‘You love me, but I love someone else. From now on, she will live in this home with me.’
When Xavier Chen stepped aside, the woman beside him came into view.
Elise Foster smiled just as she always had.
Only the warmth in her eyes disappeared.
For over a year, she had loved him with everything she had. She stood beside him through every storm, protected him without hesitation, and never once asked for anything in return.
‘The only thing I will never forgive is cheating. If another woman ever stands between us, I will leave him.’
Xavier crossed every line she had drawn. Then he broke the last one.
He expected tears. Rage. Desperation.
Instead, Elise welcomed the other woman into their home.
She showed her Xavier’s habits, his preferences… even the things he never noticed about himself.
Then she handed her the position of future Mrs. Chen.
‘I wish you a long and happy life with him.’
For the first time, something inside Xavier cracked.
Elise returned to the life she had abandoned for him, as if he had never been the reason she stayed.
That was the moment Xavier Chen lost control.
Pride, power, consequences—none of it mattered anymore.
Only one thought consumed him.
Without Elise, even breathing felt like punishment.
And if the entire world had to burn to bring her back… he would reduce it to ashes with his own hands.
