I have an obsessive crush on Alec, and I'm willing to marry him just to be his shield for his affair with his childhood sweetheart.
"I'm bringing Vivienne home tonight. You'd better not show up."
I'm recuperating in the guest room, trying to avoid them at all costs. I watch helplessly as they embrace and head upstairs. They don't even bother to close the master bedroom door before they start their intimate entanglement.
My thoughts are simple: to love someone is to love what they love.
I'm under Alec's spell. If I can't have him, I'm content with being Mrs. Grey in name only.
But when the earthquake strikes, I witness Alec rushing to Vivienne's side, holding her tight as they escape danger.
Meanwhile, I'm trapped under layers of crumbling walls, billboards, and utility poles, closing my eyes forever.
I regret it now. No amount of affection is worth more than my own life.
Given another chance, I decide to give up on Alec.
But now he's the one with regrets.

Husband Abandoned Me During the Earthquake

I snapped my fingers, "If you want it, go for it! Once you and Alec have sealed the deal in public, Alec's mom will have to grit her teeth and accept it. Then I'll divorce Alec right away so you lovebirds can be together."

"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking."


I nodded, "Now our goals are aligned. It just depends on whether you've got the guts to take a chance."


Vivienne bit her lip, as if making up her mind.


With that, she marched off like a true warrior, full of vigor and determination.


Watching her go, I almost died laughing.


But when I turned around, I saw Nash's deep, inscrutable gaze.
