During an avalanche on an Antarctic expedition, my fiancé Jaxon didn't hesitate to save his true love Melody.
But it was expedition leader Garrison who risked his life to protect me as I was about to plummet into an ice crevasse.
Later, when Jaxon abandoned me at our wedding, Garrison got down on one knee and proposed to me.
After we married, he treated me well and our life seemed blissfully happy.
Little did I know, in our second year of marriage, he was suddenly diagnosed with liver cancer.
To save him, I didn't hesitate to donate two-thirds of my own liver.
But at his hospital bedside, I overheard his brother asking him in French:
"If Meadow finds out you faked liver cancer to save her, aren't you afraid she'll leave you with nothing?"
Garrison tenderly held my hand, but his words made my heart freeze.
"The marriage certificate is fake, but I do feel bad for her. I'll make it up to her properly."
I thought after a lifetime of loneliness, I'd finally found true love.
Little did I know, it was all an elaborate deception he had carefully woven.

Trapped in His Web of Love and Lies

"This stone was discovered at the entrance of the cave," Dean Everhart said gravely, his finger tapping lightly on the screen.


"Preliminary analysis suggests it's far older than we could have imagined, possibly dating back to ancient times. Combined with some unique geological formations and remnants found around the cave, we believe this cave could very well be the entrance to an ancient relic site."


Deeply intrigued by this mysterious totem, I asked him eagerly, "When can I go?"


Dean Everhart sat up straight, once again looking at me with a hint of concern.


"Meadow, I'll be honest with you. I've asked many people, but not a single one was willing to go in. You're the only one!"


It's only natural for people to be unwilling. After all, no one knows what's inside.


But I still insisted, "Dean, I'm willing to go!"


He patted my shoulder appreciatively, gesturing for me to walk outside.


As I stood there somewhat confused, I saw a person kneeling in the snow.
