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.

Released From Prison, My Girlfriend Became Others' On-screen Couple

In the photograph, my sister looked happy, showing no signs of her autism.


It seemed she truly enjoyed being with Vivienne's family. In the past, she always appeared silent and awkward around Myra.


I blamed myself for focusing too much on Myra and not giving her enough attention.


"Everyone in the family adores Celeste. Since she left, Grandpa often stares at her photos, lost in thought," Vivienne said as she arranged the lilies my sister loved.


She then filled me in on how things had been for her these past few years.


Suddenly, she grasped my hand, looking at me with determination in her eyes.


"Damien, you're not alone. I'll be by your side, just like when we were kids and you rescued me from that cliff, refusing to let go even when you were hurt."


I was stunned for a few seconds, recalling the girl who had fallen off the cliff when we were young.


Everything became clear. No wonder she was so kind to Celeste, no wonder she was so warm towards me.
