Book 1: Chapter4
I have to admit, a woman’s intuition is spot on.
It wasn’t even dark yet. Jayden, who had been missing for a week,
came home.
I didn’t know if he thought I was blind, deaf, and had no sense of
smell, or if he was just that arrogant and confident.
His neck was covered in hickeys, of all sizes, clearly from several rounds of passion.
He reeked of a woman’s perfume, the same scent Ruby had worn that
morning.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
But with a new love, the old one becomes nothing more than a stain.
on the wall.
As soon as Jayden got home, he started picking fights. Somehow, he ended up bringing up my job.
“I heard you quit your job?” he asked.
I hadn’t told him I quit because I wanted to surprise him.
I had no idea where he heard it, but the answer was obvious.

My heart filled with sadness. I forced a smile. “Yeah, I have no job and no income now. I don’t even know who you’re giving your money to. I’m just living off the rent I collect every day.”
Jayden’s secret exposed. He became angry and ashamed.
He swung his hand, knocking the carefully prepared dishes off the
table.
“Freya, why are you being so passive–aggressive? Are you hinting I haven’t given you money? Screw your rent collecting. First, pay the
rent for this house.”
He threw two thousand dollars at my feet.
I crouched down, picking up the bills one by one. In the end, I couldn’t hold back. Tears fell down my face.
Through my tear–filled eyes, I saw the mess on the floor and the cold, impatient expression on Jayden’s face.
In that moment, my heart completely died.
“Jayden, today you came home and broke dishes. The day after tomorrow, will you start hitting me?”
I paused, and then finally, I calmly said what I had been holding in for
a long time, “I don’t think you want to live a good life anymore. Let’s get a divorce.”
“Divorce? Freya, I’ve been supporting you all these years. Pay me back

the money first, then we’ll talk! I barely come home, and you’re just looking for a fight.”
With that, he slammed the door and left.
I realized it wasn’t me picking a fight. He came back to find an excuse to vent Ruby’s anger.
Now that he was done venting, he was probably going to see her again.
He wanted both of me and Ruby. Jayden, not even in your dreams will you have it that good!
That night, the noise downstairs reached an all–time high, mixed with Jayden’s low growls. Was this a public challenge to me?
I couldn’t take it anymore. I used my alias to remind Ruby again.
She was in the middle of things and snapped back at me, “It’s not like the house is yours. What I do in my own place is none of your
business!”
I laughed. This house really was mine.
Ruby, you’re nothing but a shameless mistress.
Jayden, you’re just a fickle guy.
Now, I have plenty of ways to make life worse than death for you two.
This show has only just begun.
