Our entire family consists of international mercenaries, and I married Emily, the commander who was my perfect match.
But on our wedding day, a group of rebels stormed into the mercenary chapel, and all hell broke loose.
Emily, however, immediately pushed me away and protected her childhood sweetheart as they escaped.
I was pinned down by the rebel leader in front of the statue, repeatedly violated in front of all the captives, my limbs completely destroyed.
The next day, I was thrown in front of the tent, naked and covered in blood.
My twin sister fell to her knees, sobbing, and with trembling hands carried me into the medical pod, begging the medic to save me.
But in my hazy state, I overheard my sister and Emily coldly conspiring:
"That group of fake rebels is all dead now. No one will know you let them humiliate my sister."
"I'll help you keep it secret, but I only ask one thing: be good to David."
"Back then, he risked his life to save us, getting poisoned in the rainforest. Now he's carrying your child at the risk of his own life..."
Emily gripped my sister's shoulder, her voice low:
"Don't worry. Asher is done for. Now everyone believes he's unfit to be my husband. I'll take good care of David."As for Asher, we'll ensure his safety for life, but he must never threaten David's position."
So, the man I deeply loved and the sister I trusted most only saw me as a stepping stone for David's path.
If that's the case, I don't want this mercenary group anymore!

Love Like Ashes, Turning to Emptiness

Emily felt her mind in disarray, unwilling to believe what she had just heard.


"Impossible. Why didn't Asher tell me?"


The nurse glanced at her. "Well, you didn't ask. Weren't you just fretting about your current husband?"


"Here, these are your darling's scans. You can see for yourself that both kidneys are intact."


Emily walked to the window, comparing Asher's and David's test results.


If it had been neurotoxin from the rainforest, it would have caused rapid kidney failure, almost complete deterioration.


"No wonder he said his sins were too great. So this is why."


Emily suddenly remembered the night I had asked her for her body.


At that time, she could have saved my life.


Does that mean I wanted to tell her everything then?


Emily suddenly collapsed to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.


"So you were the one who detoxified us."


Her sister's tears flowed like a river as she crumpled to the ground.
