On my birthday, Ethan brought his petite secretary to attend my birthday party.
Melody was wearing the same dress as me, and people around us were whispering and staring at me.
"At her age, she's still trying to dress like a young girl."
As I shifted my gaze, I noticed that the necklace Melody was wearing was also identical to mine.
But this necklace was the one Ethan had bought for me on my birthday last year, and it was supposed to be one-of-a-kind worldwide.
Melody, taking advantage of the crowd, shoved me and whispered mockingly in my ear, "An old hag like you only deserves to wear fakes."
I lost my balance and fell into the swimming pool.
Crawling out of the water in a mess, I was ready to slap Melody back, but as I raised my hand, it was stopped before I could follow through.
"Scarlett, look at yourself! What a mess!"

He said, "If you don't want to enjoy your birthday, then get out."
I pushed him away and left the banquet hall alone.
Behind me, he jeered, "Good riddance. At least you won't embarrass yourself here anymore."
And so, on my 28th birthday, I found myself walking alone to a law firm.
"Hello, I'd like to file for divorce."

I hated him. I hated that he rescued me from darkness, only to push me into an abyss.


The Carlisle Estate and the Montgomery family were old friends. When I was in high school, my father jumped to his death due to Ms. Carlisle's debt issues, and the shock caused my mother to develop mental problems.


At that time, it was the Montgomery family who helped handle my father's funeral arrangements and paid to send my mother to a high-end care facility.


Ethan, in particular, stood by my side throughout. I took a year off from school, and during that year, he was there with me, taking care of me and guiding me. It was because of him that I was able to move past this family tragedy.
