Chapter 1

"Kelly's been quiet these past few days. Has she realized her mistakes?" Cody Rummish asked as he held Luna Briche in his arms, gently tugging on a loose strand of hair before kissing her deeply."If I had known she would've become this obedient, I would've thrown her inside the first time she caused trouble for you. Then you wouldn't have had to suffer so many grievances."Luna's face flushed pink as she snuggled deeper into Cody's arms and smiled at him sweetly.Cody's secretary, Trent Pencer, on the other hand, looked hesitant."Mrs. Rummish hasn't eaten or drunk anything in five days. Will she be—"Trent hadn't finished speaking before Cody grabbed a mug and smashed it hard against his head."How many times do I have to tell you? You're not allowed to call her 'Mrs. Rummish'! That vile woman doesn't deserve the title! Luna is my wife now!"Cody wasn't wrong. He was legally married to Luna."Babe, they're just names on a marriage certificate. They don't mean anything. I marr

"Since Kelly's behaving now, you can undo one lock. Do it loudly too, so she knows that as long as she behaves, I'll spare her life."He thought he was being generous with me, but to me, it was all meaningless. No matter how many locks he unlocked, it still wouldn't bring me or my child back to life.Luna sashayed her hips as her hand traced across Cody's chest."Cody, don't let things turn ugly because of me. You'll still marry her eventually and spend the rest of your life with her," she said as tears suddenly fell from her eyes."Unlike poor old me. Your brother's dead because of her, and I can only spend the rest of my life alone.""Don't worry, Luna. I won't forsake you or the child, regardless of who I marry."Both of you are precious to me. No one is allowed to touch you, not even Kelly. If she does, then she'll have to pay a hefty price. She owes you that much!"Luna looked at him with gratitude dripping from her eyes, and Cody probably believed himself to be some self

Luna looked startled when she heard this, and she quickly spun to look at Cody.Cody, however, merely sneered and asked, "How much money did she pay you to lie to me?""I'm not lying! Go and take a look if you don't believe me, sir! The corpse is already decomposing!""Get out!" Cody roared, his expression vicious. "Don't think I don't know she's playing some foolish trick! She just wants to lure me over and then beg me to let her go! She can keep dreaming!"Luna's nervous expression eased when she saw Cody's reaction. She then leaned her head on his shoulder and comforted him."It has been a while now. Kelly's afraid of the dark, so she must be terrified. Why don't you let her off the hook? I'm sure she's realized her mistake by now.""Ha! She just bribed my secretary to lie to me, so she clearly hasn't realized her mistake yet! She's just provoking me!"Of course, I know she's afraid of the dark, otherwise, I wouldn't have chained the closet so tightly that not even a bit of

"You putrid woman! Are you done yet?"First, you bribe my secretary to lie to me, and now you put a dummy here to scare me! Do you really think I'd fall for your tricks?"Cody swallowed hard a few times before he could suppress the nausea creeping up his throat.He then slammed the closet door with a loud bang before walking off while holding the wall for support."You're really getting more and more manipulative, Kelly! You'd better hope I don't find you, or I'll make sure you regret it!" When Trent saw Cody come back out with an ashen face, he hurriedly walked up to him to comfort him."Don't be too upset, sir. I know you didn't mean for this to happen. No one wanted anything like this to happen to Mrs. Rummish.""Enough! What did that bitch give you for you to still be helping her? I went and saw the truth with my own eyes! Just how long are you and that bitch going to keep this act up?"Trent looked completely baffled. He didn't understand what Cody was talking about."Bu

Chapter 5

Cody had ordered someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from the bedroom for the past week.He stared unblinkingly at the giant screen, worried he'd miss any evidence of me running away.He'd already watched the entire footage about six or seven times, and everyone's eyes were utterly strained and exhausted. Finally, someone gathered up their courage and said, "Mrs. Rummish truly never left the bedroom. So many pairs of eyes have watched the footage multiple times. There's no mistake.""In that case, that means the body in the bedroom—""Shut up!"Cody wrapped his fingers around the speaker's throat tightly. His eyes were bloodshot from not having slept, and this only made him look even more deranged. "How many times do I have to say it? No one is allowed to say that she's dead! Oh, I know! She bought you all off, too, hasn't she? Huh?"The housekeepers looked at Cody in confusion. They hurriedly shook their heads and explained that they'd barely even spoken to me."Yo

