"Do you think you're worthy of marrying someone from the Barton family when you're so useless?"
"How can the daughter of the Lynde family marry a peasant like you? It's a humiliation to her!"
"Today, we're gathered here to annul the marriage contracts with a loser like you!"

Too Late For Remorse
After the birth of our daughter, my husband left for a dangerous mission. My in-laws' initial joy soured, and they regarded my baby with disdain. Maria, my mother-in-law, was particularly scornful.
In a rare show of familial love, my father-in-law Lincoln took my daughter out for a playdate. I thought he had finally grown fond of her, only for him to strike me the moment he returned.
"How dare you betray my son! I'll kill you!"
"Yes! Beat that loose woman to death together with that brat!"
Shifting my gaze from the report on the floor to my furious father-in-law, I pulled out several photos—my naked mother-in-law Maria, caught with another man.
"Let's see who the real loose woman is!"

Too Late for Regrets
On the day of my seventh wedding anniversary, my husband's lover gave my son a pet cat.
My pregnancy made me allergic to cat fur, and rashes appeared all over my body. Sensing that it might lead to a miscarriage, I told my son to return the cat.
"I'm keeping it!" my five-year-old son, Zachary, protested. He pushed me and said, "I hate having you as my mom! I want Aunt Lynn to be my mom!"
My husband, Quinton Locke, tore into me. "Why did you have to develop an allergy now, out of all times? Is your jealousy blinding you to the point where you won't even consider your son 's feelings? You're being unreasonable!"
He carried Zachary up and left with the cat. They had eschewed me in favor of Lynn Shelbert, Quinton's lover and the 'apple of his eye'.
I collapsed on the ground, watching as blood began to soak my pants. At that moment, I knew I had suffered a miscarriage.
I felt an unimaginable pain while I was in the hospital.
My husband and son went traveling with Lynn, resembling a happy family of three.
Lynn sent me a message. [Do you know why Quinton married you even though he's hopelessly in love with me? Well, I wanted a son and a daughter, but I didn't want to bear the risks that come with pregnancy. It's a shame you had a miscarriage.]
Despair engulfed me that very instant.
I hired a lawyer to prepare the divorce papers and took a flight back to my hometown.
My sole wish was to never see Quinton and Zachary again.
Too Late for Forgiveness

Serena Judd is a mess when she's taken to the hospital after being harassed by a freak. As she waits in the corridor for her turn to see the doctor, she sees Justin Farrow with his arm around a young woman. He's coaxing her gently.
With a raspy voice, Serena looks at Justin, the guy she has been on and off with for years. "Didn’t you get my text?"
"It's Candice's birthday, so I can't upset her. Besides, who knows whether you actually ran into a freak?" He frowns, looking disdainful. "Were you violated?"
Serena's blood runs cold at his words. She tenders her resignation the following day, but Justin isn't bothered. He says, "She's more obedient than a dog. She'll come back to beg for forgiveness without me even saying anything."
This time, however, Serena leaves without hesitation.
…
Half a year passes. Justin sits in his car and dials a number he's already committed to memory. As soon as the call is connected, he says tensely, "I miss you."
All he hears is a snort. "Why are you disturbing me in the middle of the night with a love confession, Mr. Farrow? You should be asleep."
Justin snarls, "Where's Rina? Tell her to answer the phone!"
Wilson Quade looks at Serena, who's lying beneath him, her eyes gleaming with desire. He smirks devilishly and says, "We're busy, Mr. Farrow."
