"Once you sign this contract, you and Nolan will no longer be married. Are you really willing to give up everything you have now?"
Nolan's mother typed the message on her phone and handed it to me, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
I lowered my head, signed my name, and left without looking back.
Everyone knows how difficult these years have been for Nolan and me. I lost my hearing to save him, and he defied his family to marry me.
People envied how deeply Nolan loved me, and even I thought I had found redemption.
But on the day I regained my hearing, I discovered Nolan had another family outside our marriage.
"I wonder if Scarlett would go insane if she knew that instead of sending me to jail, you've been having children with me?"
The woman straddled Nolan's lap, the picture of seduction.
She was Vivienne, the one who had loved Nolan unrequitedly years ago and ran me over with her car, leaving me deaf.

Recovering My Hearing, I Got Divorced

Vivienne laughed as she handed over her phone, but Nolan, without a word, scowled and swatted it out of her hand.


"Didn't I tell you not to provoke Scarlett? Didn't I tell you to stay out of her sight?"


"Was it you who told her about the miscarriage? Vivienne, isn't what I've given you enough?!"


Nolan grabbed her by the throat, his eyes devoid of any affection, filled only with hatred.


"It's not enough! What I've always wanted was never any of this!"


"What I want is your love, your heart!"


Vivienne's body trembled as she accused him, yet her love for Nolan remained fervent.


Nolan recalled my icy stare, which stood in stark contrast to Vivienne's current state.


After all, the woman before him was carrying his child; he couldn't let the baby lose its mother.


Vivienne, however, despised me to her core.


Because traffic cameras had caught Vivienne stepping on the gas pedal twice.


So the case was reopened for investigation.
