When I was released from prison, my champion boxer girlfriend led a grand welcoming party at the prison gates.
As a man was about to approach, my girlfriend immediately shielded him.
"Don't touch him! People just out of prison have heavy negative energy. You're not in good health. I'd be heartbroken if you caught something bad."
I was stunned. My girlfriend smiled nonchalantly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
"Damien, I can't have any blemishes on my reputation now, so you'll have to bear with it for a bit."
"Soren and I are just an on-screen couple. Don't cause him any trouble - he can't handle being frightened. You understand, right?"
My throat tightened as I nodded bitterly.

From her reaction, I instantly knew she had been lying to me, using the ashes as an excuse to get me here.


My expression gradually darkened, my body tense as I suppressed the fire burning inside me.
