I was an invincible special forces soldier, yet I was ambushed at my own wedding, my eyes gouged out.
When my fiancé found out, he publicly called off our wedding, then immediately married my best friend Vivienne right there on stage.
In my moment of despair, it was Commander Gentry who got down on one knee and proposed to me with everything he owned.
He said he had secretly loved me for years, and would love me for a lifetime even if I was blind.
Moved by his devotion in front of everyone, I immediately accepted.
Five years into our marriage, I endured three days and nights of difficult labor to finally give birth to our child, then passed out from exhaustion.
When I opened my eyes again, I rushed to hold the baby, but accidentally overheard Gentry talking to the doctor,
"Commander, the baby was perfectly healthy. Why did you strangle her? She was your own flesh and blood!"
"She's just bad luck. Everything could have been fine."
"But the baby Vivienne gave birth to yesterday is malnourished, and Briar's breast milk would be the best nourishment in the world."
"Besides, I only married her so Vivienne could marry the man she loved. This child was never meant to be born in the first place..."
In that moment, I suddenly understood everything. Originally, I thought marriage was just a scam.
And the child I struggled to give birth to became someone else's sacrifice.
After wiping away my tears, I sent a text message, "Does your offer from last time still stand?"

Love Like Fireworks, Consuming Us Both

"Who was up there?" Gentry's voice was as dark as hell itself, sending shivers down Private Shaw's spine, leaving him speechless.


"It... it was the missus, sir. I was patrolling the area when I saw her standing on the top floor with my own eyes."


"The next second, the whole building exploded, turning to rubble. No survivors..."


But he refused to accept the bloody truth staring him in the face.


Like a sword come to life, he lunged forward, grabbing Private Shaw by the shoulders, shaking him violently.


"Impossible... it can't be true. You're lying to me, aren't you?"


"Speak up! Who sent you to spy on me? How dare you fabricate such lies to my face!"


"Why would Briar even be at Centagon? She always stays at home like a good girl, never goes out, let alone to some damn mall!"