Chapter 6

"Where's Luna? How's the baby?" Cody asked, panting, when he arrived at the hospital.His parents were standing outside the emergency room, wiping their tears."What on earth happened? Say something!" Cody roared frantically.His mother, Tegan, with tears in her eyes, finally stammered out, "Luna was taking a stroll in the garden when she suddenly noticed that she had lost the necklace you gave her. She insisted on looking for it, but then she accidentally tripped on a stone and fell.""What necklace is worth her doing that? She and the baby should be the priority!""That's what we said, too, but she said this was different. That was the only present you had ever given her, so she really cherishes it."Cody fell silent when he heard his mother's words.Technically, that necklace hadn't been meant for Luna.…I was carefully polishing the necklace when Luna saw me.With a smirk, she came and snatched it right out of my hands. "You're not worthy of such nice-looking jewelry. I

Chapter 7

Cody and I had been facing opposition from his parents regarding the wedding when his brother, Devon, died.Luna cried as if her world had ended, and Cody's parents even fainted from all their crying.Cody's mother, Tegan, questioned Cody right in front of me."Your brother died young and didn't leave a child behind. Once we die, who's going to remember your brother and visit him at his grave? You must give your brother a child!"I've already asked Luna, and she has no objections. As long as you get her pregnant, then I won't oppose your marriage anymore!"It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck me when I heard those words. "Why aren't you asking me about my opinion? I don't agree to this!""Who do you think you are to interfere in our family matters?" Tegan snarled before she landed a hard slap across my face.I clutched my cheek, and Cody immediately stood in front of me protectively."I won't agree to this! I love Kelly dearly, and I won't betray our love!""You!"In

Chapter 8

Cody looked at me in disappointment, and his parents also wore an expression that said, "We knew you'd say that.""My parents were right. You're such a hypocritical woman. You're the one who did it, and yet you're not only refusing to admit it, but you're pushing the blame onto someone else. I'm really disappointed in you.""It really wasn't me!""Enough!"Cody didn't want to listen to my explanation and stormed out instead. That night, muffled moans came from the basement again, and I was so tormented that I couldn't sleep for days.After a few days, Cody came to explain things to me, but I shrewdly noticed that he and Luna had registered their marriage."There needs to be a father on the child's birth certificate, so I had no choice. Babe, they're just two names on a marriage certificate. They don't mean anything. You're still the one that I love the most."Cody professed that he loved me and only me, and thus I made myself endure it.However, barely a month later, Luna cam

Chapter 9

When Cody was about to leave the hospital, a nurse saw him and called out."Is this your family member?" the nurse asked as she handed Cody a document."The address she gave is the same as your home address, so I'm guessing she might be one of your housekeepers. This is her prenatal report. Her pregnancy hasn't been the most stable, so I wanted to check in with her, but I haven't been able to get in contact with her these past few days. Are you able to reach her?"This was a private hospital that was funded by the Rummishes, so all the staff there recognized Cody.Cody glanced at the report absentmindedly, but he froze when he saw my name."She's… She's pregnant?""That's right. She's two months along now. But she's always very pale and glum when she comes to the hospital, like there's something troubling her. That's probably why the pregnancy has been unstable… Hey! Where are you going?"Cody didn't wait for the nurse to finish and instead made a mad dash home."Why didn't I k

Chapter 10

When Cody arrived at Luna's hospital room, she smiled at him sweetly, just like usual, and waved him over. Cody strode over to her side, his expression stormy. Then, he grabbed her by her collar and slapped her hard across the face.Luna's lips instantly split and started bleeding, and her face began to swell.Cody's parents were so alarmed that they started yelling at him."What are you doing? She's pregnant with your child! Your brother won't forgive you for treating her like this!""She's the one who killed my brother in the first place!" Cody roared, leaving his parents frozen in shock.Luna, however, was still arguing. "It wasn't me! Have you found Kelly? Is that the lie she told you?"When Cody heard Luna continue to frame me, he completely lost it. He dragged her off the bed, grabbed the fruit knife that was on the bedside table, and plunged it into her shoulder."Aaaaah!" Luna's agonizing scream echoed throughout the room."You're the one who booked the plane ticket f
