I didn't feel s

Raymond had just pulled Jenna away from the edge when suddenly, a memory flashed through his mind. I had once stood the same way… at the very top of a building, toes nearly over the edge.Back then, I had just lost my grandmother. The witnesses had all been silenced. Jenna had paid them off, so none would come forward and testify that it was her who had run my grandmother over.Jenna had money and power. In her world, taking someone's life was nothing a bit of cash couldn't fix.I had gone to each witness one by one, begging them to testify. I even got down on my knees, but all I got was cold rejection. Left with nowhere else to turn, I climbed to the rooftop—shaking, alone, and ready to give up.Raymond had raced up the stairs and burst through the door just in time. I turned to face him, my eyes red from crying. My once-bright gaze was now clouded with despair, and I looked so small and fragile.At that moment, something in him cracked. His chest ached so deeply he could barel

Jenna arrived at the wedding venue, hoping to see if I would still marry Raymond after finding out everything. The scene before her was a total mess, and it thrilled her. Things had turned out as she'd expected.Before she could even feel victorious, Raymond stormed up to her and wrapped his hand tightly around her throat. "You've got some nerve showing up here. I swear to God, I'll kill you!" If it weren't for Jenna, he never would've lost me—his bride, the woman he loved more than anything.Jenna's face went from pale to purple and then to a sickening shade of blue as she struggled to breathe. Hans and a few others rushed in and peeled Raymond off her. "That's enough! Even if you kill her, Xyla's not coming back!"Raymond's hands fell away. Hans was right. The evidence of his betrayal, the wreckage of their relationship—it was all right in front of him. I would never forgive him, not in this lifetime.He didn't even remember how he got home. All he knew was that he needed to be

Raymond parted his lips and tried to explain himself, but he choked on his own words. "I-I'm sorry, Xy.""You don't have to apologize to me. You stood up for me when it mattered. As far as I'm concerned, we're even now."His eyes were filled with desperate longing, but I pulled my hand away and walked off.…Sure enough, the interview caused quite a stir online. Netizens were amazed at how Raymond was so determined to win back his fiancée that he even appeared on the news."Mr. Campbell is such a romantic! He's still single after all this time for the sake of his fiancée.""Hopefully, that young lady will give him another chance…"But not everyone was buying the love story; some dug up the mess from that wedding years ago."Don't be fooled by his looks! He lost his fiancée because he cheated on her!""And the woman he cheated with was none other than the heiress of Sanders Group. The same woman who used to bully his fiancée!"The pictures spoke for themselves, and his reputat
