Chapter 1

1,477 words

Everyone knew Ethan and I loved each other to our very core.

To save me, he'd given me the only bottle of antitoxin, ready to die himself.

To protect him, I'd used my body to shield him from a kidnapper's knife, taking a fatal blow for him.

Everyone thought we'd be together forever.

But the day after he proposed, I dumped him cold-turkey and married Liam, who had been pursuing me for ages.

Even after my betrayal, Ethan held no grudge. He still loved me like before.

Later, when my daughter had a car accident, he even sacrificed his leg to save her.

Even Liam, who despised Ethan to his very core, was eventually moved by Ethan's unwavering love for me and became his good friend.

When Ethan was unexpectedly diagnosed with a terminal illness, Liam even insisted on donating a kidney to him.

But when I heard the news, I acted completely out of character. I gave Liam the cold shoulder.

I insisted, "Liam, if you insist on giving a kidney to that Ethan, then we're getting a divorce immediately!"

Liam tried to reassure me, telling me not to worry about him. My daughter, Lily, also cried, begging me to save her Uncle Ethan.

But I stared into Ethan's deep, loving eyes, gave a cold laugh, and my voice was absolutely resolute.

"Who's worried about you? What I want is for Ethan to die a miserable death!"

"If you dare to give him even half a kidney, I'll divorce you completely, even if it means losing custody of Lily!"

"Save him or choose me. You decide!"
