Chapter 1

In my last life, a severe illness I had prevented my husband from traveling to the border for a business trip.

He immediately canceled his flight, pulled me into his arms, and gently comforted me.

On the phone, he only told my sister: "The project is crucial. You go in my place."

But no one expected that the so-called partner was a black-hearted scam company.

My sister had her organs harvested and was tortured to death.

I was heartbroken. He held me as I broke down, promising in a choked voice that even though my sister was gone, he would love me twice as much.

He kept his word. For ten years, he wouldn't let me suffer a bit, spoiling me into a useless mess.

Until the day I went into labor, in such agonizing pain I nearly passed out. Yet, he pressed down hard on the call button, his words dripping with venom.

"If you hadn't gotten 'sick' so conveniently back then, I wouldn't have let her go alone to that meeting! I could have saved Chloe! You killed her!"

"Chloe must be so lonely down there. You and this bastard child, go keep her company!"

Only then did I realize that ten years of 'love' had been nothing but a cruel deception.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day he was supposed to leave for the border.

This time, I took the phone from his hand and personally booked two one-way tickets for him and my sister.
